CHARACTER INTERVIEW WITH HARRY & SAMMY FROM COWGIRLS & VAMPIRES by TIM O'ROURKE PLUS!! 5 SIGNED PRINTS GIVEAWAYS

I’m dusty and thirsty as I stroll on into town on my fine stallion Ned.  I have my interview with Sammy and Harry from Cowgirls & Vampires at the Black Water Gap Saloon today. I just have to find it. I’m so glad I wore my chaps ( hehe, this is my fantasy so I am wearing chaps and my leather cowboy hat and looking mighty fine....just go with it people.) 

Ned comes to a stop. Leaning forward in the saddle, I raise my gloved hand to my hat tipping it back a touch , surveying the town with a cool gaze. I really do need to get off Ned, my ass is killing me. Ned huffs and shakes his head. I think Ned is looking forward to a nice cool drink.

   “Come on Ned, let’s find the Saloon, I should have packed a step ladder, dismounting is going to hurt, matey.”

There is a short, sharp whistle and I look around to see Harry Turner standing in the open saloon doors. Sammy was right – he is scruffy looking. His sandy coloured hair looks like it needs a good comb, his faded blue denim shirt and jeans are dusty looking. He looks as if he hasn’t shaved for a week. Ooo yeah, he is a looker.  His gun belt is criss-crossed about his waist and two gleaming revolvers are tied to his thighs. I didn't have to mention the thighs, but they are rather nice looking thighs. Go Team Harry.

Ned trots over to Harry at the sound of his whistle. I look from Harry to the ground that is waaayyyy down there. I resign myself to the fact I can't sit here all day, time to dismount and not grunt from the pain. Groaning I rise in the saddle, oh man, I hope I can walk. 

I catch Harry smirking, he can see that I’m having trouble getting the leg over, it may be the unlady like noises I am making,  suddenly I feel two strong hands on my ass. Eeeppp! Harry has taken it upon himself to speed up the process, helping me out of my saddle and depositing me on the saloon wooden steps.

“Err, thanks, I think I can manage now,”  I tell him, bending and stretching . “Sammy was right; you are an ass man.” 

“Don’t get too excited, doll,” he grumbles and heads back towards the swinging saloon doors. Sadly, he doesn’t look back. 

"Oh well, bit late for that," I mumble behind him.

I follow him walking like a bow legged cowboy, I always wanted to walk through swinging double saloon doors. No, they don't hit you in the ass if you do it right. I can see Sammy leaning against the bar. Her wide brimmed hat is pushed back and she has a cigarette jutting from the corner of her mouth. She truly is beautiful. 

"Hi Sammy, I am Michelle from Novels On The Run and I am here to ...."

“Drink?” Harry asks me, his grey eyes sharp. 

"Yes, I'll have a ....."

“Don’t have the whiskey,” Sammy smiles at me. “It’s great for paint stripping, but not for drinking. Not the beer either, as warm as bath water. ” 

"Errr.....a coke?"

"What?", said Harry who was staring at me.

"Errr, water, anything I'm a bit dusty."

Harry orders me a water, then thrusting the glass into my hand, he looks at me and says, “Shall we just get this interview over with?” Then he’s off, striding across the saloon towards a table. 

He fits a pair of jeans well.

Sammy and I follow him, she sits, I choose to stand and take a big drink, I think once I am down, I am not getting up again. Harry eyes me for a few seconds before he sits opposite me. 

Michelle: Sammy, what 10 words would you use to describe Harry? Be honest, pretend Harry isn’t sitting here.

Harry: You know she isn’t gonna have anything nice to say.

Michelle: Now don’t be like that Harry, you get a turn too.

Sammy: Ten words huh? (She smiles to herself) I can think of a lot more! Harry is moody, sullen, arrogant, a chauvinist, and a tease. But he is a loyal friend to the Preacher, Louise and Zoe. Harry is brave – or stupid – I’m not sure which, and good to have around in a fight.

Harry: I’m no tease (grumbles and takes a sip of his whiskey)

Sammy: Yeah you are. You’re always grabbing my arse.

Harry: It’s called an ass! 

