Oct 31st, 2011 | By Kallieross | Category: Book of the Month, Contests, Featured Articles, Site News
Here it is! Our Book of the Month for November on BookshelfBanter.com and TwilightTheoriesSeries.com is…The Survivors by Amanda Havard! The Survivors is Amanda’s debut novel and the first in The Survivor Series published by Chafie Press. During the entire month of November, we will be sponsoring events surrounding this fantastic book. There will be 3-yes, THREE!!!-giveaways of signed copies from Amanda Havard, and the last giveaway will include a Survivors swag bag with free music downloads as well! Amanda will be giving out lots of information throughout the month as we do an interview with her as well as a Twitter Chat Party with her towards the end of the month. Amanda Havard isn’t your normal author, either. She’s a singer/songwriter who uses music to set the stage for her books. You can see what I mean by checking out her YouTube page. You can also follow Amanda on Twitter and Facebook, as well as SEVERAL of her characters in The Survivors Series. Here is the synopsis from Amazon for the book:
“In 1692, when witch trials gripped the community of Salem, Massachusetts, twenty-six children were accused as witches, exiled, and left for dead. Fourteen of them survived. The Survivors is the first installment of the tantalizing tales of the fourteen ill-fated Survivors and their descendants, who have been content in hiding for over three centuries. Isolated on a Montana mountainside, only Sadie, the rogue daughter, dares to abandon the family’s sacred hiding place. But no matter how far Sadie runs, something always pulls her back. On a muggy summer night in Tennessee, she witnesses a shocking scene that will change her life forever. It is the first in a sequence of events that will drag her from the human world she’s sought to belong to for over a century and send her back to her Puritanical family and into an uncertain future filled with cunning witches, mysterious nosferatu shape-shifters, dangerous eretica and vieczy vampires, millennia-old mythology, and the search for her own mortality. After all… HOW DO YOU KILL A SURVIVOR?”
We hope you will grab a copy of Survivors and let us know what you think! You can read Kelly’s review of Survivors here. To get us started off right this month, here is our FIRST of THREE contest giveaways!

Amanda Havard-Author of The Survivors Series
If I had unlimited ammounts of money I would
Travel the world visiting historic places with my family
Have my kid set for college
Buy a house for me and my family.
When I have unlimited amounts I’m going to help as many people and animals as I possibly can, I’m going to buy a beautiful brand new house for me and my family, and i would like to travel the world but that might not work(deathly afraid of flying) out so I’ll have to stick to driving around the country.
If I had unlimited mney I would help as many people as I can. I would help my family pay off all their bills. Then I would probably buy something for each member of my family that they always wanted but couldn’t afford.
I’d buy my own house, travel to all the countries that I’ve always wanted to visit and donate a lot of money to an animal charity that I’m always donating when I’m able.
If I had unlimited amounts of money, I would give my mom enough to retire, put some away for all my kids and then travel the world.
If I had unlimited amounts of money I would
1) Build a library in my home town.
2) pay for all of my family and friends homes and debt
3) help anyone and everyone who needs it
When I would have unlimited amounts of money I would
– solve the worlds financial problems
– build the dreamhouse we want with a complete room full of books (and offcourse ladders to get to the top of the shelves)
– buy a vacationhome in several countries around the world so we can go on holiday (and let family and friends go too off course) where ever we want.
If I had unlimited amount of money I would…
1. Travel to many countries because that is something that I want to do so badly but don’t have the money for it 🙁
2. Donate money to non-profit organizations because I volunteer for one and I see how literally every dollar donated changes lives.
3. I would splurge on clothes and cars 🙂
If I had unlimited money I would help Domestic Violence victims(I’m a HUGE advocate,being a victim myself),go to college and travel with my family.
If I had an unlimited amount’s of money I would set it up so that my mother would never have to work another day in her life and give her the house that she’s always wanted. I would have my son get the best education that’s available
Hey Kallieross, Well put together blog. I will post a link on my facebook page.
1st thing I would do is pay my God
2nd thing to do is get completely out of debt.
3rd thing is help my family, friends, community and world to be in a better place.
1. Give it away to whomever seemed right (family and friends) to organizations/charities (special olympics, autism speaks, red cross)
2. Plan lots of vacations
3. Invest in whatever my husband thought would would continue our wealth
I’d find the cure for cancer, purchase anything & everything my heart desires (LOL), and travel the world.
I would feed the hungry, cure all diseases, & finally drink a glass of wine in every city of the world.
Unlimited?? I would by houses for my mom, my grown kids & pay off my dads for starters. Oh wait I forgot my house lol. After that, I would start a foundation similar to habitat for humanity. What’s the point of having all that money if you can’t help people with it? We have way too many homeless in America.
