Dream Cast List: Match the Character To the Actor!

Back in the day, I kept a dedicated list of my favorite actors to play the main characters in the Of Witches and Warlocks (and now the Book of Shadows) series. This is that list! Can you match the character name with the actor I chose to play them? Each correct answer will be added to a drawing for a Mystery Prize. Who will win the final Game of Thrones Witches? #LetTheGamesBegin

Character Names:

1. Vance Mangum

2. Portia Mullins

3. Sean Mullins (Portia's Dad)

4. Damien Cummings (Vance's Dad)

5. Milly Mullins (Portia's Grandma)

6. Stacey Mullins (Portia's Mom)

7. Krista Mangum (Vance's Mom)

8. Brad Anderson (Vance & Portia's Bestfriend, Shelly's Boyfriend)

9. Shelly Fontane (Vance & Portia's Bestfriend, Brad's Girlfriend)

10. Hex/Hezikiah (Portia's Jinn Trainer/Step-Grandpa)

11. Douglas Cummings (Vance's Grandpa)

12. Fiona Cummings (Vance's Grandma)

13. Brian Fitzgerald (Douglas's Nephew)

14. Crispin (Friend of Sean/Leader of another coven)

15. Catriona Fitgerald (Brian's Mom)

16. Mayla (Bayou Demon Coven Leader)

Rules:

Match the character NAME to the corresponding LETTER. Example: Vance = (insert LETTER). DO NOT answer with Number = Letter. It makes them too difficult to check each answer. Credit won't be given if the answers aren't listed as (Character Name) = (Letter). Answers may be given on this post or any social media post where this game appears. HAVE FUN! 

NOTE: This game is part of the Of Witches ad Warlocks 10 Year Anniversary Celebration. You can read the story all over again in a whole new way with the entire series rewritten from Vance's point of view. There's a ton of never before seen material, insights, dialogue, chapters, scenes, etc. Don't miss out on all the fun and fall in love with Vance all over again in the brand new Book of Shadows series!

EXCERPT (Unedited):

Leaving my room, I stepped out into the hallway, looking both ways before stopping to stare at the open door to the attic. Goose bumps flared across my skin as I distinctly remembered closing the door after Seth and I had explored it. I was pretty sure no one had been up there since.

As if manipulated, my feet turned and moved toward the dark staircase, my heart pounding in my chest with every step. I briefly thought I should call my parents and have them come check with me, but when I tried to stop or open my mouth it was as if I had no control over myself.

Treading lightly, I made my way soundlessly up the wooden stairs, pausing at the top and looking around.

Moonlight filtered dimly into the space from the lace-covered windows, showing the area to look exactly as it had before, except the lid on the trunk I’d gone through was still open. I couldn’t remember if I closed it or not, but went to take care of it anyway.
Kneeling beside it, I brushed my hand lovingly over the fine, beautiful fabric of the dresses near the top. Again, I wondered whom they might have belonged to.

Skin prickling, I immediately had the feeling I was not alone. To my left was a soft stirring of light above my head and I gasped, shrinking away from it.

“They’re beautiful, aren’t they?” A musical female voice, with what I thought might be an Irish lilt, filled the air. “When I saw them I wished I could try them on.”

I was shaking. “Who’s there?” I called out in a harsh whisper, my mouth feeling dry.
Slowly, the light beside me began to grow brighter as it lengthened, until the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen—or rather her ghost—was standing before me.

Looking over her, I noted that she dissolved away into nothingness near her feet, and she was clearly see-through. But none of that did anything to diminish her looks.

“Who are you?” Even as I took in her white blonde hair, porcelain features and pale full lips, I was shaking. I’d never seen a ghost before, and to be honest, I hadn’t even really known if they actually existed. If there was one thing being a witch had taught me, though, it was to always have an open mind when it came to all things magical or otherworldly. I waited with bated breath...

SNEAK PEEK: COVEN!

Hey all! As many of you know, I have a new release coming up. Coven, the first book in my Of Witches and Demons series, is coming on April 12, 2015!! Woohoo!!

For those of you who are fans of my Of Witches and Warlocks series, Of Witches and Demons is the sequel series, and YES, Vance and Portia are returning as characters! BUT, if you haven’t read Of Witches and Warlocks, you can still read Coven/Of Witches and Demons and know what is going on.

