Celebrating A Brand New Dancin'With The Devil Book From Sam Cheever And Ellora's Cave

Today we're celebrating the release of the fifth book in Sam Cheever's award-winning Dancin' with the Devil series starring one feisty little tweener named Astra Q. Phelps.

Sam writes fast paced fantasy and romantic fiction with feisty characters who deal with life's little challenges in unique and often hilarious ways. As a reader Sam is very impatient. She quickly loses interest if a story doesn't have a good pace and snappy dialogue. Sam's inability to focus in a backwash of human angst and subtleties works out well for her readers, since she writes the way she likes to read.

In her real life, Sam lives on a hobby farm in Indiana with 10 dogs, 4 horses, 2 barn cats, 2 daughters, and one husband. Not necessarily in that order.

THE DEVIL YOU KNOW Book 5 in Sam Cheever's Dancin' With the Devil series

Astra Q. Phelps is turning twenty-five in a few months and she's starting to feel the effects of her Settling, the time when a half angel, half devil Tweener decides whether to embrace her dark nature or her light.

The delectable Dialle, king of the Royal devils, really needs Astra's help in Hell to deal with an insurrection. But Astra's Settling pretty much has her thinking of only one thing - S.E.X.!

Sex with Dialle, sex with her yummy partner Emo, sex with a molten-hot dragon slayer she meets along the way, and sex with assorted other randy Royals cavorting among the fires of Hell. It's a constant struggle just to keep her mind and body pure so she can concentrate on the business at hand, but Astra Q. Phelps is definitely up for the challenge. And Good versus Evil has never been this much fun!

  7. DeNita!

    Thanks for sponsoring my cyber release party! You're the best.

    Yes, this is the first book in the series that was released through Ellora's Cave, which means it's erotic rather than sensual. I was a little worried about that, I don't want to offend any of my readers who loved the other books in the series but who might not be fans of erotic. So I've tried to make it very clear that this one is a bit different. But other than the heat level, this book still has all the fun and all the adventure that the other books in the series had. All the characters are the same, though I've added a fun new one...a sexy Tweener named Slayer...sssssizzzzllllleee! #:0)

    My Halloween Love Series is about two paranormal races that are connected through mating magic. The Lupire are a race of mixed heritage, both vampire and werewolf, who work for the Vampire Commission, a protective body for the magical races. Lupa Guardians are an elite werewolf pack. The Lupire can only find mates from within the Lupa Guardian pack. These stories are short, around 10k, and erotic. And every story happens on Halloween night. There are two books in the series right now but I'll be adding a new one every year.

  8. Hey Sandy!

    Isn't the cover awesome? I had a chance to talk to the artist at RomantiCon and she was grinning from ear to ear when I got done with her! The cover is not only gorgeous but it captures the whole concept of the book perfectly. The dichotomy between Astra's light and dark sides, brought to the surface by her Settling, is perfectly represented by Dar's vision of the cover. She did an incredible job. And the sexy dude doesn't hurt either!! Snort!

  14. The Devil You Know sounds awesome! Congrats on Book 5.

    It sounds like your life is fun with all those animals and husband.

    I still live with my parents and we have 2 dogs and 2 cats though I'd love to have more.

    Thanks for the Trick or Treat contest. I've found a bunch of authors that I'm now interested in (you included).

  17. My life is indeed crazy with all my animals. Some days I feel like all I do is clean stuff up, exercise and feed critters, and then clean more 'stuff' up after they eat! Har! But I love every minute of it.

  24. Your a new author for me and where have you been all my life? LOL, your books sound incredibly hot and I feel like I've been missing out. With the amount of times sex was mentioned in the blurb, I need to fan myself :)

  25. Yup, five big ones...well, technically, 4 big ones and a little one...how time flies, eh!

    Jolene, you know, it's funny, the blurb really does describe what Astra is going through in the book. You can't imagine how hard it is to write two paragraphs that are fun, interesting, and reflect all the stuff that happens in a 60 thousand word book. And to make it even more fun, my editor tells me to make the blurb hot, hot, hot. Well dang! So I'm really happy to hear I achieved the hot, hot, hot part anyway. Snort!

    Thanks for stopping by, ladies!