Michelle: Um, well you do grab her ass a bit......
* clears throat* Harry, shoot from the hip, what 10 words would you use to best describe the first time you saw Sammy? *leans over nudges Harry*, she’s gorgeous isn’t she?

Sammy: Hey, thanks Michelle.

Harry: Is she? I hadn’t really noticed. (He takes another shot of whiskey and I can’t help but notice the way he eyes Sammy over the rim of his glass. It was brief, but it was there). I thought she was dumb, if I’m being honest. She couldn’t hold her liquor. But in fairness to the girl – she’s pretty quick on the draw. Sammy’s okay to have hanging around – and yeah she does have a cute ass I guess.

Sammy: I knew it (smiles to herself and takes a sip of her milk). 

Oh yeah, these two are going to be fun.

Michelle: I think the Preacher is a great guy. I love his handle bar moustache, very stylish. The Preacher has got himself a lady to keep him warm at night, I imagine she likes the moustache too. Although I think it would tickle.
Harry, how long have you and the Preacher been blazing the wild west trails together?

Harry: We do have a rather interesting history but I know our story will be told in later books, so I can’t really answer that at the moment. I can tell you that meeting the preacher was quite an adventure and would fill a book or two.

Michelle: Sammy, you like to have a smoke, any other vices that you can’t go without?

Sammy: I thought smoking was my only vice but I experienced certain things on the Scorpion Steam one night – so I’d quite like to try some of those again (Sammy winks at me). 

I waggle my eyebrows at her.

Harry: What is that you two are doing? 

Michelle and Sammy : What?

Harry: *mumbles* Women. *shakes his head*

Michelle: I notice you don’t smoke , Harry. What are your vices?

Harry: Women who talk too much.

Michelle: The vampires in Cowgirls & Vampires are not the pretty , sparkly variety. They are a bit of the fugly squad, but with a keen fashion sense. The use of the red bandana is fashionable yet necessary or they would be catching bugs with those frightening mouths. You are a fit guy. What advice would you give Sammy when it comes to killing the vamps?

Harry: Keep her mind on her shooting and not on c&*k…

Michelle: *blushing*…..Can you give the followers of my blog an exclusive hint as to what might happen in book two?

Sammy: The story starts in the same place as book one. I get another visit and away I go! Sally might make an appearance – if she can behave herself (giggles). 

Michelle: Hehe! Sally, she is a goer.

Harry: Who is Sally?

Michelle and Sammy:  Nobody, you have met.

Harry: * grunts * Women!
All I’m gonna say is that I not sure if the whole Marley Cooper thing is resolved. I’ve got a feeling that whole thing might come back to bite me on the ass. 

Michelle: * finishes drink * I'll be looking forward to seeing your ass get bit. Hehe!

Harry: *stares at Michelle*

Michelle: *cough* I think that may conclude my interview. I shall now take my leave and get back on Ned and ride out of this here town. Umm, anybody got a ladder? Oh stick around for the giveaway.

BOOK REVIEW - COWGIRLS & VAMPIRES by TIM O'ROURKE - 5 UBER SMEXI HARRY STARS!! - SAMANTHA CARTER SERIES # 1

By: Tim O'Rourke

Published By : Tim O'Rourke

Released: Available Now!!

Details: Digital ARC, 267 Pages

RATING: 5 UBER SMEXI HARRY STARS!!

Book Blurb: Goodreads

Samantha Carter believes that a vampire is responsible for the brutal deaths of four women in her home town.

Desperate to prove this, Samantha seeks the friendship of a Preacher, two Cowgirls and a Cowboy. Together they are hired by the mysterious Englishman, Spencer Drake, to travel by steam train up into the mountains in the search of gold. But it’s on this journey that Samantha discovers vampires are very real and far more dangerous than she had ever imagined.

To stay alive, Samantha needs to figure out why things have gone so terribly wrong for her – but more importantly why she is out of time.

BOOK REVIEW by Michelle :

Tim O’Rourke has ventured into the adult genre with a spectacular entrance. Cowgirls & Vampires is a whole lot of brain gymnastics and fun, not to mention some awesome new characters for us to get to know and enjoy. All I am going to say is chapter 23!!!! I do blush!

