she's popped over with her fantastic book
and what a great cover...
Thank you so much for hosting me! “As Midnight Loves the Moon” went through
many incarnations before becoming a MMF story.
I had originally written it without Daphne, as a straight MM story and
no sex, but it sat for a long time because something was missing…until I
thought about adding a human girl into the mix, and then my poor dying heroine
popped into my head. After that, well,
who doesn’t think of sex and vampires?
It’s almost symbolic, as the fang slides in so does his throbbing
member.
Okay, sorry for the purple prose! LOL!
I’ve also gotten a lot of compliments to the title. I must admit, I didn’t dream of this all on
my own. One of my favorite campy movies
from the 80’s was “The Pirate Movie” with Christopher Atkins and Kristy
McNichol. In the movie, Frederic
(Atkins) asks Mabel (McNichol) “Mabel, do you love me?” And she replies, “As midnight loves the
moon.” I’ve always loved that line.
Blurb:
Wayde Wallace is a vampire.
He’s been alone for a long time, until he smells the sunshine scent of a
woman and finds Daphne Sabella. Her
blood smells intoxicating until he catches the stench of sickness upon her and
realizes Daphne is dying.
Alexander Malden is a
Shade cop sent to patrol the supernaturals who lives among humans. A rogue vampire is killing women and he
thinks Wayde is the monster because only a trickster can make him feel such
lust and longing.
To prove his innocence, Wayde goes out to find the real
rogue vampire and Alex can’t help but follow because the mating bond has
already settled between them. And when
they believe they can finally help Daphne, she’s become the next victim. Now they must rescue her and turn her before
her heart gives out.
Excerpt:
Wayde looked behind Alex and
noticed their conversation had gathered a few watchers. His gaze flickered back
up to the handsome cop. “I suggest you sit down,” he said softly. “We’re
attracting human notice.”
Alex glanced over his shoulder,
probably to double check he told the truth, and slid into the booth, staring at
him and carefully keeping out of his reach. “You think by distracting me in a
bar, I won’t kill you?”
“You’re so bloodthirsty. Again, I
ask you, why do you want to kill me? I’m not your rogue vampire.”
Alex’s eyebrows skyrocketed.
“Right.”
“I’m not,” he stressed. “I’m a
bookstore owner. I deal in extremely rare books, usually pre-Gutenberg printing
press, although I never turn down a book in excellent condition from around
1040 to the mid-1800’s. Beer?”
“No,” Alex answered with a low
growl. “Listen, you tried to kill me yesterday—”
“You attacked me,” Wayde
interrupted. He pushed his beer aside and kept his eyes steady on the warrior
in front of him. “And if I wanted you dead, you’d be dead. As you learned last
night, I am able to hold my own.”
“I’ve come better prepared.” Alex
opened his jacket a little more to show his gun.
“Ah. Your master plan is to take
me out back and shoot me?”
“Of course. Your suggestion,
remember?”
“Of all the things I said last
night, that’s what stood out?” Wayde chuckled. “Listen, I have your sword at my
shop. You can stop by anytime to pick it up.”
“I don’t actually plan for you to
be alive for much longer.”
“Then I beg to differ,” he
replied. “Have you ever killed a vampire before?”
He saw the answer before Alex
muttered “no.”
He shifted forward in his seat,
leaning toward Alex, who stiffened at the gesture. Then he focused on Alex,
blocking out everything around them. The noise, the smell, the crackle of vinyl
seats all faded as he called forth his hunger. It rose sharply, like it always
did, waiting eagerly to be sated. It was heat and power and magic, all rolled
together, bursting forth like an invisible web. And as soon as he captured
Alex’s eyes with his own, he knew he had the man.
“I want you,” he murmured,
weaving his spell. He knew that his voice took on a husky timber, that his eyes
blazed with blue fire, and that his pheromones heated up. “Do you want me too,
Alex?”

Bio:
I like writing
about the very ordinary girl thrust into extraordinary circumstances, so my
heroines will probably never be lawyers, doctors or corporate highrollers. I try to write characters who aren't cookie
cutters and push myself to write complicated situations that I have no idea how
to resolve, forcing me to think outside the box. I love writing characters who are real,
complex and full of flaws, heroes and heroines who find redemption through love.
I’ve been pretty fortunate in life to experience some
amazing things. I’ve lived in France,
traveled throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand. I am a mom to an amazing little boy. I’m surrounded by friends and family. I
hate washing dishes but I love cooking. I hate washing clothes but I love
wearing them. Writing my bio is difficult because I never know what to say so I
hope you like this one. My favorite
color is red but I look best in black (it’s slimming). I hate people who don't pick up their dog's
crap in public places, people who don’t use turn signals, and I really hate
people who are rude and condescending. I especially hate discrimination in all
and every form. And although I love
holding a book in my hand, I absolutely adore my e-reader, whom I’ve named
Ruby. I love to hear from readers so
