Darkness Embraced - Giveaway.

I'm doing a giveaway of a signed paperback copy of Darkness Embraced: A Rosso Lussuria Vampire Novel. I stated in my previous post that I'd be doing the giveaway on Facebook, but have recently discovered you're actually not supposed to do giveaways there. Strange, I know, but ah well. It's just as easy to do it here. :)

So, here's how this works: At the end of this post I'll post a question. In order to enter the giveaway, comment with an answer (and your name, if you're posting as anonymous). A winner will be chosen in a random drawing (based on entry, not answer to the question). I'm going to let this giveaway run for a few of days (maybe a week) and will announce the winner in a separate post. Note: If you don't see a post announcing a winner, then the giveaway is still a go and open to entries.

In keeping with the nature of my previous post -- If you could willfully choose to be any kind of were-animal, what would you be and why?

***Notice***

As of May, since I've received so many entries for this giveaway -- I thought I'd offer up a second book and extend this contest. :) Though the first book giveaway has officially closed, all those who previously entered (aside from the previous winner) and any new entries will be entered into the new drawing that I will perform on the weekend of May 14th. I'll announce the winner in the comments section of this post.

    Answer: My choice is simple; were cat. As a cat lover, and follower of the Shifters series, that's my choice.

    If I could be a were-animal I'd choose to change into a hawk. I would love to glide through the air with my super senses at work. Oh, to feel such power...

    I would choose a were-jaguar. To me they are the ultimate predator and they work alone. A beautiful creature as well.

    Wow hard choice but I think I'd have to go with werewolf as I feel more closely connected to the wolf than other animals ;0).

    Winter, thank you for having a give away! =) I am excited to see what happens next when Bloody Claws comes out in January (Too far away still).

    At first, I was going to say some sort of were-cat. Then I got to thinking, so I am going to choose wolves. They are so loyal to their packs in the wild, that is how I view myself with family and friends. They tend to stick close to home, they are creative, intelligent, and will endure hardship with such a strong sense of will and a timeless beauty, I find it hard to describe.

    Wow I have so many different choices for different reasons running thru my head. I guess I love cats but I would want to be a wolf. Loyal protective loving and deadly all in one fluffy package. I would be rubbed and caressed all day and get to RUN at night with the wind in my fur...great!!!

    Gee, that's a tough one. I guess I would say a squirrel because they always seems so busy and happy (and sometimes a little agitated) and have such wonderful interactions with their extended squirrelly family members. Now everybody knows why I wander around my 10 acre walnut orchard with binoculars in my hands!

    werecat, I have no doubt about that.
    I don't think I could ever find another animal that suits me best.

    I'd have to keep it traditional; a Werewolf. I love how they are powerful and graceful and loyal to their pack and partner for life (well wolves are any way).
    It may be a lame pick, but it is what I am sticking to!

    I think I would be a crow. They are ubiquitous, thus it would be easy to blend in, and smart. Here in Japan they are one of the Gods' messengers.

    Werebear, maybe a polar. Their strong talented animals that get to have arctic foxes following them around. Plus who in their right minds would mess with the world’s largest land predator.

    A Were-Leopard. Why? I could be part of the Pard that Anita Blake Vampire Hunter is Nimir-Ra of. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else if I were a Were-animal. Anita is the best.

    I would be a wolf. They are stealthy, fierce, beautiful and smart. They also mate for life. And Winter, when you posted that test on Facebook I was a wolf first and a wild dog second.