The Preacher, is actor Sam Elliott in my mind . Sam instantly came to mind. The Preacher is going to win a few hearts, there is something most attractive about a man with a white handle bar moustache and deep voice. Think Sam’s character in ‘The Big Lebowski’. Not same colour hair , and The Preacher is around 40yrs old. But , you get my idea, once you read the book.

http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi1997904921/

Harrison Turner aka Harry....oooo the girls are going to love Harry. I have affectionately called him dirty Harry:D Harry, 25yrs old , sandy blonde hair and a bit of a scruff, he is one broody cowboy that gets my heart-a-flutter, he is also a bit of a naughty lad.

*coughchapter23cough*

You may want to turn on a fan before reading this chapter ,it is smokin’.

Our gun totting, cigarette smoking, blonde, gorgeous heroine, is Samantha Carter, aka Sammy. All sorts of things will come to light with her character and some things will stay in the dark. Bring on book 2! I can’t say anything too much as it will spoil.

Louise Pearson, the lucky chicken who won a competition Tim was holding to have her name in this book. She gets quite a big role and one I am sure she will laugh at. Go Louise!

Zoe Edgar, 18years old and a real sweetie. I think she may be slightly crushing on Harry??? Join the queue sister!

( Wee Zach, Tim's son, we still need to discuss who is intercepting my bribery candy, you aren’t picking my name...hehe!!)

Within the first four chapters Tim has the reader on a ride and also starting the brain gymnastics. Once you start you won’t stop reading, you can’t. He has many surprises and twists waiting to pop out at you.

When you think you have it worked, like this smarty pants ..... well.............?

This book truly has the Tim Factor stamped all over it.

I am Team Harry but I have a big ol’soft spot for the Preacher. Harry and Sammy share some wonderful banter that had me laughing out loud.

Seriously Harry, please don’t hold back on what you think...lol!!

Team Potter and Team Harry, two great guy characters of Tim’s, but very different. I think Potter , even he would blush at what Harry says and does.

The action scenes were awesome. The smexi scenes will........ and the characters you will want to keep coming back for more. The bad guys are real bad!! Tim’s version of vampires, ‘Vrykolakas’, the red bandana wearing villains are not your pretty sparkly variety. The mystery will keep you guessing, and Harry...well, Harry ...... * waggles eyebrows*............... I’ll let you find that out for yourself.

Yehaaaaaa!!!!! Ridem’ Cowboy!!

( No pun intended...well..maybe.....)

FAVE QUOTES:

I glanced across the fire and could see a half-smile tugging at the corners of Harry’s lips. Arsehole, I thought to myself. The good-looking ones always were.



With his mouth turned down, and fixing me with his grey eyes as I stared vacantly up at him, he shook his head and said, “If your brains were dynamite, there wouldn’t be enough to blow your own nose with. Now c’mon.”



“Don’t they ever stop shagging?” I giggled aloud.



“Because if you don’t keep your eyes closed – if you look at me, then this becomes real,” he whispered. “It stops being a fantasy.”



He made a mumbling noise against me.
“ Say what?” I shouted. “Stop mumbling!”
“Get your tits outter my face!” he roared at me. “I can’t see a god-damn thing!”

BOOK COVER REVEAL - COWGIRLS & VAMPIRES by TIM O'ROURKE AUTHOR OF KIERA HUDSON SERIES - A NEW ADULT SERIES HE IS WRITING!!

DUE FOR RELEASE AUGUST 2012

NEW ADULT SERIES


YeeeEEeehhHHaaaaaa!!

‘Cowgirls & Vampires’ will be darker and racier than the

 Kiera Hudson Series. 

Carles will be designing the remaining three covers for the Kiera Hudson series and all six covers for ‘Cowgirls & Vampires’.

I took this from Tim's Goodreads Page

I love the cover, it is stunning and the colours are very western, but who knows with Tim? He does like to mix his writing up and bring that originality. Samantha Carter aka Sammy is our gal on the front cover, and are those bats in the sky?

What do you think of the cover?
