Shadows Mark by Nicole Morgan
International Bestselling Author

Save girl. Get girl. Prepare for battle…

Shadows Mark

by

Nicole Morgan
International Bestselling Author

@AuthorNicMorgan








Brett Hargrove

was a loner and stayed beneath the radar just like most of his clan as they

moved from town to town every few years. He tried his best to live a simple

life, as much as a vampire could anyway.
Jamie Paulson was

barely out of high school when she’d met the dark and dangerous, Gary. Since

then he’d spent the years tormenting her and breaking every part of her soul.

 

When Brett learns of the

abuse that a member of their clan has inflicted on one of their own, he steps

up to be the vulnerable woman’s protector. Though Gary has no intention of

letting Jamie go. And Brett soon realizes that a battle for the woman and their

very lives may be the only way they can truly be free.

 

 

She hesitated when he

pulled her closer, unsure of what may happen next. Everything about him seemed

dangerous. His eyes reminded her of the icy blue waters of Alaska. Dark in some

places, yet crystal clear in others. There was something hypnotizing about them.

It was the way that they stayed on her, never glancing away for even a second

as he pierced her with his gaze.
Though he dressed

normal, from his jeans to his t-shirt, she knew there was absolutely nothing

ordinary about him. He was exactly the type of boy that her parents had warned

her of. Good looking, and with an intense glare. It was obvious that he had a

penchant for being bad, yet even knowing that she couldn’t seem to help

herself. She was drawn to him. Like a moth to the flame, she couldn’t run away

from him if she’d wanted to.
He hooked his fingers

through the belt loops of her jeans and pressed their bodies firmly against one

another. Her heart skipped a beat and warmth filled her entire body. She

wondered what this visceral reaction to him meant. Was she finally experiencing

what all her friends in high school had been talking about? Was this lust? Was

it desire? Was it wrong?
So many questions ran

through her mind while she tried to gain control of her overwhelming emotions.

This wasn’t like her. She had always been such a good girl. She’d always

listened to her parents, stayed out of trouble, abided by their rules and

studied hard for those college entrance exams.
None of those things

that had shaped the nearly eightteen years of her life seemed to matter in that

moment. All she cared about were the thick pouty lips of the boy who stood mere

inches from her.
Kiss me! She cried

silently, knowing that only she could know the depths of her desperation.
There was something

happening to her that she couldn’t explain. Her body felt like she had been set

ablaze. Unconsciously, she pressed herself further into his body.
She wasn’t sure who

was more surprised by her actions, him or her. Still, the way he kept his gaze

on her was driving her mad.
“Relax.” He whispered.


“I’m sorry. I’ve…

never been with a boy like this.”
“Never?”
She watched while his

lips curved up in a devilish grin. There was something about him that she

couldn’t resist. And she wasn’t even sure that she wanted to.
“It’s gonna be okay.”
He may have been

trying to assure her, but she wasn’t sure she believed him. Her body told her

to ignore her mind, but her thoughts were fighting back with logic and reason.
A little voice inside

of her told her to run fast and far away from him before it was too late, but

she didn’t. She stayed there, their bodies close, her pulse racing and not a

clue what she should do.
“What’s happening to

me?” she asked.
“Something

incredible.”
Maybe it was in the

way that he said it, or the half threat, half promise that seemed to be a part

of his words.
Whatever it was, she

knew there was no way out. She was trapped, thoroughly ensnared in his hold

just like a spider to a fly.
“Why do I feel

scared?” her question surprised even her. She hadn’t meant to ask him, but the

words came out of their own volition.
“Don’t be scared.”
“I’m trying not to be.

I’ve just never felt like this before.”
“It’s okay. I

understand.” He drew in a deep breath and continued, “You want to be with me,

don’t you?”
She couldn’t manage a

verbal response, so she nodded in response.
“Good. Very good,

Jamie. Because I’m going to make that happen. I’ll see to it you’ll never be

able to leave me. Ever.”
Running his hands

along the sides of her hips and up to the outer swell of her breasts, he made

his move. She stood frozen as he closed the small distance between them, only

her lips parting ever so slightly as she waited for his kiss that never came.
Dipping his head down

to the shallow part between her neck and shoulder, his breath burned her

already heated skin.
She closed her eyes,

expecting to feel the warmth of his mouth, and a gentle tease of his tongue.

Instead of feeling such pleasure, her eyes opened wide. Shock and fear filled

her all at once when she felt the stabbing agony of something sharp cut through

her skin.
For reasons

unbeknownst to her, she held onto him as the pain continued to run through her

body. A hot and sticky sensation coated the side of her neck and spilled down

into her bra.
Her mind swam with

thoughts of confusion and an unfamiliar sense of euphoria. Lightheaded and

weak, she sensed as she was about to drift away and forced herself to hold onto

him tighter.
Gary, what is

happening to me?
She asked the

question, but no sounds came from her. Alone within her own mind and unable to

utter a word, she let the veil of sleep take her while wondering if she’d ever

wake again.

