UPCOMING RELEASES
Blood and Soul 1: Vampire Master coming soon from http://www.changelingpress.com
Mel revels in her vampirism and enjoys challenging her powers with savage physical tests. More than anything, she longs to be devoured by one of the ancient alpha males she has only heard about.
Zigor, owner of the notorious club called Burgundy Peak, runs his business and his love life with absolute force. Deeply rooted in the past, he refuses to submit to the modern world. Many women offer him their blood in exchange for the pleasures of his body, but only a select few are allowed to experience his all consuming passion.
To appease her fantasy of a dominant lover, Mel arranges for a meeting with Zigor. What neither realizes is that their joining will force them to confront their deepest fears and change their lives forever.
Blood and Soul 2: Vampire Crusader coming soon from http://www.changelingpress.com
With no law to govern vampire world, Charles Free is a self appointed crusader sworn to fight evil among his own kind. Once known as Sir Charles, the Handsome Giant, he is as proud of his appearance as he is of his honor. While helping a mortal escape from a savage predator, Charles is attacked by vampire hunters armed with special silver weapons. Though he escapes with his life, the silver has caused deformities that even his power of regeneration cannot heal. Fearful of rejection from the woman he loves, he arranges for her to believe that he has been abducted by hunters and will probably never return to her.
Marie Connor is heartbroken to learn of her fiancis disappearance. For months she wades through her depression, always hoping that one day Charles will appear again. At the request of a friend, she agrees to attend a Halloween party where she meets a masked stranger who reminds her too much of her missing lover. In her heart, she knows this compelling man is Charles, but why the charade? The answer to her question will only be found in his arms during a night of scorching passion and dark confessions.
GUEST AUTHOR: J. C. WILDER
You're known for your sensual vampire stories. What is it about vampires that inspires you?
I've always had a soft spot for the bad boys and let's face it,
vampires are the ultimate bad boy. Without even opening the
book the reader knows they're in for a dark, sensual read as
that is the legacy of the vampire - how could I not be
inspired?
You've been a part of epublishing for a long time. Your well
known vampire romance One With The Hunger was one of
the first ebooks I ever read back in the late nineties. How do
you think the world of epublishing has changed over the years
and do you see it continuing to grow in the future?
Comparing the epub world now and five years ago is like
comparing apples and oranges. When my first book came
out in June of 1998 I didn't even know what epublishing was.
Now most people who are readers have at least heard of it.
The explosion of book sales for epublishing is nothing short
of phenomenal. In the beginning we were happy to make a
hundred dollars a month from one title now there are any
number of authors who write full time on epublishing sales
only, myself included. I think once the cheaper, more reliable
ebook readers hit the market that the sky is the limit.
Would you tell us about your newest release?
I actually have two recent releases. In June ELLORA'S
CAVEMEN: TALES FROM THE TEMPLE II was released.
My novella is entitled ONE NIGHT STAND and it takes
place in the Shadow Dweller world. It is a vampire story and
it is hot, hot, HOT! Here is a short blurb:
Lucius deVille had the face of an angel and the body of an
unrepentant sinner. He was the kind of vampire every woman
dreamed of calling Lover at least once in her life. He was the
proverbial tall, dark and handsome male that was the fantasy
of millions of women around the world and to top it all off, he
was educated and possessed a wicked sense of humor that
had charmed more than one woman out of her panties.
Tonight, Rachel was determined to claim Luc as her own.
For the evening, at least.
My July release is an anthology entitled IN MOONLIGHT
and it is about three witches. My novella is entitled FULL
MOON MAGICK and it is another hot read. It also takes
place in the Shadow Dweller world and the hero is the
half-brother of Quinn from REDEMPTION. here is a short
blurb:
Esme Proctor is the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter
in a legendary lineage of witches. Betrothed at a young age,
she is whisked off to live in near solitude until the morning
of her marriage. Desperate to escape her upcoming nuptials,
she conjures a lover to take her virginity and free her from
the betrothal contract.
Only things don't work out quite as she'd expected....
You write under different names and for several different
publishers. Would you talk a little about your books that are
available through each of the publishers?
I have two pen names, J.C. Wilder and Dominique Adair.
The Adair name is strictly used for Ellora's Cave titles while
the Wilder name will appear at EC and LTDBooks.com.
I started out with LTDBooks in 2001 with the Shadow
Dweller Series. This series takes place in a dark, preternatural
world where a very bad vampire is struggling to gain control
of the Council of Elders, the ruling body of the Shadow Dwellers.
Currently there are six books with the seventh coming in
December. I also have the PARADOX series with Rosemary
Laurey. These are erotic fantasy novellas with a different theme
for each edition. In September PARADOX III will be out and
the theme is stone - these are some Hot stories! I also have
DREAM QUEST, an anthology that Linnea Sinclair and I
edited together and it came out last year.
For Ellora's Cave I have a vampire novella, LAST KISS that
is included in the DARK DREAMS anthology. I also have
several bondage and submission stories in the TIED WITH
A BOW and PARTY FAVORS anthology.
Would you give us a sneak peak at some of your
upcoming projects?
Boy do I have a lot of projects coming up. My 2004 release
schedule is:
July - IN MOONLIGHT
(ellorascave.com - Wilder title) erotic witch anthology
September - PARADOX III
(ltdbooks.com - Wilder title) erotic omnibus with a theme
of stone, my hero is a gargoyle
October - THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT, IV
(ellorascave.com - Wilder title) erotic were-cat story set in
the Shadow Dweller world - this novella starts off my new series
November - RSVP (ellorascave.com - Adair title) erotic
bondage and submission story set in the bayou of Louisiana
December - EYE OF THE STORM (ltdbooks.com - Wilder title)
For 2005 I have seven releases coming up! Yikes, I'm tired just
thinking about it.
To you, what makes a great romance hero?
Honesty, loyalty and the ability to trust him. People make
a big deal about big, burly pectorals and the hero being
a hunk, I'm more interested in his strength of character
than the strength of his arms.
If you could meet one of your characters, which one
would it be?
Valentin from ONE WITH THE HUNGER. Probably
because he was my first published hero and I just adore
him. He's handsome, quirky and just a fun vampire. :)
Do you have a website and/or email address where
readers can reach you?
Sure thing. My websites are:
Excerpt from FULL MOON MAGICK from IN
Esmerelda Proctor stared at the wedding gown in absolute
horror. The white silk and tulle creation was nestled in a bed
of ivory tissue paper in an oversized cardboard box closely
resembling a coffin. The bodice and long fitted sleeves were
covered in delicate seed pearls, glittering crystals and yards
of Brussels lace. The voluminous tulle skirt was barely
restrained by the yards of tissue paper wrapped around it.
At the bottom of the box, her mothers wedding tiara was
nestled in its own bed of tissue paper next to dainty silk slippers.
Her eyes slid shut and a feeling of impending disaster washed
over her. Maybe it was a mistake and shed imagined the gown
on her bed. A half-laugh, half-sob escaped and her hands fisted.
She took a deep breath and slowly released it before allowing
herself to open her eyes.
The gown was still there.
Drat.
Fashioned for her great-great grandmother, the original
Esmerelda, the gown was fit for a princess and, despite its
age, was as pristine as the day it was first worn. Her
great-grandmother, Angelina, had worn the dress as had
her grandmother, Brianna, and finally her mother, Carolan.
It was part and parcel of being the seventh Proctor daughter
of a seventh Proctor daughter legacy. She, Esmerelda
Julianna Proctor, was the last of her line and destined to
wear this dress.
Only shed been hoping it wouldnt be this soon. Her lips
twisted. Not to mention that fact that the dress would never
fit her without magical assistance. Carolan had been a
sleek sized eight while Esme was a sturdy sized sixteen.
She sighed again, poked at a sleeve and felt something
stiff tucked into the edge of the box.
A thick cream linen envelope peeked out from the layers
of cloth and paper. She picked it up and her stomach
plummeted. The paper was obviously expensive and on
the back was her fathers seal, a raven with a dagger
clutched in its claws.
She broke the scarlet wax with a fingernail, tipped the
envelope over and a cassette tape fell out. Her hand
trembled as she picked it up and hurried to her stereo
to shove it into the player. She pushed the play button.
Esmerelda. Her fathers voice sounded from the
speakers. The day has come for you to fulfill your
duties to your family and marry the Montgomery heir
as was set forth in the betrothal contract. By now
youve received the wedding gown and everything youll
need for the ceremony. The car will pick you up Saturday
morning at 10am and the ceremony is set for 10:45am
sharp. If anything is missing or does not fit properly, have
Shani contact my assistant and they will take care of the
issue. There was a slight pause and the sound of a
heavily indrawn breath.
Do not disappoint me.

