What a great contest! I've heard of Ms. Parrish but not read her books yet. Answers:
by1.Halloween is not my fave holiday - I like New Years - clean slate/fresh start and all (plus fireworks!).
2.Favorite RS author right now is Rachel Vincent (her shifter series).
3.Fave internet thing - reading blogs and googling stuff.
4.Hate scary movies. Can't remember the first scary movie I ever saw but the stupidest was Pumpkinhead.
5.I started reading romances about a year ago - after reading the Twilight series.
6.Probably my husband, too.
7.Diet Coke and Cadbury Eggs!
1. Halloween isn't so big in Germany so I think my favorite is Ascension Day. I don't know if this is just a big thing in Germany but here it's also called Men's Day. Typically the men go around and have fun with bbq, boat or bike trips. We always do this together with girls and all.It's fun to see all the friends again and have a fun day.
by2. I haven't read so much romantic suspense. But my favorite is Drop Dead Gorgeous by Linda Howard. I don't know if this counts as suspense?
3. Twitter and blogging I think.
4. I love these movies. My first one was The Evil Dead.
5. Early 2008 and it was J.R. Ward's Dark Lover.
6. Not sure how to answer that. I always think of someone else. But sure my boyfriend ;-)
7. Cigarettes and dry read wine.
That was fun. Thanks or the contest.
How fun!! I'm seeing the name Leslie Parrish all over the place and hearing great things about these books! :)
by1. We love Halloween!!! My youngest is 15 so we don't go trick or treating anymore. My hubby and kids design a graveyard in the front yard each year and we hand out candy. We have chili and snack type foods and we either watch hockey or I put in The Wizard of Oz and watch that!!
2. I've actually not read very many romantic suspense books....I'm drawing a blank right now!
3. I love to blog!
4. No I don't like scary movies and the first and only one I willing watched was Halloween!
5. I was married with 1 child when I read my first romance and it was something by Danielle Steele....don't remember the title!
6. My hubby!
7. Chocolate and Dr. Pepper!
I love this. It's so much more fun.
by1.I love to decorate. The scarier the better. And candy , so much candy that it's so hard to resist.
2.I have to say J.D. Robb and Suzanne Brockman
3. Blogging and twittering.
4. The first scary movie was Friday the 13th. We lived down the road from the theatre and me and my best friend had to walk home.
5. I was 16. And it was my moms. I believe it was Jude Devereux.It was the Montgomery series.
6.My boyfriend most of the time.
7.Dove chocolate squares and Rte 44 Sweet tea from sonic.
1. I love the joy my youngest gets from picking out his costume and walking the neighborhood with his daddy then coming home to see what goodies he got while out. I’m also a monster fan, so the month long Horror Fest on the movie channels is a nice perk to the holiday as well.
by2. I’m just getting into the romantic suspense genre, so I don’t have a favorite yet, though I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until I do. I’m always open to suggestions. :)
3. I’m a blog hopping, twitter addicted internet lover, though I must confess that I mostly read blogs and rarely comment. I also spend far too much time on IMDB.
4. I LOVE scary movies. Can never get enough of the monsters and aliens featured in them. The first one I recall watching was An American Werewolf in London at the drive in. Should I admit that I was only 5 at the time? And that I saw most of the movie through either my fingers or my dad’s?
5. I was late coming into romance. I read more ghost stories and books about sharks than anything else until I was 22, and my mom gave me a romance novel she happened to have an extra copy of. I’ve been hooked ever since.
6. I’ll have to go with my husband. He restored my faith in love. He taught me that love at first sight can happen and that there really is another half to a person hidden out there in the world somewhere. He completes me as no other ever could or ever will again.
7. I’m totally addicted to Dr. Pepper or Cherry Dr. Pepper along with orange flavored Hostess cupcakes. I also have no self control when it comes to a 3 Musketeers candy bar, no will power whatsoever where those are concerned.
1. Halloween is not my favorite holiday, but I really enjoy it. I love to see the children in their costumes. What can't you like when you get free chocolate!!
by2.My favorite RS author would be Lisa Jackson.
3. Visiting author's websites and now the blogs. You can learn alot from blogging.
4. I like scary movies, but I am a scardy cat. The older I get, the less I can watch them. It is also hard anymore to find a good one.
5.I didn't start reading romance until I was in my early twenties. The book was by Jude Devereaux and I am not sure of the title. I still read her books!!
6.I would have to go with my DH. He isn't real romantic, but he does just fine:)
7.Chocolate is my greatest pleasure. Your flavored coffee comes in at a close second.
I really enjoyed this little contest and of course would love to win this Black Cat series by Leslie Parrish. Thanks for the opportunity.
Love Love this contest. Please count me in.
by1. I love watching chick flicks (total opposite) and pigging out on M&M's that day. It's my only excuse to eat chocolate :)
2. Under fire by Jo Davis
3. I like blogging and ranting online. It's a place where you can express your thoughts and emotions. Ooh and Huluing. Best site created.
4. I don't particularly like scary movies. Other than SAW, I can't stand scary movies.
5. I started reading romance in High School. Sherrilyn Kenyons: Fantasy Lover.
6. Mmm. As of right now I have no one.
7. Vanilla Ice-Cream and Coke.

