Hex and the Single Witch Vehicle City Vampires Book OneBy Roxanne Rhoads
Anwyn Rose is descended from a long line of powerful witches yet she can barely cast spells young witchlings have mastered. She has one functioning witch gift, the power of knowing, which she puts to good use as a Detective on Flint’s Preternatural Investigation Team (aka the P.I.T. Crew)

It’s a new era in Vehicle City, supernaturals are running the town. 

The P.I.T has their hands full with paranormal crimes. Top priority is a serial killer, who appears to be a vampire, draining young women in the city.

Anwyn is on the case with her sexy partner Detective Mike Malone. 
Complicating things is her relationship Galen, a vampire who looks more guilty than innocent, although Anwyn trusts her instincts even if her power is on the fritz.

Mysterious spells, compromising situations, and a possible demon on the loose make it hard to focus on the case, but Anwyn has to make things right before the human police execute the wrong vampire.

Hex and the Single Witch contains magick, a little bit of mystery, a lot of supernatural mayhem, and a sexy love triangle that will leave you wanting more.

The Editing Process for Self Pub: Guest blog and Giveaway with Lauren Harris

Confession: I’m a grammar nerd. That may not shock anyone--I mean, this is a post about editing. Then again, not all writers are pedantic about punctuation. I am. In fact, I’m so pick about proper semicolon usage that I legit got an eye twitch reading a poorly-punctuated article this week.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean I’m perfect. My friend Abbie, author of The Guild of the Cowry Catchers, once mentioned that fans of her books constantly send her emails to point out flaws in spelling or punctuation, and I know from experience that even her first drafts are fairly clean.
Copy editing is the second most important step of preparing your manuscript for self-publishing, because readers are honestly looking for any reason not to buy your book (and often, blocked writers and artists are looking for any evidence that they are somehow superior, though they have not yet sent their work out into the world, and correcting someone else’s work scratches that itch). Mostly, though, it’s because people have shit to do. Read a book with a careless comma-splice in the second paragraph? Ain’t nobody got time for that. At least, not the folks who buy your books on Amazon.
Now you’re probably wondering what the most important step is (or what I think it is, since I’m not exactly the arbiter of Indie Press Quality Control). It’s having a fantastic story/book.
Don’t roll your eyes because you’ve heard that before--we’re still talking about editing here. Part of having a fantastic story or book is the messy, painful process of delivering your brain-baby onto the page (eww). Like a baby, you’re going to be pretty protective of it for a while. You may want to show it to everyone, but if you do show your folks the product of your head-womb (how’s that for a kenning?), they sure as Loki’s got shiny gold horns better say only good things.
Because your baby is vulnerable.
Because you’re one cup of coffee short of a post-pardum meltdown and not quite ready to hear that it’s wrinkly, red, squinty, stinky, and there’s a penis-shaped birthmark on the back of your thought-baby’s head. Or maybe it’s not a baby at all. Maybe you wanted a sci-fi baby and ended up with a changeling dystopian-horror baby without legs.
Whatever. Put your baby in a drawer.*
One of the great things about indie pub is having complete creative control, but you probably wnat to have complete creative control over something that sells enough copies to construct a scale replica of Gondor in your local park. I mean, I do. For you baby to grow into that kind of mass-appeal monster, you’ve got to operate on it Dr. Frankenstein-style (but this is the 21st Century, so get a second opinion). Before you gnash your teeth about selling out, I am not talking about writing for the market or for what’s popular. I’m talking about finding the core of awesome in your story and helping it achieve its full potential.
For that, you need the developmental edit. A developmental edit (also sometimes called a substantive or substantial edit) is content editing--it focuses on things like structure, worldbuilding, character, style, theme, pacing, and other macro-level issues. In other words, this is the type of editing where a beta reader or paid professional clears their throat and says, “Hey look, your baby isn’t a sci-fi baby, but it is already a really cool dystopian-horror baby, you just have to give it legs and get a hat to cover up that penis-shaped birthmark.”
