Blog Tour: "Shadow of the Blood Moon" by Robin P. Waldrop (Guest Post/Giveaway)

A DAY IN ROBIN’S WRITING LIFE
I’m lounging on the upper deck of a large cruise ship,
little umbrella drink in my hand. Wearing my bikini and sunglasses, a constant
cool breeze keeping me cool as I do nothing, but relax.
I hear the sound of a horn honking and it continues to grow
louder. My eyes fly open, and it’s my lab barking to go out for his morning
constitution. Argh!
I look at the clock hanging on the bedroom wall. Five a.m.,
the same as every other morning. I roll out of bed and stretch. I could
probably stretch a mile, but don’t because I’d have to walk all the way back.
After I let the dogs out—yes, I have four—I grab a shower,
then head straight to the kitchen where I know my husband has a fresh pot of
coffee waiting. He loves me, what can I say. I tiptoe around because my
youngest daughter and granddaughter are still sleeping.
I watch the early morning news, then at six a.m. when my
hubby leaves for work, I grab my laptop and coffee, then head to the front
porch where I have a small card table set up. I live in the country so it’s
quiet and serene, until the neighbor’s rooster starts crowing. Some mornings he
starts crowing long before daylight. Those are the mornings I lie in bed and
think about knocking him off his roost.
I rake back my wet tangles, take a deep breath and open my
laptop. After I pull up the file I think, okay
where was Genevieve when I last saw her? Ah, yes, I remember. I scroll back
up the page a few paragraphs and read just to refresh my memory and get back in
my YA frame of mind.
I usually write until around eight when my granddaughter,
Ryleigh (nine months) wakes. Then, it’s put my writing on hold so I can change
and feed her. If her mom is off work I let her sleep. We play for a bit, she
eats a few dried Fruit Loops with me, and it’s nap time.
I get another hour to write—the phone rings. “What’s up?” It’s
my oldest daughter. All my kids know I do most of my writing during the day,
but especially early in the morning. While I’m on the phone with her, I keep
glancing at my time ticking away on
my pc.
When I finally convince her to let me call her later, I fix
another cup of coffee and sit back down. Only this time nothing happens. Come on, Genevieve. She doesn’t say a
word. Instead, she scowls at me, arms folded and tapping her foot. You know how
teens are. They think the world revolves around them. She’s punishing me for
making her put her story on hold.
I ignore her and attempt a light copy edit—the phone rings
again. “Hey, Mom.” It’s my next to youngest daughter. After watching even more
of my time tick away. I convince her
to call my oldest daughter where they can chat with each other.
I reheat my coffee and sit back down. Again. Are you over being mad, Genevieve? When
she turns her back and stomps off into the dark recesses of my mind, I take it
as a sure sign she’s angry. Please come
back. I’ll turn my ringer off. I promise, no more phone interruptions.
After several minutes of coaxing, I finally get her to come
back. just as we are ready to pick back up, I hear the muffled sounds of
Ryleigh crying.
I jump up and stick my head in the door. “Erin,” I yell.
“Wake up and get Ryleigh. I really need to write today.”
After two more times of opening the front door and yelling
at my youngest daughter to wake up, she finally does and the crying stops.
I sigh as I sit back down. Sorry, Genevieve. She is seething. You know how teens and young adults are. After all, you are one. DUH!
We argue a few minutes, then get back to work. I get lost in my writing and the
next thing I know it’s early afternoon. Time to grab a bite to eat, start the
laundry and start supper before getting on with the rest of my day.

Review - "Ties to the Blood Moon" by Robin P. Waldrop
Ties to the Blood Moon
by: Robin P. Waldrop
Publishing Date: 11/1/11
Source: Provided by Author
Genre: YA
Buy: Amazon or Barnes and Noble
Description:
Genevieve
is a teenage girl who moves in with her aunt in Alaska after the death
of her mother. Soon after her arrival she learns the things she was
raised to believe only existed in fairytales are in fact a big part of
her history. When it gets to be too much she seeks refuge in the arms
of her new boyfriend, William, only to find out he's not who she
thought he was either.
I
always love reading books from new authors that I haven't tried out
yet. I came across Robin P. Waldrop at Goodreads.com...which is my fave
site to be on. Once I read the description of "Ties of the Blood
Moon", I knew I had to see what it was all about.
First
off, this is my first book I've read that has it's location in Alaska.
Usually, when you read about Vampires it's in Louisiana or another
southern state (except for Twilight of course). Werewolves are usually
in northern Washington, Colorado, etc. It's time for a book to have
most of it's action in Alaska. One state I would love to visit.
Robin
P. Waldrop takes you into a different world of Werewolves and
Vampires. They work together, actually. Well...kind of. The
werewolves have been waiting for their princess to come back and take
the throne. ***That's a storyline never used before...and I really
enjoyed it***.
She throws in
twists and turns you weren't expecting...like the ending.
Really...Robin...that was not expected. I kept thinking other things,
but you really threw me off. Sorry, everyone I'm not spoiling anything
about this book. If you want to find out what Robin does, you need to
read it for yourself. I hate giving out spoilers.
Now
for one of the things that I wasn't really fond of...in the beginning
it just dragged on, with a love development story between the
characters. It did remind me a little bit about Twilight in the
beginning, but after awhile, it took it a different turn...which made me
like it again. Sometimes, having too much of a development of romance
in the characters and not enough action, makes me want to put down a
book and stop reading it. I can't stand heroines who also complain and
whine. Genevieve did irritate me in parts of the books, but that's
because she's a teenager. I remember being a teenager, but I'm glad I
didn't act like her in certain parts of the book when she gave her Aunt a
hard time.
I will say this,
Robin, definitely had me loving the characters, Joseph and Luna in the
book. I especially loved Joseph. There is just something about him, I
like better than William. Luna of course is an amazing friend to
Genevieve and I loved how Robin writes about the friendship between Luna
and Genevieve. You don't usually see that in books. You usually just
read about the romance, not friendship.
I
recommend this to anyone who loves a different twist to the
vampire/werewolf stories and who also loves twists and turns. You'll
definitely get a few "What the heck" and "No way" in this book.
Thank
you, Robin for giving me a chance to read/review your book. I look
forward to reading more about these characters and find out what their
next adventure is.