EXCERPT
Excerpt From Blood and Soul 1: Vampire Master by Kate Hill
Onan led her through the back of the room to a black
door with an outline of an androgynous figure painted in
red. A thorny vine wrapped around the figure from throat
to foot. Oh yes. This Zigor was definitely into image. When
she got up there, he'd probably have music from some
Goth band playing in the background. Everything would
be in black and red velvet.
If she really believed he was a big phony, why was her
mouth dry and her pulse racing?
Opening the door, Onan stepped aside and gestured for
her to ascend the long, narrow staircase. A single
torchlight glowed at the very top. A most erotic scent
struck Mel like a fist. God, it was wild, savage, pure yet
tainted by thousands of years of decadence. It wrapped
around her like a hundred invisible hands, caressing her
breasts and pinching her nipples. It dipped between her
legs and slid deep into her pussy. Stroking, licking,
promising fulfillment of her darkest dreams.
Mel tore herself away from the incredible sensations.
"Do I leave this way when it's over?"
"From now on, the Master will tell you all you need
know."
"Sure." Drawing a deep breath, Mel walked up the
first step.
The door closed behind her and the lock turned.
Mel heard no sound except that of her breathing and
an occasional tap of her booted feet on the stone steps.
The walls were also made of stone. The dimness was
comfortable to vampiric eyes, yet Mel was not the least
bit relaxed. How could she be? Who knew what
awaited her up there? She didn't hear a single note of
that Goth music she had expected. The only sound
coming from the top of those steps was that of
crackling flames.
With each step, her heart seemed to pound louder in
her ears. Such fearful anticipation was humiliating for
any vamp worth her salt.
"Hello?" Slowly, she neared the top of the steps.
"Zigor?"
Releasing a deep breath, she took the last step and
glanced around a large stone room, empty except for
manacles and shackles dangling against the wall
to the right of an enormous fireplace. Flames leapt
inside, the stones behind them black with soot.
Hell. This place reminded her of what Hell must look
like.
That marvelous scent was so strong here. It was the
powerful aroma of a very old vampire. Zigor.
Suddenly she felt as if two hands had cupped her
breasts beneath her clothes. Mel jumped, startled. Her
gaze fixed on an archway to the right leading to
another room. It was bathed in utter blackness. Even
a vampire would take time to adjust to such darkness.
Those invisible hands were caressing her nipples now,
turning them, rubbing them in circles. Mel's breathing
increased. Passion rolled through her pussy,
dampening it. Her clit throbbed mercilessly, so much
that when she rocked her hips the slightest bit, the
friction of her jeans against the sensitive flesh
threatened to hurl her into orgasm.
"Zigor?" She fought to keep the passion from her
voice, difficult when her entire body teetered on the
verge of climax. Gritting her teeth, she fought for
control of herself.
"You have not been given permission to call me by
name."
Mel's eyes closed involuntarily. Raw desire broke
over her just from the sound of his voice. It was
deep, the words slow and dripping with power. It
was the voice of virility itself.
"Isn't it better than calling you 'hey you'?" she
breathed.
The invisible fingers on her nipples pinched them a
bit too hard for her taste. She gasped. "Hey!"
"Silence, woman."
"Look, I didn't come here to-"
"Of course you did. I've seen you here many times
before, sitting down at the bar, sipping blood from
a glass instead of from a warm, throbbing artery.
I've watched your eyes darken in lusty daydreams
of things you want but have been too afraid to
seek."
"So you do spy."
"I said silence." Arms wrapped around her waist
and pressed her close to a man's chest that seemed
made of cold marble, yet she was still alone in the
room. Zigor possessed strong telepathic skills.
Apparently he was powerful enough to enter her
mind without her realizing it until he began fondling
her in any way he saw fit. The unfamiliar sensation
of vulnerability tightened Mel's belly. She was a
fairly good telepath, but no match for him. Now
that he was in her head, there was no way to get
him out until he decided to leave.
"Good. You recognize your superior."
"Just as a telepath."
"You want to play. To tease me, but this isn't a
game, woman. It's life. Without each other's
blood, we cannot live. It is rare that a vampire
female comes to me. Most of them like to float in
the river of their power, fearful of giving that up
so that they can be filled with the joy only an
ancient vampire male can offer them. I can fill
you. Thick. Hard. Thrusting against every soft,
wet inch of your woman's flesh until you collapse
from passion."
Shit. This guy was good. Ripples of pleasure
coursed through her from head to toe, not only
due to the sound of his deep, testosterone
sparked voice, but because his telepathic fingers
were buried deep in her pussy while his thumb
circled her clit over and over.
"You want to share this with me. The scent of
your lust is heavy on the air. It's sharp and
strong, yet feminine. If your honey smells this
sweet, I long to taste it. I want to roll my tongue
inside you. My teeth ache to fondle your swollen
clit before I suck it and lave it until you burst like
a star at the end of its life. That end is good. It is
beautiful. Just as you will be."
"You want to kill me?"
"I will allow you to ask that question. Yes, I
want to kill you with passion and pleasure. When
it's over, you will be quite alive but forever
changed. Then and only then will I decide if you
may come to me again."