So here is a never before seen SNEAK PEEK of Coven to tease you! Preorder links are listed below as well! 

Short description:

Born a witch.

Sheltered to learn control.

Now she's ready to have a "normal" life.

Too bad things don't always go as planned.

Excerpt (unedited):

“Who the hell is that?” Jett’s voice caused me to jump, since I hadn’t realized he was still here. Turning, I found him sitting against the wall just beyond the doors to the school. An angry expression was on his face, his mouth set in a hard line as he glared at me.

Glancing back to where my dad was taking off his motorcycle helmet, I watched as he smiled and waved at me. “You ready?” he shouted, and I nodded.

“Be right there. Give me one sec.” I glanced back to Jett, deciding this was just too good to pass up. “What’s it to you?”

“Well, for one, I thought you were dating Seth. You just gave me your big old high and mighty speech about two-timers and then this guy shows up.”

I shifted my books to one side as I stared at him. “Weren’t you the one who was trying to convince me that Seth and I didn’t need to be exclusive? So which is it? Am I to be loyal to Seth, or only loyal unless you are the one who wants a piece of me.”

“Who is this guy to you?” he practically growled at me.

“Why does it matter to you so much?”

Jett’s eyes glittered like ice. “Because I want to know who my competition is.”

“You have no competition because you’re not even in the running.” He was so dang pompous.

“Give me time. I’ll grow on you and then you’ll change your mind.”

“Don’t hold your breath.”

“I don’t need to. I’m confident in my ability to sway you.”

“Get lost, Jett.” I turned toward the motorcycle, tired of the conversation. It was like beating my head against a brick wall.

“With you? Happily.”

Glancing behind me, I saw him rising to follow me and I felt my pulse rate shoot up. I needed to keep him away from dad, just in case he could sense anything from him, but I didn’t know how to distract him. Before I could contemplate anymore, Jett moved right on past me, heading for my dad. I ran after him.

“Wait!” I called but it was too late.

“How do you know, Kenna?” Jett asked, his posture completely on the defensive.

My dad arched an eyebrow and glanced between the two of us. “What’s going on here?” he asked through our mental link.

“This guy is a friend of Seth’s, but he thinks I made the wrong choice. He wants me to date him instead. Now he thinks you’re competition as well.” I groaned. This was so embarrassing.

“I got this, sweetheart. Just play along.” Dad winked at me, before turning back to Jett. “I’m her boyfriend. What’s it to you?”

Oh dear sweet heaven above! “What are you doing? I practically screamed into my dad’s head. “Don’t stir the pot!”

He didn’t answer, simply staring at Jett who now had some sort of pained grin on his face as he turned to look at me. “You’re such a damn liar, you know that? A two faced, two timing liar.”

“Don’t you talk to her that way,” Dad said, swinging his leg off the still running bike and I groaned. I knew my dad. If he felt I was being threatened in anyway, he’d go ballistic.

“I’ll talk to the little cheat any way I want.”

“Stop it! Both of you!” I yelled, stepping between them. I stared at Jett. “He’s not my boyfriend, you ass. He’s my dad, and he was just testing you. I’m pretty sure you failed.”

Jett’s expression changed from one of anger to horror as he realized his mistake, but he immediately tried to recover. Holding out his hand, he spoke. “I’m Jett Blackstone. Nice to meet you sir.”

Dad just stared at Jett’s hand. “Sorry, kid. Too little, too late.”

Official Release Day! Of Witches and Warlocks: The Dark Rising!!

Official Release Day! Of Witches and Warlocks: The Dark Rising!!

