Happy Friday everyone!

Yes, it’s that time of week again where bloggers unite to participate in the Follow Friday venture. The idea behind #FF is to promote traffic to your own blog, make new friends with other like-minded bloggers and discuss new and interesting topics each week.

Participating is simple. First you need to follow my blog because I’m totally awesome, then you can follow me on Twitter @kristyberridge (actually you don’t have to do this, it’s wishful thinking), but do follow my blog or assassins will get you …

Then you must follow our illustrious hosts Rachel of http://www.parajunkee.com/ and Alison of http://www.alisoncanread.com/ If you want more details on how to enter your own blog in the follow and hop, all directions are on their webpages

Now, once you’ve followed, check out my answer to this week’s questions and don’t forget to leave a comment so I can do the right thing and follow you back!

This week's question: Worst cover? What is the worst cover of a book that you've read and loved?

My answer: This is easy - The bloody Twilight saga. I mean seriously, what the hell does a hand holding an apple have to do with Twilight (despite one fleeting moment where Edward kicks the crap out of one by the salad bar in the movie)? And for New Moon's book cover - a droopy flower? Then we have a cheap ass ribbon for Eclipse and chess pieces for Breaking Dawn.
I still shake my head at those covers - talk about a lazy graphic designer.

Anyway, since you're all over here nodding your heads in agreement, why don't you check out the competition I have running at the moment? Follow this link (click here) and it will take you to my "Damned good Giveaway". If you're not keen on the whole entering via photography, that is fine, you can still enter via raffle-copter and be in the chance to win, it's easy as!

Happy Friday!

Pre-release 'Damned' good giveaway!

Hey everyone! Well I have some exciting news for all you 'Hunted' fans out there. The release of The Damned is now imminent, the second and long-awaited book in The Hunted Series. Cover design is just finishing up and my Galley releases or ARC's (advanced reader copies) as some of you may know them, will be on my doorstep within a few weeks!
So what does this mean to you?
Well, what it means is that I want to give three lucky readers the opportunity to grab one of the these freshly printed, autographed paperback copies of The Damned to read in advance! Yes, you will get your copy weeks before anyone else will get their hot little hands on a purchasable book.
So how do you get one?
Easy. All you need to do is follow the Rafflecopter instructions at the bottom of the blog if you haven't already :D.
But, how I will draw the winners is entirely up to you. I am going for total global domination here, so think big! I want you all to take photos of the first book 'The Hunted' in creepy, horrifying, creative, and exciting places. Jump in the picture too if you don't mind your face on my blog, but the point is - post it everywhere! The most creative photos posted regularly where you tag me in are more likely to win - so get cracking.
I can't wait to see where The Hunted will show up next! Also, keep your eyes peeled on the blog, there will be some cover and synopsis revelations soon for The Damned ...

Kristy :)

This week's question: What would you do over if you were to start your blog again from scratch?

My answer: Nothing!! I freaking love my blog! So much so, I totally ignore my website which is super sad because nobody really plays with it anymore. But you can play with it if you want ... if it doesn't freak you out! Kidding, it's an author site - not "exorcisms are us".

Have a great weekend all, and don't forget to check back tomorrow night, I'm going to have an absolutely awesome competition starting for those of you that are fans of my 'Hunted Series'.
