Hi Laura! Love...Hi Gloria! Thanks for hopping by! <br /><br />Hi Laura! Love your avatar. I'm living in Kansas right now so I can appreciate it. As for having breast cancer as a part of the story, my mother-in-law is a survivor. So in a way, it's a tribute to her strength as she underwent chemo and radiation. She's a survivor, thank goodness, and everyday my husband and I say our blessings that our children are able to know her. So yes, having breast cancer as a subject matter in my book has special meaning. Thanks for asking. :)Ashley Lynn Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885942475571501556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-7263130391210702042011-10-24T23:00:16.966-02:002011-10-24T23:00:16.966-02:00Thanks for the giveaway and for participating in t...Thanks for the giveaway and for participating in this blog hop! <br /><br />+1 Already follow via GFC - MamaHendo3<br />+1 Vampires dead?

I'd have to say my vamp sandwich would be Bones from the Night Huntress Series in back and Eric Northman from the Sookie Stackhouse series in front.

I love the idea of a gal with cancer getting a second chance on life and love. My question is (if its not a secret) what kind of demi god Justin is? I noticed that he could control the sea.<br />As to vampires? No, as long as we have good imaginations, none of the supernaturals including demi-gods will be dead. We read to get away from reality and that will feed the need.<br />Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!<br />sundee94@comcast.netSophia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389029835067242765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-66847576438456208922011-10-18T19:07:15.956-02:002011-10-18T19:07:15.956-02:00Hi Amanda!

The way Barbara used the wings in that book made me blush and swoon. It was very sexy. I enjoyed the angel aspect of it so much that as soon as I’m done with Jeaniene Frost’s “Night Huntress Series,” I’m planning on starting on J.R. Wards “Fallen Angels Series.” So I'd have to say angels are my new fav, but that may change next month if I happen to read a good zombie or demon book. ;)<br /> <br />@Desi – Thanks for dropping by!Ashley Lynn Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885942475571501556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-61645578776396863372011-10-18T01:57:31.616-02:002011-10-18T01:57:31.616-02:00i m a follower and vamp are not dead to many g...i m a follower and vamp are not dead to many gbook are coming out and they have different kind of vamp that live among the living desitheblonde@msn.com i follow you for good read and then face bookdesitheblondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146001799371317795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-33870438004526962422011-10-18T01:21:34.061-02:002011-10-18T01:21:34.061-02:00+1 Vampires are not dead.

That’s a great question, and you’re one of the first to ask it. :) My MIL had breast cancer about nine years ago. It was stage two, and she had the cancer removed along with having chemo and radiation. That time was very difficult for her, but she handled it with true grace. My character Mandy dealt with the cancer by cocooning herself into a life that consisted of only family and close friends. The book starts less than a year after her diagnosis, and I did that so that I could show her character arc as she learns to be confidant, scars and all, and as she learns to trust again after being hurt by her ex-fiancé. I also included healing through having her reach out to others with cancer. It’s common to wonder “why me” when you’re going through so much turmoil and not even sure if you’ll survive. Having peers who have dealt with the same emotions can go a long way in making you understand that you’re not alone and that your feelings are normal. I think it’s great that you were there for your friend, Darcy, through a very hard time, and I hope that she was able to work through her emotions.Ashley Lynn Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885942475571501556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-91650973653838961222011-10-17T21:57:59.312-02:002011-10-17T21:57:59.312-02:00It think vampires will always be around in literat...It think vampires will always be around in literature, and as long as they are I'll be reading them...*S* especially love and romance...*S*<br />Ashley,<br />What inspired you to make your main character deal with breast cancer?