 

Who I am 
I’m a chaotic mess who works best when a million things

are going on. I try my best to have structure and stay organized but, you know

what they say about best laid plans. LOL.
 
What genres I write in
It’s really a mixed bag of sorts. I’ve written everything

from suspense, to paranormal and even the lighter side of BDSM. One thing you

can almost always count on me for though is a certain level of steam.
 
Favorite genres to read
I read like I write, but still tend to lean more toward

suspense, especially military related ones.
 
Favorite TV shows
If it’s on Investigation Discovery, then I’m watching it.

LOL. But I do also have a hankering for paranormal shows and, wait for it…

Project Runway!
 
Last movie I saw on the big screen
Bad Moms. It was on a date with a really sweet guy and we

both kept wondering why the commercials looked far more funny than the actual

movie itself. LOL
 
What’s on my Netflix list (to be watched)
I’m still living under the illusion that I’ll wake up one

day and find out that The Following (with Kevin Bacon) actually didn’t get

cancelled and I’ll be able to watch a new season. Though that hope is fading

every day.
 
Coffee or Tea
OMG. Coffee! Specifically Caramel Macchiato with an extra

shot of espresso.
 
Chocolate or Caramel
Umm… Caramel! Is that even a question? LOL
 
Apple Cider or Pumpkin Spice
Eww… did you not read the above question? It’s Caramel…

the answer is ALWAYS caramel! *winks*
 
Rock N Roll or Country
Both, but classic rock can never be matched!
 
Lumberjack or Police Officer
That’s not even a fair choice. I shouldn’t have to

choose. I’m single… I say both! LOL.
 
Tropical Island or Winter Cabin
Again, this constant making me choose just one thing is

not fair. I say Tropical Island in the winter months and Colorado Cabin in the

spring and summer! If I’m going to fantasize, I’m going to do it right!

Thanks for having me today! Happy reading everyone!
~ Nicole Morgan   

 

Nicole

Morgan has been writing since 2009 and is an author of erotic romance novels,

which more often than not have a suspenseful back story. Erotic romance mixed

with good old-fashioned whodunit. While she’s written everything from contemporary

to paranormal, and his dipped her feet in just about every genre, her leading

men will more than likely be wearing a uniform of some kind. From military to

police officers, she has a love for writing about those who protect and serve.

And while it all began with her very first novel (which turned into a four book

series) about Navy SEALs, that trend has continued throughout the years in her

more recent releases. One thing that you can always count on will be that

you’re sure to find a few twists and turns you were not expecting.

 

Nicole

also writes under the pen names of Taylor Brooks and Nicki Day.

Shifting Scales by Decadent Kane
International Bestselling Author

Stolen dragon scales, a mob boss, and seductive Siberian male…Nova had her hands full.

Shifting Scales

(Siberian Paradox)

by

Decadent Kane

International Bestselling Author

@DecadentKane 

After Grigori’s dragon scales are stolen, he catches a lead in Paradox City. The culprit? A sassy little thing who masquerades as him to make a sale! He might have found that adorable if she hadn’t taken his dragon powers too. Intrigued by the female’s abilities, Grigori set his sight on claiming what is rightfully his, and in the process, the female just might find her way to her knees.

Nova brokers deals on the black market. She doesn’t ask what the products are and she usually doesn’t care, not until her brother gets involved with Faceless, a mob boss. Toss in a dragon shifter searching for his stolen scales and Nova finds herself knee deep in trouble. When that sexy dragon barges his way into Nova’s life, she refuses to give in to his demands… well, at least she tries to tell herself that. She doesn’t expect Grigori to awaken a side of her she’d only ever thought about in the dark of night… an urge to submit she thought she could live without.


 

 

Nova sighed and hailed

a cab. Crap. Close quarters in a car with—was he a Russian dragon? She wasn’t

sure. But he had to be something from a manly culture. The way he’d taken over

the scene, like he owned the place. Nothing phased him. But he phased her. The

cab pulled up to the curb and she slid in, all the way over to the far side, as

far away from him as she could possibly get.
Grigori’s form barely

fit inside the cab. He managed to make the seat look small and took up so much

space she knew she was doomed. Nova looked out the window to avoid staring at

him or would it be ogling?
“Where to?”

the male driver asked. Grigori growled beside her.
“Take us to the

Eclipse restaurant.” She didn’t look at the driver, but kept watching out

the window as buildings passed. They blurred as she tried not to acknowledge

the heat coming off the man beside her. She could feel his eyes on her. She

wanted to look at him, but refused to allow herself. Instead, she crossed her

arms over her chest. Her entire body sat rigid. If she moved, she might bump

him, since he took up so much space.
The cab turned onto

Fates Bridge. The sun sparkled through the glass, warming the inside of the

cab. Nova didn’t budge and tried not to breathe deeply. The silence lengthened

between them and it was driving her mad. Why didn’t he say something? What did

she expect him to say? Instead of waiting for him to speak, Nova blurted,

“What’s the bond you were talking about?”
“Look at me when

you speak to me.” His accent was heavy.
Nova’s heart thundered

in her chest so hard she was sure he could hear it with his dragon powers. She

took a deep breath, mustering the courage to turn to him. Some part of her knew

those eyes would see everything, that they wanted to see everything.

