If ever you’ve wished to have a sexy Spartan warrior at your beck and call, then Deidre Knight's Not-So-Flat Ajax contest (so named as a tribute to his, ahem, considerable assets) is your dream come true!
Ajax Petrakos, immortal Spartan warrior and hero of Deidre’s first Gods of Midnight novel, RED FIRE (Signet Eclipse, October 2008), has searched endlessly for Shayanna Angel, his soul-mate who was promised to him by the Oracle at Delphi 2,500 years ago. Ajax would do anything to locate this minx of a mortal, but he’s nearly lost faith that he will ever find her. Recently, rumors and rumblings are afoot that Shayanna has been spotted in modern-day U.S.A.
This is where you come in - your opportunity to assist a noble Spartan who has spent an eternity protecting you and all of humankind. Your mission is to take Ajax to a locale in your city (an historical site, a restaurant, the lake, your home), snap a photo of you and Ajax (keep it clean, ladies!), fill out the entry form on www.DeidreKnight.com, upload the photo and voilà - you’re entered to win a Nintendo© Wii or another great prize! Act quickly, because the first 100 entrants to upload their photos will receive a copy of RED FIRE.
Hello Friends,
I know it’s been awhile since I blogged, but now you can see what I’ve been working on! The first novel in my new GODS OF MIDNIGHT series, RED FIRE, will launch on October 7th. I can’t wait to introduce you to the seven immortal Spartan warriors who were granted immortality in exchange for protecting mankind from evil, including their number one nemesis, a powerful and crafty Persian Djinn.
Book One follows the journey of Ajax Petrakos. Check out the cover copy below for a sneak peak:
“Powerfully sensual and mind-blowing,” Deidre Knight’s novels have set the standard for boldly erotic paranormal romance. Now she unleashes an electrifying new series in which seven Spartan warriors, immortal protectors of humankind, battle their passions…a weakness that can only bring their downfall.
– Romance B(u)y the Book
Eternity has become a prison for Ajax Petrakos. Centuries after he and his Spartan brothers made their bargain for immortality, Ajax struggles to maintain his warrior’s discipline. His only source of strength is his hope that he will soon meet the woman once foretold to him—the other half of his soul, Shay Angel.
Ajax searches for Shay on the haunted streets of modern-day Savannah, but an ancient enemy has already found her. The youngest of a powerful demon-hunting clan, she can see the monsters that stalk the steamy southern night… an ability that draws the deadly attention of Ajax’s worst enemy.
As she and Ajax race to decipher the rest of the prophecy, a fated passion arises, threatening to sweep away everything in its path.
RED FIRE is currently available through presales on Amazon. Stay tuned for more tidbits about this thrilling new series, as well as some fantastic giveaways designed to stoke your “Spartan love!” In anticipation of RED FIRE’s release, I have launched a new message board. Hope you will swing by and check it out!
For those of you still hungering for more of my Midnight Warrior series (the PARALLEL books), I have a special announcement. Samhain Publishing has exclusively re-released PARALLEL FIRE, A MIDNIGHT WARRIOR’S NOVELLA. Previously, the book was only available in the United States and I’m so excited that all my worldwide fans will now have access to this steamy tale of Anna and Nevin becoming stranded in Yellowstone. Stranded and with a whole lot of time on their hot little hands, that is! Here is a link to the novella.
Check back soon for more updates on RED FIRE and the many other exciting projects we have on the horizon.
Best,
Deidre
I haven't seen 27 Dresses yet, but now I think I might rent it this weekend :)!! Let's see... I think one of my fave romantic scenes of all-time was when Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes's Romeo & Juliet characters spy each other through the aquarium. In the background Desiree sings "Kissing You." Ah...the memories.
Jia, it's really fun and very romantic (to me!) And oh my, watching that clip again just then, "the wind and the waterfall..." I mean who HASNT sung some made up lyric to that song??
D
I totally used to think she had "electric boobs". Nobody bothered to correct me either.
thanks everyone. lol.
In Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts' character gets caught kissing the sleeping Richard Gere... I think the kissing scene that follows is a great romantic moment.
On the other end of the spectrum, the kiss where Ennis threw Jack against the wall in Brokeback Mountain, was the hottest kiss ever!
Gwen, it's quite possible that I used to think it was electric boobs. Then again, I'm the one who never figured out that "lines on the mirror, lines on her face" in LIFE IN THE FAST LANE referred to coke. It's like my mind keeps filling in what it thought at ten! :)
And, oh yeah, Shayla. The Jack/Ennis kiss is one of the most passionate moments in any movie. Thanks for reminding me. :) Might need to highlight that one, and SO agree about PRETTY WOMAN which is probably #1 fave romantic movie moment of all time for me. :)
I have never seen this movie either....
Loved 27 Dresses!
I'd have to say that Love Actually is one of my favorite romantic movies of all time. There are so many scenes in it that are noteworthy (IMO). Among them the couples featured are the porn stand-ins. They chat it up while shotting and fall in love so sweetly. I keep wanting to share this movie with my daughter until I remember the, ahem, "action scenes". We'll have to wait a couple of years for that, lol.
Oh my gosh I LOVE this movie! I've been a James Marsden fan forever and was SO happy that he finally got a romantic lead role. (I was rooting for him in The Notebook.)
It's hard to pick my favorite romance movie but this is on the top of the lists.
On a side note, James Marsden was in a movie called "Interstate 60". If you haven't seen it, rent it or buy it or find it someway, it's really worth it. Great all around movie.
Loved the post Deirdre! :) Thanks!
