Today’s post is one of many happening for
the Eternal Hope Blog Tour, but what makes it fun is that it’s scavenger hunt
style! What you get to do is run around the internet searching for hidden
words, filling out the below excerpt form!
I must say this is only the second
scavenger hunt style blog tour I’ve been a part of. I didn’t even know these existed until a short while ago.
Before we get to the fun, there are two
other blogs you need to check out today in order to find other words! Please
stop by Le Vanity Victorienne and Lunar Haven.
Remember, you’ll need to stop off at Lunar Haven to submit your completed form in order to be entered to win some AWESOME
prizes. There are just too many great ones to show here, but if you’d like to
take a gander you can check them out over at Juniper Grove Book Solutions.
You
can also find all the stops on the tour at Juniper Grove if you’re late to the
party and want to get in on the action!
Finally, without further adieu… Let me
present to you… Eternal Hope
He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me
When your friends go missing and you don’t know if they’re dead or alive; when you tie your soul to the one you love; when you kill to protect and your family suffers, there’s only one thing you can do:
Move to Montana.
Farley Hope is special. She was prophesied to kill the forebears of her bloodline- a race of cold-blooded Reavers, men who steal the souls of the living to gain power. The Quorum had counted on Farley ending her own life in the process, but when Kayden came to her aid and helped save both her and Daniel, he undid their plans. Now the Quorum are displeased, not only with Kayden, but with Farley and Daniel too. Though her father is now dead, Farley’s troubles with the Reavers are far from over. An ancient Immortal, trapped for a thousand years, wants Farley for himself, and he will stop at nothing to claim her.
With secrets that lead to anger and pain, that turn friendship to dust, the group must overcome the problems within their own circle before they have a hope of fighting off the powers that threaten their lives.

About the Author:
As a child, I was always accused of being
bookish because I wore glasses- big, horrible, ugly ones with too-thick lenses.
Those kids, the super smart ones who always know which tender insecurities to
poke at in order to provoke
life-long complexes, used to accuse me of reading too many books and that my eyes were going to rot out of my head (their words, not mine!)
The truth of the matter was a little more embarrassing: I used to sit too close to the T.V. That was the reason why I had to wear glasses, but kids don’t really care about small, insignificant details like the truth, and so I was labelled a nerd. The label kinda stuck, and after some sage advice from my awesome nana (nana, you rock!) I decided that if I was going to be abused for my supposed literary obsession, I might as well develop one.
I guess that’s how I got into books and reading at an early age. Since then, I’ve been ripping through books like they’re going out of fashion, which, thankfully, they’re not. Good thing, too, because I’m a writer now, and books are my business!
Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me on my journey- look for your names in the acknowledgements! And a big thank you to you, the reader. I hope you’ve fallen in love with Farley and Daniel just like I have, and that you’ll join them in the next book, Eternal Hope!

Super Special Excerpt
Farley felt her face redden, which was _________ inappropriate.
Daniel and Kayden were _______ she was watching, and for once their sparring
lacked the flashy showmanship they usually employed to _______ her. For the two
of them, nothing _______ beyond the dimly lit parameters of the hangar. Beyond
the lunge, beyond the parry, beyond the block.
This was how it would really go down, if they ever meant to do
serious harm to one _______. Movements fluid and graceful, there was _________
primal about their circling. Quick _______ of calculating eyes, green and blue,
preempting the other’s next move. Kayden’s hair was darkened with sweat, but
both their chests rose and fell with __________ regularity. In and out. Slow
and steady. The stern, focused expressions on their faces said ____ were in
total control.
Farley let the darkness wash over her and kept her presence hidden.
The confrontation was too ___________ to interrupt. Bare chests, muscled and
tanned; silver flashes of metal as their blades sang through the air. Even
Cliff would have been impressed. Farley bit her ______ lip as Kayden darted
_______ in a sure leap, thrusting out with deadly precision towards Daniel’s
throat.
The ______ would have been a killing blow. Would have been, if it
had even ______. Daniel sprang back and duck-rolled over the dusty floor,
crouching into a defensive pose. With his knife ________, his eyes lifted to
fix on Kayden, but they _____ quite made it.
Farley’s heart leapt to her throat. Those eyes, piercing and sharp,
fixed on her _______. She swallowed and braced against the wall behind her,
trying to camouflage with the _______. Kayden shifted forward, ready to take
_________ of Daniel’s distracted position, but the dark-haired boy simply lifted
his hand. A wordless gesture:
____.
Kayden stopped.
Robotically, Daniel rose, his _____ suddenly vanished, and dropped
the knife into the dirt. Kayden’s apparent confusion only lasted a second; the
moment he ________ it - that she was there - was _______. One second he was
________ Daniel’s creased brow, the next he had spun around impossibly quickly
and was staring, too. Blue and Green. Farley felt her throat closing up. She
opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out.
Daniel brushed a hand back through his slightly curling hair, his
face trained into a nothing __________. There was ______ he could do to hide
the war in his eyes, ______. “So you’re back.”
Silence flooded the hangar. Farley took a moment to _______,
pretending not to ______ Kayden’s fist clenching repeatedly ______ the handle
of his knife.
“Yes,” she whispered, her voice _______. “I guess I am.”