Not every story needs developmental editing. Sometimes we end up with stories that leap from our brains like Athena, gray-eyed, fully-formed and dressed in shiny, shiny armor. Chances are, though, if you’ve written a longer story, your brian baby looks a little more like Hephaestus.
In a moment, I’ll go over a few ways to go about getting a developmental edit, but first I’m going to share with you why this was such an important stage for me in the process of working on EXORCISING AARON NGUYEN.
After writing the first draft, I shared it with a few critique partners in my local group, who had a few comments, but didn’t have a ton to say about it one way or the other. Something nagged at me, because I knew I was missing something crucial element that kept it from being a great story.
I sent the manuscript to my friend Ian, who is a published author and a really stellar beta reader. He gave me back about half a page of comments, but it was one criticism in particular that really hit the nail on the head: I had set up a murder mystery, and I hadn’t delivered one. I made that bit too easy.
Partly, that was because I was resistant to writing mystery. I didn’t really read mystery unless you counted Harry Potter or my early years reading The Boxcar Children, so I hadn’t felt qualified to write it. Problem was, he was absolutely right--the murder mystery element of my story was weak, and that flaw in structure kept the story from being all it could. So I did some brainstorming with my writing group and realized that, in order to really make the story awesome, I had to rewrite most of it.
I’m so glad I did. I went from having a story I was okay with to a story I really adore, and that edit not only fixed the issue of the mystery, it helped me come up with a few characters who articulated the theme of the story more profoundly in my second draft.
After finishing the second draft, I was on twitter and ended up winning an edit from Alice M. (@notveryalice), who was new to YA, but a very keen eye and even more of a grammar goose-stepper than me. She helped me focus my characters and clarify the worldbuilding.
So how do you go about getting a developmental edit? Like almost everything, it requires some combination of time (yours or other people’s) and money. Here’s how the combination falls:
•   Hire an editor ($$$$, a little time, big reward)•   Get a critique partner (free, lots of time if you’re swapping work, no enforced time-limit, reward depends on beta reader)•   Edit it yourself (free, but the most time-consuming option, results depend on your closeness to the material and how good an editor you are)
This last one can be done in a number of ways, but if you’re going to do it, I recommend using Holly Lisle’s “How to Revise Your Novel” course. I know she’s closed the course, but you can still purchase the lessons as ebooks. They were extraordinarily helpful to me in learning about structure and spotting the problems in my own work.
The final advice I have for editing your manuscript is to read it out loud, for an audience if possible. You will hear all sorts of things when you read your own work carefully, and it can be beneficial to read your own dialog and see if it sounds like something a person might actually say. Harrison Ford once famously told George Lucas, “You can write that shit, George, but you can’t say it.”
I’m a narrator and voice actress as well as a writer, and it’s amazing the number of typos, misspellings, and sentence-rearrangement artifacts get left in published work. I’ve found loads in the books I’ve narrated, and a good number of them in my own work as I read it out loud.
So, when your head-baby has languished in a drawer for a few weeks, give it another look over and see if you notice anything that needs a little surgery, then get some content feedback from a beta-reader, an editor, a course, or the voices in your head. Once you’re happy with your baby’s basic form, have it copy edited (again, this can be hired out, begged, or done yourself, but if you do it yourself, I recommend reading it backwards sentence-by-sentence). Then read that baby out-loud, give it it’s final Dr. Frankenstein nip-tuck and send it out into the world to terrorize the locals.
Oh, yeah. And I’m supposed to do that promotion thing. Read my YA Paranormal novella, EXORCISING AARON NGUYEN. You will laugh at least once, though hopefully not at a wayward comma.

