Italy—August 79 AD<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Aston’s heart pounded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Blood curdling screams rang in his ears like
a wailing alarm while the putrid scent of sulfur and ash burned his lungs. He
couldn’t move. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Aston, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Expergiscere</i>! <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Expergiscere</i>!”
His mother pleaded in their native Latin tongue for him to wake, but his eyes
wouldn’t budge. The pressure of her tender fingers squeezed his flesh with
horrific urgency, yet he couldn’t respond. He couldn’t move a muscle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Paralyzed, he lay on a wool-stuffed
mattress atop his marble bed as though something pinned him there, an invisible
force holding him still, helpless in a time of crisis and need.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Could he be trapped in the throes of a
lucid nightmare? How in Jupiter’s name could he jolt himself from such a
catatonic state? Then Aston recalled the lessons in meditation taught to him
and his twin brother, Vulcan. Their father had spent hours stressing the
importance of control and restraint on a level to maintain their abilities
without the interference of their basic nature. Remembering a particular moment
from those same lessons, he envisioned his limbs as long roots, fusing with the
earth until deeply planted into the rich soil. Then he snapped those roots and
freed himself from the grip of the veiled danger with internal screams powerful
enough to deafen the heavens. He willed himself awake with an unparalleled need
to rise and defend his people from a threat he couldn’t yet see.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">When his eyes sprang open, he wasn’t prepared
for the sight that matched the sounds. But there was no time to assess, only to
react. With the sleeve of his shirt, he wiped away the sweat beading on his
brow and jumped to his feet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Heat unlike anything he’d ever felt clung
to the air, threatening his lungs with an infernal kiss. With visibility at a
minimum, he sharpened his gaze and dashed from room to room in search of his
parents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">The unmistakable sound of wheezing and
labored breaths echoed through his house and the place he’d long associated
with comfort was now doused in things he’d only ever seen in nightmares. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Mater!” He shouted for his mother from
the grand hall with the hope he’d catch a glimpse of her sable hair or sapphire
eyes, but the odds were against him. As though the gods heard his plea, his
mother’s most trusted handmaiden hurriedly crossed his path.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Master Aston, what is happening?” she
asked then fisted his shirt, a constant track of tears rolling down her cheeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">He gave a gentle stroke to her arm. “I am
not certain, Mariana. But I will find out, I promise you. Now, have you seen my
mother?” he asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Mariana’s rich brown hair framed her
angelic face as she gave a quick nod, but her walnut-colored gaze told a tale
of horrors no one should ever witness. “Your mother made desperate attempts to
wake you, my lord. After those unsuccessful efforts, she fled to the courtyard.
But I fear the worst, my lord. All of those…screams.” Her trembling hands
covered her ears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">He gripped her wrists tight, steadying
her. “Leave this place, Mariana. I fear an attack from an enemy with whom we
are unfamiliar. Run as quickly as you can and head for Rome. Take as many with
you as you are able, and do not delay.” He placed a gentle kiss to back of her
hand. “May the gods be with you this night,” he said then left her in search of
his mother, but doubted he’d ever forget the terror in Mariana’s eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Dashing into the courtyard, through the
thick, choking smog, the image of destruction appeared. Mount Vesuvius burned
in the distance like a beacon where intertwined veins of fire nourished the
landmark with life. The path of flame led straight to Pompeii and threatened
the lives of everyone he knew. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">For a fraction of a second, a gust of
wind cleared the air. Just long enough to spot his mother at the far end of the
courtyard, near her treasured rose garden. Flashing to her side, he grabbed
hold of her arm. “Mother!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Her eyes welled with pink tears. “Aston!
Oh, my son. I feared the worst when my pleas had gone unanswered.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">He pulled her close, as though shielding
her from the terror would spare her further pain. “What is the meaning of all
this? What is happening?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Despite the chaos, she stood eerily calm.
“A spell had been cast upon you, my son. One I could not lift, even with my ability.