GUEST AUTHOR: LANI AAMES
How long have you been writing?
As long as I can remember. Writing with intent to publish,
about 7 years. I was first published in 2000.
What is your favorite romance sub-genre?
Historical romance and any time period paranormal.
Would you tell us about your latest book?
ETERNAL PASSION released in early June from Ellora's Cave.
Jo is waiting for her best friend and trying to ignore
the handsome stranger at the bar. She succeeds until her
ex-boyfriend comes in with his new girlfriend on his arm.
She doesn't want them to think she's sitting there all
alone, so she goes up to the handsome stranger and kisses
him, asking him to play along. He plays along quite
nicely. :) They are attracted to one another and spend the
night together. Next day, Jo finds out her best friend has
been killed, all of the blood drained from her body. When
Vincenz confesses to Jo he's a vampire, Jo assumes he
killed her friend. Now, Vincenz has to convince her he
didn't by finding out who the real killer is.
Would you give us a sneak peak of some of your upcoming
projects?
I have an Amber Kiss, GILLIAN'S ISLAND, coming out
September 1 from Amber Quill Press
GILLIAN'S ISLAND is a contemporary with paranormal
elements. Two couples are stranded on the deserted side
of an island when a storm capsizes their boat. Gillian's
ankle is hurt so she and Brandt remain behind while Paige
and Tony cross the island looking for help. Gillian and
Brandt use the time alone to explore their deepest desires
while Paige and Tony run into problems with their
relationship as well as the terrain. And with Gillian's
help, two lovers reunite after being separated for
centuries.
I have a novella, MOONSTONED, coming out in October from
Amber Quill Press as part of their new AmberPax. Five
novellas, written by various authors, on the same theme
are released at one time. They can be purchased separately
or all together at a discount. The first AmberPax theme
is "Creatures of the Night".
MOONSTONED is a contemporary werewolf romance. It's about
an ancient witch's curse and a moonstone necklace that
reunites a couple. (I'm in the processing of writing this
one now. It's difficult to say exactly what the story's
about. It's already taken a completely different turn
than when I started out! LOL)
My historical western, VALIANT, will be part of AmberPax
"Wanted: Dead or Alive" coming out in early 2005.
VALIANT has no paranormal elements. Quade has returned to
the town of Valiant, only to be arrested, convicted,
and sentenced to hang for the murder of his uncle.
Delaney has loved Quade since she was an adolescent and
has been waiting years for Quade to return. She believes
he didn't do it and sets out to prove it.
Interested readers can find out more about these at my
website.
I have several other projects lined up to work on the
rest of the year,including a story about a leprechaun
and an April Fool's story. I'm taking a break from
starting any new full-length novels and concentrating
on short stories and novellas for now.
I want to add that all of these are erotic romance.
That's what Lani writes. *g*
And I want to put in a plug for my Greek myth novel
IMMORTAL CONQUEST, writing as Lanette Curington. This
one has been on the backburner for several years. It is
almost completed, and I'm determined to finish it this
summer! The first few chapters can be read at my website.
To you, what makes a great romance hero?
To me a great romance hero is a man who is courageous
enough and tough enough to handle whatever situation
comes up, yet he's man enough to be
tender with the heroine.
If you could meet one of your characters, which one
would it be?
Out of all the characters I've ever written--J'Qhir
from STARKISSED, writing as Lanette Curington, and
available from Amber Quill Press. J'Qhir is an alien
who really looks like an alien. I like to say he's
upright, bipedal, with opposable thumbs, but he can't
pass for a human. LOL Even his...um, *equipment* is
different.
Out of the ones I've written as Lani Aames--Mace from
DESPERATE HEARTS. This is the only non-paranormal I
have published, so far. He's a man caught in a
difficult situation and tries to repair it by doing
the right thing, even at the cost of his own heart's
desire.
Do you have a website and/or email address where
readers can reach you?
Yes, I do. I can be reached at lani@laniaames.com and
my websites are http://www.laniaames.com and
Thank you, Lani!
You're welcome, Kate. It's been a pleasure. Thank you
for having me.
Excerpt from ETERNAL PASSION:
Before she could take a step, the front door swung
open and who should enter but Noah Blakely and his new
girlfriend, the bimbette he had dumped Jo for. It had
been six months...well, longer than that because he had
been seeing the bimbette on the side for who knew how
long. Jo had never asked and didn't want to know.
Secretly, she had hoped it wouldn't last, but they were
still together. Jo already knew this. In a town like
Shadow Valley, word would have reached her if they'd
split.
Even though Noah had been a jerk about the whole thing,
Jo couldn't help but think of all the plans they'd
made. They had wanted a spring wedding, three children
three years apart, and if they kept to a budget, they
could open their own business within five years.
After a time, she had come to realize that those were
*her* plans and Noah had just gone along with them. Why
had he pretended to share her dreams when all he
wanted was a blonde bimbette with dark roots and a bad
boob job on his arm?
The saddest part was that she hadn't bothered to move
on. It had hurt so badly, she never wanted to chance
being hurt again. Now, six months later, Noah was
enjoying his life, and Jo was stagnating in the past.
No man on her arm either.
She had been incredibly lucky up until now in that she
hadn't run into Noah. He had never liked Casey's and
felt that the establishment was beneath his station in
life. She should have known her luck would run out one
day. How could she walk across the room, knowing that
Noah and Bimbette would think she left because of them?
How could she move in any direction without drawing
attention to herself and the fact that she was alone?
Movement at the bar caught her eye. The hunk had stood
and set aside his half-filled glass.
Jo turned in his direction and plastered on a big
smile. She hurried to the end of the bar and when she
drew near, his black brows rose in question. He looked
startled. Next, he would look shocked. Laughter bubbled
up inside her. She had never done anything as impulsive
and daring as what she was about to do.
She threw her arms around him and leaned in close,
whispering in his ear."Play along, please. I'll explain
later."
Then she kissed him.
He might have been shocked, but he kissed her back.
Now, it was Jo's turn to be shocked. His lips willingly
slid over hers and his tongue delved between them,
sweeping through her mouth. He went above and beyond the
call of duty when his arms encircled her waist and his
hands slipped down the small of her back to cup her rear,
fingers pressing into her flesh. He drew her closer with
one sharp tug, her hips buffeting his,and she shuddered
at the intensity of her response.
Her body melded with his. She was all too aware of his
erection, hard and hot, pushing into her, seeking
entrance between her thighs. Jo felt as if he was making
love to her right there, in front of Noah and everybody,
through their clothing.

