Nocturnal Journal–Mandy M. Roth

When the ‘animal disease’ spreads from Terra to Earth, the Hunters are established on Earth, as well, and Lilith’s father is commander of Earth’s Hunters … reason enough for Lilith, a Hunter herself, to ignore the magnetic pull of the alpha male determined to have her for his mate.

But Lilith isn’t quite human herself—not since she was attacked by werewolves—and she’s always had a ‘thing’ for tall, dark, and creepy.

COMING IN PRINT - AUGUST 2008!

Seducing a God By Taige Crenshaw

Seducing a God, was my first book with Ellora’s Cave and I’m taking you into how the story Seducing a God came to be as well as a little about the hero and heroine.

I’ll be honest I hadn’t ever thought of doing a theme story before and never imagined to try for one at EC. After making a tough decision concerning with the path my writing career was taking I was surfing the various publishers for something spicy to read. While at EC I decided to check out the submissions. As I sat there reading the call for submissions and came across the Naughty Nuptials theme my mind started to race and heart started to pound. I went to bed and my mind still raced and I could not sleep. The story was unfolding so fast in my head and I know I had to write it down. So I got up and fleshed out the story for what ended up to be Seducing a God.

My hero Markus M’ar Riage, The God of Matrimony came to me first. He epitomizes everything that love, relationships and marriage is all about. He is strong, gentle, and all out sexy. I knew he needed a woman who although seemingly shy she would knock his socks off.

My heroine, Paula Stroker made her presence know from the beginning. Although she is slightly unsure around me she knows when she sees Markus she wants him. Also she has a unique profession. {You’ll have to read the book to find out}. Paula is a smart; take charge yet vulnerable and sensual woman.

These two characters compliment each other. Yet they face an obstacle Paula has an aversion to marriage and Markus being the God of Matrimony cannot help but believe in all it entails. They led you on a wild ride of sensual pleasure and discovery. Also there are a few other surprises thrown in.

So take a seductive journey with Paula and Markus and let yourself be seduced.

Seducing a God is available at Ellora’s Cave.

Okay, not death but a near death experience for me. I spotted this house and knew I had to stop and photograph it. I couldn’t not. The compulsion was too great. (I know now it was clearly the "other side" trying to lure me to my death. but, I got the pics so I’m okay with that.)

I had my camera with me (like always anymore). I pulled off the side of a country road that is not really heavily traveled but when someone does go down it, they don’t seem to understand there is a speed limit and dangerous curves. This house sits on one of those very curves.

Please, Can I Get Sick Again?

I’m a publisher and editor. I read all day, every day. Yes, much of it is emails and other non-book stuff. But I also read a lot of books – work-related submissions and books to edit. I also try to read books by some of our newer authors, to keep up with what we’re publishing. And I do enjoy a lot of them.

I don’t know when it was that my interest in the fantasy genre became a little bit more particular. I remember it wasn’t that long ago that I couldn’t conceive of a workable urban or mythical fantasy story. It was like the perfect vampire story. I’m intrigued by the idea of writing an epic vampire novel. I just don’t think that what I could put out there could compete with the multitudes of vampire fiction already in circulation. Maybe one day…

I’ve been sitting here, going nuts since about 5 am when I got up to realize my desktop (my main one) will not start up. Doesn’t even attempt to turn on. Its getting power to it and I have hopes its only a power supply box issue but I won’t know for sure until after 10 am EDT since Best Buy doesn’t open until then. I have 1200 gigs worth of stuff on this computer. I have vital info backed up but the backups are from almost 4 weeks ago (I do this massive ones monthly on the 5th– I shit you not). Its better than nothing I guess. The multiple hard drives on the desktop are holding covers, email and all my friggin programs hostage. (more…