Technically, she already asked and didn’t need to say something else, so she

kept her eyes focused out the window. What if he chose not to answer? Steeling

herself, Nova would just have to handle the silence. It was better than being

alone in the dark.
The silence stretched

out again as they moved farther into the inner parts of Paradox City. She was

pretty sure Grigori hadn’t stopped staring at her. She shifted her shoulders.

His fingers slipped around her chin and moved her head toward him. Surprised by

his gentle touch, she didn’t stop him. His hard glare met her eyes and she

nearly whimpered. But the sound would never escape her lips no matter what he

did. Nova swallowed the anxiety—no, not anxiety but excitement. She grabbed his

wrist but he didn’t let her chin loose. He hadn’t hurt her, wasn’t causing any

pain, but his grip was firm. She could feel the calluses on his hand, the hair

on his arm.
“Ask me

again.” He demanded it of her and want seared through her body like fire.

 

 

I’m Decadent Kane and I

write paranormal romance with elves, demons, shades, and recently dragons. I

started my career on a dare and of course I couldn’t turn the dare down, so

here I am. The dare was simple: Write a story involving Santas’s elves, a spy,

and include the sexy heat. Who could pass this up? I took it and ran with it

and my elves were born.

How long have you been

a writer and how did you come to writing?
I’ve been writing

since I was a kid, most of us have. My family are a creative bunch and mine

just comes out in the written word as well as crafting. I’ve been writing

professionally though since 2013.
 
How did you come up

with this storyline?
Shifting Scales story

line came from a writing prompt I had done several months ago. It was just 1k

words- the start of the story actually- and then when I reread it it seemed

like something that would fit into my Siberian paradox series that I wanted to

start- so I jumped in feet first and ran with it, and dragons came out!    
       
What are the best and

the worst aspects of writing?
The best aspects of

writing is when the words just flow…I start a timer and let it all go and

pretty soon I have a story and characters have taken over the page. I have to

reread it just to see what I wrote and I love that feeling- that inspired

happiness of creation.


The worst aspect of writing- in general blurbs and titles…lol professionally I

think marketing is a downside to being a professional author as it sucks up a

great deal of time for the author, instead of writing.
 
What inspires you to

write?
Many things, pictures,

words, my imagination, and sometimes a character wakes me up in the middle of

the night.
 
How did you conduct

your research for Shifting Scales?
I started by looking

up Siberia, as I needed a starting point for this story because it will be the

prequel to the Siberian Paradox series. I went from there, and because Siberia

has so much mystery around it- including it’s name- it seemed like a wonderful

place to create a world of my design. It has such an open ended design that

other than some Russian words and cultural stuff, I have free reign.
 
What is 1 of your favorite

quotes from Shifting Scales?
“Ask me

again.” He demanded it of her and want seared through her body like fire.

What do you do when

you don’t write? Like in “Real Life”
I love to craft, I

work with clay and create dragons, fairies, and elves.

Thanks for taking the

time to get to know a little about me and my new story! I truly hope my

readers, and new readers, will enjoy my Siberian dragon Grigori…

 Dark Verité
by
Muffy Wilson
@SexyMuffyWilson



Verité, heir apparent in royal lineage and whose ascension comes at a time of other impending stipulations, was unable until to assume her rite of passage to the throne until she found the perfect mate. Secret stipulations to her royal ascension detailed in the Royal Grail would only be revealed to the Princess when the time came. She was chartered by her father, who was unable to give Verité counsel, to find the man that would share her life, her future and her bed…but not the throne.
Failure to do so doomed the coterie.
Rockledge, a prince and royal protector of his father, the King and his older brother who was heir apparent, fought with strength against those that threatened silently to take everything by deceit and trickery from his family.
Verité woke in the blazing sun on the royal sands of the beach on a distant shore that Rockledge, who discovered her sleeping, protected.
I was born when we kissed; I lived in your embrace while we loved. I died when we parted.
Would they fight, side-by-side, to the death defending all that they loved and cherished? Or would they seize their rite of passage, rise to the ascension of royalty themselves bound by danger, loyalty and love?
 

