30 Day Song Challenge, Day 12
Well, I am now officially waiting to find out Hurricane Irene is going to hit us this week in SF and decided to go ahead and get some blogging done to try and get a couple posts scheduled for publishing over the next couple of days just in case. Today, I wanna go ahead and talk 30 Day Song Challenge!
Day 12 asks for a song that reminds you of your parent/parents. One song immediately came to mind. (Well, actually two! But this category was on another version of the challenge so I decided to use the new option.)
This song makes me think of my mom for a few reasons. One... Bon Jovi was her favorite band. Even as our relationship changed and got more difficult, that band was one thing we could agree on! Musical really does connect people and can transcend differences. We'd put the tapes on in the car and she even took me to see them live a couple of times. Secondly, this song was one she considered her song to me. She even got me to sing it with her in one of the kareoke booths at a local carnival when I was a kid. So what song would you pick for this? Comment back and let me know!
Before I sign out for the day, I wanna remind y'all of two contests I have going on right now. One is the Heather Hildenbrand giveaway where you can get a free copy of her ebook Dirty Blood. Another is the Levi Lowrey challenge. Be sure to enter asap.... time's running out!

30 Day Song Challenge! Day 10 (Madonna... Plus Heather Hildenbrand giveaway)
So, today's category for the 30 Day Song Challenge is your favorite song from a movie. After considering several songs (I loved the Dirty Dancing Sountrack as a whole and Nightmare on Elm Street also has some great music), I decided to go with this one. It's from the movie At Close Range and, according to the wiki page, was originally written for another film.
While I never actually saw this movie, this song is one of my childhood favorites and I decided to go ahead and add it. I think it's one of the best songs that Madonna has ever recorded and love the haunting sound and lyrics. What do you guys think? Do you like this one? What song would you have chosen? Comment back and let me know.
Before I head out, don't forget about the ebook giveaway I'm doing for Dirty Blood. Check yesterday's post for details about how you can win a free copy.

The Unveiling..... Heather Hildenbrand
Hey everyone.... So, Heather Hildenbrand, who wrote the book Across the Galaxy, has another title out called Dirty Blood. It's got a brand new cover and Heather is letting me reveal it here to celebrate! She's also letting me run a giveaway where someone will win a free e-copy of her book. Stay tuned for details about that later tonight or tomorrow. Before I reveal the cover (as well as a special message from Heather and info about where you can get your own copy), Here's a little teaser about the book. Enjoy!
I killed a girl last night. I did it with my bare hands and an old piece of pipe I found lying next to the dumpster. But that’s not the part that got me. The part that scared me, the part I can’t seem to wrap my head around and still has me reeling, was that when she charged me, her body shifted – and then she was a wolf. All snapping teeth and extended claws. But by the time I stood over her lifeless body, she was a girl again. That’s about the time I went into shock… And that was the moment he showed up.
Now, all I can do is accept the truths that are staring me in the face. One, Werewolves do exist. And two, I was born to kill them.
Dirty Blood is now available as an ebook on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords and other major ebook retail outlets for just $0.99! Also available in paperback from Amazon or CreateSpace for $11 plus shipping, or visit her website at www.heatherhildenbrand.blogspot.com for more information or to order a signed copy.
A note from Heather: Thanks so much for all the support from readers and fans that have already made this book a huge success for me. I hope you love the new cover just as much as I do! As a thank you, I’m offering a giveaway! A free ebook (format of your choice) to a lucky winner. Also, thanks to my bloggers for helping to reveal the new cover in style! I couldn’t do this without you!
Be sure to check in with my blog for the cover reveal of Book 2: Cold Blood, which is scheduled for unveiling in September. Cold Blood is due to release in November. Thanks for stopping by!

Heather Hildenbrand Q&A
And now, we get to the final post for Across the Galaxy: A Q&A with Heather. Enjoy and feel free to post any other questions you may have...
What inspired the story?
I know it sounds cliche, but it was a dream, actually. In the dream an alien boy came to earth to save the girl from murderers. he flew her back to their planet (he had angel-like wings). Obviously the story changed once I began writing it. =)
Who would you say is your favorite character in it?
I like Ben and even thought about doing a sequel, all about him. I understand him really well and I think it would be fun to write him. He's young and he's got alot of growing up to do so he would grow alot as a character.
Tell me a little bit about your writing process.
Quiet and solitude are key! Both of my kids started full day school this year so every morning after I drop them off, I come back and surf the net for about an hour and stalk my email and amazon sales, and then I turn off the net and all the noise and get in the zone and just write.
Of all the books you've read, have there been any that made you say "I wish I wrote that!"? If so, which one and why?
Sleight by Jennifer Sommersby. I wish I had her way with words.
What author would you say has most influenced your own writing?
Richelle Mead, Alyson Noel, Stephanie Meyer, and P.C. Cast. I like their character "voice" in their series. Its true to a teen, entertaining, and unique.
Can you tell us anything about any future projects you have in store?I'm currently working on Cold Blood, the sequel to Dirty Blood, my YA paranormal romance that just came out earlier this month. Its got werewolves, hot ones, an egotistical ex boyfriend, and a couple of psychos. Good stuff.
