Sloan McBride’s Tempting You

Posted on by

Oh how I have been waiting for this day to come. And now she is here! Sloan! *Moira waves fanatically* Can’t wait to continue following along on your blog tour. Thanks for making this one of your stops along the way.

Hi, All…..Day Two of my blog brings me by to see Moira Keith.  Thanks for having me, Moira.  It’s great to be here.

I love fall.  I really can’t say that enough….LOL  Burning leaves, bonfires, picking pumpkins, haunted hayrides.  What is there not to love?

Q:  You write paranormal romance.  Is there any type of paranormal you like more than the others?

A:   There are so many awesome things it’s hard to choose one favorite.  I think paranormal is pretty interesting stuff and it gets my imagination flowing.

Please tell me if you have a certain aspect of paranormal that you like to read about.  Remember, to enter for any of the prizes I’m giving away during my blog tour all you have to do is post a comment on the blog the day I am appearing there.  I will pick the winners and post the list on my blog November 1st.

TODAY’S PRIZE:    Free download of my debut novel “Highland Stone”

Getting Ready for Sloan~

Posted on by

Yes ladies and gents. Today Music Monday is taking a back seat in preparation for a lovely author who will be dropping by tomorrow! I am so very excited! Thought I would share her blurb with you before I posted our music for the day. Here we go~

From the Heavens comes a hero who will take your breath away.

Reese Whittaker dreams of falling for a man who shares her love of archeology and ancient civilizations. But being attacked by a horde of demons and rescued by a Sumerian God—a well-armed, gorgeous Sumerian God—opens up a whole new world she never knew existed. And awakens a mysterious power within her that attracts all kinds of supernatural attention.

Dagan, son of the Air-God Enlil and a Time Walker, is sworn to protect the human race in general, and one young woman in particular—Reese. He’s not the only one mysteriously attracted to her powerful life force. Underworld leader Kur craves it for the untold power it will give him to strike a blow at the deities of Dilmun.

Dagan is forbidden by law from interacting with Reese, but from the moment he sees her, the fury—an intense sexual need for bonding—blinds him to all the rules. Should the pantheon discover he has fallen for a human, the punishment could mean suffering beyond imagining for him…and death for her.

Must read right? Make sure you stop back by tomorrow to check out Sloan. If you want to get in on all the action you can pop on over to Nikki Duncan’s site.

Now we get to the music. Enjoy a little Savior by Rise Against. This song gets played at least once a day on my iPod.

I had serious password issues with Sprint and accessing my account online. It had been going on for over a month. My schedule typically does not seem to afford me the opportunity on a regular day to speak with tech support while they are open. So I have emailed and done the stupid chat sessions to no avail, even spoke to a Customer Service Rep on the phone who told me my security answer was right. So to give you a little background to my drama today, let me take you on a little journey….

I try logging in – failure. I select the forgot password option. Asks username. I know who I am… enter. What is your PIN number. Don’t know. What is the answer to your security question – Who is your favorite author? Oh I got this in the bag. Answer – Laurell K Hamilton. Incorrect. You have exceeded maximum attempts. Please contact tech support or click here for online chat. Click for online chat. It asks me for detailed description of problem (which I happily provide) and the PIN or answer to security question ( answer question) Customer Service Rep comes online. 

CSR: How can I help you today?

Me: I forgot my password and can’t reset it. (Didn’t you read the info prior to popping into this damn screen? Hell it’s right there at the top of the chat window.)

CSR: Enter your user name and click forgot password link so you can reset it.

Me: Um… did that already. Hence why I am here ‘chatting’ with you.

CSR: Can I have your username and I will look into it.

Me: Username.

CSR: Please wait a moment while I investigate.

*Here is where I really start to lose patience*

CSR: You have exceeded the maximum number of attemtps to login. I cannot access your information for thirty minutes.

*Silence*

Me: So you are telling me I have to wait thirty minutes to come back here and go through this with you or another rep when it doesn’t work? I’ve been dealing with this for a month now and have already called that number.

CSR: Call Tech Support

Me: Thanks

CSR: We value you as a Sprint customer. Please feel free to chat with us again regarding any issues you may have.

*Um… yeah cause this was soooooo successful.*

CSR: I know your time is valuable, is there anything else I can help you with today?

Me: Nope. Calling Tech Support. Again. Thanks.

CSR: You are welcome.

Okay… get the picture. Fun experience right? You feel as though you were there with me. I know you are feeling my pain. I called the number. Did not hear an option for technical support. But in defense of the telephone prompts, I will admit to already being irritated. I selected the option for other. Got a live person though. :) Who apologized. And apologized. And put me through to Tech Support which brings me to the reason for the post title….

Dear Heavy Breather @ Sprint Tech Support,

Having you aide me with my password issues was quite a pleasing experience. Nothing says customer care like the out of breath panting you shared with me. Just knowing that I can elicit that much breathing from a man across the tech support line puts a little pep in my step. Again, I thank you for assisting me with my password issues. You (and your labored breathing) are a godsend.

xoxoxo, Moira                                                           

Rain Makes Me Happy~

Posted on by

Oh there is nothing like a rainy day to fill me with the desire to write. To sit down with my laptop, open the patio door, and let the sounds provide the background music as my fingers fly over the keys.

Something about the rain that wakes my inner muse. Today is such a day. Let’s see what my muse does!

Special Treat~

Posted on by

Next week we will have a special treat! Sloan McBride will be stopping by for another special Temptation Tuesday. To wet your appetite a bit, I am posting her book trailer here. You know you wanna press play. Go on. Do it. I won’t tell.

Don’t forget to come back on Tuesday to learn more about Sloan! Oh and pop on over to her site and have a look around.

Two-fer ~

Posted on by

Ah yes, it has been quite awhile since I posted a little Humpday Hottie to aid in the midweek slump, so here we go. It’s a two-fer. These two drool worthy actors wooed me with their Irish accents over the weekend as I watched Boondock Saints and Boondock Saints II – All Saint’s Day. So without further adieu, here are Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery, who star as twin brothers Connor and Murphy MacManus in the films. Enjoy the goodness.

Until tomorrow I will empart the words recited by the brothers…

And Shepherds we shall be

For thee, my Lord, for thee.

Power hath descended forth from Thy hand

Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.

So we shall flow a river forth to Thee

And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.

No Mercy~

I love Sherrilyn Kenyon. She is an amazing writer and her Dark Hunters just pull you in. So obviously this story intrigues me and it is added to the Christmas wish list as my book budget has been in the red for some time now. Not that I am complaining, just wish I had more time to read the books I love and the money to satiate my appetite. Enjoy the trailer.

Crawl Back In~

Posted on by

I am in need of some serious motivation this week. This was working for me this morning. I love Dead By Sunrise and hope you all enjoy this late posting of Music Monday! I am off to work on some critiques, some outlining for the second book in my Moonlight Series, and corrections on a ya I am writing under a different pen name. See you all tomorrow with a Temptation Tuesday segment!