What a terrific contest. I really am dying to read these books.
by1. Halloween is not my favorite holiday--I don't really have a favorite because I seem to have lots of family drama at holidays and I much prefer to skip that. Not to mention I have lost a lot of people in my life on Thanksgiving and Christmas, especially.
2. Favorite RS author right now is James Patterson
3. I love to read blogs.
4. I do not like scary movies, my firt memory of seeing something scary was actually the Thriller video when I was 10
5. I started reading romance around 11 or so, and it was a book I got at a yard sale. The title was The Devils Mistress--I think. It was historical.
6. I would have to say one of my ex-boyfriends. My dh is not so romantic. But man DJ sure was.
7. Sweet tea and twix!
Thanks for this chance and good Luck everyone!
I'm so excited for a chance to win these books! I'll get them whether I win or not, no worries there!
by1. I like July 4th and Xmas best, but do enjoy carving pumpkins w/my daughters every year. We're hit or miss one or the other being in college, but whoever happens to be home, we have fun!
2. Seeing how romantic suspense is my absolute fave, I have lots of favorites, so hard just to name one. I'll say Pamela Clare.
3. I love to do it all on the internet - lol- surfing to my heart's content all over the place.
4. I hate, hate, hate scary movies. The first one I remember was Two on a Guillotine (sp?) with Vincent Price and Connie Stevens - watched it on the midnight Chiller Theater w/my dad. First one in a movie theater was The Exorcist - I was about 12 I think.
5. My first romance was Spring Gambit, a Regency by Claudette Williams, at around 17 (??) First real *adult* book was The Flame and the Flower.
6. I have to say Hub is inspirational. He's so incredibly thoughtful of the girls and I and works hard to provide for and take care of us.
7. I have so many guilty pleasures - Diet Coke is a mainstay, every day, but I have a real weakness for Hostess Suzy Qs and M&Ms.
Great questions, Stacy - how fun!
Have a great weekend!

Stacy this is a great contest. I love the questions you came up with.
by1. Leslie and her family love Halloween, so my question is: what is your favorite thing about Halloween? Or if you don't like Halloween, what is your favorite holiday?
I really don't like Halloween, which is due in large part by the fact that I didn't really get into the spirit of this particular holiday. I don't really have a favorite holiday...I tried to think about it, but I came up with nothing. What does that say about me?
2. The Black CAT books are categorized as romantic suspense. Who is your favorite romantic suspense author?
My favorite RS author is J.D. Robb

4. Leslie loves scary movies. Do you like scary movies? Optional question: what was the first scary movie you watched?
I am going to answer both questions, if that is not overstepping. I love scary movies. The first one I ever watched was Cujo; it scared the bejesus out of me. I was a little kid after all.
5. Leslie started reading romances when she was around 12 years old. How old were you when you read your first adult romance and what was the name of it?
I started reading romances at a pretty young age, but the one that I remember very clearly is Shanna by Kathleen Woodiwiss.
6. Leslie names her husband as her inspiration for a romantic hero. Who's YOUR inspiration for a romantic hero?
My inspiration for a romantic hero is a meld of four male characters in four separate books, Roarke (J.D. Robb: in Death series), Michael Stone (Jessica Andersen: Skykeepers), Stone Barrington (Stuart Woods: Stone Barringtone series) and Wyatt (Leslie Parrish: Black CATs series)