Exorcising Aaron NguyenMillroad Academy Exorcists novella seriesBook OneLauren Harris
Genre: Young Adult ParanormalPublisher: Pendragon Press
Date of Publication: August 24, 2013
Number of pages: 107Word Count: 23k
Cover Artist: Elyse Revelle
Book Description:
The murder of Millroad Catholic Academy's resident genius, Aaron Nguyen, shuts down student life at the boarding school in rural North Carolina...for about a week. With the resilience of youth, the student body bounces back, and the memory of murder is nothing but a streamer of caution tape fluttering in the breeze.
Unfortunately for them, Aaron's spirit has some resilience as well. Despite the priest's attempted exorcism, Aaron's ghost is soon breathing chills down the students' necks and hurling bunsen burners at nuns.
Georgia Collins doesn't give a shit about ghosts. All she wants is a story to prove her underground school news blog is more than a gossip column, closure on her one-sided relationship with her best friend Hiroki, and a vanilla latte. She wasn't expecting Aaron Nguyen's death to be anything more than a cold spot in the science hall, but since Hiroki has the curse of Spectral Sight, he is the only person who can see and speak to Aaron. As the ghost’s demands for attention become increasingly violent, Hiroki enlists Georgia to help him investigate the crime, claiming that Aaron isn’t likely to move on until his killers are caught. Still hoping for spontaneous romantic combustion, she agrees to help bring Aaron's murderers to justice and set the vengeful spirit free...but it's not quite the close encounter she's hoping for.

Prologue Death Toll by Robert Poulin
Death Toll Back Cover Blurb
What started out as a routine call led to so much more…
My name is Veronika Kane, and I’m the Captain of the Ghost Watch in the reborn city of Shadow Philadelphia. After we disposed of the city’s previous master and his minions, things were looking up, but in war things are never that easy. A routine call with Detective Frank Cooper blew the cover off of an elaborate scheme to plunge the city of brotherly love into chaos. When Necromancers, Were creatures, and the horrors of Chaos come together it can’t mean anything good. 
With new and old enemies joining forces against us, I’m going to need all the help I can get. Lucky for me, my old friend Frank Cooper will be there to lend a hand along with Brianna, a strong willed were-ferret, and the stormy eyed wizard Nathaniel Carter. I just hope it will be enough to save everyone.
This time, our enemies aren’t just attacking us in Limbo; this time, they are taking the battle to the streets of the living world and its unknowing citizens. If the Old Ones rise, I don’t think there will be anything anyone can do to stop them. 
My name is Veronika Kane, and this war is far from over.

Short description
A murdered college student must help the Philadelphia Police Department track down the serial killer responsible for her death and then lead an improbable rebellion against the powers that be in the ghost realm of Limbo.
My name is Veronika Kane and dying, dying was just the beginning.

How was I supposed to know that getting smashed on my 21st birthday would lead me to becoming the 9th victim of a serial killer that’s been stalking Philadelphia’s streets for months? Now I’m a ghost and unlife is pretty scary. Reapers, wraiths, ghouls, gargoyles: all of the monsters that I thought were storybook characters are real! On top of it all, the powers that be in the ghost world want to enslave me and use me in their own diabolical plot to manipulate the people of the living world. Too bad I didn’t turn out to be the kind of ghost they wanted me to be, and I’m not about to let them turn me into one of their puppets. These ghosts are responsible for my murder and the murders of eight other women.

A rebellion is coming, and the ghosts that run this place are about to find out just how big a mistake they made when they had me killed.

My name is Veronika Kane and being murdered isn't the end of my story.

Wail of the Banshees is an Urban Fantasy Novel and the first book in the exciting Ghost Wars saga which features paranormal horror and action set in living Philadelphia and the ghostly world of Limbo.

Interview with Judy Serrano

Can you tell readers a little bit about yourself and what inspired you to write in this particular genre?
I am a mom and a substitute teacher.  I wrote my first series, “The Easter’s Lilly Series,” when I went back to school to get my bachelor’s. I was suddenly inspired by all the writing classes I was taking, to write a novel. My first series was a gangster novel about the Mexican Mafia. So, when I started writing “Linked,” I thought I would do another gangster book. Then suddenly, the book took on a life of its own and BAM! Vampires.
What is it about the paranormal, in particular vampires, that fascinates you so much?
Vampires are mysterious and sexy, almost tortured souls. I love how many vampire love stories portray vamps as generally good people.