A great evil is at work here, Aston. An evil so powerful, it summoned the fury
of the mountain.” She cast a cold gaze upon the fiery summit, her blue eyes
studying the frightful sight, cursing the assailant beyond her physical reach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Gripping her shoulders, he freed her from
the distraction and lowered his gaze to hers. “You need to flee the city,
mother. Pompeii will be lost. I will remain to see as many townsfolk as
possible make safe passage to Rome. Find father and leave at once.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">She brought a gentle hand to his face, her
skin as soft as a newborn always bearing a hint of lavender. Even now, in the
wake of an apocalyptic event, he found her touch comforting. “Aston, you are an
honorable man, always eager to fight for Pompeii and your people. That is a
noble trait and I pray it remains with you always. I only wish your brother had
not left with such hatred in his heart. Please tell him how much your father
and I loved him, even when he believed otherwise.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Realization settled, seeping into his
heart like a painful toxin. His brow creased at what her words meant. She was
saying goodbye. “You mean to stay here and fall with the city. I will not allow
it, mother and as a defender of the city, I will force you to exit if need be,”
he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">If only Vulcan were there to stand beside
him and talk a lick of sense into her, but his identical twin brother grew
stubborn, bitter, and left his family in anger because of what he couldn’t have…the
ability to walk in daylight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">In Vulcan’s defense, they weren’t <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">completely</i> identical. Yes, they were
each other’s exact physical copy, but while Vulcan was born a vampire, Aston
walked in the sunlight as something else entirely, and he carried the burden
his entire life. He muttered a curse onto the night air. Gods, he could use his
brother’s assistance now, providing a distraction while he carried his mother
out of the city. Instead, Vulcan had a grudge to harbor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">He sensed her hand glide away from his
cheek as she stood evenly beside him, peering out upon the grim horizon. “Aston,
I am not simply remaining behind to fall with the city. I stay to stand beside
the only man I have ever loved. For several millennia I have walked this realm,
cursed with an immortal existence, devoid of emotion. I thought all hope was
lost and prayed for death to take me. Then one day I met your father, a human
who accepted me for everything I am and by some divine intervention, I birthed
his children. When he asked to become vampire so that he could be by my side
for eternity, I refused his request. But in his stubborn nature, he persisted
and I could deny him very little for everything he has given me in return. You
must understand, Aston, I am not giving up. I am dying beside my soul mate.
Because if I had to endure thousands of years without him, the world would suffer
for my loss and I would never recover.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Shaking his head, his brow creased. He
couldn’t believe his ears. “Are you saying goodbye?” he asked, his eyes blinking
rapidly in an attempt to keep the threat of tears at bay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">She faced him, casting a warm smile. “I
fear this may be the final time we see one another. My only regret is that we
took great care to hone your abilities slowly and you have not yet realized
your potential. You wield great power, Aston and I hope you discover your gifts
over time.” She gripped his hand, placing a gentle kiss to his skin, her hold
so tight, he was certain she meant every word. “But my greatest wish for you is
that you do not have to walk through eternity alone as I had for so long. Once
you find your one true companion, hold on with everything you are and never let
go. That is a rare treasure worth more than all of the gold and gems on earth,”
she said, releasing her grasp.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Last
words.</span></i><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"> Were these the
wishes of a dying mother? He couldn’t accept that, wouldn’t accept it. Just
then, a gust of searing heat blasted through the city and scorched his skin
with temperatures beyond measure. Crouching low to the ground, he quickly
shielded his mother, sucking a sharp breath through clenched teeth as pain engulfed
him. When the flare passed, his flesh healed and he rose to his feet, searching
for answers. Blood curdling screams echoed for what seemed like miles and they
only intensified with every investigatory step.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Thick showers of ash fluttered from the
sky in resemblance of a snowfall absent winter's chill, blanketing the earth
with its silent treachery. He scanned the area through the smoke and ash, when
out of the dismal conditions, shadowed figures approached. “Something else is
out there, mother. And it swiftly approaches.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Yes. This foe is a familiar one, and I
apologize in advance for the actions I must take in the name of all that I hold
dear,” she said. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Amidst the darkness, her eyes grew
bright, glowing like the lava veins of Vesuvius. But as the figure drew near,
her gaze softened. “Daeus, I was infinitely worried, my love.” She wrapped her
arms around the man’s neck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Grateful to see his father, Aston closed
his eyes tight, thanking the gods. “Father, what do you know?” he asked, staring
into the blue eyes that matched his own. Dark hair framed his father’s youthful
face, but his usually bright eyes grew dark and the melancholy expression made
Aston’s heart sink. “Apologies, my son. But I dare not speak of this sort of
betrayal aloud and chance the whisper of my fears reaching the heavens. I will
stand and fight for as long as I can hold them back, but you must leave, Aston.
