Good morning Cheryl and super congrats on the new release!! What a great cover and don't know who else noticed the hand coming out of the background, but I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteTell us about this new world you created. And will we be seeing Emma and Bill again? I haven't read the book yet, but it sounds like this world would make a great series.
Enjoy your party today and thanks for the great giveaway! Hope DON'T DRINK THE BLOOD is a monster bestseller for you!
Thanks! The world is present day Chicago....but vampires lurk everywhere. Emma is intrigued by them and wants to get closer...going to a vampire bar seems safe enough. Then all hell breaks loose and she must decide which man to trust!
DeleteIt's sort of my tribute to Buffy...this normal girl gets an upclose view of the undead and her life becomes a lot more exciting!! It's my Anti-Twilight book:D Hope peope will check it out and get a thrill!
Congrats on the new release. Resplendence has this listed as an erotic paranormal romance (as does Author Island), but the blurb and excerpt seem more hot but not erotic paranormal romance. Would you say it's erotic pr?
ReplyDeleteHey Anne,
DeleteIt's not as erotic/kinky as some of my other books. It's rated a garnet on the heat scale when most of my stuff is a Fire Opal at Resplendence. But it does have graphic m/f sex critical to the plot.
The excerpt is the opening so it's the set up.
The definitions do sort of change...lol. I'd say it's erotic because her fascination with the vampires is a huge turn on. she wants the experience. so it's part of what drives her. but the acts aren't anything extreme...
does that help? it's hard to put a label on. normally I write stuff that has more people involved;)
Yup. I think everything I've read by you so far has had multiple partners which is why this seemed more mainstream to me. Though, I was thinking Emma and Bill might be joined by a vampire or two.
DeleteCongrats on the release! Love the cover. What is your favorite paranormal creature?

hey Vanessa, thanks!
Deletehmmm, that's hard because I love finding new ones. Vampires and shifters are classics. Zombies seems hot right now... succubus, incubus. there are really soo many:) vampires are a classic!
Congrats on the release. Enjoyed reading the excerpt, can't wait to read the rest of the book and find out more about Emma, Bill and Pierson. *L* liked how you described this as your anti-Twilight book!

thanks Jean:) i'm much more of a Buffy girl!!
DeleteCongrats! Love the title. Which comes first title or story?

The story came first, Donna. The title was hard....I went through several tries to find the right title.
ReplyDeleteYour book sound fabulous! What genre do you read most?
ReplyDeletequiltlady110@gmail.com
read??? hmmmm. i read around a lot. sometimes regency, mystery etc....but i love menage:)
DeleteIt seems that the world knows about Vampires? Are they accepted in public by most people? Not being watched or confined by the Government?

some of the world knows about them. most go along blissfully ignorant. they'd think the bar was just for vampire wanna be/fetishists. so it's up to hunters to keep the baddest of the bad under control.
DeleteAre there any other type of paranormals in the book? Are will there be in future books?

no, vampires are the only para creatures in this book:) I'm not sure about future books. There are other members (single members) of the hunter gang so it's an option if people like it. I haven't planned them out yet. I like to do the odd stand alone book now and then...
DeleteGood to know that Bill is not alone and has others to support him as a Vampire Hunter.

yep he has a team and they all work together. but they're all humans, no supernatural creatures/powers.
DeleteIt's even more challenging for the team being all humans and more dangerous when they encounter the bad vampires. The book must have some very exciting and suspenseful scenes.

It's good that it's a stand alone book.
ReplyDeleteThere is always an option to expand with other characters or the same ones in a second book.

Congratulations on your new release.
ReplyDeleteI wonder which you would prefer to be - vampire or vampire hunter?
marypres(AT)gmail(DOT)com
me? hmmmmm. hunting is a lot of work. i'd probably be a reclusive vampire:)
DeleteCongrats on the new release.
ReplyDeleteYou said others will get a book..how many will be in the series? And will you write each one so they can be read as stand alones or have a story arc throughout the series?
elaing8(at)netscape(dot)net
oh well, i said there are other team members. Some of them MAY get a book if this one is popular but they'd all be totally stand alone! the team wrapped up the threat for sure in this one:) but plenty more vamps out there....
DeleteHeavens! I love it! Cheryl, it seems that almost every time I turn around, we're celebrating a new release from you! This is fantastic for my TBR :) Do you ever hit writer's block? Or is your idea file overflowing and the muse frequenting your office? :)
ReplyDeletef dot chen at comcast dot net
i have a ton of ideas!! lol...if i get writer's block it usually means i've taken a wrong turn in a book or i need a day or two off. as much as i love writing, there are times when I need to recharge and get my mind out of the stories:) thanks!
DeleteCongrats on the book! What are your plans this weekend?
ReplyDeletebn100candg(at)hotmail(dot)com
thanks! this weekend is a small meeting of my writer friends and probably editing the story I'm working on.
DeleteCant wait to read this story. What are you working on now?