Please tell us about your latest release.
My latest release is called “Linked.” It features a substitute teacher who falls in love with a married man who happens to be involved in organized crime. He also happens to be a vampire, both facts she is not aware of at first.
After a series of unfortunate events, she meets Heathcliff Vanderpool, who falls madly in love with her. This book is about soul mates. Literally. When a vampire links to a human, they become soul mates in the truest sense, and there is no turning back.
Do you have a special formula for creating characters' names? Do you try to match a name with a certain meaning to attributes of the character or do you search for names popular in certain time periods or regions?
Actually, so far all of my main characters have a first name that links to a flower. Not sure why I started it out that way, but it has just cascaded from there. I also try to pick names that match the time period and the culture.
Was one of your characters more challenging to write than another?
Yes. Charlie Cross was probably my biggest challenge. He was so very likable in the beginning. In an attempt to make Heathcliff the more likable character, Charlie had to become slightly unfavorable. It was a challenge to turn his personality towards a darker direction.
Is there a character that you enjoyed writing more than any of the others?
That’s an easy one. I love Dante. Charlie’s brother, Dante, stole my heart. I don’t plan out my books; my characters sort of take me on a journey. Dante came out of nowhere and stole the show. He will be featured in book two of “The Linked Series.”
Do you have a formula for developing characters? Like do you create a character sketch or list of attributes before you start writing or do you just let the character develop as you write?
I do not plan one thing out in my books. I sit down at my MacBook with a basic idea and my characters create themselves. Sometimes they even surprise me.
Do any of your characters have similar characteristics of yourself in them and what are they?
My main characters always have a little something that is taken from me. Lilly in “Easter’s Lilly” is a singer, as I used to be when I was young(er). She is also blond, Irish, and a waitress. I waited tables when I was young as well. Daphne is a substitute teacher, which is my current profession aside from all my writing. The similarities end there, but I do tend to carry something of my own into my characters.
Do you ever suffer from writer’s block? How do you deal with it?
I’m almost afraid to jinx myself, but no I have never suffered from writer’s block. I have so many story ideas that I have to write them down so I won’t forget about them. I often wake up in the middle of the night when I am actively writing a new novel. Sometimes I think my publisher thinks I’m crazy because of all the ideas I have. I hope it continues this way for as long as I am able to write.
Do you write in different genres?
Yes, I write in different genres. I certainly have a recognizable style that carries over from series to series, but I have three different genres right now. “Easter’s Lilly” is romantic suspense, “Linked” is paranormal romance, and the book I’m working on now is a combination of thriller/urban fantasy/paranormal romance. I love to write about all kinds of different things.But like I said before. I usually start with a very basic idea and the voices in my head tend to speak for themselves.

What can readers expect next from you?
There will be a book 5 of Easter’s Lilly coming out September 19th, called “The Lost Years.” Book 6 will be out in 2014. Book 2 of “Linked” will be out sometime in 2014. I have a new series called “Ivy Vines, Visions.” I haven’t decided what to do with that one yet, but it is ready to go when I have a chance to release it.

Would you like to leave readers with a little teaser or excerpt from the book?
Here is a teaser from the book:
“Mr. Cross,” I started, leaning into him so that no one else could hear me. “What are you doing here?”“It’s nice to see you too, Miss Foster.”“I think we’re passed the formalities now, don’t you?” I asked.“Daphne, then.” My name played so softly on his lips that I shuddered, and embarrassingly so. He smiled. “Then you must call me Charlie.” He kissed the backs of my hands. “I see I already have a positive effect on you.”“Don’t read too much into it,” I told him. “It’s just a chill.”“Or maybe a warm sensation,” he whispered, putting his finger on my face and tracing it down to my lips. I swallowed hard and I know my face was yet again bright red.I looked over at Janice who was having a pleasant conversation with his brother. Then I looked back at him. “Does your wife know you frequent schools to pick up teachers?” I asked.“You mean substitute teachers,” he answered. I stuck my tongue out at him. “I like when you do that.”“Stop it,” I whispered harshly. “Look. I’m sure I’m not the type of woman that you’re used to. Especially since I know first hand that you’re married, and I think I already mentioned that I don’t date married men.”The waitress showed up with four shots of tequila. I looked at him in amazement. “Really?” I asked.“Come on, Daphne, let go a little,” Janice added, shining like a brand new diamond. We downed the shots and Charlie got a little too close. “I find you irresistible, Daphne.” He leaned in so that he was almost whispering in my ear. “I don’t know what it is about you, but I must have you.” He took my hand and brought it to his cheek. “What is it that you do, Mr. Cross?” I asked.“I thought we were past formalities.”“Charlie,” I corrected. “Sorry. What do you do for a living?”“I’m a businessman,” he answered. “Acquisitions are my specialty.”“And what exactly do you acquire?” I asked. “And please do not say women.”“I do not buy and sell women,” he answered, his voice getting suddenly harsh. “But when I see something I want, I go after it until it yields to me.” I pulled my hand away from his face and looked at him. He was most unsettling. “You think I’m just going to fall right into your arms, don’t you, Charlie.”
“Not into my arms, necessarily,” he answered. “But certainly into my bed.”