The world will speak of this night through the ages as a historic tragedy, recalling
destruction from a terrible act of nature. But you will know the truth of this
moment. You will ensure history is not doomed to repeat.” He placed a firm hand
upon Aston’s shoulder.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Bowing his head in realization of the
moment, at truth he couldn’t escape, Aston looked to his father for advice in a
time of darkness. “Father…I—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Before he could finish his words, his
father arched backward, eyes widened in horror as the tip of a rival blade
protruded from his chest. “No!” Aston unsheathed his father’s short sword,
gripping the pommel, poised to attack, when Daeus fell to his knees and
revealed the enemy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Vulcan, the brother he believed long
estranged, stood proud with erupted fangs, possessing an indescribable fire in
his eyes that matched the fury of the mountain. Then, in that moment, he knew
exactly who stood responsible for the destruction plaguing Pompeii. Bending his
arm at the elbow, Aston slashed at his brother with all the strength he
possessed and sliced a deep wound into his forearm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Vulcan howled with laughter. “Oh little
brother, your fury renders me proud. But I’m here for one thing, and if our
lovely mother refuses to grant me the gift of walking in daylight, I’ll just as
soon take it for myself.” Vulcan then wrapped a hand around Aston’s throat,
raising him from the earth, his feet dangling helplessly beneath him just out
of ground’s reach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Aston clutched his brother’s wrist,
attempting to free himself from his powerful hold. “Brother,” he choked out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">The lack of oxygen seared his lungs and
the pressure from Vulcan’s strong hold reminded him of the slow pierce of a
thin dagger. Though the pain wouldn’t kill him, it didn’t hurt any less. How
could this monster be the brother he’d once laughed with, loved? They were
raised together, played together, shared joys, sorrows and a secret no one
could ever know. But the man threatening Aston’s life, his family, was
unrecognizable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">In an instant, his brother screamed in
agony, releasing the grip on Aston’s throat, dropping him to the ground with an
audible thud. Eyes widened in terror as his father’s gleaming sword penetrated
Vulcan’s side, his brother hissing between clenched teeth at the obvious pain. Reaching
around to the hilt of the blade buried in his back, Vulcan effortlessly pulled
the sword from his flesh. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Vulcan tossed the blade to the ground and
started for his mother. Aston lunged for the man he no longer knew, but instead
of attacking Vulcan, his mother stepped between them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">With gentle hands, she cradled Aston’s
face. “My son, see me now. Look into the depths of my eyes and know that I have
adored you since before you were born. When life stirred in my womb, I know I’d
protect you both so long as I possessed the power. I will be with you through
the ages, Aston. I promise.” A single pink tear rolled down her cheek.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">He shook his head violently. “No. Don’t
do this. Do not take leave and say your goodbyes,” he begged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">She offered a smile then, just as angelic
as he’d always known. “I need for you to do something for me now. Think of
those buildings in Rome. Do you recall the majestic structure erected in the
center of the city? The beautiful creation we set eyes upon when last we
visited? Set thought to that very structure and never return to Pompeii, for it
will never appear the same again,” she said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Peering into the eyes of his mother, a
sense of calm washed over him. And in an instant, he stood on a busy Roman
street instead of the familiar courtyard in his native city. “No!” he shouted
to the heavens. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Tears burned his eyes and his heart broke
into what seemed like a thousand shards inside his chest as he tried everything
within his power, everything his parents taught him, to return to Pompeii and
offer aid. But despite his efforts, his attempts failed and he feared he’d
never set eyes upon his home or family again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.3in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">He muttered a curse then prayed Vulcan
met his end in the fires of Pompeii, because if he discovered his brother
survived the catastrophic event and dared to show his face to threaten anyone
Aston held dear, may the gods help him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>Author Bio:</strong> Seventeen years and over a hundred books later, I'm still a quiet wife, mom and grandma who dotes on kids, cats and a growing collection of orchids that sometimes rewards me with an exotically beautiful blossom. One might say I've explored my wild life vicariously through the people in my stories. Although I've won several prestigious awards over the years, the compliments that mean most to me are those that come from readers who've been touched deeply by my stories.
