1–What is the title of your latest release? DEMON SONG 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A demon and a former demon-hunter join forces to prevent hell on Earth from becoming the literal truth – and find their happily-ever-after in the process. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? Demon Song is the second book in a duology. The first book, Singing with the Devil, takes place in a Louisiana swamp, and I wanted the sequel to have a totally different setting to liven things up. So I decided to have the majority of the action take place in the desert, namely west Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. There are also some plot reasons why the desert works, but I don’t want to get into spoilers! 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Absolutely! We have similar tastes in music, so I think we’d get along. That said – she’s definitely cooler than me. 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Demon. Gentle. Brutal. You’ll have to read the book to see how they all fit together! 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? Sometimes you need to…

1–What is the title of your latest release? PSYCHO BEASTS 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Welcome to Serpentine City. The Mafia rule and we’re about to be indoctrinated. Cobra’s the heir to the throne, and he’s been given an ultimatum. Form a pack…or else. Now, we’re fighting for our lives and each other. Will Jax, Xerxes, Ascher, and Cobra fall apart under the pressure? Will Sadie be strong enough to handle what they want? Will their tension crumble into hatred? Or build into love? Between training and fighting for our lives, it’s about to go down like never before. We may have survived the Fae realm, but the real test has just begun. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I love a rainy futuristic cityscape, so that was why I made the beast realm all glittery skyscrapers and storms. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Yes, Sadie is a funny heroine who says ridiculous things. 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Psycho. Alphahole. Possessive. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? I learned that I have the propensity to write very violent (consensual) smut scenes. Think…

1–What is the title of your latest release? A TOUCH OF MOONLIGHT 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Larimar has found her soulmate in Ray. He just can’t find out she works for the corporation that wants to close his bakery, and he can’t find out she’s a ciguapa (mythical creature from Dominican folk legend). 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I started writing the book during the lockdown in 2020, so my mind naturally went to several places I wanted to travel to and couldn’t, like North Jersey (where I’m from) and Philly (where I lived for several years). 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Absolutely! We would go thrift shopping and eat cupcakes together. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Spunky, spirited, sarcastic. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? I learned more about the moon cycle than I ever had in my life, since the events of the story happen around the moon cycle. There were some scenes I had to edit to match the moon cycle. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I try…

When I was in second grade, and it was my turn to choose the book from which our teacher would read aloud, I chose The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe. And when she started to read it, I recited the opening lines aloud, along with her. Mom got a note. I’ve never been anybody’s definition of normal and my love for the macabre is family legend. But I have been around for a while. Nobody was publishing vampire romances when I started writing Twilight Phantasies (currently FREE in E.) Anne Rice was publishing her lush, vivid, passionate Vampire Chronicles outside the romance genre, and I was devouring them, but there was nothing within. The newborn genre of paranormal romance hadn’t even been named yet. Yet here I was, writing something that had very little hope of being published. I took my novel’s title from Adonais: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats by Percy Bysshe Shelley. That’s why phantasies is spelled with a ph as it was in the piece’s thirteenth stanza, which is, I think, the most beautiful. There were no vampire novels with “twilight” in the title at that time. In fact, I had published ten…

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Wren Michaels! Writes: Paranormal Romance BLOOD AND THUNDER, Book 2 in The Thunderbird Brotherhood Series   Rowtag Aktoon is about to die. He doesn’t know how, and he doesn’t know when. All he knows is it’s coming. After his cousin shares a vision and part of it comes true, the reality creeps in that his end could very well be imminent. His family convinces him to seek the help of a witch who could provide answers. He only hopes that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Everleigh Ulric isn’t what she seems. Hiding from a father who wants to exploit her and an immortal witch out for vengeance, she’s built a life of anonymity hidden away at Cirque de Mystique – a paranormal circus. When Tag discovers Everleigh is his mate, life takes on new meaning, however short theirs may be, and he plans to make sure neither he nor his new mate end up six feet under. But dying may just be…

1–What is the title of your latest release? DEMON’S OBSESSION 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? What would you do if you found out you are Lucifer’s fated mate? 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I love demon romances, but I felt that I couldn’t write a Lucifer book because I didn’t have any story to tell. And then one night I had a dream about a demon with large horns walking through a forest getting bigger and being watched by a woman who loved him. When I woke up all the other pieces fell into place. I also watched the new Hocus Pocus the night before, so I was like Salem! Yes! 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Yes. I never write a heroine I don’t like, and I usually give them some of my traits. Sophia has lost her Dad like I have and she’s a great best friend. We could definitely hang out. 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Emperor, god, villain. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? I learned to stop waiting for a week to my deadline to start…

Excerpted from The Dark King, by Gina L. Maxwell. Entangled Publishing, 2022. Reprinted with permission.   As she emerges from the pool, she wrings the water out of her long hair, then fluffs and separates the strands so they fall in damp pieces around her shoulders. My eyes stay pinned to her as she walks to me and takes a seat on the next lounge chair over. She stays facing me but leans back on her hands and extends her long legs into the space between us. It’s not done in an overtly seductive way—her demeanor is casual, like it’s simply a comfortable position for her to be in—but it makes me want to devour her from her pink-painted toes to her pretty pink mouth. Looking back out over the pool, I say, “You should wear swimsuits with a little more suit to them.” “I packed two for a two-day trip, and if you’ll remember, I was forced to wear the other one as pajamas. I’ll admit I bought this as more of a dare to myself and didn’t really plan on wearing it, but beggars, choosers, yada-yada.” She glances down at herself, then raises her gaze again to aim…

1–What is the title of your latest release? THE LAST FRIEND YOU’LL EVER HAVE 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? If you could kill people just by touching them, you’d use that power for good, right? Mostly good, anyway? 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? Answer: Write what you know! The book opens in St. Louis, near where I grew up, and then spends part of the time in Denver, where I had friends live for a while. Even the gas station where Highway 70 just…ends in Utah is modeled on a real place I’ve been (and yes, it’s really weird when a major highway you’ve been on for a thousand miles comes to a T!). Might have thrown my town into the mix, just because I could, but won’t say which one! 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? That’s a really tough thing to answer because, for the most part, my heroine is too deadly to just casually ‘hang out with.’ She will kill you, even if she’s not trying to! But by the end…I mean, she does really like ice cream and her dogs. I think…

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Elizabeth Rose!   Writes: Elizabeth Rose writes a variety of genres of romance, but most readers know her for her award-winning, bestselling medieval, Highland, and fantasy romances. HAUNTED HEARTS, her latest book focuses on the holiday of Halloween. Or, as it was called by the pagans, Samhain, or by just about everyone else back then, All Hallows’ Eve. Haunted Hearts is a second chance romance between Lady Lillith Bonnel and Lord Blaze Payne, and a family feud that is said to be a curse. This is Book 6 in the Holiday Knights Series, where each book focuses on a holiday and its origins back in medieval times.   About: Elizabeth lives in the suburbs of Chicago but is a country girl at heart. Her summers are spent swinging in her “writing hammock” in her secret garden with her grand dog at her side. She loves herbs, lazy summer days, gemstones, and nature in general.
