The Eslites:The Arrival Interview
Check out my video interview with book blogger, Justine Vandale, as she asks me questions about my new YA Sci-Fi release, The Eslites:The Arrival.

The Eslites: The Arrival
Today, I’m super excited because I’m finally releasing the continuation of the short story, The Eslites, I published this past January. I never expected this short story to get so much attention and fan mail. I was shocked, to say the least, when readers begged me to continue the story line. In all honesty, I hadn’t even considered turning it into a series until the request came in. At the time, I was consumed with searching for an agent and publisher for my upper YA Fantasy Romance, Element Part 1 and 2. So after deciding to self-publish that series I took the time this summer to write out the plot and series story arc and start the writing journey for this book.
The Eslites: The Arrival will be avaiable exclusively on Amazon for the next 3 months and then will hit all the eBook retail sites. Look for special pricing on Amazon during this time period. Even if you don’t care for Sci-Fi or Dystopian stories, I hope you will give my story a chance and see how I can spin science fiction into an understandable reality for both females and males mixed with lots of action, plot twist and of course romance!

Return of the Vampire From Hell!
Thanks so much CM for letting me be on your blog today. It’s great to be back writing after a year’s absence. Last week, I released the 4th installment in my paranormal fantasy series, The Vampire from Hell. Thanks for having me on your blog today!
About The Vampire from Hell Returns (Part 4)
Blood of the gods has brought a new dimension to Rayea’s life as the vampire from Hell. In the fourth installment of the Vampire from Hell series, Rayea juggles her new responsibilities and starting a relationship with her best friend, Blick. Soon Rayea realizes her sordid past with her family may be catching up with her, and she’s going to have to deal with it once and for all. When two of her friends go missing, she knows she must begin a search to find them. And the first place she has to look? Hell.

Excerpt from The Vampire from Hell Returns (Part 4)
If I could count the times I have woken up tied to a chair, I’d be a millionaire by now. That’s where I found myself when I heard the voice of Stephanie, my demon sister.
“Welcome to Hell! We’re having a party in your honor, and you’re sleeping through it,
sssister,” she hissed.
I felt a blow blast across the right side of my head. A hit delivered by someone I couldn’t see. A blow for my sister’s amusement.
“What a lovely welcome home, dear sister!” I said sarcastically as I raised my head.
It was on now. I smacked my mouth open wide, cranking my neck upwards as I extended my fangs. The freakier I could look, the better, I thought. When I surged my head upwards, a sharp pain sliced into my neck. Something restrained me. My fangs flipped inwardly and retreated to their hiding spot in the roof of my mouth. I tasted my own blood, and I had not bitten my tongue. This could be bad, I thought.
“I’d be careful if I were you, sissy,” Stephanie said. “That collar has spikes going into your neck. The more you move, the more Typhean there will turn the corkscrew that holds the collar together. The spikes are drilling into your neck. If you jump suddenly, it’ll rip your head off, and then where will you be? One dead vampire.”
