When the Darkness Falls

Bloghop and Giveaway

July 13th thru July 21st

In celebration of a Friday the 13th AND it being Ms. Hennessee Andrews' Birthday... we are having a blog hop!

 

I sort of wish I wrote horror so I could put a scary snippet up, but I don't. So, instead, I went looking for the history of Friday the 13th. It seems to stem from a multitude of superstitions that all came together around 1907. Fridays have been looked at as "bad" for some time. Travelers in the 1800's would refuse to begin a journey on a Friday in hopes of avoiding it's influence. In 1907 a novel was written that seems to have sparked the whole phenomenon. 

Dan Brown also incorporated the myth of Friday the 13th's in The Da Vinci Code. There seems to be just enough pop-culture references throughout the years to continue feeding the superstition. Of course, the movies have put a whole new spin on the fear and for most of us that is what drives the superstition. By the way, watch the first one sometime. They are quite hokey, but the legend of how scary they are carry over to this day. Just ask any pre-teen around the first Friday the 13th of the year. 

I'm going to make this very simple. Leave me a comment with your email addy and you will be entered to win a copy of any of my backlist OR a copy of Valentine Master than releases July 25th!

Valentine Master: 

Heather’s marriage is on the rocks and she knows it. Since she told her husband, Mick, that she craved domination in the bedroom, he’s been secretive and strange, spending his evenings away from home. All Heather’s expecting as a Valentine’s Day surprise is divorce papers.

So when she comes home from work to find Mick randy and ready to go with a kinky box of tricks, Heather can hardly believe her luck. Mick has mastered his reluctance to dominate his wife – and now he’s going to master her.