<strong>Type of Books:</strong> I write romances, from "vanilla" erotics to kinky BDSM, in settings both familiar and fancifully exotic. All of my books have the proverbial "happily ever after" in common, though my lusty heroes and heroines follow many different and rocky roads to that happy, committed relationship.

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">JLD: Tell us a bit about yourself.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Indigo: Hi! Thank you so much for having me!
My name is Indigo, and I’m an author of erotic romance with Horny Devil
Publishing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been writing short
stories for about three years now, and I’m loving it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My stories range from sweet contemporary, to steamy,
to smokin’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone needs a little
spice in their life, right?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>JLD: In which genres do you write?</strong>
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Indigo: Erotica</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br />
<br />
<strong>JLD: What inspires you to write?</strong> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Indigo: I
don’t know how to explain it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have the
urge, that builds up inside, until it spills over in the form of words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes inspiration comes from a photo,
sometimes from hearing a song, and my personal favorite…from people
watching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best ideas come from
watching the happenings around me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br />
<br />
<strong>JLD:</strong> <strong>How do you choose names for your
characters?</strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Indigo: Well, I usually decide on the person’s personality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are they sassy? Alpha?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sweet?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And then I google baby names.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I scroll
through lists of male and female names until one jumps out, and that’s how it
happens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then it’s a matter of adding a
last name, and I’m off.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br />
<br />
<strong>JLD:</strong> <strong>What is your favorite type of character
to write?</strong> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Indigo: Do you have a personal favorite amongst your own characters? I
like writing alpha men, but not obnoxiously alpha.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like my guys to have the right mix of
strength, and sweetness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As for my
girls, I can NOT write a weak female.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
despise weak, simpering heroines when I’m reading, so my ladies tend to be on
the sassy side.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br />
<br />
<strong>JLD:</strong> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Do you have any advice for aspiring
authors?</b> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Indigo: Keep writing, and be open to criticism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having someone tell you your work is good
just because they’re a friend isn’t going to help you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes brutal honesty is the best way to
learn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let them pick your manuscript
apart, let them tell you what you can improve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s a tough pill to swallow, but you’ll be grateful in the end.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">JLD: Who is/are your favorite author(s)?</b>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Indigo: Lori Foster, Lora Leigh, Nalini Singh, Jill Shalvis, JR Ward…this list could
go on all day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll leave it at that for
now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">JLD: How do/does your favorite authors(s)
impact your writing?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Indigo: I read them, and I think to myself, “Wow, I suck
compared to them”, but then when I go to write, I push myself that much harder
to be better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I see improvement with
every story I put out there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br />
<br />
<strong>JLD:</strong> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">If you were stranded on an island with
one character from any book of your choice, who would it be and why?</b> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Indigo: Oh
man…um, Just one huh? Ok I’d have to say…Zsadist from the Black Dagger
Brotherhood books.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Besides being amazing
eye candy, he’s a badass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d be well
taken care of for sure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br />
<br />
<strong>JLD:</strong> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hollywood called! They want to turn your
novel into a movie or television series. If given the choice, who would you
cast as your characters?</b> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Indigo; Henry Cavill hands down, for any of my heroes,
because he’s gorgeous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And for my
heroine…I’d say Mila Kunis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’s just
smoking hot, how can I not?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

