Caveat Emptor Series.Renee is a military brat turned military wife who is currently stationed in Hawaii with her husband and two cats.
Whether writing as D. Renee Bagby or Zenobia Renquist, she is a world-builder. She loves inventing new cultures and shaping their histories and laws because it beats researching the existing ones.
Her stories span the fantasy gamut but she dabbles in sci-fi and contemporary from time to time. While her main characters tend to be of different races, she doesn't let skin color rule or limit her stories. For her, it's all about how much she can torture her characters so they earn their happily-ever-after ending.
The rules are all new and pre-conceived notions will only slow you down, so when reading Renee's stories, she asks only one thing -- Leave Your Reality Behind.

FORGOTTEN LOVER by Zenobia Renquist
Caveat Emptor Book FiveCaptured by mages, Medusa is more upset at her own weakness than the mages' idea of torture. Once free of them, she plans to slaughter them all.
Except, there is one mage who awakens long buried memories of desire from a past best left forgotten. She knows this man to the depths of her soul, but she and Darius are on opposite sides of a war that has raged for centuries.
It's more than her heart at stake if she gives in to her desires.
Caveat Emptor -- Let the Buyer Beware.

ReplyDeleteLove your Caveat Emptor Books and I'm thrilled to be able to celebrate another release for it!
For those not familiar with your series, can you tell us a bit about the series and how the books fit together?
And this release is different because the hero is not a vampire, right?
I wish you huge success with the new book and hope you're celebrating your first Hawaiian release day in style!
Have a wonderful day!
i love the cover, it's beautiful and the excerpt was great. i can hardly wait to read the rest of the book and see what happens next.
ReplyDeletedo you know how many books you have planned for this series?

Happy release day and Hawaii? Wow how nice :) Is it your first time there?
ReplyDeleteI've read of your series, seen it here I believe, but sad to say I haven't started it yet.
Whatever gave you the idea to have vampires and mages at war? I like that it's different than the old werewolves and vampires at it.
And will you do anymore menages? Those might be my favorites right now.
I love erotic romance and have been thrilled to see some great offerings in the sci fi, fantasy, and paranormal areas. You mention that you write under two diffent names. What type of stories do you write under each?

Whoa! Congrats, Zenobia! Can't believe we're up to book 5! I'm a little behind, but that's good, because then that's more good reading I have to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteHope you're celebrating--do you commemorate each release with something special?

ReplyDeleteSorry, I had a DUH! moment.

Hi Hi DeNita and thanks for having me here today. And yup, this is my first release since moving to Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteThe Caveat Emptor series is about three couples and their struggle for love in the middle of a war between mages and vampires.
You are correct. This is the first book in the series where the hero is not a vampire. The heroine is. The hero is a mage, which makes for some interesting sparks.

Tammy - Thanks so much for stopping by and for the compliments. There will be seven books in this series. I'm half way finished with book six now.
ReplyDelete~ Zenobia
Katie - Actually this is my first time living in Hawaii but not visiting. My family stopped here when the Air Force moved my dad from Okinawa, Japan to San Antonio, TX.
ReplyDeleteThe idea for vampires and mages came to me around the same time I decided this would be a series -- right after I finished the first book. It was supposed to be a stand alone, but the question mark at the end of the book turned it into a series. And, I also wanted to get away from the cliche of vampires vs. werewolves.
I do plan to have more menages. I'll be doing the sequel to RITE MEN FOR MAYA in 2012, which is an m/m/f menage. As well, I have some others planned.
Stay tuned.

Lil - Hi and welcome. I love fantasy and world building so much I had to make up two names to keep it all straight.
ReplyDeleteUnder my real name, D. Renee Bagby, I write books that belong to my Multiverse worlds -- seven separate dimensions containing alternate versions of Earth that cross over one another from time to time. Each Earth has its own rules, from one Earth that is run by preternatural creatures to another Earth that is completely run by science.
For all the stories that didn't fit in my Multiverse, I created the Zenobia Renquist name.
I write fantasy stories with interracial themes in the mainstream and erotic genres under both names, though I try to avoid explicit language while writing as D. Renee Bagby. So far, it's worked out.

Fedora - Thanks and welcome. So far I have not done anything special, though I probably should. I will think of something special to do once book seven comes out.

Julianne - Hi. My inspiration for the first book was a complete reversal of the vampire lover storyline norm. I wanted a vampire hero who wasn't in control of the relationship. Not only that, I wanted him to under the heroine's control against his will.
ReplyDeleteFrom there the series was born.

do you think that you will be sad when you finish the last book,you are getting close now, or will you be glad to move on to something new and different?

Tammy - Hi. And I'm not sure. I've never done a series before, so I haven't thought about how I'll feel when it's over. I've already got several books planned and in the works, so moving on to something new isn't hard.
ReplyDeleteWhen book seven releases, I guess I'll find out.
~ Zenobia
I look forward to reading this soon
ReplyDeleteBinabug - Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Zenobia,
ReplyDeleteI love your books and have gotten all of them, I'm hoping you will stretch the series out longer.

BeccL - Hi and thanks! Unfortunately, I only planned the story arc for seven books. Once book six comes out, you'll see why it'll be ending with book seven.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry though. Changeling Press encourages its authors to put out free shorts called Encounters. I plan to do one for each couple once the series is finished.
