• While the cat’s away….


    You know the saying, right?

    Hey, everyone, Emma Martin here. Lynn writes about me in the Violet Night Trilogy.

    To be honest, I’m getting a little nervous as release day for Violet Midnight approaches. October 15th seems so far away…yet not.

    But anyway, back to the title of this post. . .

    Lynn’s off to RomCon **waves** so I’ve decided to hijack the blog. And I figured since she’s away, busy hanging with all the awesome readers up in Colorado, I’d do a little giveaway.

    I mean, why not? She’s not around to say anything…

    So, here’s the scoop (Rafflecopter is the bomb)

    a Rafflecopter giveaway

    Stay tuned tomorrow I have a Four-Word Interview for ya…I’ve got some awesome characters–er–people lined up. It’s hard to think of myself as a character in a book, you know? I mean, I’m real. The Vamp bite on my wrist is STILL healing to prove it. **And no, you can’t change into a Vamp by being bitten…Thank GOD!

    See you all tomorrow!

  • Musical Monday–Emma Style


    Hey, everyone. Emma Martin, here.

    I convinced Lynn to let me host the blog this week! No special reason–okay, I lie–there’s totally a special reason….She finished my third book.

    Yep. Violet Storm is done. Sure, it’s just a rough draft, but hey, three books about little ‘ol me–I’m stoked.

    Anyway… she said I could host the blog to help celebrate since it’s one of my favorite things to do. I’m actually considering starting my own. . . but we’ll see.

    Okay, on to the song. Now, I know Lynn likes P!nk, but the songs she likes are pretty old. This new one, Raise Your Glass, is awesome. Sure, there are a couple swear words but the energy that oozes off of the song ROCKS. It just gets me pumped up to go out and kick some demon a–*cough*butt.

    Plus I can kind of relate when P!nk talks about underdogs and freaks. I’m pretty much both…I mean, purple eyes, a tattoo that glows and burns like the fire of Hades near demons . . . .

    Anyway, here you go. Hope you enjoy.

    What songs are rockin’ your world right now? What gets you pumped up and ready to jump out on the dance floor?

  • 2010 starts off with a bang.


    HI. Emma Martin here. You don’t know me, because I haven’t been asked to host the blog yet like some of Lynn’s other characters. What’s up with that anyway, Lynn?

    Nevermind.

    When Lynn got some fantastic news about her novel, Violet Midnight, I demanded I make the announcement on the blog. I mean, it’s a book about ME, so it’s only fair, right?

    She’s already plastered it over Facebook and Twitter, so you probably know already, but at least I get to tell you more of the details.

    Back on November 8th, 2009, Lynn decided to enter my story in a contest called Write Your Name Across The Sky, sponsored by The Book Boost. I thought it’d be cool because I like how she told my story.

    So, on Sunday, Lynn was just sitting in her little office, working on her other book, Guardian. It was requested by an editor on Friday, so she was doing a read-through because she’s anal like that.

    Anyway, an email from The Book Boost popped into her inbox. She snatched up the laptop and ran out to her hubby. I tagged along, so I saw the entire thing go down.

    They sat on the couch while Lynn clicked the link to the results. I thought her chest would explode she sucked in such a deep breath. So did her hubby. He’s such a cutie (sorry, Lynn, had to say it–you know it’s true).

    Okay, back to the story.

    Lynn scrolled down and just under the First Prize badge, it said, “Violet Midnight, by Lynn Rush.” Then it had her picture and a short bio of her.

    I flopped to my knees, dumbfounded at the fact that my story would be published. People might buy my story and learn about my crazy, demon-fighting life.

    Seriously.

    Both Lynn and her hubby didn’t believe it at first. I knew right away it was true, but they doubted. Especially Lynn. She had to email a couple people to have them read the link to see if that’s what it really and truly said.

    It did.

    She’d won first prize in the contest—a publishing contract and a year of promotion!

    So, the year has truly started out with a bang for Lynn. New job, winning a contract, and getting a full request for Guardian from an editor.

    Thanks for letting me stop by and share the news, Lynn. I’m so excited Violet Midnight won.
