Normally, I do a Teaser Tuesday to promote the newest book, War of Nytefall: Rivalry. Yet, it’s also my birthday and there’s no excerpt that I can pick to connect the two. That leaves me wondering what I should do since I don’t want them to come into conflict. Well, you can click on the link if you want to buy the eBook for $2.99. Ugh, I’m really not good at the promotions since most other authors would try to milk their birthday for sales.
How about a poem?
One more year alive
A day for cake and ice cream
Both at the same time
To be honest, I’m always awkward on my birthday. I don’t know what to do since I can’t do the parties one would get as a kid. I mean, pizza, arcade, bowling, roller skating, and all the fun stuff gets you weird looks when you’re in your 30’s. So, this might be the end of the post . . . Then again, can’t hurt to post the book blurb:
Seeking the pleasure of revenge, an ancient rumor will reveal herself to be a deadly legend
Lurking within the shadows for centuries, the Vampire Queen has been drawn to the conflict that surrounds Clyde. Only whispers have been spread about this elusive figure, who has amassed a kingdom that can rival Nyte and Nytefall. All that she is missing is the strongest vampire to crown as her king. In one fell swoop, she has taken the most powerful of her kind, including Clyde and Xavier Tempest. Hosting a tournament where the rules seem to change at her whim, the Vampire Queen threatens to shatter the already strained world that lurks beneath Windemere’s surface. Yet, there is more to her desires, which seep from a soul that is pulsing with fury. For her kingdom can never be complete until she holds the head of the one who wronged her centuries ago.
Can Mab stand against her ancient rival and save her monstrous partner?
I’m awkward at birthdays, too. You may not get an 8-year-old party, but can still do what you like to celebrate. 🎂

It’s going to be simple. Dinner with family and then resting after my son goes to bed.

Funny looks or not, if you want a bowling and arcade games pizza party with cake, I say go for it! Why should kids get to do all the fun stuff?
I just brought your book.
Happy birthday!

Don’t your vampires have what amounts to two birthdays? One for being born, and another for being turned? Might have made a neat post. At any rate, have a great day today.

Some day it that way. Most end up either picking one or making up a fake one.
