Hi
Raven,
Thank
you for inviting me to the blog to talk about my new Evernight Publishing
release, ‘A Little Mysterious’.
The
book is a Romance on the Go. It’s erotic paranormal romance.
‘A
Little Mysterious’ Publishing was inspired black swans and a man I met in my
work. I say met, but it was a fleeting meeting. I don’t even know his name. The
black swan idea has been with me since I went to Australia on holiday and saw
them, flocks of them actually swimming in the edge of the ocean in a place near
Melbourne. There was also a tame one that lived on the pond where I was renting
a holiday house in Perth.
The
man who inspired, Dhruv, my alpha male in ‘A Little Mysterious’ came into the
antique shop where I work. He was gorgeous, so polite, and cool that I went to
the window so I could secretly watch him walk away down the street.
Dhruv
is described in the story exactly like this man. (Laughs)
He’d
been sent off course…he thought he was lost…until he found Daisy.
His
vampire abilities were special. He belonged to an elite group. Moving home,
they are set off course by a storm that lands Dhruv alone, hungry, and
desperate in a strange town.
A
story of lust, love, and coincidence.
Here's your chance to read an excerpt (G rated)
The sun was warm on her shoulders as
she walked to work. Daisy looked forward to the night, as she’d never done
before. She went into the cool interior of the bar and sighed in relief.
“Wow, you look very special,” Ivor
said. Grinning, he continued, “This has to be for the pale stranger.”
Daisy smiled. “I like him very much,
Ivor.”
The older man gave her a kindly look.
“I hope it works out.”
Daisy put her belongings in the small
locker assigned to her. Her bag held the concealer and a lip-gloss, as well as
her wallet. She put her cell phone by the side of her bag and locked the door.
Without a pocket now, which she would have if she were wearing her usual Capri
pants, she slid the key down inside her bra.
The bar was busy at lunchtime, and
Daisy found the afternoon flew by.
She began to watch the time as it
ticked past five, six, then seven, and finally eight at night. Outside darkness
enveloped the street. Lights on in the late-night stores and eateries threw pools
of glowing yellow, white, and pink on the sidewalk. She stood by the window
after serving steak sandwiches to a customer at a table nearby, and looked down
the high street.
It was nine-thirty when Dhruv finally
walked in. Daisy was already shaking from worrying he wasn’t going to show. Her
heartbeat sped up. She watched him as he walked towards the bar counter. It was
as if the groups of people magically stood back to provide him with a clear
path. When he was in front of her, she smiled.