Indigo: Well, my most recent release is REDEEMED, which is the third book
in my Passion Series.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Colton and Hadley
are working through some pretty serious problems throughout the entire series,
and it all comes to a head in book three.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You should also know, I’m a sucker for an HEA ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Blurb</b>: Heartbreak drives Hadley to
move on and forget the man who destroyed her hopes of love, no matter how much
it hurts.<br />
Colton will do anything to gain her forgiveness, if only he can convince her to
believe his side. <br />
With their future teetering perilously on the edge of disaster, can they redeem
what they had before it’s too late?<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“What are you doing here, Colton?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The words were barely a whisper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“Saving your ass from Mr. Wonderful,
apparently.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His tone held no amusement
despite his comment. “We’re settling this tonight, Hadley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s go.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">He grabbed her wrist and started to pull
her toward the back exit, but she dug in her heels and resisted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I’m going home, Colton, my car’s out
front.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

then toward the bar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Fine.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pulling her the opposite direction, she again
pulled back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“Colton! Stop! You’re not going with

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">He laughed and shot her a look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Look, Had, you either walk out of here
nicely with me…or I throw you over my shoulder and carry you out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your choice, sweetheart.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a child, let alone manhandle her like one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>With her fists balled at her sides, she spoke low and with as much
menace as she could muster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He certainly
wouldn’t embarrass her like that anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Alright.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ve made your choice.”</span></div>

here today. Let’s see, what can I say about myself? Hmm…. Well, I am a mother
of two kids: a thirteen-year-old son and a four-year-old daughter who thinks
she is a teenager already. Dirk and I just celebrated our 15<sup>th</sup>
anniversary in June and more in love than ever. </span></div>

favorite character now, it really is a toss up between Elizabeth and Donovan. I
love her punk look and spunky attitude. I adore Donovan’s flirtatious nature
and his sweet side. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

write….write…write. However don’t be discouraged when a mental block happens.
Walk away, read a book, go bake, watch tv…..What I am saying is get your mind
off the story and you’ll be amazed how the block will suddenly melt away. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

bright and early with his best friend Jackson. He came to show support to
Jackson’s girl, Felicia and maybe grab a sugary treat. Little did he know he’d
find something sweeter than anything offered on the menu board – the woman of
his dreams.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>

Elizabeth thought as she pushed through the door to deliver a large batch of
chocolate and vanilla sugar cookies to the display case. It was grand opening
day for Guilty Pleasures, and she couldn’t be more excited or more nervous.
Years of scrimping and saving had accumulated to this day. In a matter of
minutes the bakery would be open for business, and their city would officially
have their first taboo sweet shop. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.4in;">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: white;">Elizabeth
took one final look around, making sure everything was perfect, when Felicia,
her business partner and friend, appeared next to her, chomping on a
fornication cookie.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.4in;">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: white;">Out of
all the sugary creations crafted for the shop, Elizabeth and Felicia would
agree these were the most fun to develop. They spent many wine-filled nights
brainstorming and researching ideas for the inserts.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.4in;">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: white;">“What’s
it say, babe?” Elizabeth asked, nodding toward the paper in Felicia’s hand.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.4in;">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: white;">Felicia
laughed and read the naughty message, "Two heads are better than one, but
three, now that’s what I call a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">party</i>!"
As she tucked the paper into her back pocket, she asked, “I forget. Was this
yours or mine?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.4in;">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: white;">“I
actually think your man deserves credit for this one.” Grinning, Elizabeth
grabbed the sampler plate off the counter and walked toward the front door,
turning to take one final look around before the place filled up. She couldn't
be any prouder of the decor in her little slice of heaven. She glanced to her