 

“This is yours to determine, my child. But, I have

faith in the stellar qualities you possess and your teaching. You have studied

hard, learned long and steady. And above all other, you place the wellbeing of

the coterie. We must prevail to propagate. We must do our duty to protect our

cluster clan.”
“Yes, Father, I have always known that if I must pay

with my life to preserve the dominion, then I would be so directed to fight to

the death.”
“This is that time.”
Involuntarily, I rose to my feet with the dust devils

dancing in the sunbeams. My head remained downcast. This was a solemn occasion,

no doubt.
“Yes, Royal Father.”
I lifted my gaze as I said his name and locked my eyes

on his.
“I know only little, from the history the Queen Mother

imparted to me when you were born, that you must travel from here to find your

mate before you are in the Worthy Year of your life. This mate must be a mortal

and prepared to live in your company here, so that the propagation of our

family will continue.”
“But, Father…!”
“The clan will die out without the integration of seed

from a royal mortal.”
“Alas, my father…”
“This is how it must be. We are, none of us, able to

sire your heirs. Over time, our seed loses the power to procreate and every one

hundred years, new blood and semen must be filtered into the children that

follow.”
“Oh, Goddess above. Where will I go? When…?”
“Soon, my child, soon.”
“How will I know, my father?”
“You will know, my child. Of this I am certain. Every

female before you has prevailed to achieve their destiny. They return to

fulfill their duties with a chosen mate. And life prevails again.”
“You must leave and return with your mate before your

twentieth year.”
“But, Father, I am not yet eighteen. Why tell me now,

when there is still so much time?”
“Because there is actually very little time. The

alchemist has determined that I have few years left and you must be prepared

almost immediately to assume supremacy.”
“Father, when…how…this is all too much!”

“Comport yourself with dignity, Verité. This is your

destiny for which you have trained all your life. You are strong, independent,

fierce. You are creative and fast, smart as any that have ruled before you. I

have raised you as I would have my sons, had they lived. Now you must live for

us all. You must be your woman, secure your mate, and return to become Queen

Mother.”
 

 

Who is Muffy Wilson in her own words?
I am a wife, mother, daughter and sister first and an author

of provocative romance about love, sex, hope and passion second. I was born in

Texas to traditional parents. With two older brothers, I was the youngest, the

family “princess,” indulged and pampered. My father was a career

Colonel and pilot in the U.S. Air Force which required our family to travel

extensively. I spent her formative years in Europe and ‘came of age’ in France (a

state of affairs that gave my father much cause for concern one loooong summer on

the Italian Riviera!) which forged my joie de vivre and love for books, writing

and education. 
~ Live, Laugh, Love with Passion
 
What is one thing you would like the world to remember you

for?
I am a simple person. I would like to be remembered as a

good person, loving wife and nurturing mother. I never met a stranger nor turned

anyone away that needed help. And I have tried hard to learn from my mistakes

but I am not always successful in that endeavor!
 
What got you into writing?
An old boyfriend from high school. We reconnected after all these years and he

writes real estate self-help books. I took a significant departure from self-help to

provocative romance.
 
Are you a full-time author or do you have a day job as well, 
and if so, what do you do?

When I first started writing fiction in 2010, I was still

working as a General Showroom Manager for Ethan Allan and then Robb & Stucky, both high-end furniture companies. I entered the world of real estate sales as well, but I have since retired and devote most of my free time to writing and

anything that will keep me from doing any housework!!
 
You’ve written a lot of other books. Is Erotica the only genre you

write in? And if yes, how do you keep doing it? I got bored after one book… How

often do you need to take masturbation breaks (if any)?
OMG, that was funny! You surprised me with that one!!

Actually, in the beginning most of what I wrote was short stories and I took

plenty of masturbation breaks! Now my books are more story than sexual content.

I get bored with the repetition and in truth, our lives do not revolve around

sex but are complimented by it. What is more important is the human bondage

that precedes a sexual liaison that I find most interesting. Like you, I have branched

out but sex is still a fundamental part of the human condition after all, people

are enigmas.
 
Finally, what can we expect and look forward from you in the

future? Plug away…

Last year was a very busy year from me. I worked very hard and produced a number of wonderful stories I was honored to have featured in several collections. I wrote several standalone features and a few series. Much of my new work has been a real leap of faith for me into the Paranormal and Sci-Fi-Shape Shifter genre. It has been fun and a real stretch for me. 2017  will prove to be an even bigger year for me as I have six books and collections releasing in the first six months. So, there will be plenty to look forward to in 2017.Check out my Amazon Author Page, Goodreads or my website.

            
Thank you so much for having me visit. This has been

one of the most interesting interviews I think I have ever done! And fun, too.

I so appreciate your thought provoking questions. Clearly you have read my work and you know how important that is to an author, that someone actually

picks up our hard work and sits down to read it. It doesn’t get any better’n that!

by

International Bestselling Author
@Kallysten







“When the Ileos

clan invites shifter clans from the Firelands to watch their new leader take

power, Maikel Argonis doesn’t have much choice but to attend. As second in line

to the throne, his lack of interest for this kind of social function is not reason

enough to stay home. His father, the king of the Firelands, rules over his sons

with as firm a hand as he rules a realm where power-hungry shifters don’t

hesitate to start wars.