Hi, Everyone!
I hope you had a great month of August. The summer is
coming to a close and Autumn is on the way. I don't know
if any of you are like me, but Autumn is my favorite
month, mostly because my favorite holiday is Halloween.
In honor of Halloween, I will be planning a special contest
on my site, so watch out for that next month. I'll be sure to
include details in the next newsletter. Also in October, I
hope you can join me in this group's chat room on Saturday
October 2 from 9 pm to 10 pm EST for a Halloween chat.
Actually, we can talk about anything you want, not just
Halloween, but I'll be doing some Halloween giveaways during

NEW RELEASES
Blood and Soul 2: Vampire Crusader
With no law to govern the vampire world, Charles Free is a
self-appointed Crusader, sworn to fight evil among his own kind.
Known long ago as Sir Charles, the Handsome Giant, he was once
as proud of his appearance as he is of his honor. When an attack
by vampire hunters armed with special silver weapons causes
deformities even his power of regeneration cannot heal, Charles
chooses to simply disappear, rather than have the woman he loves
see his mutilated face.
Alone and heartbroken, Marie Connor wades through months of
depression, always hoping that one day Charles will come back to
her. When a friend drags her to a Halloween party, she meets a
masked stranger who reminds her too much of her missing lover. In
her heart, she knows this compelling man is Charles, but why the
charade? The answer to her question will only be found in his
arms during a night of scorching passion and dark confessions.

stranger she meets in an old cemetery is actually the murderer
she has been studying. Even worse, he has been sent to track
down a serial killer who is closer to her than she ever
imagined.
GUEST AUTHOR: ANGELIQUE ARMAE
What do you like best about writing romance novels?
I love the happy endings! What other career can you think of
that always has a happy ending to every project?
You've written many vampire stories. What appeals to you most
about vampire characters?
I love the dark, brooding character. There's something sexy about
a bad boy,especially a vampire. He's like an ultimate danger,
yet you know he has a warm heart, even if he doesn't always know
it :-) To me, vampires represent the dark side in all of us, the
tough facade on the outside, but the tender soul on the inside.
Would you tell us about your most recent release?
I have a short story, an erotica written under my pen name M.A.
duBarry. It's titled JUST DESSERTS and is about a Scottish
vampire and Viking princess. The story line takes place during
the dark ages and present day.
Would you tell us about some of your upcoming projects?
I have a six book vampire series coming from ImaJinn Books. The
series it titled NIGHTWATCH and it's co-written with award winning
author Candace Sams. I'll be doing the three historical novels and
Candace will be handling the three contemporary sequels. The
first two books of our series will be out sometime before the end
of this year.
To you, what makes a great romance hero?
My ultimate hero is a dark, dangerous man who isn't afraid to
stand up for what he believes in. But he also has to have a softer
side to him. He has to eventually come round to the heroine and he
most open his heart. I want the dark lord by day/out in the world
and the romantic guy at night/behind closed doors :-)
If you could meet one of your characters, which one would it be?
Actually, my favorite character comes from a book I haven't shopped
around yet. He's part Grigori angel and part mortal. His name is
Nicholai Valentine and I am absolutely in love with him. Haven't
decided if I want to share him with the rest of the world yet! As
an author, I get very protective of my heroes! Oh, I guess that's
not really fair to him, huh? OK, I'll shop him around real soon.
He's very dark and dangerous, but he's also been through a lot so
he needs a few readers to take him into their hearts.
Do you have a website and/or email address where readers can reach
you?
Absolutely and I love hearing from my fans!

The love making between these two is carnal, scorching the
pages, leaving you breathless and wanting.

beg my husband to come home from work early.
FOR CAPTIVE STALLION:
Hill's skill with uncommon characters and very human issues
shines in this very different romance.