left and smiled proudly as she admired the photos on the wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.4in;">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: white;">The
food photographer they had hired did a fantastic job capturing the beauty and
sexiness of several corset cakes available for purchase. But the icing on the
cake, so to speak, was the mural to the right of the entrance. A local artist
painted "What Are Your Guilty Pleasures" but the letters were
actually naked people in compromising naughty positions. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.4in;">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: white;">Felicia
giggled. “Oh yeah, it’s all coming back to me now. We definitely drank way too
much that night.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.4in;">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: white;">Nodding
in agreement, Elizabeth turned on the neon sign and opened the doors for
business. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.4in;">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: white;">Already,
a few eager customers were waiting by the window. They actually applauded when
Elizabeth stepped out of the shop door. She greeted them with a smile and
offered them their choice of iced cocks or boobs. She wasn’t surprised the
guests blushed when they made their selection and bit into the cookie. She
expected to witness many rosy cheeks in the hours ahead of them—giggles too. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.4in;">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: white;">As the
streets began to fill up with people going to work, Elizabeth tried to coax
even more passersby into the shop with her funny shout-outs such as: “I bet our
peckers taste as good as your man’s. No wait, even better!” And, “Our breasts
are fantastic and all natural.”<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>All
the while she held up a naughty treat. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.4in;">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: white;">After
the bell dinged behind her a couple dozen times, she realized the humorous
approach to draw in customers was working like a charm. Now with them inside,
she had no doubt every person who’d entered the shop erected from her dreams
would be a repeat customer. And with this thought, she knew the many dinners of
Ramen noodles were well worth the discomfort it cost her over the years. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Yes, these are copies sent to the bloggers before the book is actually released, so no hate mail, okay? :P<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Welcome, Marianne!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
JLD: Tell us a bit about yourself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marianne: First, I'd like thank-you for having me here on your
blog-site. Being half a world away, I almost feel like I’m on cyber
holidays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m happily married with 2
children and I live on the east coast of Australia, just a few hours’ drive north
of Sydney. And while you guys are in the clutches of winter, we are sweltering
away under the tyranny of summer, which is really ironic because I absolutely adore
snow and the colder weather, but my family enjoys all the summer trimmings our
great beaches have to offer- like the sun, surf and sand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">JLD: Where you live sounds lovely! I've always wanted to visit Australia. In which genres do you write?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marianne: As Marianne Theresa I write first and foremost in the Romance
Genre – but like a packet of Tim-Tams, I don’t stop at one variety, so I
indulge my passion for Love and Romance and write in several sub-genres such
as:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Historical, Paranormal, Contemporary
& Steampunk. Yes I know – that’s a lot of variation, but as long as romance
is in the main course – I know the desert of the story will always follow. Be
warned though, most of my stories tend to be of the an Erotic and Spicy nature <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
I write what gives me the most pleasure to do so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p>JLD: </o:p>What inspires you to write?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marianne: Life itself! Pure and simple – as it goes on around us. Whether it is something I’ve read from 400 years in the
past, visions or dreams of what’s gone by, and ideas or wishes of what’s to come.
For years I’ve sat in Drs Waiting rooms, supermarket checkouts, parks and the
great outdoors, just watching and studying everyday occurrences in people’s
lives – they’ve always interested me. For me, life itself is wonderfully consuming
and full of predictions, expectations and opportunities. Some taken, some lost
and many unique & unexpected! It’s like a kaleidoscope of stories just
waiting around a corner, wanting to be told. I find the choices are boundless. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">JLD: How do you choose names for your characters?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marianne: That’s a good question Jae Lynne. Mostly that’s not been a huge
issue as they tell me who they are. By the time I’ve plotted a rough draft
(yes, I’m usually a plotter), they’ve wasted no time in coming forward & I
know who they are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few times I’ve had to
change name or two because they rub each other the wrong way, but over-all <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m generally happy with how they just slip