The chore, however,

takes an unexpected turn for Maikel when he meets Celly Ileos. Second-born like

he is, quick-witted and rebellious, she captures both Maikel’s interest and his

dragon’s—even though she’s a phoenix.

Celly doesn’t mind

seeing her older brother take power like he was always destined to. However,

she does mind that he’s already trying to use her as a pawn in his power games,

intending to strengthen their clan through her marriage to one of his allies.

Her heart is her own, and she wants to choose her own mate.

But if that mate

happens to be a dragon prince, will she be strong enough to endure the fire of

disapproval raging from his family and her own?“


 

 

She joined him and they stood together close to the edge, with nothing in front of them but thin air all the way down to a five hundred feet drop. It was a place and a view of which she’d never tire, and she often came here early in the morning to watch the sun soar above the horizon—and soar with it. Today, however, she found herself watching Maikel rather than the play of colors lighting up distant clouds.
“What a wonderful place,” he murmured, his gaze sweeping the valley stretched down below them. “Perfect to take flight from, isn’t it?”
He turned to her as he finished and something must have showed on her face because he quickly added, “Which is what you came here to do, I’m guessing.”
She inclined her head.
“Nothing better to clear my head than to jump and let myself fall a couple hundred feet before I let myself shift.”
Maikel whistled softly.
“I didn’t realize phoenixes enjoy this kind of thing.”
She raised an eyebrow at him.
“What kind of thing is that?”
“Dangerous things. Like jumping from a cliff.”
“And here I thought dragons were supposed to be impulsive creatures,” she teased. “Are you telling me you’re afraid of what I was doing when I wasn’t even ten years old?”
Something shifted in his eyes, their dark auburn turning to gold for a split second, then to flames as brightly red as blood.
“I didn’t say I was afraid,” he pointed out in a mild voice as he shrugged out of his jacket and dropped it to the ground.
Next thing she knew, his shirt was already halfway unbuttoned and opening on a surprisingly tan and muscled chest.
“What—what are you doing?” she stammered, forcing her eyes back up to his. Her cheeks were burning up all of a sudden.
“Undressing,” he answered plainly. “So I don’t ruin my clothes when I shift and have to ride back to the fortress in the nude.”
That image probably shouldn’t have been so appealing.
“But…”
Whatever protest she wanted to offer disappeared when he shrugged his shoulders and his shirt slid off, exposing the smooth expanse of his chest and gently rippled abs that made her fingers curl with the desire to touch them. Apparently, he was still doing ‘grunt work’ in his vineyard—another intriguing image. He started reaching for the fastenings of his pants and she hurriedly turned her back to him.
“This doesn’t strike me as very appropriate,” she said, her words ending on a mortifying little squeak.
The whisper of a zipper being pulled down seemed to fill the space between them.
“Are you telling me you didn’t come here to shift? Because if that’s what you’re saying, we don’t believe you.”
His word choice confirmed what she had started to suspect: his dragon was close, very close to the surface. She’d always heard that dragons were impulsive and quick to act when they felt threatened or insulted… it certainly appeared to be true.
And if you’re saying part of you didn’t hope it’d end up this way, her phoenix supplied with a little laugh, I’m the one who won’t believe you. Why are you so flustered, girl?
He’s undressing! Right beside me!
The rustling sounds behind her were all she could hear.
No, I think he’s naked by now. Don’t be such a prude, it’s not like you’ve never seen a man in the nude, whether it was a shifter before or after his shift, or a plain-blood human ready to get naughty with you. But maybe you’d prefer the latter?
Will you shut up already? You’re supposed to be on my side!
Not your side, darling. Ours.
It wasn’t often that Celly’s phoenix exerted her will to control their shared body when they were in human form, and when she did it always took Celly by surprise to the point that she couldn’t stop her. The phoenix did that now, making her turn around even as running steps announced what Maikel was doing.
Celly didn’t have time to see much more than a naked blur before he was leaping right over the cliff with a yell that sounded like pure exhilaration.
She’d been here with a dozen different people over the years, and she’d come on her own on countless mornings. Whether someone jumped for the first time or the hundredth, even knowing that their phoenix was ready to take over long before they crashed, the instinctive fear never completely went away—but that was half the fun. Maikel seemed completely fearless.
Without thinking, Celly stepped closer to the edge, where she’d be able to watch him go down. His body was spread out, arms and legs extended on either side of him as he faced down.
Nice ass, her phoenix supplied, and Celly smiled.
The next second, her mouth fell open and she gaped. She’d watched dozens of phoenixes shift, and she knew intimately what it felt like to do so, both when standing on firm ground or when tumbling in the air, an illusion of flight without wings. Phoenixes were long and lithe, with powerful wings and five oversized feathers for a tail. A shifter taking their phoenix form had always looked to her like golden fire rippling through a human body and exploding outward into new, feathery limbs, a process as elegant as it was quick.
She’d seen dragons fly before, but she’d never seen one shift. She’d imagined it would look the same, just with a different shape, and in a way it was. At the same time, though, it felt entirely different. Maybe because dragons were almost twice as massive as phoenixes, or maybe because she wasn’t as familiar with their shape, the shifting seemed to happen in slow motion.
Maikel’s skin, already so far down below, darkened gradually until wings shot out of his back fully formed, while the rest of his body was still human. They spread out and hid part of him even as the shifting continued, limbs, body and head morphing into the imposing yet still elegant lines of a dragon. There was a moment when his wings folded and he tilted forward, head first into the dive. Celly couldn’t suppress a gasp, suddenly sure that something must have gone wrong.
She gasped again, this time in awe, as his wings extended and he veered in a fluid movement, following one of the strong winds that played along the cliff to stop his descent and glide back upward.
It had taken him long seconds to fall halfway down the cliff, but in the blink of an eye he was back at her level. She could have sworn one of his blood-red eyes winked at her before he dived back into the valley with a roar that would have been frightening had it not sounded like sheer delight.
He’d been so close she could almost have touched him if she’d only extended her hand, and while she hadn’t she could imagine the texture of his hide under her tingling fingertips. Leathery but smooth, warm from the heat of his blood, slick… It had seemed black when he’d first shifted, but from up close his coloring was more charcoal that pure black, with splatters of white and gray dots like freckles on his wings, his back, his underside.
He twirled and dropped down into the valley, occasionally beating his large wings once or twice but for the most part following the wind currents, before coming back to where she stood. He hovered there, close enough that the horses a few paces behind her, as accustomed as they were to being around winged beasts larger than they were, neighed unhappily and struck the ground with their hooves.
If that’s not an invitation to join him, her phoenix said, I’ll eat my own tail. What are you waiting for?


