Some creatures want to be
found.
When Dr.
Katerina Silverton travels into the Pine Barrens to make a documentary on the
Jersey Devil, she doesn't believe she will uncover any supernatural evidence.
In fact, she only takes the job because it promises funding for future projects.
So it is quite a shock to Kat when she finds herself face-to-face with the legendary
beast she was sent into the forest to capture on film.
In ancient
Greece, the god Pan made a terrible mistake which resulted in the creation of the
Satyroi: a race of immortal satyrs. Centuries later, he lives secluded in the
Pine Barrens, frightening mortals by taking the guise of an abhorrent local monster.
When a beautiful woman shows up in his forest looking for proof of his
existence, Pan can't resist revealing himself to her.
Outside
forces may be manipulating them both, pushing them together for nefarious
reasons. Kat must decide if she could learn to love a satyr or if his
appearance is more than she can handle. Can she resist Pan's wicked nature, or
will she give into the temptations beyond her wildest fantasies?
Kat
groaned as the sunlight caressed her eyelids. Mornings sucked. She opened her
eyes and the events from the previous night clicked back into her memory. Peter
was sitting on top of the chest of drawers, and his hands were resting against
the wood edge of the piece of furniture visible between his open, denim-clad
thighs. He arched a brow and smirked as he watched her become aware of him.
"It
wasn't a nightmare, was it?" Her fear wasn't with her anymore. Instead,
she felt the pull of sadness gripping her heartstrings. What would to happen to
her? Cindy and Rick must be freaking out.
"I'm
'fraid not, vixen. I owe you explanations, and now that you slept off your
denial and panic, you might be able to handle it." He snorted. "You
know the word 'panic' is derived from the god Pan's enjoyment of hiding in
bushes and startling trespassers as they wandered through the Arcadian
forests?"
Ugh, Greek gods again?
She didn't know why he found his comment so amusing, so she didn't comment on
that part of his statement. "Vixen?"
Peter
let out a great sigh, probably because she wasn't biting at his baited hook.
"Your hair and your spirit. Reminds me of a fox because of the color and
your cunningness..." He scrunched his nose up. "Is cunningness a
word? Anyway, you're also a female, ergo, vixen." He pushed himself off
the chest of drawers, the muscles in his arms flexing as he did so, and onto
the floor. He landed lightly on his bare feet—the toed variety, not the hoofed
ones. He was dressed the same as the night before. He'd lost the shirt, though,
and sported just the jeans. If he was attempting to turn her on with those
scrumptious abs and the thick, corded muscle that led into the waistband of his
jeans, she was deeply ashamed it was kind of working.
As
strange as the whole situation was, her body still reacted to his. Not as
strongly as it had the first time, but the arousal was there, beneath the
surface. Too afraid to notice it the night before, it had reared its head once
more. She worried about her reaction to him as it couldn't be natural, yet it
felt like it was.
Peter
held a hand out to her, and she warily accepted it. He pulled her to her feet
and led her into the hall. Kat half expected human hands holding elaborate
candelabras to extend from the walls, moving as they passed, like in the movie
version of The Phantom of the Opera.
Except Peter would turn around, half demon-faced, and proclaim he was the devil
of New Jersey rather than the Opera Ghost.
1. How did you start writing
erotic romance? Honestly,
I am still surprised that happened. My first book idea was for a YA. Then I had
this idea for a stand alone satyr book (the story ended up being what is now
book two: Under the Satyr Moon) and from there a series idea sprouted up and it
spiraled from there. Plus, you can't have satyrs without sex. It is like
cookies without milk: wrong. ;)
2. Plotter or pantster? A little of both. I plot out the major plot points to know where I am trying to get to and then everything in between I just let happen on its own.
3. What are three things you have on your writing desk? Pepsi, a statue of Atlas holding the world on his shoulders, and an autographed Photoshoped picture of Norman Reedus licking my face (long-not-so-long story. I Photoshopped my face on a picture to be funny. My friend printed it and took it to a convention and had him sign it. So embarrassing!)
4. Favorite food? Macaroni and cheese. It is catching up to me, I think.
5. Tell us a little about your new release. What character in the book really spoke to you? Well, it is the print version of Wicked Satyr Nights. It is the story of Kat who goes to the Pine Barrens to film a documentary on the Jersey Devil and discovers the legendary monster really exists and is actually a satyr and the Greek god, Pan. While I love both of my protagonists, the character that was the most vocal to me was Pan's father, Hermes. In fact, he is back for book two and getting a novella of his very own.
6. I write because… if I don't, I will have crazy voices in my head and will be driven slowly insane. Writing what they are telling me shuts them up…eventually.
7. What is your favorite type of character to write about? Characters with no filter. Hermes in Wicked Satyr Nights and Artemis in Under the Satyr Moon were quite fun.
8. What is the sexiest scene you ever wrote? Oh gosh. *blushes* Probably a scene that is in Under the Satyr Moon. Since it doesn't come out for a few more months, I can't really say much about it other than one character does something to tempt and taunt the other and it backfires on them…sexily.
9. What advice would you give new authors in the erotica/romance field? If you are shy like me, you will have blazing red cheeks while writing the steamy scenes, and it can halt the creative flow while trying to get things just right. I basically lay the backbone for those scenes without getting into the details on the first draft, that way I can keep the story rolling while it is in my head. On the first revision I will go into the nitty gritty details that make me think I can never let my family read my books. Hahaha.
10. What is next on your writerly horizon? Under the Satyr Moon will be out in the spring, I'm so excited! And later this year the Hermes novella should be out as well as a standalone pirate time travel novella.