EXCERPT FROM BLOOD AND SOUL 3: VAMPIRE GUARDIAN
Drawing a deep breath, Woodrow returned to his room. The woman,
halfway through the change, still lay on his bed. Cursing,
Woodrow walked to the bathroom to freshen the damp cloth for
her fever and found a note in Braille placed over the knob on
the sink.
Forgive me, Master, but I would be a bad mentor for her. You are
a better man than I am, and a better teacher than I will ever be.
Please take care of her until she is able to care for herself.
Hopefully, when and if we see each other again, youll no longer
want to stake me as Im sure you do now. Thank you from the
bottom of my heart. Herb.
No. Woodrow crumpled the note in his fist. No, no, no. You
useless brat, Herb! I wont do it. I will not do it. I owe that
woman nothing. I didnt fuck her. I didnt bite her. I certainly
didnt want to make her my companion for the next ten years. No.
Absolutely not.
Loud, agonized moans beckoned him from the bedroom.
Damn. Woodrow curled his lip and trudged back to his unwanted
charge. It was going to be a long, long night.
By the sounds of her moans and labored breathing, he knew she had
fallen off the bed and onto the floor. Within seconds, his cane
prodded her. Stooping, he tugged her into his arms. One of her
flailing hands struck him in the face, knocking off his dark
glasses. Her booted feet slammed into his hip and side. Tightening
his hold, he carried her to the bed and dumped her onto it. She
screamed, the piercing sound tearing through his sensitive ears.
If he didn't shut her up, she would disturb everyone at Burgundy
Peak. Clamping his hand over her mouth, he had no choice but to
cover her body with his to restrain her jerking limbs. Foamy saliva
seeped from her lips through his fingers. Her sweat drenched body
dampened his shirt, but at the moment he didn't care about the
disgust factor. Her scent was stronger than ever, as was her
heartbeat. It pounded so violently that he knew the complete change
was close at hand. These final moments would determine whether she
lived or died. If vampiric power had truly taken hold of her mortal
body, then she would endure the physical demands. If not, her heart
would give out and she would die a mortal death. Usually the
presence of one's creator played an important role in a new
vampire's survival. Their physical and spiritual link could somehow
reinforce the mortal's strength and keep her from slipping into
death. Herb hadn't known this woman well enough to forge such a
bond. He didn't care for her, therefore she was completely alone
during this difficult changeover.
Pity suddenly overwhelmed Woodrow. Whether he liked it or not, this
woman needed him. In spite of his better judgment, he could not
abandon her.
For what seemed like hours he held her body firmly in place. Her
every moan and shudder ripped through him.
Finally, she lay still.
Burying his face in the hollow of her neck, he closed his eyes. By
the sound of birds chirping in the church rafters across the street,
he knew it was dawn. The slow, strong beat of the woman's heart
filled him, and he actually smiled. Her scent was now distinctly
vampiric. If he could see, he knew her expression would be one of
peace, as she was lost in the deep, exhausted sleep that followed
the change.
For the first time, he became aware of her curves pressed intimately
against him. Her body was trim, yet her breasts were full and soft.
Their legs were entwined and their pelvises seemed to fit together
perfectly. Woodrow's cock stiffened where it nestled between their
bodies.
"God." He breathed, pushing himself off her and walking to the
bathroom. Peeling off his shirt, he dropped it in the hamper and
dampened another cloth. He returned to the woman and sat beside her,
cleaning dried sweat and spit from her face. When he finished washing
her, he gently ran his fingertips from her forehead to her chin. His
sensitive pads learned the shape of her features. He saw her through
his sense of touch and as he did, the oddest feeling tugged at his
heart. To him, she was beautiful. Her eyebrows were sleek, narrow,
and arched in the center. Her lashes were long and thick. In spite
of her full face, her cheekbones were prominent. Never had he felt
such soft, perfectly formed lips. Her short, snubbed nose tantalized
his fingertips. The sudden urge to kiss her nearly overwhelmed him.
"Crazy." He stood and returned to the bathroom. "She's just a child,
Woodrow. You need to find Herb so he can do his duty by her. She is
not yours to touch, kiss, or teach."
Stripping off the rest of his clothes, Woodrow turned on the shower
faucet and stepped beneath the steady stream of warm water. He
scrubbed her fluids from his skin, yet her scent seemed to have
become a part of him.

SAINT AUGUSTINE'S SILHOUETTES
SILVER CUFFS
Entrepreneur Pierce Durant is a scoundrel in every sense of
the word. With plans to bulldoze a mansion belonging to a
hero of the American Revolution, he doesn't hesitate in making
brash advances on a member of the local historical society
trying to save the house. Tabatha Lane isn't a woman lured by
wealth and handsome looks, especially if the man has no caring
in his heart. Whittle House is more than just rooms filled
with antiques. It holds the spirits of a courageous man-wolf
and the woman who loved him. Like the Patriot who owned it,
Whittle House will not go down without a fight!