 

 

Hello and thank you so much for having me for a little chat

today! Here’s hoping I don’t start rambling too much… I’m wrangling my toddler

as I do this interview and she can be a handful!

How long have you been a writer and how did you come to

writing?
The reason I became a writer – that is, wrote an entire

story and shared it with readers – was because of boredom. Not too glamorous, I

know! I wrote my first novella in middle school. We had ‘study’ classes in

which we were supposed to just sit quietly and work on homework or study, but I

always finished my work early and would get bored out of my mind. One day I

brought a new notebook to school and started inventing a story… and another,

and another after that. When I moved to the United States in 2001, everything

felt so strange and new, I stopped writing for a while. When I started again

about a year later, it was, for the first time, in English. The change was

brutal and the learning curve pretty stiff… but after a few years, I started putting

‘writer’ on the occupation line when doing my taxes and it felt pretty special.

How did you come up with the storyline for Mated?
I was just finishing a different story which is set in the Fated & Forbidden series,

a universe shared by 11 authors, and my mind was drifting over the ‘forbidden’

aspect of love, and how long writers have played with that storyline. Romeo and

Juliet were hardly the first! Also I’d been wanting to write a shifter story

for a while and couldn’t decide between phoenix and dragon. The two thoughts

combined… forbidden love between dragon and phoenix shifters… now I just had to

figure out who my characters were!

How did you figure it out? Do the characters ‘live’ with you

as you write?
Absolutely. When I get the idea for a story and start

thinking of the characters, they take a life of their own and play out the

story in my mind, the same scene repeated a dozen times until each word or

action is just right. Writing is the only way to get them to quiet down and

move on… to the next scene!

What inspires you to write?
Just about anything, really. I never know where my muse will

look next to plot a new story. Let me think…

One of my vampire BDSM series (Carte

Blanche and its sequels) was inspired by a real-life Domme whom I knew

online and got to chat with face to face once. I was very proud that she gave

the story her seal of approval.

My Ward of the Vampire serial came

from a chat I had with a friend. She was bemoaning the ‘billionaire boyfriend’

trend and saying she had no interest in writing such a story but wished she

could so she could get on the bandwagon. I told her to just write her thing and

find her readers that way, and joked that I’d never write for that trend

either. My muse took that as a challenge and within a few months I had 140,000

words of it…

My On The Edge series came from one

throwaway line in another book. I’d mentioned this vampire friendly club, its

human owner and his vampire lovers, and suddenly I had to tell their story…
I have a YA shifter story with my other pen name (Beneath the Twin Moons of Haldae) that

came from an article I read about a newly discovered tribe in the Amazon who’d

never been in contact with ‘civilization’ before. The moment I finished the

article I had the whole plot in my mind.




What is the hardest part of creating a book?
For me, it’s definitely the promoting part. Ask me to write

or rewrite and I’ll be happily typing away all day – and night – long. Ask me

to toot my own horn and tell people why my stories are worth reading, and I

freeze. Not that I don’t think they are worth reading; I just wasn’t raised

into thinking my own accomplishments are something I ought to talk about. Just

doing this interview is a painful process… but don’t worry, I’ll survive!