right into their designated rolls and get on with the story. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">JLD: What is your favorite type of character to write? Do you
have a personal favorite amongst your own characters? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marianne: I love to read AND write about characters that bring to the
story a deep emotional pull. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I mean
in the sense that they have to charm me, make me believe in them, laugh with
them and cry with them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
A Favourite Character, WOW… let me see, I would have to say
that I really enjoy Cally, she’s the female lead character in my soon to be
released short Contemporary Erotic Romance Story – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hidden <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Passions.<o:p></o:p></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p>JLD: </o:p>Do you have any advice for aspiring authors?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marianne: Have a passion for what you write. I also believe that goes
for any craft connected to the ARTS. Join a writing group if you can, there are
many out there that are wonderfully supportive. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d been writing many years before I knew
about wonderful Societies & Associations that are full of kindred souls,
eager to help newbie- writers find their feet! RWA (Romance Writers of
Australia) was my saving grace. It opened my eyes to a whole world of *important
stuff*that I needed to learn about. And you’ll never know it all … but the more
you do learn the better it will be for your own journey along the road to
publication. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">JLD: Who is/are your favorite author(s)?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marianne: Because my love of History had been ingrained in my soul for
as many years as I can remember, I didn’t know I wanted to write until I had read
a few 100 Historical Novels, in my late teens. It was at that time I found the
works of Kathleen E Woodiwiss and I was hooked. I’ve read *A Rose in Winter* so
often that I wore out the original and am on my second copy. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But 30yrs (or so - <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span> ) on, and it would be impossible not to add many amazing
authors to my list. But a few that I go back to their stories over and over
are: Ms Joey W Hill;; Stephanie Laurens;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gaelen Foley just to name a few …</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p>JLD: </o:p>How do/does your favorite authors(s) impact your writing?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marianne: When a writer has a devout passion for their genre, I feel it
shows in the story. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This might sound
really weird, but many leading Characters have embedded themselves deep inside me
so much, that I think I would know them personally if I passed them on the
street. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
JLD: If you were stranded on an island with one character from
any book of your choice, who would it be and why? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marianne: Oh Gosh … on an island you say? Hmmm … well it would have to
definitely be a male character; I mean I did mention before that I like to
write on the side of hot and spicy. Seeing I enjoyed *Beloved Vampire* - 2<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup>
story in the Vampire Series by J W Hill - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would think I could live out an eternity
with Lord Mason. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After all, he’s a distinguished gentleman, been around for
centuries, is handsome beyond belief, is a vampire of renown and knows exactly
what a woman needs to be happy and fulfilled <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>;) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>…. I’m
just not sure the *love-of-his-life* Jess, would appreciate the whole idea
though. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p>JLD: You can't spend your island time with Lord Mason. He's already stranded with me. *wicked grin*. You definitely have good taste with regard to romantic heroes. </o:p>Hollywood called! They want to turn your novel into a movie
or television series. If given the choice, who would you cast as your
characters? </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marianne: Wow- how cool would that be and I’m ready to put forward 2
of my<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>favourite actors. Fort the part of
Chad Whittaker I’d have Australia’s very own Handsome Hero, Hugh Jackman and
one of the loveliest<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ladies I adore to
play Cally Foster, would be Scarlett Johansson - from *Girl with the Pearl

flexed and re-positioned around the metal's smooth curves
to give more control—not that she would really use it, she was passive by
nature, but the effect worked so far ….<o:p></o:p></strong></span></span></div>

treachery, slavery, and passion. Where love will not be denied, but is almost
as unattainable as reaching the stars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<br />
Sorry it's been a while since my last post, but it's been a busy autumn so far. I've attended a few weddings, began work on <em>Desires of a Dark Lord </em>and <em>Ashes of Reckoning (Book 3 in the Mythic Series). </em><br />
<em></em><br />
Since Halloween is quickly approaching, I thought to giveaway a very interesting prize. Halloween happens to by my birthday as well, so call it a double celebration for a lucky winner. ;)<br />
