Carmel, thank you so much for having me here today, and for offering to debut my latest book trailer, which is a little different from most. One of the things people enjoyed most at the launch party for Sins of the Angels last fall was my reading of an excerpt. They told me they loved hearing the story the way I heard it in my own head. I’ll be doing another reading for the Sins of the Son launch coming up in a couple of week–but as much as I wish all my readers could be there, logistically that’s just not possible. This video is my solution.
I’d come across the idea of video author readings a few times, but while the idea of sharing a part of my story in this way appealed, I couldn’t think of anything more boring for viewers than three or four minutes of a camera focused on me reading. Then my husband came up with the idea of setting the reading to a trailer-type format. My voice, but way more interesting imagery. I liked the idea–and I hope you will, too. 🙂

Out of the stories I’ve read so far with angels, Daniel from the Fallen Angel series is my favorite. I really haven’t read too many stories that have angels, fallen or otherwise, in them.

My favorite is David Borneaz (I know I spelled it wrong) from Angel. Yeah, ok, so he’s a vampire BUT I did make the connection to an Angel right? lol
Can’t wait to read the book.

My favorite angel is Daniel from Fallen.
Janne.Cha@gmail.com
I never was a big fan of angels… for exemple = I am really nervous from Daniel, which was in Fallen. But when I have to really choose somebody… Patch from Hush Hush is fine 🙂
sima.burcikova@gmail.com
Metraton from Dogma. It’s Alan Rickman as the voice of God. Nothing else needs to be said. Lol.
wingedpersephone at gmail dot com
i think my favorite angel is raphael from nalini singh’s guild hunter series. thanks for the giveaway1
twee66 at gmail dot com
I also stalk him by religiously watching Bones. He is still incredibly hot.@Carmel @ Rabid Reads
I just started reading the Infernal Devices Series and I can’t pick between David and Will, although not sure they are angels in reality or not. Still great characters.
Also like Biblical Gabriel.
I have to say m y fav Angel is Archangel Gabriel. I don’t know why he just is..
o and my e-mail is vampirecartia203@yahoo.com
I don’t know of too many Angels.. being non-religious, I wouldn’t go for biblical, and I’ve not come across many fictional Angels.
Hoping this will change that!

My favourite angel would have to be the Archangel Gabriel because my late grandfater’s name was Gabriel. I think I’m more attracted to the name than the actual angel, being not too religious.
I will have to read more angel novels to find a fictional favourite. Awesome giveaway!
stephanieleroux (at) hotmail (dot) com
I haven’t come across many Angels to be honest… I’ve always been into YA and historical romance, recently I’m trying new things so I’m hoping this might change things 🙂
Thank you for the giveaway!
sweetiee.gal (at) hotmail (dot) com
Can my favorite angel be Angel; you know from Buffy? LOL of course if I have to take a more serious turn, I want Gabriel watching over me! Thank you for sharing with us and for the awesome giveaway opportunity.