What Kind of Sicko Reads Horror? by John Mulhall

I recently took part in an unofficial mini-reunion with some high school friends, mostly people I’d known from my choir days, many of whom I hadn’t seen in quite a few years. It was wonderful to reconnect with them again and learn about their lives. And inevitably, as one would expect, our conversations would meander through the common catch-up clichés: are you married, do you have kids, where are you living, what do you do for work? Typically, when we’d get to that last one, they would get very excited to hear that someone they knew had written a novel – one that they could actually buy and hold in their hands – and that I was doing book tours and conventions to promote it.
The expected follow-up question would then arise: “What is it about?”
               Now I, like many contemporary horror writers have been advised against labeling our books “horror” because, well…horror doesn’t really sell as well these days; not like it used to anyway; “paranormal” and “dark fantasy” are popular sub-genres that have arisen to target specific elements of what used to be the “horror” catch-all.  And so, obediently, I answer, “It’s a supernatural thriller.”
“Hmmm”, they’d most often reply, nodding cordially, obviously not truly understanding what exactly these words meant strung together. Is it a mystery? A crime novel? One person even said, “So…it’s a religious book?” Most of the time, when I’d say “supernatural thriller,” they’d just look at me for a moment as if I wasn’t done speaking, hoping that I’d fill in the gap. And then I’d add contritely, “It’s a horror book.”
Ohhhhhhh.
And then came – often, but not always – the raised eyebrows. And the follow up questions, chiefly amongst them being: “So, why did you choose to write a horror book?”
While the reaction is not nearly as profound as it might’ve been twenty or thirty years ago, there is indeed a strange bias at work. Normal people suddenly become amateur psychologists, asking probing follow up questions, attempting to ascertain the point in my life wherein my fragile psyche was so irrevocably damaged that I’d feel the need to write – not just a short story, but a whole novel – in a genre typically reserved for the damaged and the deranged, the strange misanthropic lurkers who are unable to maintain eye contact and keep normal conversation, but who are absolutely first in line for the latest slasher extravaganza.
So, I guess the title of this post might just have easily been “What Kind of Sicko WRITES Horror?” Or perhaps they’re not being quite that judgmental. Perhaps I’ve just grown sensitive to the looks, the subtle nods, and glances down noses. Regardless, the bias, in my estimation, is this: you have to be a little damaged to write (or read or enjoy) horror.
To this, I say, unequivocally, “Bullshit”.
Before I go on, I think it’s a good time for me to say that I don’t consider myself damaged (any more than any of us are) and I’m absolutely not ashamed of what I write. In fact, I’m pretty darn proud to be a part of a genre that boasts such luminaries as Poe, Wells, Stevenson, Stoker, Jackson, Matheson, King, Koontz, Barker, Ellison, Lovecraft, Serling, and Hitchcock, and that’s just for starters. While I don’t count myself among their ranks, I am humbled to be at the same party.
I am much more dismayed by the reactions I receive because it typically means that the person I’m talking to holds a bias toward an entire genre of books, and that usually means that they don’t really know what that genre – horror – is all about. I think many of them assume horror equates to the blood and gore and sadistic torture that has taken the place of nuanced storytelling in much of the recent horror movie fare. Or that it is akin to the innumerable splatter sequels that became so popular in the eighties, and keep marching forward. If that’s the only way someone knows horror, then they don’t really know horror at all; it’s like judging a whole family by way of the two mischievous cousins you met at the roller derby.
Now, there has been many a case made in defense of horror, and I won’t delve too deeply into those here. Some say that we create fantastical horror because it’s a manageable proxy for the real horror that surrounds us on a daily basis; vampires and ghouls are much easier to battle than cancer. Others argue that horror storytelling provides a real emotional catharsis that is absolute necessary for our emotional development as human creatures. And for others, horror connects them with their innocent childlike self, full of imagination, hope, optimism, and yes, fear. But horror doesn’t have to be either empowering or hopeful to be powerful, necessarily; just look at most of Poe’s work.
But I think horror resonates with us at a deeper level, a primal one. I think we’re hard wired to appreciate the visceral reaction a good scary story produces inside of us: the surge of adrenaline, the elevated heartbeat, the sweaty palms, the rush of endorphins. We’re cavemen with no predators; for most of us reading this, we don’t worry about getting to work each day uneaten – at least, I hope we don’t. Horror allows us to tap into our lizard brain; the part of us hardwired for fight or flight, and then move safely on to the next activity in our day. It’s the same reason we enjoy rollercoasters or waterskiing or skydiving, except reading can be done from the security of our easy chair.
So do you have to be deranged to write (and read) horror?
No more so than being a rollercoaster junkie or enjoying a haunted house at Halloween. Except with horror writing, you often get lovable protagonists, memorable villains, wonderful prose, and much of the time, a deeper message, something to walk away with, to savor and return to. If you’ve avoided horror up to this point, I urge you to dive in. How cool is it to think that there is a whole genre out there ready to be discovered and enjoyed?
So, what kind of sicko reads horror?
Me. My friends. My mom. My colleagues. Parents. Children. Teachers. Students. My doctor. My handyman.
In short, damn near everyone.
When people ask me why I write horror, I have no answer. I never really made a conscious choice about what genre I would write in. It wasn’t a decision I wrestled with. The stories that fascinate me typically have horror elements at their heart. I have said before that I just love to see what humans do when facing off against an overwhelmingly evil force. Will they overcome? Do the seemingly impossible? Rise to the occasion? I’m an optimist at heart, so I think for me, the answer is typically yes. Writer G.K. Chesterson said, “Fairy tales don’t tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.” I like that very much.
              So, why do you read horror?
Geddy’s Moon
by John Mulhall

Tyler is an amnesiac, drifting aimlessly across the country, struggling to regain his lost memories. When he arrives in Geddy’s Moon, a sleepy town in the middle of the Kansas wheat fields, fragments of his past begin to resurface. 

But as he establishes new relationships in town, and spends time with the local librarian and her son, he finds himself tormented by nightmares that grow more unsettling each night. 

What horrific events took place before Tyler arrived in Geddy’s Moon? And could he have brought a terrifying – and possibly supernatural – danger along with him? 

As the pieces of his fractured memory begin to fall into place, he fears that it may already be too late to keep himself, and those he’s begun to care about, safe from a vicious evil.

Genre: Erotic romancePublisher: Total-e-Bound
Date of Publication: 16 August 2013ISBN: 978-1-78184-414-4
Word Count: 12761
Cover Artist: Posh Gosh
Book Description:
In the bar at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, Jade Bleecker celebrates with her three best friends, all of whom are there to get married - Jade is their bridesmaid, and beginning to believe that three times a bridesmaid really does mean never a bride. Tattooed, pierced and a martial artist, Jade is used to inspiring fear rather than desire in men, and even if she did find one who could handle her - well, no man is worth trusting with her body.
But, as she is leaving the bar, she comes upon a mugging in progress and, with a few swift moves, makes short work of the mugger. Invited up to the victim's room for a nightcap, she is stunned to discover he is Will Vandenmeer - billionaire poster child of the Vandenmeer hotel and casino chain, and owner of The Sanctuary, one of the best known BDSM clubs in New York City.
Jade finds herself hopelessly attractive to the sensual, dominant Will, and when he offers to induct her into the world of BDSM, she accepts... but can she truly give herself to him, and is Will ready for what Jade has to offer?


Excerpt:
“Don’t worry, you’re in no danger here. I’m putting the suite under lockdown. It’s not the first time this has happened, and I won’t have any more innocent rescuers hurt in retaliation. Bryn and Matt have radioed my team and they’re dealing with it.”
For fuck’s sake!
Jade screwed her eyes shut for a moment, forcing herself to calm down.
Okay. I don’t like it, but he’s right. Shit, what have I got myself into?
“Relax,” said Will, and Jade opened her eyes again to glare at him. “You’re safe with me. Despite what you may have heard.”
And Jade’s stomach spiralled as she remembered the other, less-publicised aspect of Will Vandenmeer.
His club.
It had created a frenzy in the press at first, but the stories had come to an abrupt halt—probably, Jade guessed, due to a heavy-handed legal team. The Sanctuary was hidden in the heart of New York City, a haven for those who lived the hardcore BDSM lifestyle. Patrons were protected, behaviour was strictly regulated, and membership was revoked for the slightest infringement. It was not a place for dabblers.
Will Vandenmeer was a dominant, and didn’t care who knew it.
‘You’re safe with me’. Will was holding her gaze now, and Jade refused to look away, although her body was rebelling against her—torn between the flutter of nerves in her gut and a stab of desire in her cunt.
Maybe she was safe with him. Maybe she wasn’t.
Or maybe she didn’t want to be.
“Okay. Tell me what you know about me.”
Jade’s fingers involuntarily clenched around the stem of her glass.
“Wait.” Will picked up his own glass, holding his other hand out as though calming a spooked horse. “Scrap that for now. Let me tell you what I’m getting from you.”
Oh really? Jade raised one pierced eyebrow at him.
“What’s your full name?”
“Jade Bleecker.”
“Nice. Jade Bleecker.” Will took a sip from his glass. “You’re a strong woman. You clearly know how to handle yourself. You’ve got at least three tattoos and two piercings that I can see, and probably more that I can’t, so you’re not afraid of pain. And you know what BDSM is, right?”
Jade nodded slowly. Where are you going with this?
“Right. And you’re curious about it.” Will was watching her very closely as he spoke, and Jade held herself very still. “But you think it means all the worst things people say. You think dominants beat their submissives down, that we don’t give a damn about their pleasure, that we expect them to give up everything for our benefit. Right?”
I’m not telling you anything. Jade could feel her face falling into a mask. If Will noticed, he made no comment.
“Are you single?”
“Mmm.”
“‘Mmm’? Okay.” Will’s eyes were dancing, and Jade’s jaw set in annoyance. “What would you say if I told you that BDSM is nothing like that, Jade?”
Silence fell between them.
“What would you say if I offered to—”
“Wait.” Jade held up a hand, cursing inwardly as she realised it was trembling.
What the hell am I doing?
You want this, a voice taunted in her head.
I don’t even know him and he’s talking about BDSM. I can’t do this. I can’t.
But the image from the bar of herself held down, tied down, putting all her trust in one man, still flickered in her head, and something inside her was urging her forward.
“Tell me what you’re thinking,” Will said, breaking into her thoughts, and Jade found herself answering without thinking.
“I couldn’t do it.”
“Do you want to?”
“That doesn’t matter. I couldn’t.”
“Why not?”
“Because I don’t trust any man with my body.” Jade snapped her mouth shut abruptly, hating the look that had come into Will’s eyes at the words.
Because I’ve been fucked over before. Because I’m a screw-up. Because I don’t need your fucking pity. Go to hell.
“That’s actually a very good reason why you could.”
Jade looked up at him, torn between curiosity and defiance.
“What does that mean?”
Will tilted his head to one side, looking her up and down. “You look like a person who might like dangerous sports. Think of bungee jumping. The danger is what attracts people, but any reputable company has a thousand regulations in place before they let anyone do it, precisely because of that danger. Right?
“BDSM works the same way. You’re right not to trust just anyone—but in the community—in my club, for instance, relationships are tightly controlled. Every Dom has rules to follow, as does every sub. Break the rules and you’re thrown out. We protect our patrons.”
Jade nodded slowly.
“Not everyone uses contracts, but even without them, limits and boundaries are agreed beforehand. So are safewords. The universal word is ‘red’, but many people choose their own. If I did anything to you that you didn’t want, you would use your word and I would stop—no questions asked. The trust is absolute.”
“I see.”
Jade reached for her drink, but her hand was shaking, and hastily she put it back on the table. As if he could tell what she was feeling, Will’s voice took on a seductive quality, and Jade bit down on her lip as a rush of desire flashed through her body.
“It’s all about needs. Ours are different, that’s all. You take pleasure in doing what I want. I take pleasure in fulfilling your needs. It has to be reciprocal.”
I take pleasure… You take pleasure… He’s talking as though we’re going to—The thought made her catch her breath. Immediately Will’s eyes were on hers, and Jade found it impossible to look away.
“Do you still think you couldn’t do it?”
“No.”
Will arched an eyebrow. “Would you like me to show you?”
I want…
“Yes,” Jade heard herself saying, unable to drag her gaze away from Will’s. He smiled.