fire slowly destroys the barrier that has kept them from
sharing their growing love and shielded them from realizing
their leaders' treachery and duplicity, they are united in
both their love and their hopes for the future.
GUEST AUTHOR R. CASTEEL
KH: What do you like best about writing romance novels?
RC: Wow! No foreplay! Nothing like starting out with a hard one...
I was referring to the question. What did you think I meant? Not
sure if I can answer this with a quickie because so many aspects
of writing, yes even the edits, are amazing. From the time a story
idea comes charging into your mind with no regards to what you may
or may not be working on at the time. To the characters who begin
to slowly reveal them selves to you and become so real you talk to
them as if they were. OR, how a story unfolds as I type, how the
characters interact and respond to each situation. Probably the
best and most amazing thrill of all is having someone say, "I read
your book (fill in any title), and I enjoyed it, loved it, etc...
very much."
KH: During your years in the Navy you must have traveled a lot. Do
you draw many of your ideas for book settings, etc. from places
you've visited?
RC: A couple books have: Both Crimson Rose & Mistress of Table Rock
were from my time on the USS Saipan, flag ship for the Second
Division Marines. This is the same division who was stationed in
Beirut Lebanon in 1983, and the same type of ship used in the final
chapters of Mistress of Table Rock. I tend to draw more on my
training and experiences.
KH: Would you tell us about your story in the Forever Midnight
anthology?
RC: Shadow Time Lover actually started out as a short, 5,000 word
story contest I did just for fun on Romance at Heart website. The
story grew from there. STL is set in Transylvania Mountains during
the mid 1300's. Those of you not up on your Romanian history might
be jumping to the wrong conclusion about the story. Here is a short
blurb,
A man by day and a beast by night Philip has roamed the mountains of
Romania for longer than he wants to remember. To break the witch's
curse and set him free, a virgin's blood must be shed upon the Rock
of Sacrifice. Will he ever find a woman with the courage to meet the
beast?
Zolona is the last of her father's daughters to remain a virgin and
the last hope for removing the curse from the land. Will her courage
hold when face to face with the beast? If, she survives, what will
become of her life?
Enter into the medieval world of lords and ladies, witch's curses,
deceit and lies. A time when the future is laid on the alter for a
chance to find happiness in the arms of her, Shadow-Time Lover.
KH: Would you tell us about some of your current and upcoming
projects?
RC: I have three or is it four? Let's see, Currently working on a
contemporary ghost story set around Chicago; a contemp set again in
South Missouri this time with a ex biker turned lawman, a hot biker
mama, and a motor cycle gang out for revenge; a western set in 1860
Colorado gold fields; and yes there is still the sequel to Taneika,
Daughter of the Wolf. Kat and her sister from Tail of the Tiger, may
show up again in a science fiction adventure I have had on the back
burner for over a year. Damn, that's FIVE!
KH: To you, what makes a great romance hero?
RC: That he makes it to the end of the book alive.
KH: How about a great romance heroine?
RC: Now there is a LOADED question if I ever saw one.
KH: If you could meet one of your characters, which one would it be?
RC: They are all so real to me now, who's to say I haven't met them
already? But I would like to know just why it took so long for one of
my heroines to have sex with the hero, just because he is four years
younger than she is. I want to tell her that she has been one sorry
pain in my butt.
KH: Do you have a website and/or email address where readers can
reach you?
RC: www.rcasteel.net
Thank you, Rod!
GUEST AUTHOR ELIZABETH JEWELL
KH: What do you like best about writing romance novels?
EJ: I always enjoy capturing that unique energy that comes from two
people coming together for the first time, discovering the *one*
that makes his or her world more whole. Also, the underlying
constant theme that love can conquer all.
KH: Your story in Forever Midnight from Ellora's cave involves a
shapeshifter and you have a new vampire series at Changeling Press.
What do you like most about writing paranormal romances?
EJ: The wideness and variety of the palette. The paranormal genre
allows for such a wide gamut of unique stories, and if you set
things up right, you can do darn near anything. Also, I think
metaphorical elements are more easily explorable in paranormal,
again because of the sheer weirdness of the kinds of things you
can do.
KH: Would you tell us about your story in the Forever Midnight
anthology?
EJ: "A Matter of Duty" is a sequel to the story "A Matter of Faces,"
which was my very first Ellora's Cave release, in the anthology
"Shifting Faces." It's about Trey, a shapeshifter who can take on
any human form of either gender, and his lover Piper, who are about
to face one of the challenges of being a "mixed" couple--Trey's
obligation to reproduce with another shapeshifter.
KH: Would you tell us about some of your current and upcoming
projects?
EJ: The second volume in my "Dark Callings" series at Changeling,
"Dark Callings II: Inamorata," was released on September 17th. That
series continues, and I'm not sure what else I have in the wings at
the moment. Stay tuned.
KH: To you, what makes a great romance hero?
EJ:I like a strong hero who's willing to give way for the heroine,
who's not rigid or controlling, but who has a more subtle masculine
power. I don't care for the archetypical "alpha" hero--I'm more
interested in a sort of alpha-beta-gamma combo package.
KH: How about a great romance heroine?
EJ: I prefer heroines who are strong, willing to stand up for
themselves, and who can, if necessary, pull the hero's nuts out of
the fire. She's not whiny or indecisive, and she's at least as
strong emotionally as the hero.
KH: If you could meet one of your characters, which one would it be?
EJ: Probably David Frasier, from Lady of the Seals. I have a soft
spot for him for some reason.
KH: Do you have a website and/or email address where readers can reach
you?
EJ: http://elizabethjewell.kabeka.com
Thank you, Elizabeth!
EXCERPT FROM ELIZABETH JEWELL'S A MATTER OF DUTY FROM THE FOREVER
MIDNIGHT ANTHOLOGY COMING SOON FROM http://www.ellorascave.com
He cupped her breast, his thumb pressing gently into her nipple,
rolling it. Heat burgeoned in her at the touch. She shivered, warm,
slick heat growing between her legs. She opened under him, embracing
him with her legs. He settled down between her thighs, the hard ridge
of his erection rubbing into her. God, but she wanted him inside.
Now. Hard and fast.
Bending his head, he tongued her nipple, toying with the erect bud,
scraping it gently with his teeth. He kissed down the side of her
breast, to the valley between, then back up, until his tongue touched
the other nipple. She closed her eyes as his tongue curled around her,
feeling the soft friction, the slightly rough texture of his tongue.
He sucked, laved, and fire flooded her, shooting down her body,
straight to her groin. She pulsed there, her labia thick and heavy,
her sex opening, ready. So hot, so deep
He lifted his head from her breast and lifted himself over her, his
tongue trailing up her neck, over her chin. His lips brushed hers,
ever so lightly. At the same time, his hand slipped down her stomach,
moving her nightgown out of the way, his fingers moving under the
elastic of her panties. She pushed up toward him, drawing his fingers
down, almost into her. He opened his eyes, sapphire glinting from
between golden lashes. A smile curved his mouth.
I want you, she murmured. You.
He smiled a little. She knew she perplexed him in her insistence that
he maintain his usual form when they made love. He could be anyonethe
Hollywood hunk du jour, her greatest fantasy, the man shed had a crush
on in college He didnt understand why she so rarely took advantage
of that.
She wasnt even sure she could have given him a coherent answer, if he
ever came out and asked. It seemed wrong to her, though, to want this
man and that man, and not the manthe face he chose to present to the
worldwhen they shared these intimate moments. It was like cheating on
him. Except with him
No point puzzling it all out, because it would never make any sense.
Instead she closed her eyes and reveled in the sensation of his
fingers gently invading her, separating the lips of her sex, dipping
into the deep, hot core of her. She pushed her hips against him,
drawing his fingers inside her. He put an arm around her shoulders and
held her against him as she rode his hand, pounding herself down on
him. He added a third finger, filling her deeply. Fire flooded her;
he curled the tips of his fingers just so, finding the exact place
inside her that made her entire body fill with harsh stilettos of
desire.
Trey she managed, but even the single syllable was lost
as her body suddenly clenched, leapt, then flew, orgasm ripping through
her from cunt to fingertips. She let out a deep, ragged moan.
EXCERPT FROM SILVER CUFFS BY KATE HILL (FROM THE FOREVER MIDNIGHT ANTHOLOGY)
The wolf growled, his eyes blazing and his teeth gnashing the cold night air.
Ice and snow flew beneath his paws. His heart throbbed with the insatiable
need for vengeance.
Another more foreign emotion pulsed through him. Fear.
A shot exploded. The wolf shrieked as pain ripped through his shoulder. With
a mighty lunge, he pounced on the cloaked, muskettoting man fleeing in the
distance.
The wolf dragged the man onto his back and placed his paws on the heaving
chest. Savage eyes stared into his captives terrified blue ones. Unable to
speak in words, the beasts look demanded its desire. Where is she?
I dont have her, you evil bastard. Look for Stratford. Hes the one you
want, the man bellowed.
The scents of other people filled the air. Hoofbeats thudded across the
snow-packed countryside.
Then he caught it. Her scent. Turning in the direction of the woods, he saw
her.
The wolf left his captive panting in the snow and raced for the dark-haired,
brown-eyed woman. As she ran for him, a storm of bullets pierced the night.
The wolfs high-pitched cries of agony stunned his attackers. Those shrieks
were far too human.
Gunfire ceased. The white snow beneath the gasping wolf turned red with
blood and his vision blackened.
No, no, no, she cried, her hands caressing his face.
Opening his eyes halfway, the wolf saw through the dimness and blur of
impending death that her clothes were stained red.
He tried to speak, but the words would not come. Still, his emotions shone
in his eyes. I love you.
I love you, she cried and buried her face in his thickly-furred neck.
I love you.

BLOOD AND SOUL: NUTCRACKER
Only one woman has ever captured the heart of the ancient
vampire Onan. After she betrayed his trust, he vowed never to
forgive her. Elizabeth has always regretted hurting her beloved
master. Each Christmas she sends him a letter and a gift with
the hope that he will welcome her back, yet each year her peace
offering is ignored. This Christmas, however, Onan might just
surprise her.
GUEST AUTHOR SAPPHIRE WILLIAMS
KH: What is your favorite romance subgenre?
SW: I love historical romances, especially those set in Regency England
and Scotland. Im a big fan of paranormals and fantasies and contemporaries
basically, I love them all. Im not a big fan of sci-fi / futuristic or
horror, but anything else is right up my alley.
KH: Would you tell us about your latest book?
SW: My most recently released book is a short contemporary romance titled
Turning Thirty. An art gallery manager finds love with an artist. I wrote
this book in a very short time and was surprised that that word count was
so low. I usually dont write short books. ?
The next to be released later this month is the next in the Elemental
Wizards Series, Age of Air. Ciro has found his mate in Regency England but
Charis locked her heart away when her mother committed suicide after the
death of her father. She sees love as a weakness and vows never to give
anyone that much of her. Ciro has to break down those walls and teach her
that love isnt a weakness, its the greatest strength of them all.
KH: What inspired you to write your Elemental Wizards series?
SW: I have always been interested in magic and myths and while searching
through my filing cabinet, looking at ideas and books in progress, the
Wizards came to life in my mind. I dont know what really triggered it,
they were just suddenly there.
KH: Would you tell us about some of your current and upcoming projects?
SW: The next two books to be released after Elemental Wizards: Age of Air
is the last two books in the series, both due out next year. After I finish
those books, Ill be starting on the book that several people have asked
for. Laird Mackenzies Curse will have a book to follow it and while LMC
was originally meant to be a stand alone book, many people who read it
wanted there to be a follow up book. Ive had ideas for two more to come.
KH: To you, what makes a great romance hero?
SW: A strong and open heart. Ive read so many books where the hero takes
forever to fall in love and then admit that hes in love that I like
writing books where the hero falls fast and hard and forever.
KH: If you could meet one of your characters, which one would it be?
SW: If I could meet one of my characters it would have to be Logan
Mackenzie, the hero from Laird Mackenzies Curse. I have a special place
in my heart for Highlanders.
KH: Do you have a website and/or email address where readers can reach
you?
SW: My website is: http://users.adelphia.net/~pebbles122/ and I love
hearing from my fans and answer every email right away (when not on a
deadline) They can email me at Sapphire_Williams@hotmail.com
Thank you, Sapphire!

EXCERPT FROM BLOOD AND SOUL: NUTCRACKER
Onans heartbeat quickened when he saw the familiar writing on the red
envelope. It was December 23rd, and he thought for once Christmas would
pass without any contact from her. Strange that he was almost disappointed
that she might have forgotten him. Each year he ignored her letter and
never responded to the gift that always followed.
Drawing a deep breath, he stuffed the envelope between his other mail and
ascended the stairs to his suite above the club where he worked. Burgundy
Peak was a popular haven for vampires and Onan enjoyed his job as head of
security. The club would be opening soon, and he liked to be waiting in
the foyer when the first patrons stepped inside.
Upstairs, he walked to the end of the corridor and unlocked his door.
Though Onan possessed several homes throughout the world, he preferred
spending most of his time here in New York City. He certainly didnt need
the job, but he enjoyed the atmosphere and knew the exclusive club required
a security chief with a personal interest in the welfare of its owner and
patrons. His Master owned Burgundy Peak. He and Onan were as close as two
men could be without crossing the sexual line. They had been almost
inseparable for years, but Master Zigor had recently taken a wife. While
Onan was thoroughly pleased that his Master had found love, part of him
envied Zigors marriage. Watching the couple made him long for the only
woman he had ever truly loved.
Onan stepped into his suite and glanced around. While no vampires enjoyed
too much brightness, he preferred his surroundings darker than most. His
walls were painted deep green and the floor was of black tile. Several
statues from ancient Nubia adorned the shelves lining the far wall, yet
those reminders of his homeland didnt attract his attention. Four shelves
filled with other ornaments captured his interest instead. Everything on
those shelves had been made by the same woman whose letter he now avoided
reading. There were Christmas elves, miniature rocking horses carved out
of wood, and snowflakes of cut glass. She loved the Christmas season, and
when they had been a couple, her enthusiasm had infected him as well. Since
their split, his desire to celebrate the holidays faded more with each
passing season.
Tearing his gaze from the shelves, he walked to the kitchen table and
tossed the mail atop it. Curiosity about her letter ate at his gut. He got
as far as the corridor before he returned to his suite, snatched the red
envelope, and shoved it into the pocket of his trousers.