What are 3 of your favorite quotes from Mated?
Argh! You’re asking me to pick my favorite child! (If, you

know, I had more than one!)
All right, let me try…

Should I? she whispered in her own mind. If it comes out

that I’ve been flying with a dragon…
What’s the worst that could happen? Your mother will be

disappointed? Your brother will try to marry you off to the first phoenix who

so much as expresses an interest in you? Nothing new, then.
*** 
Yes, I suppose she is rather pretty, for a human.
*** 
And you don’t mind that he is a dragon?
He can’t help what he is, her phoenix said. Why should I

blame him for what is not his fault?

What would your friends say is your best quality?
Probably that I’m loyal. When I make a friend, it’s for

life. I’m still in touch with my very first real friend, Dje, whom I met when

we were 6 and who lives in France.

Are reader reviews important to you? Why?
Yes and no. Yes because it’s always interesting to see what readers

enjoyed (or didn’t like…) in a story – and because, for better or for worse,

reviews are an important part of promotion. No because when I read a review I

always want to engage the reader in a dialogue about it, see what they thought

about this other bit or that other thing, but I’ve always been told it’s a big

no-no.

What do you do when you don’t write? Like in “Real Life”
You mean other than wrangling Baby, taking her to the

museum, the zoo, the parc, the pool, and indoor and outdoor playgrounds?

*grins* Well I do enjoy quilting a lot. I make a lot of lap-sized quilts

because they’re fairly quick to make on my little machine. I even gave one in a

reader giveaway last year… I might have to do it again this year!

Tell us about your other books?
Another ‘pick your favorite child’ question! My backlist is

growing so long, I’ve even lost count of how many books I actually have for

sale. Most of what I’ve written to date was about vampires and/or magic. My

last two releases were about magic – Blood

Moon, in the Fated & Forbidden series I mentioned earlier, is about two

power-wielding lovers who reunite after centuries of estrangement. Love & Magic is a box set of 3

short stories that are male/male relationships revolving around magic. The

release before that was Switching

Sides, a BDSM vampire short that’s a sequel to the Domme novel I told you

about earlier.
M/F, M/M, ménages; sweet stories, sexy ones, kinky ones;

short stories, novellas, novels, long novels; standalone, series… You name it,

I’ve probably written it!
           

 

If you read through this entire thing… thank you! Have a

gold star… oh wait, Baby took all my gold stars! How about a freebie instead? I

find the best way to introduce myself to readers is to offer them something to read.

I have several freebies on the major ebook stores, and extra ones available

through my newsletter. Feel free to come

and say hi!

Kallysten’s most exciting accomplishment to date was to cross a few thousand miles and an ocean to pursue (and catch!) the love of her life. She has been writing since her teenage years, and always enjoyed sharing her stories and listening to the readers’ reactions. After playing with science fiction, short stories and poetry, she is now trying her hand, heart and words at paranormal romance novels.

Dark Melody

by

Megan J Parker
International Bestselling Author

 @ScarltSorceress

All she has ever known is pain.

Raised living in a lab as an experiment by twisted scientists, Talia has lost all hope at ever having a life worth living. When the lab goes under, Talia is given a chance at escape and finds herself in the strong embrace of heavy metal guitarist, David.

All he has ever known is music.

David has no idea what to do with the beautiful female who showed up at his doorstep. Having always put his band first, he has no experience with females. And while he knows he should be weary of her, he can’t seem to break the strange attraction he feels towards her.

All they need is strength.

With Talia’s captors on the hunt, both David and her will have to muster all the courage they can to protect a future for either one of them. But with hardly any experience in combat, will the two have enough strength be able to defeat the strong forces ahead?

 

 

Despite this, she

didn’t let go of David’s hand, not yet wanting to leave the safety of his

touch. Taking a deep breath, she looked over at him and smiled softly.
“Thank you again

for all of this, David,” she whispered.
“It’s no problem

at all,” he smiled.
She blushed at

that. “I hope that remains true.”
“Well if it

doesn’t,” he offered with a smirk, “I think it’s only fair to say that any

problems that come my way have even more problems in store for them.”
Though she didn’t

understand what he meant, Talia felt safer for it all the same. Riding on the

warmth and happiness and comfort, she leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to

his cheek. While she had no experience (and she hoped it didn’t show) with

kissing, she wanted to give him a token of her gratitude. It was, after all,

how it was done in all of the romance novels. Common or not in stories, though,

she felt him stiffen against her kiss and she pulled back, nervous that she had

done something wrong.
“I… I’m sorry,”

she whispered. “I just wanted to show my thanks…”
“It’s fine,” he

said after a moment, touching the spot on his cheek and smiling warmly. “I’m

just not used to… well, anything like this.”
“I’m glad I’m not

the only one,” Talia said, feeling both the warmth of a blush and a whole different

type wash over her.
“Then I suppose I

won’t worry too much about trying this,” he said before pressing a kiss to her

lips.
The soft brush of

his lips had her frozen in the moment. It felt perfect.
Romance novels,

she realized, had a funny way of glossing over the best parts.
Finally, though

she couldn’t be sure how much time had just passed, David’s lips left hers and

the two shared another beautiful silence together.
“Get some sleep,

Talia,” David said in a comforting whisper as he helped her climb into the bed.

