Recipe- Cherry Cordial’s Chocolate Covered Brownie Bombs

Hello, humans. Cherry Cordial here. Former vampire stripper currently residing on the fourth planet from the sun, aka, Mars.
Wait. What? Vampires on Mars? When did that happen? Well, if you must know then you’ll have to check out my stories, written by the human author who does my bidding, Casey Wyatt.
Because there isn’t enough space to regale you with my adventures, do check out the details at the end of the post.
Now, we have to talk about something. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I have a recipe and what’s better than cherries and chocolate?
I may be living on Mars with no access to these ingredients, but you humans don’t have that problem. Lucky you.
So, without further ado, I present:

Cherry Cordial’s Chocolate Covered Brownie Bombs
Warning: These are addictive, easy to eat and will disappear in no time. So, I’ve heard.
What you need:
· 1 pan of brownies made ahead of time and cooled. The human used Duncan Hines family size (13 x 9). Use any brownie mix you like- DO NOT overbake them.· 1 tub of chocolate frosting· 1 bag of frozen Bing Cherries, thawed and patted dry (or Maraschino work too, also patted dry)· 2 bags of chocolate chips (or chocolate candy melts). If you make a smaller batch of brownies, then 1 bag should work.
Now it’s time to get messy.
1. Crumble the brownies into a large bowl. Then add about half to three quarters of the chocolate frosting and work it into the crumbled brownies. Add more frosting if it’s too dry. The idea is to use enough to form balls that hold together.
2. Roll about a tablespoon of the mixture into balls. Poke a hole, insert a cherry then seal it inside with the brownie mix.
3. Place the balls onto a sheet pan lined with parchment or wax paper, then freeze them about 20 minutes.
4. Next, melt the chocolate until smooth. The human tells me she used the microwave and a bit of coconut oil.
5. When the 20 minutes is up, dip each ball into the chocolate until coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place on a sheet of wax or parchment paper.
6. Once all the bombs are coated with chocolate, put the pan in the fridge until ready to eat. When ready to serve, let them sit for a bit at room temperature before serving them.
7. Enjoy! And if you’re in the neighborhood, stop by and see me sometime.
Thank you, Fang-tastic Books for hosting me today. Oh, and Casey says, “thank you” too!

Book Description:
When former vampire stripper Cherry Cordial settled on Mars with her undead family, she thought she’d left her chaotic past behind her. After finding her mate and becoming the first vampire to give birth, she’s hoping to lead a drama-free life.
Naturally, the universe has a different plan. When mysterious undead space travelers arrive, an ancient Martian plague is released, infecting the undead. To find the cure she must return to Earth. All she needs to do is travel into the past, confront her own tangled history, and not break the space-time continuum. But if Cherry’s learned anything, it’s that her life is never that easy.

Excerpt:
Tiny pokers stabbed my eyes. Another body, warm and hard, spooned against my backside. Ian always felt so good, comforting and real.His hand wrapped around my waist, cupping the underside of my breast. A cool sheet slid off my bare shoulder. I was naked and in bed. A snippet of memory interrupted my appreciation of my husband’s hand. Wasn’t I running from something . . .?Fingers trailed along my spine, heading south. The touch was wrong, unfamiliar and rough.Hold on. That wasn’t Ian. I shouldn’t feel the warmth of sun against my skin either. We lived on Mars, where it was colder than a witch’s tit. If not Ian, then who was touching my inner thigh?My eyelids snapped open like a shade on a spring. Bolting upright, I bared my fangs and grabbed the man’s wrist.Oh, holy hell. I was in bed with another man. I rolled away and slammed into a different body. Shit, make that two other men. Two eye-poppingly gorgeous men. Hey, I might be dead, but I’m not dead dead.“Mistress? Have I displeased you?” said the man whose wrist I was about to shatter. Stunning blue-gray eyes. Dark stubble lined his chiseled jawline. His dark hair was mussed and complimented his swarthy skin tone. Dried blood smeared his neck. A red trail led to puncture marks.The other man’s brown muscled chest rose and fell in rhythmic sleep. His body was fully exposed on the white sheet. Puncture marks lined his neck, his groin and his very erect penis.My cheeks heated like a furnace. Clearly, we’d had a good time.“No. Leave me. Both of you go to your rooms.” I dropped his wrist. The man woke his drowsing companion, and they left as I’d commanded. Damn. I wished I could get the other men in my life to be so compliant.Other men? There were other people important to me. Why couldn’t I remember them?I’d kill Jonathan if he was messing with my mind again.But yet... that idea didn’t feel right.Somewhere in a dead corner of my memory, this moment seemed familiar. Jonathan, sensing my unhappiness with our “arrangement,” had spent the early years of our relationship attempting to please me. This must have been my slut phase, where we’d bring home gorgeous men and I would feast and fuck while he watched. I enjoyed knowing it bothered him that I wouldn’t sleep with him. Only the mortals that we found in gaming dens, brothels, even at society events. The only other thing I would take from Jonathan besides his money was his blood, and only out of necessity.Fucking hell. Ian’s go-to phrase—I remembered him now—helped resurface the reason why I was reliving this not-so-proud moment in my past.The plague. The Lost Ship. The time stream. My daughter.Oh, dear God. I hoped she was safe.“Good morning, my pet.” Jonathan read a page of the morning newspaper while sipping tea from a dainty cup. He sat on the balcony situated outside my bedroom. From his vantage point, he could view the bed and my doings in Technicolor glory.My heart lurched at the sight of his arrogant beauty. I had forgotten how full of life he’d been, especially in this time period. And, oh, how handsome he was. His raven hair glossy with blue highlights sparkled in the early morning sunshine. The strong line of his jaw and perfect Roman nose coupled with full lips made it hard not to stare at him. He hadn’t yet acquired the weariness that having a Family would place on him.In later years, after much bitterness between us, I no longer saw him anymore. The beauty was tarnished, and we became as passionate as two coworkers passing the time until their shift ended. He had become someone I had to endure rather than enjoy. Not that I ever really “enjoyed” him because of the circumstances surrounding our sham marriage.The horrid image of his death, when he’d knelt, offering Thalia his head, shattered the peaceful moment. With a plaintive look, he commanded that I accept his fate and mine. We both knew that Thalia, the dead queen’s heir apparent, was a vindictive bitch. She blamed me for her mother’s death and Jonathan refused to bow down to her. So, he did what he always did. He protected his Family by sacrificing himself so we could escape. In his last moments, regret had filled his eyes. The wish that we could have been different together had been silenced forever.Seeing Jonathan again and remembering was worse than reopening a wound and rubbing salt in it with a lemon juice chaser. If only I could apologize to him for how awful I’d been. I hadn’t been blameless in wrecking our relationship. I could have tried harder to accept my fate instead of punishing him at every turn.The temptation to blurt out the truth bubbled inside, until I had to force myself to look away from him. Would this Jonathan be willing to help me? Or would he use my current predicament to his advantage? No. I couldn’t, wouldn’t chance it. Not with the entire colony’s lives hanging in the balance.Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve. Sew it on a patch and you’d have my life’s motto.Yup. Regrets sucked.Jonathan placed the teacup down and smiled. “Did you enjoy yourself? You seemed a bit surprised when you awoke.”Surprise didn’t cover how I felt. That word was too puny, too inadequate. After a few seconds, I found my voice again.“Yes, we had a good time. Thank you.” It sure looked that way.He acted like finding his wife in bed with other men was no big deal. It wasn’t like I would keep them. To him they were more like pets or meals with legs.
But now, with a century of wisdom tucked under my belt, instead of relishing in his annoyance, I realized something. He was sad. With himself or me, I wasn’t sure. And it didn’t matter. I had a mission to accomplish. A future to save.

Book Description:
A war has been brewing in the shadows.
Kaelyn Hamblin never felt particularly extraordinary, growing up in a strong Irish household in the heart of Boston for most of her young life. Her humdrum routine remained markedly unchanged for longer than she cared to remember; until that day. The day when a beautiful stranger drifted into her hole-in-the-wall bookshop and changed her life forever.
Tyrian knew from the moment he locked eyes on her that she was the one. His one. The singular being within all of time and space that was made for him and him alone. His world was not one of niceties and pretty things; bringing her into it would be dangerous. But he would protect her. He had to. After all, it was foretold.
Worlds collide, marking the beginning of the end to an age long battle warring between the forces of darkness and light in the universe. The fate of all rests on the shoulders of a lone druid and her band of human hunters to quell the rising tide of evil threatening to overtake everything and plunge the connected realms into eternal darkness.
“A Witty and Hot fantasy like no other.” -Stephanie Hansen, Metamorphosis Literary Agency President.

She's a loyal friend who's not afraid to tell it like it is. Like the smell of fresh popcorn, her fantasy romances tempt you and keep you coming back for more.

