I’m thrilled to have a wonderful guest today: Cynthia Eden. She’s an amazing writer and an even better friend. She’s so much fun, she should be illegal in at least 39 states. Her books are always a good read and I think she likes Halloween almost as much as I do. ALMOST!
Thanks for coming by Cynthia. AND for sharing this wicked cool cover of your latest book with us. 
CYNTHIA:
Haunting Time
Happy Halloween, everyone! Well, okay, *almost* Halloween. I am so counting down the days until we get to our spookiest night of the year. I love the thrills and chills that come with the approach of Halloween. Since I am a paranormal romance junkie, it seems like Halloween was made just for folks like me. Folks who enjoy a good scare. Folks who like to imagine there is more to this world than meets the eye.
Folks who like a bit of a monster in their men. 😉
When I write and read romances, I like to have heroes with supernatural powers. Guys who can howl at the moon or guys who get stronger when they have a nice bit of blood to drink. Sure, maybe these fellows are on the “darker” side with their dangerous and deadly selves, but to me, that’s just fun.
I always root for the supernatural heroes. I want them to save the day, get the girl, and still have time to howl at the moon. Hey, all in a day’s work, right? When I think of some of my favorite supernatural heroes, these guys spring to mind…
Mick St. Johnfrom Moonlight. (Why, oh, why was that show canceled?)
Dracula from…um, any Dracula movie. (Yes, I always root for Dracula.)
Michael from the Underworld movies. (Yay for vampire/werewolf hybrids!)
Hellboy from Hellboy (Because who says you can’t be a giant, red devil and be sexy? Huh, who?)
And, of course (always!) Spike from Buffy.
Who are your favorite supernatural heroes? Please share! One random commenter will win a Cynthia Eden book of his/her choice. Thanks for checking out my post! (And thanks so much to my lovely hostess for having me over.)

Oooh…I love the cover! I will have to read this when it comes out. My favorite supernatural hero? I love Van Helsing, or shall I say I love Hugh Jackman playing Van Helsing!
Have a great day.

love me some supernatural!! My love affair for the supernatural started in High School when I discovered twilight and has continued since. I do love jacob but edward will always hold a special place in my heart. I have no idea why Moonlight was canceled I loved that show Mick St. John is sizzling he definitely had the potential to over take edward if the show had stayed on. I love the buffy shows and watch them any time i get. i have even read them! I alway rute for dracula because he was my first vamp love 😉 My first werwolf love was derick form kelly armstrong but the best supernatural writer that make the best vampire, werewolves, and deamons is CYNTHIA EDEN my first and formost FAVORITE AND ANINSPIRING AUTHOR!

Hi, Alexis!! Can I just say…thank you!!! You are so awesome. 🙂 I think Mick would have totally ruled if he’d stayed on. Oh, how I miss him!

I do love Angel but Spike will always hold a special place in my heart 🙂 I have NO idea why Moonlight was canceled I loved that show Mick St. John is sizzling he definitely had the potential to over take Spike if the show had stayed on. I never thought I’d say this but I’m warming up to Damen from the Vampire Diaries I just love a bad boy who attempts to reform. Monsters Rock!!
By: Miranda on October 20, 2011

Miranda, Spike is tops in my heart too (I loved Angel…until Spike came along!). I haven’t watched the Vampire Dairies yet, but now you have me wanting to tune in!

I have a few heroes that I love. Batman and Superman(especially the new one-Henry Cavil). I also love Bones from Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress Series, Cain from Bound in Darkness, and Edward from Twilight. There are many others but those are some of my favorites. Bound in Darkness is the first book I have read by Cynthia, but will not be my last. I would love to check out the other books of this series, and do see that she has some other books out.
Thanks for the giveaway and the chance to win.

Hi, Chris! I’m so glad you were able to read Bound In Darkness–I had a great time writing that story! Thanks for entering the giveaway!

Humm..my favorites supernatural heroes have to be:
1. Angel from Buffy, why because he is a vamp with a soul =)
2. Lucian from underworld
3. Louis from Interview with a vampire, what can I say its Brad Pitt!
and finally a non-hero that could have turned good maybe someday
Sylar from heroes, I know he was the bad guy but he was just misunderstood……

I am so glad you mentioned Sylar!! I felt the same way about him!

