What better way to start the New Year than with a serious Rebel Vampires giveaway?
9 authors – myself included, of course – have come together to sponsor a $225 Amazon Gift Card to the winner. The giveaway runs this week. Click here to enter.
And what better way to kick off 2017? Blood Shackles has already broken into two Bestsellerlists…and swaggered its way next to one my favourite authors: Anne Rice.
There’s magic in a name. The giving of it. Knowing of it. Taking it from someone.
If you could be rechristened into a glorious dark new world, what name would you choose?
‘We have the name they wetted us with when we wailed all bloody from the womb but we also get the one we select, when the blood elects us from the ranks into something else. Me? I chose Light…it wove me to the best of my First Life and everything I never wanted to lose.’ (Blood Dragons)
In Rebel Vampires, which has been compared by both readers and critics to ‘Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles’, every Blood Lifer name has a story behind it: Light, Ruby, Alessandro and Hartford…
And that’s the contest in the Bloody Big Giveaway this weekend. For the chance to win my brand new release Blood Shackles: a gripping dark fantasy, which puts a new twist on vampires, paranormal London and secret conspiracies, decide on your alter ego vampire name. Then click here and post it in the comments.

The Lampshade Reader: Vampires, Romance and Rebels – Or How to Train a Slave. To read it click here. Some fantastic comments and chat with readers.
Ever wondered what Light’s favourite drink, music or phrase was? Or what his human name once was? Find the answers in Blood Lifer Character Profiles on Andra’s Unabridged blog here.
Light’s a Londoner. Born a Victorian. But drawn to the 1960’s, when he felt most free. Want to know how to talk like him? Peepers, Starkers and Bint – The One Minute Guide To Talking Like Light. See The Voluptuous Book Diva here.
Writers. Myth goes we’re a solitary bunch. Hermit-like hunched over our manuscripts. Emerging only at book launches. As Light would say, ‘Bollocks‘. Without a reader, books are merely words on a page. There’s no emotion. No connection. And no point.
Tomorrow my month long book tour kicks off. It’s a way for me – here in Oxford, England – to connect with readers all around the world. To chat, discuss and hand out exclusive sneak peeks. Blood Shackles is released on 1st November. To pre-order it now click here.
There’s going to be giveaways (the chance to win $50 Amazon card), reviews, interviews and excerpts.
Then there’s the guest blogs… Here’s a little taste: ‘The Soundtrack of My Blood Life,’ ‘Inside the Mind of a Slave,’ and ‘How to Cook Like a Vampire.’ Intrigued? Come on, that last one..? Diamond, seriously.

But the real secret to a good blog tour becoming great? I could’ve written War and Peace but it wouldn’t matter. If none of you folks turned up, shared, liked, commented and turned it from an event into an event.

The contest ends on Bonfire Night – or in other words: ‘Remember, remember the fifth of
November’. And although there’s no gunpowder, there’s plenty of treason, plot and thrills in Blood Shackles. And Light – he was never frightened to look into the flames…
