Witch Blood, by Anya Bast
A water witch, Isabelle Novak has always led a chaotic, nomadic existence. But her life spins out of control when her sister—her only friend and emotional anchor — is killed by a demon. Driven by grief and a desire for revenge, she turns her back on the Coven and the rede they hold sacred: Harm thee none…
When Isabelle first encounters Thomas Monahan, she’s running on pure rage and sorrow, channeling her pain into power — and trying to freeze the life out of a warlock she holds responsible for her sister’s death. Together, they form an uneasy alliance to hunt and destroy a demon of tremendous power. As head of the Coven, earth witch Thomas must thwart Isabelle’s dark impulses, but his very presence stirs deeper desires she never knew she had…

If you were going to write a novel, what would it be about?
My answer: Ha. I’ll skip this one.
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
i think i could write a really interesting novel about a lady, with a very uneventful life, raising 3 children-living on a farm-helping her parents-knitting and reading all the time who………..wakes up one morning and the kids are grown, life has gone on–the farm is self sustaining, and she is………….HOLY CRAP–OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(where did her youth go? where did her trim body go? her energy and vitality?) is this a new chapter in her life—or is she just old as dirt? dammit !!!!!!
by JACKIE YOUNG October 6th, 2008 at 2:18 amLOL Jackie!
by Natasha Armstrong October 6th, 2008 at 4:54 amI don’t think I have the imagination to be able to right. I am a very analytical person. I could probably right a how to manual or something like that 🙂
And I have horrible grammatical/wrong use of the word problems 😀 lol Like above where I wrote right instead of write 😉
by Natasha Armstrong October 6th, 2008 at 4:55 amI’m actually in the process of trying to write a vamp novel or novella with a shocking ending 🙂
by crystal adkins October 6th, 2008 at 4:55 amMy novel would be about the privateer in my ancestry. 😀
by Mel K. October 6th, 2008 at 5:54 amI would probably write a paranormal.
by CrystalGB October 6th, 2008 at 6:15 amsuperheroes haven’t seen many of those.
by Pamk October 6th, 2008 at 6:17 amWhen I finally decide to write, I have a plan to do one non-fiction–an autobiography detailing my life and my family history, and then some fiction stories–supernatural (wolf or vamp) romance series.
by Preye October 6th, 2008 at 7:03 amI’d write about my dreams. They sure can be crazy enough. 🙂
by Lyda October 6th, 2008 at 7:23 amIf I could write a book, which I can’t, I would have an immortal for the hero and a witch as the heroine. Since I don’t have the talent to be a writer, I became a great reader and enjoy my free hours with a book in my hands.
Please do not enter me in this drawing as I am fortunate enough to have this book in my personal library already…terrific reading.
by Shari C October 6th, 2008 at 7:30 amI’d write what I read, which is romance. And since my imagination is not that good, paranormal is out of question. Maybe contemporary about an overwork auditor, which similar to my real life.
by May B. October 6th, 2008 at 7:53 amGood morning Anya,
I think I admire authors of Fiction & more specifically Romance b/c I have no strength here. No imagination, but I do love to immerse myself in an authors story.
So, if I had to write something it would be a how to/what not to do on Customer Service more specifically for Small Businesses. It is a “bone of contention with me”.
Have a great day,

I dont think I could write a novel, but I think I would write an erotic paranormal romance, since those are my favorite to read. vampire and shapeshifters.
by sara hurt October 6th, 2008 at 7:59 ameeeekkkkk…. 😮
I wouldn’t–I know my limitations!
by azteclady October 6th, 2008 at 8:13 amI would write about my life and all the craziness I seem to attract! It would be a comedy!
by Darby Lohrding October 6th, 2008 at 8:22 amThanks for asking and please enter me for this book!!!

