Okay, now I know I promised to remain more up to date in here, but I have been desperately trying to get my first book of the first ever series from Emma Anderson completed. Now that I have accomplished that I thought I might share a little about the characters who appear in this series.

The Fall of the Horsemen of Sin City (working title)
The characters are loosely based around the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (mainly their backstories).
Devil (Death) is a vampire who only understands the negative emotions in life. He's a man who speaks with his fists, and isn't afraid to take a life if he believes they are deserving.
Gabby is his mate. She's a human who wants what most girls want, a loving, caring relationship. Early in their relationship, Devil warns her that that wasn't possible. He experiences no such emotions.
Viper (Conquest-book 2) is a Fae who loves women. He's not ready to settle down, there are too many women out there for him to enjoy. But no matter how much he fights it, Fate has other plans for him. As a fighter, he is aptly named. He strikes his victims before most of them are even aware of the danger they are in.
Judge (War-book 3) is a mountain lion shifter who flirts with anything in a skirt. His easy going personality is a front for the Alpha within him. He sets the rules and expects them to be followed to the letter. When he first met Gabby, he was disappointed that she wasn't his mate. He saw a strength in her that was well suited to his position as Alpha of the local mountain lion pride. But have no fear, his mate is close by, ready to steal his heart.
Chaos (Famine-book 4) is a warlock who has found his mate already, but has yet to claim her. In his opinion she's still too young to handle the likes of him. He's the chef at the Hotel/Casino that the brother's in arms own. In his profession, he creates havoc with people's tastebuds. With his moods, he creates havoc all around. His huge frame carries great strength and power. Nothing compared to his tiny human mate. For her sake, he waits. But has he waited too long?

Sorry, but I can't give too much about the other three mates away. You'll just have to read the first book to see if there are any clues as to who they may be. (Note: not even the brothers know who Chaos's mate is, though each one of them have their suspicions).

Please note, from the 15th Nov I won't be around too much. My family and I are going on holiday. But hopefully when I return I will have some news on Devil Takes His Innocent (book 1 of the series).

A big thank you to Hennessee Andrews for organising such an amazing blog hop. I also want to send out huge hugs of appreciation to all of those who participated, authors and readers alike.

Now the lucky winner of the KitchenAid mixer was Flutterfli Carol Reads. Happy baking!

As for the two $5 Amazon gift cards up for grabs on for anyone who commented on my blog, the winners are....

Drum roll please!

Amy Bowens and Shadow. Congratulations to you both. Keep an eye on your inbox, the vouchers will be with you soon.

The competition and blog are now closed. Thank you all for sharing your ideas on possible Alpha shifters. You came up with some amazing ideas. The draw for the two $5 Amazon gift cards will take place tomorrow when my boys return from their sleepover. Each will be pulling one name out of a hat. Good luck to everyone who entered.

Welcome everyone! Who's interested in some prizes?

I have two $5 Amazon gift vouchers to give away. To win one simply tell me which mythological creature you would like to read about. (Hint, the more unusual the better, though it must still possess the qualities we all like our Alpha male characters to have. A goldfish or guinea pig just somehow won't cut it!) Leave your ideas in the comment section below.

Now check out this little beauty. This KitchenAid mixer is the grand prize and very simple to win.

While you're exploring the amazing authors featured on this blog hop, and looking for your next ebook escape, don't forget to stop by our Facebook pages and like us. (Here's a link to my Facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/emmaanderson.writer ) The rules and links to all the featured authors are below, but first let me share a well loved Aussie recipe.

ANZAC Biscuits

125g butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon hot water
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup flour

Melt butter and golden syrup in a pan large enough to hold all the ingredients. Cool slightly.
Dissolve baking soda and add to the pan with the dried ingredients. Mix well.
Place rounded teaspoonsful of mixture on a greased oven tray. Allow room to spread.
Bake at 180 degrees C for 15 minutes or until golden.

Why not enjoy a couple of biscuits while becoming absorbed in my latest book, Refusing His Second Chance?

Why did the constant rejection of a man she barely knew hurt so much?
Allie Fisher’s a successful author and radio show host. So much so, she’s gained herself a stalker. Her life’s turned upside down when she meets Margo. With their new blossoming friendship came a heartache Allie never knew was possible.
Parker Winston’s a 543 year old vampire. He’s had a mate and lost her. He has no room in his heart for anyone else. Even another mate. When he meets his sister’s new friend, he immediately knows she’s his second chance. To preserve his memory of his first mate, he takes what he needs from Allie but offers nothing of himself in return. By the time he realises that there’s enough room in his heart for two, it may be too late.
Can Parker convince Allie of his true feelings for her? Or will her stalker deny him the opportunity by taking her from him permanently.

Now for the rules. 
1. Have fun and hop in to visit the fabulous authors and bloggers on the LinkyList. Each and everyone is hosting their own giveaway, so you have oodles of chances to win something great while you find your next book boyfriend.
2. You need to leave your email. How can we contact you if you win?
3. Earn entries for the grand prize by stopping by and liking us on Facebook. 
4. On US residents can the win the mixer. So sorry. The thing weighs over 30+ pounds. Shipping would be enormous. In the event the Rafflecopter chooses someone outside the US, the prize will be a $100 Amazon gift card. Not too shabby. Think of all the books!
5. The grand prize is not transferable and no cash will be given instead of the mixer.
6. Don't forget to have fun and take the time to visit others on this hop. Who knows, they may just hold the book that you've been looking for. 

Look what I'm taking part in between 3rd and 10th October. Make sure you pop over and see me. I'll be giving away an Amazon gift voucher.

My good friend, Bellann Summer has a new book that's out on pre-order. Check it out!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't been around lately. I have been busy writing. I have started my first ménage book. Hopefully soon you'll get to meet the feisty vet who is willing to take on rare twin shifters. The only problem is that one of them is preparing to leave, for his mate and brother's sake. What can I say, he's a stubborn male who believes he's right. It's a good thing his mate and brother are just as stubborn. Watch out for Denying Her Alpha Mates. I'm hoping to have it finished soon.

And on some more exciting news, I have also started my first series. The working title is The Fall of the Players of Sin City. At this stage I have five books mapped out. They involve vampires and mountain lion shifters. The first book is currently called The Devil Takes His Innocent. Keep watching for more information as I post it.

And I promise to visit my blog a lot more now. The truth is, this blog thing scares the poopy out of me, but I will persevere.

Speak to you all soon,

Hugs,

Emma.