Hey Cynthia! Hey Jillian! 😀
I hope your both having a lovely day.
My favorite supernatural heroes would have to be: (sorry but your getting a list lol )
– Ric Van Holtz from BIG BAD BEAST by Shelly Laurenston because he just reminds me of his cousin, Van, and how he never gives up on winning Dee Ann Smith’s affection and love. Plus it’s funny when he goes OCD in the kitchen xD
– Sarah Dearly from Immortality Bites by Michelle Rowen because no matter what she always bounces back and is always trying to prove that she can be a vampire with a normal life and that she can have a relationship with Thierry. Plus it’s a really funny book 🙂
– Lucas Simone from Never Cry Wolf by Cynthia Eden because he is such a strong man and he is what I think is a real man, someone tough and strong and just hot! It was great to see how he and his brother where getting on after what happened with Maya and the born master and everything.
They are my top 3 favourite supernatural heroes and I do hope what I have written is okay.

I LOVED Mick St. John. Still do. I have the DVD’s of Moonlight and just watched an episode last night. Sigh.
That cover for Angel of Darkness is hot, Cynthia. I love the light shining down on him through the clouds. Very evocative.

Niol Lapen from Cynthia Eden’s Midnight’s master :), hmm tv wise I’d have say Ian Somerhalder (damon salvatore) from the Vampire diaries. Lucian from underworld, and I love Human Torch (Johnny Storm), Chris Evans. I love them all but they top my list.
Love the cover to your new book can’t wait for it to come out!!!

You had me at “Michael”! I am also partial to Stuart Townsend as LeStat in Queen of the Damned, Brad Pitt as Louis in Interview With a Vampire, Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I haven’t really watched True Blood, or Vampire Diaries but I’ve watched pretty much every vampire or werewolf movie I can get my hands on.
By: Lora Patten on October 20, 2011
at 12:20 pm
LOL, Michael rocks! And, Lora, I came late to True Blood (picked up in season 3), but I am now totally addicted.
By: Cynthia Eden on October 20, 2011
at 5:54 pm
Looking forward to Angel of Darkness! I’m going with Angel from Buffy, pretty much because he’s just HOT!
By: Casey Crow on October 20, 2011
at 12:56 pm
He is!!! But I think Spike is hotter–hey, we can have a Spike vs. Angel battle!
By: Cynthia Eden on October 20, 2011

Jillian, thank you so much for having me over today!!

First I have to say I LOVE Spike. Angel was way too angsty, but if supernatural extends to the wizarding world I have to put my vote in for my favorite Gingers The Weasleys. specifically Ron and Fred & George. Fun post and comments
By: Darlene Henderson on October 20, 2011
at 1:36 pm
I knew you’d pick those twins. Lol
By: Jillian Chantal on October 20, 2011

Those Weasley boys are fun!
By: Cynthia Eden on October 20, 2011
at 5:54 pm
Love Spike more than Angel actually… Spike is just so much funnier… and I love his sarcasm and bad boy manners. 🙂
Michael from Underworld is hot too… So is Eric from True Blood…
By: May Pau on October 20, 2011
at 2:50 pm
I thought Spike was so funny, too! Love a bad guy with good humor. 🙂

Jude from Eternal Hunter, he was my first Cynthia Eden book; Dmitri from Archangel’s Blade, Nalini Singh, what a bad boy.
By: Diane on October 20, 2011

My personal pics would be – t.v. – Sam & Dean Winchester from Supernatural! I am also a HUGE fan of Mick St. John! He may not be a vamp anymore, but at least we can still see him on tv. 😉
And Jace Vaughn – Bound By Blood by Cynthia, he is such an Alpha Wolf!
By: TinaB on October 20, 2011
at 9:39 pm
Oh, Tina, I am a huge Dean fangirl. Can’t get enough of those brothers! I am also very glad to hear that you enjoyed Jace–thank you!