Before they can defeat Madhea, they must stop the vindictive sea goddess Eris from destroying the world.
Amazon Amazon UK Books2ReadSample Scene Two
The dwarf took a swig of his fiery drink, then coughed while pounding his chest, his nose and cheeks turning even redder. Alec wondered why Grim drank that poison if it made him sick, but then he was reminded of his father, always with a tankard in hand. Mother had said that his father drank to forget the past. Perhaps Grim had memories he was trying to bury, too. Grim cleared his throat before capping the flask and slipping it back inside his vest. “Aye, there is truth in that, for then the sea witch will have all the power.” Gorpat snorted, then her other eye flew open. Her brow drew down, the heavy folds nearly falling over her eyes. “Don’t say ‘witch,’ Dada.” The dwarf looked over his shoulder at his giant daughter’s scrunched features. “Sorry, my pearl.” He turned back to Alec, pulling a cloth out of his vest and wiping glistening drops of sweat off his brow. “Her ma don’t like me speaking of the demon fish so.” “Demon fish?” Alec was confused. Was he speaking of the ice goddess’s sea-dwelling sister? Grim solemnly nodded. “The torso of a beautiful maiden, the tail of a fish, but the heart of a serpent.” Alec rubbed his chin, sharing a puzzled look with Des. “You are speaking of the sea goddess, Eris?” The dwarf frowned. “Aye, ’tis the same bitch,” he mumbled, casting a wary glance over his shoulder. The giant’s eyes nearly crossed as she frowned at her father. “I’d no idea she had a fish’s tail. Is she a siren?” As far as Alec knew, the ice goddess Madhea had no tail, though his brother had told him she had wings that buzzed angrily like demonic little pixies. How strange her sister would be so different. “Nay, she is no siren.” The dwarf shook his head, snickering. “The sirens are angels in comparison.” He snorted. “I find that hard to believe.” Alec had heard too many tales of sirens luring ships to the rocks and then baring rows of shark-like jagged teeth and feasting upon shipwrecked sailors as they screamed for mercy. The dwarf’s eyes hardened. “Then let us hope you never meet Eris and find out for yerself.” “Sing the song, Dada,” the giant pleaded, nearly knocking Alec back with a wave of her hot breath. Grim looked over his shoulder at the girl, shaking his head. “Nay, my pearl. ’Tis too sad.” “Sing, Dada. Pur-lease.” He flashed her one more doleful look before heaving a resigned sigh. “Very well.” He cleared his throat, straightened his shoulders, and began with a soft hum. Alec had to strain to hear at first, but then Grim’s voice grew so deep and strong, it filled Alec’s bones with the reverberations of a snow bear’s roar. “Goddess of ash and sea.” The dwarf’s tone was so rich and pure, Alec’s heart nearly broke from the beauty of it. “Please return my child to me. Though ’tis four score since she wandered this shore, my spirit doth cry Annalie… Annalie… Annalie.” Alec stared at the dwarf through the campfire’s dancing flames, struck dumb for a long moment before he realized his blurred vision was not from the smoke or fiery drink, but from his own sheen of tears. He looked at Des, who was drying his eyes as well. Alec didn’t know if Grimley’s beautiful voice or the song’s sad story had stirred these emotions, but sadness soon turned to fear, an icy tendril coiling around his spine like a serpent threatening to choke his last thread of sanity. Realization soured his gut. “Eris steals children?”
Grim leveled Alec with a sinister glare, the reflection of the fire dancing in his haunted expression. “Laddie, the witch takes anything she damn well pleases.”

Excerpt:
“I’m leaving Monster.” Maggie said. She lit a cigarette that William didn’t know she possessed. William put down his journal. He looked over at her with a raised eyebrow, “I’m done with him.” She loved men like a tourist, William understood. She saw the best in them, was fascinated by their history and etymology, took tours and learned the topography, the geography. Then she left after three days, or a week, or maybe three months. She took pictures, she bought postcards, but she always left.
“He has a problem with drugs. I deserve something more than that.”

Jonathan Doyle is a screenwriter and novelist based in Los Angeles with his large collection of books and his trusty DVR. A native of Phoenix AZ, Jonathan grew up in Southern California and is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University with a degree in Psychology, but still can’t overcome his fear of freeway overpasses. When he’s not busy working on a new novel/poem/song/screenplay, he enjoys reading Virginia Woolf, lamenting a Lakers loss, or watching Siberian tiger videos online.
