A few months ago a very good fellow blogger friend of mine asked me if I would be interested in writing a guest blog for her site. All of August her site Literary Escapism is hosting a vast range of guests while Jackie is preparing for the arrival of her second baby! How could I say no? Literary Escapism is one of my favourite places to visit (when I have time) and never fails to help my wishlist grow! The only problem I had was just coming up with something to write about! At the time I wrote the article Eclipse was just about to be released in the cinema and TrueBlood had just started its third season. I got my inspiration one night while reading through some of the news about both of these paranormal delights and I hope you will enjoy my babblings :)
Head over and read the article over on Literary Escapism!
But wait!! I wanted to do a contest all Summer and this was the perfect opportunity! Contest Time
This is the prize:
- Mage in Black by Jaye Wells
- The Darkly Luminous Fight for Persephone Parker by Leanna Renee Hieber
- an ARC copy of Shadow Bound by Erin Kellison
- an ARC copy of Werewolf Smackdown by Maria Acevedo
- Stacey Kay cap with Undead Much? Logo
- 4 Harry Dresden badges
- Strangely Beautiful badge
- ‘What’s your sin’ armband (from Stacia Kane)
- Jeanne Stein pen
- Various bookmarks, postcards, leaflets and cover flats (as seen in photo) at least one of them is signed by the author…may add more!
This is a collection of bookish things I have been gathering for a while! Everyone has three chances to get their name in the drawing.
For leaving a comment here, answering the question: Who is your favorite paranormal television show and/or movie character?

Also share this event on your blog, social network, or anywhere you can. Digg it, stumble it, twit it, share it with the world. Wherever you share it, make sure you add a link to it along with your answer.
The contest is open internationally but seeing as I am in Austria there may be a slight delay for any US winner due to the postage time.
I will also offer a second prize – three books, my choice, from the books I have read in the last month – if there are over 100 entries between LE and Amberkatze (not counting entries for sharing the contest). So spread the word!
Contest entry ends on September 2nd!!!

Good luck to Jackie and the baby!!!

I'm totally in love with Stefan from Vampire Diaries and Eric Northman from True Blood. Such nummy men.
My favorite paranormal TV show characters are Alcide and Jessica from True Blood. I think she's a great new addition to the Sookieverse and he's just plain gorgeous. =)
I adore Eric from True Blood! Yummy.
Thanks for hosting. Please enter me.

I love the character of Pam from the True Blood series.
My favorite character is Barnabas Collins from the original Dark Shadows
Hey Amber,
Great contest and I look forward to checking out the other sight as well.
As to the question, It is Eric Northman from TrueBlood. He is ever so tall, yummy and what's not to love about a viking/vampire!

I posted at these two sites. My favorite character is Castiel from Supernatural. Sexy angel .
I have a great big soft spot for Willow from Buffy, I think she's very cool and I would love to be able to control a computer like she can!
My favorite character is Zander from Buffy. I think it would be hard to be the only normal human surrounded by people who can do amazing things and you are constantly getting beat up but he retains his sense of humor through it all.
HI!i know this is totally unoriginal but my favorite tv paramormal show is The Vampire Diaries it's to die for.
What a wonderful giveaway! Thank you. My favorite paranormal movie Poltergeist.

Angel will always be my favorite. He's the epitome of the tortured hero.
jen at delux dot com
hmm its between Angel and Mick St.John from Moonlight - they are similar in SO many ways but Alex O'laughlin play Mick...and he's an Aussie!! :D
The psychic that Katie brings in the Paranormal Activity.
There are so many great choices that I'm just going to go with the one that seems the most original: Roxy Wasserman from the (sadly canceled) Middleman TV Show. The show itself is more superhero than paranormal, but Roxy is (mostly) reformed succubus turned fashion designer, so she definitely counts!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.c
From the past, I would say mulder from the x-files, and for now, it would be walter bishop from fringe. I really like how they address all of his issues, and how he really contributes to the show.
twoofakind12@yahoo.com
I am a follower. I would have say Angel was also my favorite from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Besides being very handsome, he was trying to make up for all the wrong he did as a vampire. He had a soul. I adore him. Tore923@aol.com
My favorite paranormal TV show is Supernatural, and my favorite character is Angel from Buffy, and of course, the Winchester boys:)
Thanks for the chance!