Interview with T.F. Walsh

Can you tell readers a little bit about yourself and what inspired to write in this particular genre?
I was born in Romania, and as a young child, my dad would often tell me dark Grimm-like stories before bed. These Romanian fairy tales were passed down from generation to generation and were very dark compared to modern stories we are familiar with. But the grim nature of the stories never occurred to me at the time, and made the moral or point of the story more serious. And now, those elements trickle into my writing. It’s a part of meJ
Do you have a special formula for creating characters' names? Do you try to match a name with a certain meaning to attributes of the character or do you search for names popular in certain time periods or regions?
Getting the right name of characters plays a bit part in any story. It reveals where they’re from, a bit about their family, and if they use nicknames, we’re given even more insight.In Cloaked in Fur, my characters come from all over Europe, but I wanted them to have a wolf influenced name from those countries. So research played a huge part. 
For example:
Daciana’s name, the main character in my book, is a Romanian name that comes from Roman Dacia, the name for the region that is today known as Moldova. Some say Dacians were once known as the daoi, which means wolf.
Sandulf’s name, the pack leader, is a gothic name composed of Germanic elements meaning true wolf.
Is there a character that you enjoyed writing more than any of the others?
While I wrote my first draft of the novel, I grew completely infatuated with Enre, who is Daciana’s ex-lover. I guess when you spend so much time in a character’s head; it’s bound to influence youJ
Did you find anything really interesting while researching this or another book?
While researching animal attacks on humans, yeah, I know gruesome, I did discover that bears in the Carpathian Mountains actually wandered down into the town of Brasov, even during the day, to go through people’s garbage for food. I also learned that bears scratched tree trunks really high up to show any other bears in their territory how big were, so the encroaching bear better get out of there.
What is the most interesting thing you have physically done for book related research purposes?
I actually watched every movie and documentary on wolves I could get my hands on to study their behaviour and interaction amongst their pack. Visiting the zoo just wouldn’t cut it. I wanted to see these majestic creatures in the wild.
Do you write in different genres?
Yes. Aside from adult paranormal romance, I also write horror, fantasy and YA steampunk.
What are your guilty pleasures in life?
My biggest guilty pleasure is baking. When I need time away, I slip into the kitchen and bake a batch of snickerdoodles, or muffinsJ
What can readers expect next from you?
Right now, I’m working on book 2 of Cloaked in Fur. I’m also half way through a new young adult steampunk / fantasy novel, which is made up of three parts about six characters. It is set in a world filled with witches, steampunk monsters and magic, and at the heart of the story, there’s the struggle to find love.

Would you like to leave readers with a little teaser or excerpt from the book?
I’d love to. Here’s a short snippet from the beginning of chapter 6.
I was blown away by Connell’s confession. He had lied to the police for me, risking his career and everything he’d worked for, based only on my word. And despite the overwhelming love I felt from his actions, my insides shattered like glass. I couldn’t tell him the real truth, ever. I was the world’s biggest hypocrite. “Are you sure that’s what you want to do? I don’t want to get you in trouble.”“It’s done. Plus, I don’t want you to be interrogated as a criminal where I can’t protect you. This is why I need your honesty.”We drove in silence for a while. He soon pulled into the police station parking lot and leaned close. I guided his golden strands out of his mocha eyes. His sweet rum scent coated me as he kissed me in an urgent kind of way. Perhaps we both felt the uneasiness of our situation. After all, I’d dragged him into my mess. I melted against him, staying there until he pulled back.