“I’ll be right in the other room if you need me, okay?”
Talia blushed

again and nodded—realizing that she was experiencing the most warmth she ever

had on the exact same night that she’d experienced the most cold—and wormed her

way under the covers. When she was settled in, David offered her another first

by telling her to sleep well before heading back into the other room. Once

alone—but, she realized, not truly alone for the first time in her life—Talia

moved her fingers to her lips and brushed the spot where David had kissed her.

In the few short hours she’d known him he’d given her so many new experiences

that she’d never even known she didn’t know about, but among of the things he’d

shown her was the one thing she’d long known about but still never believed

she’d ever come to experience.
David had given

her a kiss.
The lips that

David’s own had just touched curled into another smile—a gesture that was

becoming so common for Talia that her cheeks were beginning to ache—and she

quickly fell into another first for her:

 

A genuine and

peaceful sleep.

 

 

Hi! As you may know (or see haha),

my name’s Megan J. Parker. I’m currently an international bestselling author of

paranormal romance and urban fantasy, but I dabble in various genres including

contemporary romance, erotica, fantasy, and horror. I’m also a graphic designer

and own my own company called EmCat Designs.

How long have you been a writer and

how did you come to writing?
I’ve been officially a writer since

2013 when my husband and fellow author, Nathan Squiers, finally pushed me to

finish a chapter one. I always loved to write short stories or unfinished

chapter ones (I swear, I could probably have a FULL novel if I collected all

the unfinished chapter ones together). However, my husband finally pushed me to

finish and I was able to publish my first novel, Scarlet Night, late 2013.

How did you come up with this

storyline?   
Well, funny thing, I LOVED the

character David from my husband’s Death Metal series (that’s right! David isn’t

technically my character). After some pleading (which really wasn’t that much),

Nathan agreed to let me use David and write this story. I decided I wanted to

write a heroine who had absolutely no idea about the world outside of her

“cell” and that her only basis was from reading romance novels. The dynamic

between David and Talia really helped me to tell their story.

What are the best and the worst

aspects of writing?
I think for me, at least, the best

part of writing is being able to use my creativity and just sit down and tell a

story. I’ve always loved storytelling in some form or another (movies, books,

comics, etc.) and it’s honestly extremely therapeutic for me. For the worst

parts, however, it’s sticking to telling one story. My mind is always coming up

with new ideas (hence all the chapter ones), and I think that I have trouble

trying to sit and work on ONE concept only.

What are 3 of your favorite quotes

from **Dark Melody**?

Talia shook her head, but smiled

all the same at the chance to learn a new word. “Huh,” she repeated, “Huh. Huh. Huh? Huh!” she made herself laugh

as she voiced the last repetition with sternness and realized it sounded like

an angry doctor’s sigh. Catching David still staring, she felt another wave of

heat but felt the tug of her own smile. “It’s a fun word.”
“You are so… different,” he said,

still smiling.
 
***
 
Though she’d been confused by the

terminology the first time she heard it, she saw now what David meant by it.

And, both hearing and seeing music for the first time in her life, Talia

decided that she didn’t like a word. David didn’t play music. He commanded

music! He forged it, he conjured it! He was music!

“Then I suppose I won’t worry too

much about trying this,” he said before pressing a kiss to her lips.
The soft brush of his lips had her

frozen in the moment. It felt perfect.
Romance novels, she realized, had a

funny way of glossing over the best parts.
Finally, though she couldn’t be

sure how much time had just passed, David’s lips left hers and the two shared

another beautiful silence together. 

What do you do when you don’t write?

Like in “Real Life”
My husband and I love to go to the

movies, so if we aren’t out seeing a new movie, we are typically exploring the

local comic shop, going to our tattoo/piercing shop, or spending time with our

friends/family. We recently fell back in love with laser tag and we found a

nearby laser tag place that is for adults only after 9PM so that’s been our

Saturdays.

Tell us about your other books?
I have several other books

available, but the ones that I’m most known for are my Scarlet Night books.

It’s a full trilogy (finished!) & book one is free on all e-book outlets.

It’s a paranormal romance/urban fantasy with a “feisty” female vampire and her beastly

lover. The first book is a slightly based on a Beauty and the Beast retelling.

I also have a paranormal romance between a Russian mafia daughter and a male

shifter who works under her father as a cage fighter called “Fighting for You”

(which there will be a sequel for). I’m currently finishing the first book in a

7-part series called “Moonlit Seduction”. The series features seven highlander

shifters searching for their mates to break a curse put upon their family and

each book represents one of the brothers.


Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy
