I have now released the fifth book in my vamp series and, despite some publishing issues, it is doing okay. Unfortunately, through some Amazon glitch, there isn't a look inside for the book. I'm working on getting that fixed, but I have no idea how long that would take. Until then, here is a little sneak peak into The Vamp and The Baby. This book contains M/M and F/F scenes. Excerpt...I startle at the gentle touch at my back. From the smooth fingers and the slight touch, I know who it is before I even turn to look at Becca. There are no words. I know she feels as I do. The magnitude of her decision encompasses the two of us. She takes me into her arms to offer comfort and I go. Even though I am so much older, it is Becca who wraps me in the comfort of her embrace and holds me. As we stand naked in the shower, it is not desire which binds us. It is everything we hold dear as women and our ability to embrace the future which connects us. It isn’t until I see the drops of red on Becca’s shoulder that I even know I have any tears left to fall. I thought they had dried up long ago when I became a vampire and discovered that children were no longer a part of my future. “It’s okay. Maybe you can’t get pregnant, but you can still be a mother someday. We can be a mother someday. Hybrid babies sound kind of bad ass, don’t you think? I think any hybrids we have will think having mothers like us is awesome.” I must look a sight to Becca with streaks of red running down my cheeks, but she doesn’t say a word. Our lips meet and all the banked desire I have for Becca comes forth. Our lips mate and we each struggle to grab hold of the other’s wet skin. Suddenly, tears are washed away and all that is left is sweet desire. Decisions don’t have to be made today. We have time. We have all the time in the world. As long as I have Becca with me, we can do anything. I trace Becca’s lips with my tongue and she opens for me. I sweep in, exploring the warmth of her mouth. Our tongues tangle and I draw hers into me. Even receded, my canines are sensitive and I shiver at the first delicate touch as she explores my mouth. She caresses the pointy tip of one of my fangs, pricking her tongue. The sweet, coppery taste of blood explodes on my tongue. I can feel the caress straight to my clit, stoking my desire. Becca is a gentle soul, filled with passion, and I give thanks that she is mine. I adore her passion, her giving nature, her love for me. I give that love back and I hope she knows how special she is to me. I worship her, tracing from her mouth to the pulse point in her neck with the soft touch of my lips as my hands roam her body, memorizing her delicate curves and the heat of her pussy. My fingers find her clit and I give back to her. I circle and caress it. Her hard little nub calls to me and I can’t help but tweak it, rub it, caress it. All the while, I suck on her pulse point at her neck. My tongue bathes the delicate skin, encouraging the flow of blood. Her heartbeat races, beating a fast rhythm, ramping up our desire for each other. Nothing can pull us apart. We are one with each other. I don’t want to end this too soon. I want to draw out the pleasure, but I need Becca inside me. I need her passion, her cries, her blood. As my fingers drive her mad with desire, taking her almost to the peak, I strike swiftly. My fangs sink into her beautiful neck, easing past the delicate skin to the pulsing vein just below the surface. Pick up The Vamp and The Baby today exclusively on Amazon.com and Kindle Unlimited.

I am in the midst of writing two 30,000 words projects for Camp NaNoWriMo. For anyone who hasn't ever heard of NaNoWriMo, it's the months during April, July, and November when writers from all over the world sit down and get serious about their writing. While things are a little more laid back during the camp months of April and July. November is when everyone attempts to write 50,000 words in only one month, from November 1 to November 30. During camp months, many writers work on editing as well as starting new projects. Goal range anywhere from hours editing to attempting the full 50,000 words that one would attempt in November. Me? Well, I've never won at NaNo, yet. I've attempted writing a 50,000-word project three times now and have failed every time. I still ended up with some pretty stellar writing projects and they will be published in the near future. However, that elusive goal of winning NaNoWriMo has so far escaped me. Things have changed a lot for me in the last year. I've gotten more serious about my writing. I've published some shorts to learn the publishing business on Amazon. All of my books are available through the Kindle Unlimited program which has been a huge help in exposure for my writing. The best part is my daily word count has increased with each project I've done. I outline more now than I have in past projects. It took me long enough to figure out an outlining method that actually works for my pantsing brain. How am I doing so far? While it's only four days into Camp NaNo, I have managed to surpass my targets of 2000 words every day. While I only have 50,000 words listed as my official target on my Camp NaNo profile, my actual target is 60,000 words. Because as I said earlier, I'm working on two 30,000 word projects. What are they you might ask? Mpregs. Yep, you read that correctly. I'm writing two Mpreg novellas. And, yes, I do intend on publishing them. I haven't figured out what pen name to use yet. When I figure it out, I'll let you know. I'll check in over the next month and let you know how the writing is going. In the meantime, I published a new book on Saturday, March 31. I thought I'd share a small excerpt from The Vamp and Her Master. The Vamp and Her Master Excerpt...The room is empty now and I feel unsure of myself. I look to my master, drinking in his almost too perfect features. His straight nose. His strong jaw. The scruff of beard which only highlights his jaw even more. He is a handsome devil, and I am reminded once again of what it feels like to be in his arms. To have his devotion as he makes love to me. I would do anything to have that again. If only he would tell me why he took away his affections to begin with. I sigh, not sure what to do as my master looks me over. Now, I am unsure of my choice of dress. It reveals more than it hides and I am keenly aware of my nakedness as I am judged from every angle by the one man whose opinion of me matters most. I stiffen as he traces a finger along one of the cut strips spread across my full buttocks. His finger grazes my skin, only briefly stopping at the place where my two full globes meet before moving to where the cut stops on the other side of my hip. It feels wonderful to have his hands on me again even as he teases my firm flesh. I tremble at the pleasure that floods my pussy from the touch of his finger alone. He steps around me to face me once more. His left brow lifts. “Is this dress meant to be worn in public?” His deep voice embraces me and sends shivers down my spine. How one man can seem so stern and warm at the same time, I have no idea. He is a man of contradictions. He is everything to me and nothing at all. He has been a father. A lover. Now, I can no longer discern what he is nor what I want from him. I thought I had finally found happiness in his absence. Only now, I am positive I will never be completely happy until he takes me into his arms again and stays there. If only I could convince him to stay, I would. “This Night Witch incident. Why did you not contact me when this happened?” “How did you….?” “You and I are connected, Georgie. You are mine. I will always know what is happening in your life.” “Master, please…” “Georgie.” His voice has a stern quality that brooks no resistance to his will. To argue with my master when he speaks in such a tone is not a wise move. I am a very wise woman, but it is hard to bite my quivering lip and not speak. “If this should happen again, you will tell me. If not, you will go over my knee. I do not appreciate being kept in the dark about such events.” “I handled it, master. The night witch will not be a problem for anyone ever again.” “That is not the point, Georgie. The point is I was not told.” There is a curious glow in his eyes and I swear I see a tenderness there, like in the old days. I look away, afraid to hope my master still cares for me. Like I still care for him. “Now. What is this thing you are wearing?” He studies my dress, from the strips of cut fabric across my breasts to the hem, which barely covers my dripping mons. Yes, it is dripping. To stand before my master affects me in this way. It always has. “It is a dress, Master.” My lips quirk before cowering under the stern look of the man before me. One look from him speaks volumes and I listen, the smile leaving my lips before it even appears. “I can see that.” He turns and grabs a chair, placing it in the center of the now abandoned dance floor. I swallow as he sits and makes himself comfortable, his legs spread. I remember this position all too well. It has been over twenty years since I have seen my master in this way. Yet time stands still for a moment as the memories swallow me. Images of me draped across those firm thighs as his strong hand left stinging bites on the tender flesh of my buttocks and thighs. Pick up The Vamp and Her Master today exclusively on Amazon.com and Kindle Unlimited. I still don't have a complete handle on publishing on Amazon yet. Every new title is an adventure and something always goes wrong. I published Bound to Her Alien Mate a couple of weeks ago and it still doesn't have a page count. I'm not too worried as I put what the word count is in the description. However, I'm surprised at the number of things that can go wrong when you publish a title. With this new title, I played with the Look Inside feature to see if I could show more of the good stuff. I put an excerpt at the beginning of the book this time. It looks pretty good. I thought I'd showcase that excerpt here. Bound to Her Alien Mate: Katia's Group Bonding Adventure Excerpt: I glanced up at Kalix, at his expression while looking at his bond-brothers, and I knew this was my life. I wanted to grab hold of it with both hands. I wanted Kalix and I wanted his family. I wanted his devotion as much as I wanted to devote myself to him. My mate looked at me and it surprised me to see his expression never changed. He looked at me with the same expression of love and reverence as when he looked at his bond-brothers. I smiled, happy for the first time in a very long time. I leaned up and kissed my mate. I became the aggressor for a few short minutes as my lips attacked his. My tongue swiped across his lips and he opened them for me. I swooped in with my tongue, mapping his teeth. He had wickedly long canines. Kalix broke his mouth away from mine, trailing blazing hot kisses down my jaw, across my throat, down my chest to stop at breasts. They were tight and full, the nipples turgid little nubs, desperate for the feel of a hot wet mouth to devour them. Kalix didn’t disappoint as his mouth closed over one tight nub. I don’t know how he didn’t puncture me with those sharp teeth but he didn’t. Then, one of his bond-brothers was there and his mouth devoured my other nipple. The heat that flared through me as I watched these two males nibbling on my flesh startled me. Their heads bumped together a little as they adjusted their mouths or flicked their tongues against my skin. It was hot as fuck. I couldn’t believe I was letting this happen. I had a brief moment where I thought I should leave the room. This wasn’t what I signed on for when I agreed to be a mate to Kalix. The thought disappeared as I felt a warm body against my back. I knelt there accepting the mouths on my skin, reveling in their worship of me. End Excerpt I surprised myself with this book. I really enjoyed writing an orgy scene and I admit to getting a little carried away with it. It's true! I suck at writing blog posts. You would think blogging would be easy for a writer. If it were just the writing, it probably would be. What no one tells you about blogging is that you have to figure out how to find the time to sit in the chair and just think about what to write. Things that don't have anything to do with the fictional part of your life.
I have no clue what the people who don't read my blog would want to read about my life or my writing. I just like to write my little stories and be on my merry little way. I have no blog readers so deciding what to write is even harder. This isn't a bid for sympathy. I'm not saying, "Oh, hey, I have no readers. Woe is me so please come read my blog." That isn't what this is. I'm not sure I actually want blog readers. Sure, I want people to buy and read my books. That is a whole different kettle of fish. I put my heart and soul into the words that wind up on the pages of those books. I think about a story for weeks or months before I even start writing the words that end up in the book. But, blogging? That isn't about creating a story I love or creating characters I want to be friends with. Or, hell, even creating characters I want to hate. It's about sitting at the computer and trying to relate to people I can't see. People I don't know who might someday read my words and hope for some insight I don't think I have. Blogging is about sharing my process. Sharing my inspiration. Sharing how the heck I create my characters. Honestly, sometimes, I don't even know how I do that. It just happens. I never know what to blog about that might entice readers to visit my little blog in hopes someone might actually click on the link to buy one of my books. How's that for honesty? So, phantom readers, I'm sorry I'm such a shit at this whole blogging thing. I'll try to do better at figuring out what to say in my future rambling musings that is my blog. Maybe someday I'll actually figure out what readers might want to read. And then, you know, get some. Readers, that is. Oh, I have a new erotic short out. It's called Bound to Her Alien Mate: Katia's Group Bonding Adventure. I took up the challenge to write an orgy short. So, obviously, I had to write about aliens. I have no clue why. It's just how my mind works. Handsome purple aliens who bond with each other as well as with their mates sounded like a really great premise for a story to me. I wrote my first M/M scene as seen through the eyes of my heroine. I'll admit this story got my engines going it was that hot. So, if you like male/male action as well as reading about one girl who takes on three hot alien studs, this book might just be the thing you want to read. Did I mention there is this alien girl with a tail? I can't even believe I went there but I did. I was in the middle of writing book 2 of my erotic paranormal series about a bisexual vamp when I started hearing the term Reverse Harem. I ignored it at first. I didn't know what the heck a Reverse Harem was, but I didn't think it had anything to do with my writing. I wasn't planning to have any harems in any of my books. Why would I? The stories I like to write don't include harems. At least, I didn't think they did.
Then, I read an explanation of what a Reverse Harem actually is. Mainly, that it is one woman surrounded by a horde of men who think she is the best thing to happen to them. They are all willing to share her. Okay, yeah, I could see that. It sounded strangely familiar. At the heart of my series, I had a female character who was going to end up with a small horde of lovers who all think she hung the moon. Only, not all of the horde in my book were men. So, maybe not. Is there room in the Reverse Harem world for a bisexual vamp who loves both men and women? I'm not sure. I hope so. So, what is my series about anyway? Well, other than sex? Because, let me be honest, this series started as an attempt to write erotica. I'll admit I needed the practice with my love scenes. I needed practice writing words like cock, dick, pussy, and muff because those words aren't part of my every day life. Those words make me nervous. I can't even say them without blushing. I love reading erotica though. It's one of my favorite genres. Once I found books with bedrooms doors wide open, I thought it was the best thing ever. Reading them and writing them are two completely different pastimes. I admit my first efforts at writing erotic scenes were rather bland. There was something lacking in the words I wrote. They did not get me excited. I definitely needed practice. Out of this desire to get better with sex scenes, popped up this incredibly sexy, female vampire who I immediately loved. She was bold, sexy, and loved both men and women. After living for over a hundred years, she was ready to settle down. But, can a vamp that old settle down with only one person? There are all kinds of roadblocks to a relationship with someone that old who might well live for another hundred years. So my main character manages to fall in love with more than one character and doesn't want to choose. Spoiler alert: She doesn't have to choose. She can keep them all. And, she does. Book 2 in the Crimson Oasis series, The Vamp and Her Pixie is out now. We met the pixie in book 1 when the Vamp chose Logan instead of Becca. A move she regrets. But, is it a Reverse Harem? I don't know. The Vamp and Her Pixie is straight on lesbian love and I'm not ashamed to admit that I think it's pretty hot. Does having one female in the horde of males make my series not a Reverse Harem? I don't know. I suppose that's up to the readers to decide if I manage to get any. I submitted my first book to Amazon on December 28. It is an erotic paranormal short, only about 5000k words. My female main character is one who has been living in my head for a little while now. I love vampire stories. I've been in love with vampires since watching my first old Dracula movie. It starred Bela Lugosi. He had me hooked from the opening scene. Enough that I had to go track down Dracula by Bram Stoker.
While I love the traditional male vampire, a strong female vampire is one who had been whispering in my head. She wanted her story told. To heck with those broody men in the tradition vampire stories. So, who is this female heroine of mine? Her name is Georgiana and she was born in London's East End during the Victorian Era in the late 1800s. She was an orphan by the time she was sixteen and managed to get work as a scullery maid. Fast forward to the present day, Georgiana owns a night club and vampires aren't hiding in the shadows. They are hanging out at clubs like the Crimson Oasis. What makes my character unusual? For one she's bisexual. I recently read a thing somewhere that quoted Alan Ball saying all vampires are bisexual. First, I have no idea who Alan Ball is. I take it he's some director. But, I agree with him. Vampires are bisexual. They almost have to be to survive. I admit I like that idea. As a heterosexual woman, maybe I shouldn't admit to enjoying erotica. Well, I'm strange. I do love erotica. I don't just love M/F erotica though. I love all kinds. I love reading stories with M/F, FF, MM, MMF, and FFM. I'm not sure that last one is actually a thing, but if it isn't, it should be. So, when I had a character popping into my head who insisted she was bisexual, I went with it. She knows her own mind and I'm going to let her tell me what stories she wants to share. And, if anyone wants to read them, all the better. So, does this first story showcase her bisexuality? I don't know. I simply wrote the story the way it should be written. I think it shows that Georgiana is bisexual in a very tasteful way. I'm sure I'll get some flack that the person she ends up with at the end is a male character. How can I do that? I'm sure people are thinking that Georgiana should have hooked up with a girl. Well, perhaps. But, she didn't. I wrote the story that had to be written. Will she hook up with a girl? You betcha. Georgiana is at a point in her life where she is ready to build a family. She needs a close circle of friends and lovers with whom she can be herself. Book 1 was just the first step on Georgiana's journey to building her family. It might end up being an unusual family. Who cares. It's her story. It will be the one that finally allows Georgiana to become the person she needs to be in the end. Do you want to read Georgiana's first story? The Vamp and Her Stud is available now exclusively on Amazon. It is also enrolled in Kindle Unlimited. As a special celebration for New Year's Day, I'll be running Free Promo. The Vamp and Her Stud will be available for free download on January 1 and January 2, 2018. |