FOR VAMPIRE GUARDIAN
BLOOD AND SOUL 3: VAMPIRE GUARDIAN is a fantastic continuation in the
BLOOD AND SOUL series of vampire stories.
Kate Hill writes an intriguing and captivating addition to her Blood and
Soul series with VAMPIRE GUARDIAN. It's a red-hot, spine-tingling,
adrenaline rush that simply cannot be ignored.
The sex scenes are hot. Kate Hill has a knack for writing sexy vampires
who know what to do with their hands.
FOR HIS SISTER'S KISS FROM THE BY HONOR BOUND ANTHOLOGY
I finished it in record time staying up way past bedtime to finish it.
This story is definitely a keeper.

GUEST AUTHORS JACI AND CJ BURTON
KH: What inspired you to write TANGLED WEB together?
JB: Actually my readers were the inspiration. Since Charlie and I spend so
much time together and he helps me with plotting and editing of my books,
the readers asked if we'd co-write a book together.
CJB: Jaci had long been after me to co-author something with her and then
a bunch of the readers on her Paradise Group joined her in badgering me to
do it, so finally I said yes.
KH: What was the most difficult thing about co-writing a novel?
JB: Giving up part of the creative process to someone else. I wasn't used
to that, having wholly 'owned' my characters and their actions before.
CJB: I don't recall it being very difficult since we are always together.
Finding the time to work on it was probably the hardest part.
KH: What was the easiest thing?
JB: We're so in sync anyway that it was easy to let the story flow and the
characters behave naturally. We never fought about character motivation at
all.
CJB: Research ;P
KH: Would you tell us about TANGLED WEB?
JB: Tangled Web is a futuristic about a couple who meet via the internet.
In Earth's future, physical passion is forbidden, all sex taking place via
the internet. But when a government security specialist meets a rogue
hacker online, sparks fly and eventually that electricity between them just
has to be consummated in person.
CJB: Man/woman meet on internet have sex. Meet in person have better sex.
Run from aliens and hide out with intention of overthrowing them later.
KH: Would you tell us about what upcoming projects you have together and
individually?
JB: I'm still working on several series I have going, namely the Storms,
Devlins and the Kismet series. Together we hope to write a sequel to
Tangled Web next year
CJB: We will do at least one sequel to Tangled Web. I have no individual
projects planned and probably never will. You have to drag me kicking and
screaming to the computer to make me write anything more than nasty love
notes to Jaci.
KH: To you, what makes a great romance hero?
JB: He has to have inner strength, honor, integrity, and an all consuming
passion for the heroine. He also has to be strong enough to stand up to the
heroine if necessary. After all, what self-respecting heroine would want a
man who wimps out on her? ;)
CJB: Someone who is a man when it's necessary and is not afraid of a
woman's abilities to be a person too.
KH: How about what makes a great romance heroine?
JB: She has to love the hero and him only, has to be strong enough to stand
up to him, with goals and ambitions of her own. No wimps!
CJB: One who is her own person but not overbearing. Oh, and willing to be nasty don't hurt.
KH: Do you have a website and/or email address where readers can reach
you?
JB: my website is www.jaciburton.com my email is jaci@jaciburton.com
CJB: charlie@jaciburton.com or I can usually be found hanging out at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JaciBurtonsParadise/ pestering the readers
most days.
THANK YOU JACI AND CJ!

NEXT MONTH'S GUEST AUTHOR: LACEY SAVAGE
EXCERPT FROM BLOOD AND SOUL: INTIMATE RELATIONS
You lost a few things. He knelt beside her and dropped her clothes and
jewelry.
Thank you. Reaching into the yellow satin bag beside her, she removed a
handful of rose-scented incense and tossed it into the cauldron. The
aromatic burst stirred him. Her entire seduction act thrilled him. This
woman seemed to know exactly what he wanted, but why shouldnt she? Just
as he had spent his life mastering seduction, she had done the same. She
was too accustomed to being in control, and it was time she learned what
it was like to surrender.
Unlike most of the women he had been with, blatant force would not make
her bend, even if it meant giving up her chance for pleasure. Any man
could force a woman to submit using his superior physical strength or
mental abuse, but to make a woman surrender in a way that broke neither
her body nor spirit was an art so few ancients understood.
He stood above her, his gaze fixed on hers. In spite of her cool veneer,
lust glistened in her eyes. Her breasts swelled as she drew a deep breath.
Unzip me, he said.
She raised an eyebrow. Excuse me?
He smiled, and for several moments they stared at one another, a battle
of wills. Both of them wanted relief from the passion consuming them, but
neither was willing to make the first move. Thus far, Rolon had allowed
her to take the lead. Now it was his turn, and he would suffer with a
century long erection before giving in to her this time.
The slightest smile curved her pretty lips before she pushed herself to
her hands and knees and crawled toward him in a shockingly submissive
gesture. For a brief moment suspicion nearly overtook him, only to be
forgotten when she positioned herself in front of him and unbuttoned his
jeans, then used her teeth to tug down the zipper.

FOR Highland Stallion
If you love stories with tortured heroes and shape-shifters you must read
this one. I couldn't put it down.
Gold Star Award
For Demon Lover
Paranormal lovers will find this story an interesting tale sure to linger
in the mind long after you have finished it.
For many of us, Kate Hill is better known for her vampire paranormal,
fantasy, and romantic suspense stories, and Demon Lover turns out to be a
nice departure from her usual categories.
Tortured souls and true love abound as John and Corrine are swept up in a
story that has extremely dark undertones, but also gives the pleasure of a
happy ending.
For Forever Midnight
All these stories were great for their characters and storyline, and it was
an honor to read them.
