I am so happy to welcome Carly Jordynn today. She has a new book out called Sasha Bishop Retired Slayer which you can take a sneak peak at and also she is sharing how she prepares and spends that most wonderful time of the year, Christmas!
It’s
the Most Excellent Time of the Year
Yes, I am THAT
person. I’m that annoying person who has the Christmas countdown from 99 days
and down to THE DAY. I can’t help it, I love Christmas, the season, the meaning
behind it, the food, the gifts, the sharing, and the laughter.
The season kicks
in at Thanksgiving for me. Thanksgiving is a day to be grateful for all our
blessings, families, and friends. The biggest shopping day of the year follows
and then the Christmas season really gets going. There are parties to plan,
food to prepare or buy if you are like me, and presents to shop for. I love finding that special gift that
someone will just adore. I get excited seeing the joy on their faces. Don’t get
me wrong . . . I love the getting part too it’s just that I enjoy the giving
more.
Christmas is
also a very stressful time of year for all the reasons listed above. There is
an extra strain on finances. My day job has the end of the year crunch so
tension mounts daily to get all the work done. To add even more worry, try
being an author too. You have edits, blogs, writing, all in preparation for the
next book release. Lastly, let’s not forget about all the added activities for
the kids. By time New Year’s rolls around, I am ready for a mini-vacation.
By mid-January,
I’m back on my regular schedule and energized for all the possibilities and
opportunities the New Year has to offer. So, readers, I hope you have a joyous
Christmas season with your family and friends. By the way, books make a great
gift. Just saying. . .
An impending war and ineffectual Slayer has seventeen-year-old
Sasha, coming out of retirement. With her 167 year old vampire boyfriend, his
great-great-grandson, her Watcher, and a select group of vamps, Sasha faces the
monster behind the war, as well as, the battle for her heart.
BLURB
Seventeen-year-old
Sasha Bishop has done what no other Slayer has. She survived to the retirement
age of seventeen. Now she gets to move to a new city, start a new school during
her senior year, and she has to leave behind her 167 year old, semi-unofficial,
undead boyfriend, Hutch aka Andrew Hutcherson.
At her new
school, Sasha becomes friends with her handsome, motorcycle riding, neighbor,
Dillon Hutcherson, who bares an uncanny resemblance to Hutch. Sasha digs into
the mystery and finds that Hutch fathered a child before he was changed into a
vampire in 1865. Further research reveals that Dillon is, in fact, Hutch’s
great, great grandson. Now Sasha, with Dillon in tow, must return to her
hometown and resume her past duties as the Slayer in order to quell a vampire
uprising.
During the first
battle, a quirk of fate has Dillon changing into a vampire. Only the quick
action of Sasha’s Watcher, Branson Seyfried, saves the boy from becoming one of
the undead. A transfusion consisting of Hutch’s vampire venom and Sasha’s
slayer blood saves Dillon, but gives him the life of a Halfling. In addition,
Hutch now has slayer blood and Sasha has vampire venom. The three are not only
a danger to humans, but to vampire kind.
