One Year Blogaversary & Giveaway!

Wow, I can’t believe this blog has been up and running for a whole year now and it almost passed me by. LoL When I first started RBtWBC I definitely didn’t foresee it going for more than a few months, let alone a year; or making such great blogging friends! I’m still amazed when I get comments on a post or when authors respond to a request to visit. It can get a little crazy busy sometimes but I hope you all have enjoyed the ride as much as I have! So true to my normal last minute fashion I've thrown together a lil' something to celebrate and I thought we’d do a little themed party with one of my favorite things to read about, HIGHLANDERS!!! Like my cake? 

I thought it would be fun for everyone to build their very own Highlander and those who do can enter to win a *signed* copy of Shadow Highlander by Donna Grant using the rafflecopter below, and I will ship this anywhere so no restrictions!

  • What's your Highlanders name? What does he look like? Does he wield a weapon? What kind? Is he a warrior or a laird? Is your Highlander part of a clan? What are his clan's colors? Does he have any tattoos? Supernatural powers? For bonus points you can post a picture of what your Highlander might look like on Reading Between the Wines FaceBook page!


Here's my guy:
Fabulous artwork by Pickyme

Declan MacLaren (His mother was Irish) Laird and Earl of Lochiel
6’5’’ with longish hair as black as midnight and deep blue eyes so dark they sometimes look black
Clan Arach with the seal of a dragon, clan colors are black and dark blue
Declan carries two broadswords strapped across his back
He is a dragon guardian and can communicate with them telepathically as well as call them to him when in need. He has clan tattoos representing! 
Seal


Shadow Highlander (Dark Sword, #5)The Prize: SIGNED COPY
Sent on a dangerous mission into the shadowy world of the Druids, Galen must find a powerful ancient relic to defeat the enemies of Castle MacLeod. But what he discovers is far more powerful—and far more dangerous. A Druid lass whose beauty is as spellbinding as any magic…
Reaghan is the most enchanting woman Galen has even met—and the most enigmatic. She alone is immune to his mind-reading gifts. He alone makes her feel safe and secure. But Reaghan holds a secret power deep inside her that could destroy them both. And if Galen hopes to hold this captivating woman in his arms every night, he must defeat the darkness that draws closer around her every day….
I will also throw in a special Highlander book thong to go with it from my etsy story, Dalla Luna Designs, and some swag!


So create your Highlander and go forth to enter! Rules & such are stated in the rafflecopter below, enter there!

  23. Oooooh, a highlander! Duncan is 6'4" and weighs 250 lbs, all muscle. His hair, which comes down to his mid back, is dark red that sparkles with blonde in the sunlight. He usually keeps it pulled back in a pony tail to keep it out of his face as he fights. This warrior carries a heavy sword to fight demons.

    Ok, so I'm not an author...but you get the gest...LOL!