Hi Leslie!
byWoohoo! Love your contest! Fun questions too!
Here are my slightly, off-kilter answers,
1. Halloween is a very fun holiday! I love to decorate my house and give away candy to the neighbor kids. Christmas is my favorite holiday out of them all.
2. Hmmm...favorite romantic suspense would have to be Stephanie Bond. I love her Body Mover series.
3. Love reading author blogs, going on freebie sites and entering contests.
4. I don't like scary movies as a rule but have seen some that I really liked. My all time fave is SIXTH SENSE and then the old movie called THE HAUNTING which is in black & hwite.
5. Gosh, I bet you I was 15 years old when I started reading romance. It was the Gothic romance novels by Phyllis A. Whitney and Victoria Holt. My mom would buy them and I would read them when she was done.
6. My inspiration for a romantic hero is Superman played by Christopher Reeve. He was so handsome and dashing in that role!
7. Guilty pleasures? I have a lot! Krunchers potato chips, peanut M&M's, Cherry cordial Hershey kisses, Ruffle's potato chips, and Jelly Belly Jelly beans. Love the varieties of candy at Halloween and the wrappers they come in.
1)My favorite thing about Halloween is the CANDY! :)
by2)Sharon Sala
3)E-mail & read blogs
4)I'm not a big fan of scary movies but loved "The Sixth Sense."
5)I was a late-comer to romance. I was 31, and it was a Rosanne Bittner western.
6)Johnny Depp
7)Anything chocolate, Ben & Jerry's Phish Food. (Although I don't really feel guilty even though I should! Ha!)
Okay you just wanted me to think hard tonight, didn't you?
byOkay here goes!
*BTW great idea!!!*
1. Leslie and her family love Halloween, so my question is: what is your favorite thing about Halloween? Or if you don't like Halloween, what is your favorite holiday?
My favorite thing now about Halloween is watching my kids get dressed up as their favorite characters, a race car driver, a princess,tinkerbell, a fireman.....whatever watching them get into it and then hearing them tell me stories about what their "person" does or did or why they should get candy! It's fun and having my mom there to enjoy it with me, priceless!
2. The Black CAT books are categorized as romantic suspense. Who is your favorite romantic suspense author?
Humm this is harder, the first name that came to mind was BRENDA NOVAK.
3. The Black CAT group deals with solving internet crimes. What is your favorite thing to do on the internet? (blogging, twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.)
Right now it's FACEBOOK I'm addicted to the games, MyZoo,Farmville,FarmTown,FarmPals,FishWorld,and so on. It totally kills my online time.
4. Leslie loves scary movies. Do you like scary movies? Optional question: what was the first scary movie you watched?
No I don't like scary movies in the form of horror. Movies like FINAL DESTINATION I enjoy, or IROBOT(is that considered scary?) but movies like Friday the 13th and so on, NO. I don't remember the 1st one, my mom really enjoyed them, I remember watching the org. Friday the 13th, Children of the Corn,Hellraiser,Hotel Hell,the org. Texas Chainsaw, Nightmare on Elm Street(which btw is the only horror series I found funny, especially since we lived on Elm St. when the first one went to video and we'd have friends over and freak them out playing tricks)......there were more movies but can't think of the titles.
5. Leslie started reading romances when she was around 12 years old. How old were you when you read your first adult romance and what was the name of it?
The first adult romance was MOON ON THE WATER by Pamela Belle I was 16/17yrs old. After that it was Jude Deveraux's VELVET PROMISE and I was totally addicted.
6. Leslie names her husband as her inspiration for a romantic hero. Who's YOUR inspiration for a romantic hero?
My husband, my grandfather,my oldest cousin.......I have many. But DH is my favorite romantic hero. Granddaddy isn't romantic I guess, or rather isn't sexy romantic but is sweet romantic. It's been said he saw my grandmother who weighted probably close to 300lbs or more at the time and as soon as he laid eyes on her, him in his military uniform weighing at most 110lbs, he said "I'm gonna marry that woman!" and he did. And adored her to boot. She was his and he was hers. That to me is a hero, he saw beyond the outside with just a glance, and while he died when I was 3, I swear I can hear him saying "baby love doesn't see what the world sees, love sees what you hide from the world" and other things that stick with me. sorry rambling again.
7. Some of Leslie's guilty pleasures are Nacho Cheese Doritos and diet Coke. What are some of your guilty pleasures?
Are you serious? OMG I've got to tell this? You know those sugary worms the kids eat? *slowly raising hand, me too* you know those nerds we used to get and kids do now*raising hand and turning away okay so I hide mine from the kids*.......I refuse to tell more.LOL
hugs,
WendyK

7. White chocolate, I cannot stop, I must stop, but it's toooo yummy
Thank you Stacy! Oh, interesting questions :)
by1. Halloween isn't really celebrated here (NZ) so I guess my favorite holiday is...is it bad that I don't have one? It used to be Christmas, but with everything that has happened over the last few years a holiday for me is no family (that sounds terrible, doesn't it?).
2. I think I would have to say Linda Howard, because Cry No More blew me away!
3. Reading blogs and discovering new books. I'm on dial-up, so I've yet to discover the wonder of online music and video :)
4. Scary movies? Nope. I only watched the Alien movies 5 years ago, and when my flatamtes came in I had my legs on the couch (not on the floor)...just in case :) And my teddy bear was with me...safety in numbers!
5. My first adult romance was Barbara Cartland (I think) and I was 17. I laughed the whole way through them (much to my mother's disgust). Then apart from Patricia Veryan there was a huge romance gap until 2006!
6. I don't have one...
7. Coca Cola...although currently I'm down to one can per week...
Good luck everyone and thank you Stacy!