Forgot to add that I posted at Literary Escapism.
My favorite tv character is Damon from Vampire Diaries. But from an older show it would be Angel.
My favorite paranormal character would have to be Spike. I really like how they developed his character from the evil monster that he was, to the good he then began to do.

Thanks for the contest.

My old-school favourite would be Charmed, i still love this program and i plan to re-watch a whole load of them on my next week off. My new favourite is Supernatural, even if it does give me nightmares :)
I would have to say Dean Winchester from Supernatural. Or Castiel. xD
I would have to say Rachel Morgan from Kim Harrison's Hollows series is my favorite paranormal character.
I would have to go with Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood.

Favourite Paranormal Series show Character - Det. Sara 'Pez' Pezzini from Witchblade
twitted here: http://twitter.com/wyvernfriend/status/22122231009
My favorite paranormal TV show would have to be either Angel or Buffy. I love them both.
My favorite character is Angel. I don't think anyone could ever beat him!
I just noticed that someone else posted on this contest using "JenM", but she must not be using that on GFC. Now I don't know what to do. Does this mean I'm going to have to change my GFC identity? I checked LE and she didn't post there, so please give me the credit for that post, not her.

I have to say my favorite character is Eric from True Blood. Mmm..
I would have to say that my favorite character from a paranormal TV show would be Dean Winchester from Supernatural. And not just because he is an amazingly handsome man, but also because he works so hard to kill monsters and save people, despite everything he's had to sacrifice. He never gives up when it comes to the hunt, and that's what I love about him. He always get the badies!
From a paranormal movie, I'd have to say is Caleb Danvers from The Covenant. His unbreakable spirit is amazing to watch.
A runner up would have to be Vicki Nelsen from Blood Ties. The show didn't last very long, but for all her flaws Vicki was an amazing person.

I just love Damon from Vampire Diaries he is a bad and good guy love the show can't until it comes back :)

My favorite characters are:
Damon from The Vampire Diaries and Sam and Dean from supernatural.
I have loved Damon since the books first was published, I remember that here in Denmark they would only translate the first two books at the time and I was a little to young to read english.
I don't remember how many times I would write to the company and beg them to translate the others but they never answered.
Today they can not get them translated fast enough;-)

my favorite paranormal TV show is Fringe... or Heroes - I can't decide *g*

I have to say that True Blood is my favorite show and Eclipse and Avatar my favorite movies in the genre.
TB is the first to do something where the actors are treating it like any other subject matter. And it has enough $ behind it that it doesn't look like a half a&&ed production on SyFy.
Of Twilight movies in Eclipse they really upped the quality of the photography and the acting and the makeup.
Avatar was a great story from a fantasy and Sci Fi perspective and technically was amazing.

I love hottie vampire Eric on True Blood! Thanks.
I really enjoy the true blood and the vampire diaries tv series.. and the twilight series movies. While they do deviate from the main book series they are still quite enjoyable.. I really would like more book series to be made into either series or movies.. wishful thinking i guess :)
Thanks again for the contest!
Eric from True Blood, followed closely by Sam.

I posted a comment on Literary escapism.
I just loooooove Alcide from True Blood. Whooo-hooo! Much sexier than the vamps!
I adore Eric from True Blood!
mightynaynay(at)cs.com
my favorite would HAVE to be Dresden fro the Dresden files. not nearly as epic as the books, but still an amazing character!
On the small screen it would be Mick St. John from Moonlight. But if I could choose from books like some other commenters did, I'd choose Harry Dresden because he seems like the kind of guy I'd enjoy just hanging around with.
Eric from True blood-thanks!
I used to love Fear, but I am not sure it is on any longer.