Writing a novel? O_O Wow – well I’m going with a cop out answer 😉 – a true historical event that not many people know about that’s interesting 😛
by limecello October 6th, 2008 at 8:28 amMuch like the story behind [The] Changeling. (Although that’s a movie…)
I think if I was going to write it would have to be about cat shape shifters.
by Larena Wirum October 6th, 2008 at 8:32 amI will write books for kids one day, based on the stories my five year old tells me. She has a great one about the astronaut who went into space, got turned around and came back in the time of dinosaurs. Makes friends with a T Rex and they live happily ever after. I will, of course, pad it with extra schtuff..or it will be a very short book.
by -V- October 6th, 2008 at 8:35 amI would write an erotic Regency loosely based on the old Hellfire Club where a Duke involved is actually a secret agent for the Prime Minister. I haven’t figured out who gets rescued yet. 😀
by DonnaB October 6th, 2008 at 9:16 amoooo – this is a good question – I’d love to write a suspense series aimed at the teenage reader!
by Lynn S October 6th, 2008 at 9:45 amIf I could write, sinceI know I can’t, I’d write steaming hot erotic romance.
by VampFanGirl October 6th, 2008 at 9:59 amMy story would be a romance… the woman would have to choose between twin brothers and hopes she makes the correct choice. 🙂
by Colleen October 6th, 2008 at 10:03 amIt would be a romance with a good grovel scene from the hero! I love those parts 🙂
by Allison October 6th, 2008 at 10:05 amI’ve been working on various stories that never seem to get finished. But I’d like to write a story that’s in the country, about a young woman starting over. Something in her past that makes her move to this small country town. She finds love, etc. It’s still a work in progress, lol.
by Alanna October 6th, 2008 at 10:51 amOk, DO’NT enter me in the contest since…SQUEEEEEEEEE…I already have this and *G* know hot darn HOT Thomas is!!
Just had to post a note for anyone that hasn’t…..you’re in for a real treat with “Witch Blood” !!!!
😆

Love the sound of Witch Blood.
As a non writer I wouldn’t actually write a novel, but if I could it would be about Alien romance (a la beauty and the beast LOL)
by Ilona October 6th, 2008 at 12:23 pmIf I wrote a book, it would have to be a comedy about my three ring circus life!
by Estella October 6th, 2008 at 12:46 pmsomething in the paranormal romance genre, about vampires or shapeshifters most likely.
by becky October 6th, 2008 at 1:49 pmIf I could write, I’d want to write a high fantasy novel. If for some reason I couldn’t write in that genre, paranormal romantic suspense would be my next choice.
by Stacie Mc October 6th, 2008 at 1:49 pmSomething historical maybe – set in Sicily since that where my ancestors are from.
by catslady October 6th, 2008 at 2:01 pmIf I was creative enough to be a writer, I would like to write paranormals.
by Lilly K October 6th, 2008 at 2:17 pmOh, this one is easy! I would write romantic suspense with paranormal elements. I love the paranormal genre in all its various forms. *G*
Hugs,
Maithe
by Maithe October 6th, 2008 at 2:38 pmI would write an erotic Vampire tale. I seem to have a thing for Vampires and would probably enjoy writing about one.
by Mary Kirkland October 6th, 2008 at 3:00 pmthe twisted life associated with the carnival industry, the local girls that chase the carnival worker guys, the drama associated with the work. I have even thought of a title…. As the Big Wheel Spins.
by Dianna F October 6th, 2008 at 3:36 pmWith my miserable 14 years of marriage it would have to do something with that. Worse than that The Diary of a Mad Housewife movie.
by Tamara Bennington October 6th, 2008 at 4:22 pmI would most likely be about shifters probably feline in nature and would definitely involve 2…3…4 hot heroes and one very happy heroine…..
by Michelle B. October 6th, 2008 at 4:37 pma story that revolves around a quilt. possibly paranormal
by Virginia Hendricks October 6th, 2008 at 5:06 pmI’d write a tell all biography. I would need to be a ghost writer, because nothing worth writing about has happened in my own life. 😉
by Sue A. October 6th, 2008 at 6:49 pmHmmm. I’d like to write a novel about a female backstage technician- perhaps the director of the house, with a heroine who is a performer coming through. Throw in a slight mystery plot, and see where things go.
by JC October 6th, 2008 at 6:50 pmIf I wrote a novel it would have to be on time travel with a hint of paranormal.
by ann marie October 6th, 2008 at 6:59 pmI have a variety of book ideas-everything from erotica to adolescent fiction. I think if I were to attempt both, I would need to write under different names-so have like two personalities!!
by Jen October 6th, 2008 at 7:51 pmMy erotica would include women with men and other women, maybe the joys of self discovery, as well.
There are so many topics that could be covered under adolescent fiction. I have a vampire story I started when I was a teen myself, but it seems that is all that is put out for teens now, and it would look like I was band-wagoning! I think also just trials and tribulations of growing up as a teen in general, but would obviously provide some conflict, such as an alcoholic boyfriend, or a friend who cuts herself…Again, lots of ideas…
Who Knows-maybe someday I will actually sit down and finish one!

I honestly do not know what I would write that would not sound derivative. I am in awe at how different authors take the same elements (whitches/shifters/vampires)and create completely unique worlds.