<br />
The last wedding I attended took place in upstate New York. During the drive to the destination, I noticed signs pointing toward the famous Village of Sleepy Hollow. If you're not familiar, you need to read Washington Irving's classic horror tale (and a very good read) or watch the Johnny Depp movie for additional eye candy, but nothing is more satisfying than the original tale.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpmzFblmPOX3d-OqSpPAw0xKOrgNxeaTr4WZTVInEW5mu938WerHbNia6KZwVdE0nc520aP-FWtzBfYiriLerDDuu-ppRXqzxrfxScFJ4JeHGSwrl6as2M3eAvCpSRse5-eW_ha55eXyI/s1600/IMG_2538.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpmzFblmPOX3d-OqSpPAw0xKOrgNxeaTr4WZTVInEW5mu938WerHbNia6KZwVdE0nc520aP-FWtzBfYiriLerDDuu-ppRXqzxrfxScFJ4JeHGSwrl6as2M3eAvCpSRse5-eW_ha55eXyI/s200/IMG_2538.JPG" width="186" /></a>I'm not sure why the location of Sleepy Hollow slipped my mind, seeing as it tops the list of places I'd like to visit. So, on the way back from the wedding, I managed to convince my husband to take a small excursion to the town of the Headless Horseman and the schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.alicia-logic.com/capsimages/sh_014BromHH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.alicia-logic.com/capsimages/sh_014BromHH.jpg" width="180" /></a>Upon entry into the village town, it looked like any other small town I've visited in the tri-state area. A main street where neighborhood shops and boutiques are decorated for Halloween, beckoning patrons inside their doors to browse their selction of offerings, a modern middle/high school, animal hospital, restaurants, pubs and an auto repair shop. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Though the fact that the Headless Horseman is the official symbol for the <a href="http://www.sleepyhollowchamber.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Sleepy Hollow Chamber of Commerce</span></a> earned a chuckle. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQstbIXs0lYCC-Ds1tEjWrDVZVDOqnzQ9ydCkYGDTuh-ThCrH91zZ85NUNeZ7lhXtUE1H3jULuKOQrDpQ9r283eBo2MI517MKJybED1hSW7GqaX_mxBYL-l-adD8DkzBdii8PgNVo0NgQ/s1600/IMG_2543.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="158" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQstbIXs0lYCC-Ds1tEjWrDVZVDOqnzQ9ydCkYGDTuh-ThCrH91zZ85NUNeZ7lhXtUE1H3jULuKOQrDpQ9r283eBo2MI517MKJybED1hSW7GqaX_mxBYL-l-adD8DkzBdii8PgNVo0NgQ/s200/IMG_2543.JPG" width="200" /></a>Further down the main road, the area's historic landmarks came into view. First, I entered the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. I really wish I had more time for this as I would've loved to have located Washington Irvin's tombstone, but when the tombstones date back to the 1600s, you can imagine that this cemetery is the size of a small town. A rather quiet small town, if you know what I mean.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/72/f7/92/sleepy-hollow-ny-during.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/72/f7/92/sleepy-hollow-ny-during.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
Then there's the Old Dutch Church, referenced in Irving's story that still stands today. Some of these landmarks really are breathtaking and if you appreciate the visual aspect of some of your favorite stories, Sleepy Hollow is a place to visit. And if you decide to do so, plan ahead. I'll definitely return more informed. Next stop...SALEM!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you can't make the visit to the popular town, you're in luck! For Halloween/my birthday, I'm giving away a cauldron that contains a paperback copy of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving, a Headless Horseman Sleepy Hollow magnet acquired during my trip, a few post cards of landmarks in the town, candy/treats, and some autographed swag from yours truly. <br />
<br />
How to enter: Comment telling me either your favorite Halloween destination or one you've always wanted to visit during Halloween and why. Good Luck to all of the commenters.

<br />
Lots going on this month as I prepare Desires of a Dark Lord for submission to a new publisher. Keep your fingers crossed that they find Ronan impressive enough to issue me a shiny new contract. I'll keep you all posted as to the details once I submit.<br />
<br />
In other news, Dante from Blood Moon is being interviewed at Bitten By Paranormal Romance on October 25th. As I wrap up the interview, I was curious if there were any readers who might be interested in asking Dante a question. I have the opportunity to make this REALLY interesting.<br />
<br />
So what do you say? Is there anything YOU want to ask the vampire god? If your question is selected, there's a prize and some swag coming your way! Simply respond to this post on my blog with the question you'd like to ask Dante and you're entered to win!<br />
<br />
Contest ends September 10, 2012. I leave you with my vision of Dante. Try your HARDEST not to drool all over your keyboards. Enjoy!<br />

In celebration of the release of BLOOD MOON, my publisher is launching an AMAZING promotion. <br /> <br />Beginning on Monday, July 2nd, Mythic will be listed on Amazon as a FREE ebook download for Kindle users. That's right FREE! Have you wanted to read Mythic and haven't had the chance to purchase? Here's your opportunity to get your Kindle copy absolutely FREE! Already have the novel? That's okay. If you want to download it again as to not feel left out, and help a girl increase her stats in the process, it probably won't upset me. :P<br /> <br /> No worries, I'll post the link and reminder for the free download of Mythic as the event approaches. <br /> <br />It's pretty safe to say I'm elated over the news! Who's excited? I hope you'll all be reading Blood Moon this weekend!</div>