That's right!! *The day is finally here!*  No more waiting around to find out what is going on in the world of Vance and Portia! No more frantic emails inquiring about the release date!  It's here and it's yours!  Here's the blurb, the teaser, and early reviews for your enjoyment!!  OH YEAH! There's a GIVEAWAY now too! :D

Official Blurb:
When Portia Mullins discovers the love of her life is still alive her heart soars. But reality sets in immediately causing it to plummet when she realizes he doesn’t remember his past life with her. Unwilling to give up, she embarks on a loving quest to restore his life to him.
Vance Mangum sees the beautiful girl claiming to be his wife, and while he can’t remember her, he can’t deny the intense pull he feels between them. Not knowing where else to turn, he agrees to give her the time she’s asked for and to assist her in the effort to recover his memories.
The two quickly reconnect, but dark surprises are lurking in the wings when Vance discovers a desperate longing for something he feels he can’t withstand. Will he be able to resist? Or will evil raise its head in a new form, leaving Portia as the prey of the very man her heart desires?
Darkness reigns supreme in this haunting tale of love and desperation, Of Witches and Warlocks, The Dark Rising.

Excerpt:
Before I could flip on the light, Vance suddenly grabbed me from behind, turning me to face him so he could kiss me again. I wrapped my arms around him and he pushed me backward, never breaking his kiss with me while he moved in the general direction of the door. My back hit the wall when we reached it, but he didn’t stop kissing me. His hands were everywhere, in my hair, on my face, down my body, around my waist.
I disconcertedly searched for the door behind me.
"I love you," he said to me in the darkness just as my hand found the knob, and I noticed his eyes were glowing again.
"I love you too," I replied, twisting the handle. The door popped open with abruptness and we fell though the opening together onto the kitchen floor.
I started laughing and he followed suit.
"Are you okay?" he asked, his body strewn out across the top of me.
"Yes," I replied in a fit of giggles. "Are you?"
"I’m feeling pretty good right about now," he said with his sexy grin smiling back at me.
Someone in the room cleared their throat. We both glanced up to find my dad standing over us with an amused look.
"It’s nice to see things are getting back to normal around here," he said. "Surely though, there are better places than the kitchen floor."
I must've blushed twelve shades of red and Vance quickly hopped off of me, unable to keep the laughter from spilling out of him. He reached a hand out, pulling me up behind him."I would say I’m sorry about that," Vance said, turning to my dad. "But I’m not." He pulled me up against him and kissed me lightly one more time before he reached out to smooth some of my tangled hair.
My dad smiled at us. "As weird as this may sound, I wasn’t unhappy to see it," he replied with a knowing look. 

Praise for The Dark Rising:

“Wow! What a trip this book was … a roller coaster ride of emotions, The Dark Rising turns out to be Vance and Portia's biggest challenge yet. There are so many twists and turns in this book, you will not be able to put in down! I'm not sure how much longer I can wait until I read the final book in this series!” ~Tishia Mackey, Paranormal Opinion

"Dark and deadly dangerous. This fourth installment in the fantastic Of Witches and Warlocks series is filled with love and passion and loyalty. Twists and turns abound, leading to a completely unexpected conclusion. I just couldn't put it down!" ~ Kim Deister, The Caffeinated Diva

“Once again, Lacey Weatherford has demonstrated her ability to craft a magnificent tale that is dark and dangerous, but filled with love and hope. Of Witches and Warlocks continues with The Dark Rising and Wow! You are not ready for this one! Hold on for the ride of your life! Wonderfully written. Couldn't put it down!” ~ Beverly Sharp, The Wormhole Book Blog

“Lacey Weatherford cast a spell on me ever since she penned The Trouble With Spells. The Dark Rising is about recovery, recollection and reconnection. There is heartbreak, hope, action, and blindsiding twists to satisfy any reader, but it is Weatherford's signature style of being such an unabashedly romantic that has me firmly attached and invested in these characters.” ~ Laurie Treacy, Reader Girls

"You can't help but fall in love with all the characters. There is this raw vitality in them that just appeals to us all! This epic journey is sure to leave you breathless and wondering when you decided to sit on this roller coaster of emotions!" - Sana Noor from Breathing Books

"Watch out world...while everyone has been giving gushy sighs over Edward and Jacob, a new hot bad boy has arrived on the scene. Be prepared to lose your heart all over again to the sexy confidence and swagger of Vance Mangum. If you love the romance of the Vampire Academy series, or the evil deliciousness of The Vampire Diaires, you do not want to miss The Dark Rising. This book takes the Of Witches and Warlocks series from AWESOME to EPIC!" Belinda Boring, The Bookish Snob & The Romance Reviews.
