Blog Tour: The Rising Moon -Guest Post & Giveaway

11 Sept 2011


Hey everyone :) Today's my stop for The Risng Moon blog tour! I have asked Nilsa Rodriguez to share the inspiration behind her novel, The Rising Moon. After Nilsa's guest post, there will be an ebook giveaway for one lucky winner!


I've always been fascinated by the legend of the Lobison. I wanted to write a story around this legend that originated in Central and South America, and is believed in to this very day. Fans of the paranormal genre,especially those who enjoy werewolves, know the usual stories or history about werewolves, but not so much about the Lobison's who are werewolves by birthright. Their history and legend, is one I hope the readers will enjoy.
The Rising Moon takes place on a horse ranch in Lander, WY. Angelia (Lia) is an orphaned girl who always knew she was different. Having lost her parents when she was four, Lia grew up not knowing who she was.
The story follows Lia's discovery about her family's past and about who she truly is… the reincarnation of the immortal werewolf.
I've been asked, "Why write about reincarnation?" Well the idea of having the power to reincarnate and relive your life, as if having a second chance is fascinating. If you were destined to repeat your previous life,
live, and die as you once did because that was fate's plan, then what would happen if you came back and changed it? Will fate's plan change or remain the same? Hmm…it was something to think and write about.
The Rising Moon includes many paranormal elements such as, witches, shape shifters, werewolves and vampires. Mix all those elements with a story of self discovery, action, romance and you have The Rising Moon.

~About the Author~
Being an author is quite literally a dream come true for a girl who spent most of her childhood moment escaping to far-away lands and wondering into enchanted forests through the many books she's read growing up and still enjoy to this very day.
Having had studied  Fashion Design at Parsons School of Design and Early Childhood Education at PennFoster College her love for writing has always remained close to heart. So with honor Nilsa received her literary diploma from The Institute for Children Literature in 2009. 
Born and raised in New Jersey, Nilsa Rodriguez now lives in sunny Florida with her husband and son where you can find her writing well into the night on her next novel.

  3. Curious about when the first golf buggy came out? It happened some time during the 1940's. Ever since then, it's been subject to a number of modifications. A traditional one is battery powered and comes with a hood. There is baggage space for two golf bags at the back. More modern versions of this could support up to four persons and four different golf bags.
