Blurb:
Two gargoyles and a woman who needs them…
Medina Argos is a woman on the run from her present and her past. One of three sisters in an international art theft ring, she flees when a routine art heist goes too far. But this curvy girl is about to learn that some hearts beat to a different drum and the road to love is sometimes the less traveled one, even for a woman with secrets.
Thomas Sauveterre is a renowned art restoration specialist. Nothing is more important to him than his daughter, Gabrielle. When he takes on the largest project of his career, he also gains a security officer in the bargain. But love can be hiding in the most surprising places if he can only open his heart to find it.
Grayson Maberry is a man on the brink. Charged with protecting property and guarding the family he’s currently assigned, he is torn by duty and a love that may never be. But a true guardian will wait forever and this gargoyle may have just met his match. Twice.

Excerpt:
“Oh my God. Will you just shut up?” Medina Argos growled under her breath as the snakes beneath her skin hissed and whispered. It was the same word, over and over again and she was about to lose her damned mind.
Pretties...
Yes. Pretties. She needed to find a new pretty or her sisters were going to have her head on a spit—and that was before breakfast. She massaged her temples and willed the pounding in her head to freaking stop. The print of the newspaper spread across the table swam like ants in front of her eyes. She lowered her lids, blocking out the bright daylight streaming in through the blinds. Her snakes loved the light but she on the other hand wished it would cloud up and rain like hell. Then at least the migraine would stop. Just another thing for them to disagree about.
The gallery exhibits laid out in the entertainment section tugged at her consciousness but nothing really rang true. Maybe it was the headache.
Pretties...
“Ugh.” She reached for her coffee and took a large gulp.
The full moon was right around the corner and her snakes were at it hard today. Their voices were a snarl of murmurs that were ever so slowly driving her insane. And they really needed another thing to focus on. Like maybe where she could go to find a good brownie. Or some chocolate chip pancakes. But all they wanted to whisper about was the one thing she couldn’t get them to agree on—their next mark.
“Would you hurry up, already?” She mumbled, poking her stylus into her hair. They hadn’t popped out for a visit yet today, but if this headache kept up, goddess only knew. Temperamental at best, her girls were moody man-hating bitches most days and that was saying something.
So she talked to her hair. Most shifters she knew had the same dual natured problems she did, only they weren’t stuck having snakes for hair and an ass that turned into a giant snake rear end. Well, to be fair, her legs sort of turned into the back end of a giant snake, but it was all semantics. On most people’s scale of sexy, snakes weren’t high up on the list. Hell, they probably weren’t even on the list, but when you’re smote by a goddess, it isn’t like you have much say in the matter.
Other people she’d come across in her travels had at least been wolf shifters or even cats. She, on the other hand, was afflicted with a mythological curse that left her hissing at the moon instead of howling at it. One of the snakes wiggled in her hair and she absentmindedly poked at it with her stylus.
“Not yet. Go back to sleep.”
There went the coolness thing again.
The snakes hissed at her in censure and she sighed. She reached for her cup of coffee and took another sip. The hot black liquid slid over her tongue, cinnamon and earthy. The morning had come too soon. Nightmares woke her in the middle of the night, shaking and sweating, just like clockwork. Her throat closed up like it did when the bastard in her nightmare closed his hand around her neck, cutting off her air, his eyes narrowed into slits filled with rage filled spite.
Favored by the goddess...You’ll be crawling by the time I’m done with you.
And she had been.

The Medusa's Gargoyle by Sally Max


Author Interview:


1. How did you start writing erotic romance?
I guess it started when I opened my laptop, and started a document. In all honesty, I read some romance, and realized, "hey, I could write this stuff, and I bet it would be fun too!"
2. Plotter or pantster?
I'm approx 60-75% Plotter and approx 40-25% pantster.  I usually have a sense of where I'm going with a story, and several scenes in my head, but how I get from point A to point Z may have a few points that are pure pantster. I like to give myself the freedom to explore the characters and the scenes to see where it wants to go. I find scenes flow better that way. I try not to force anything on my characters and have them experience their world as the plot unfolds.
3. What are three things you have on your writing desk?
I have my laptop, my fluffy kitty, and typically I will have a drink.
4. Favorite food?
I just had the most amazing fish and chips at Epcot in London. It was really good, and I can't wait to go back. I'll probably be obsessed with something else next week, but right now that sounds really good.  The fries had malt vinegar with it, and the fish was light, fluffy and not at all greasy. Really good.
5. Tell us a little about your new release. What character in the book really spoke to you?
Drucilla in my book The Medusa's Gargoyle, really spoke to me. She is a medusa-human shifter, that can't control her shift. I really like the idea of a character who isn't all powerful. I read too many stories where the characters don't have any flaws and can instantly shift, and perform on command. I really liked the idea that she can't control it.
6. I write because it is my creative outlet.  If I can't do something creative, I feel like I'm going to explode.
7. What is your favorite type of character to write about?
My favorite character to write about is a character that I can relate to. I feel like if I can relate to them, then other people will as well.
8. What is the sexiest scene you ever wrote?
The sexiest scene in this story has to do with a river flowing, and—**CENSORED**
9. What advice would you give new authors in the erotica/romance field?
I would tell them to enjoy what they are doing because I really think the erotica/romance field can be so much fun, that I would hate to see someone writing romance when they really don't love doing it.
10. What is next on your writerly horizon?
I'm currently working on three pieces, a zombie piece, a reboot on a Shakespearean play, and a Christmas piece for next year!  I have my plate pretty full right/write now! :-)

The Medusa's Gargoyle


Blurb:

Legend has it that anyone that looks upon a medusa will never live to tell the tale. However, fate has different ideas...
Drucilla, a medusa-human shifter, is unable to control her transformations, which puts every living creature near her in danger of becoming stone. Her sisters have given her ten years to teach herself how to control it, but she is down to her last few days, and still cannot do it.
Az, a gargoyle, is cursed to turn to stone every sun rise and to only be released from his rock tomb every sunset. He is the only living being that Drucilla has seen survive her medusa stare. Can he help her control her shifts or will she be forever alone, too afraid to face anyone ever again?


Excerpt:

Drucilla!
She had followed him. If they found out she was the one—
The mob stopped, placing him in the middle of the two statues. Someone behind him ripped off the cloak, revealing his true self. Az took the moment of surprise to raise his wings. His wingspan was massive, at least two or three times his height. Drucilla had taken the opportunity to sneak out of the alley toward the crowd. He rushed over to her, grabbing her and hugging her tight to his chest as one would do a captive.
She squealed and struggled. Her hair whipped around her head in a flurry of its own.
"Change now," he breathed in her ear.
Feeling her tense, then release, her hair sank down atop her head.
"He has a hostage!" A woman yelled from the crowd. The mob quieted as he maneuvered himself back toward the statues. The archers surrounded him in a circle and he was afraid of them getting a bit too anxious with their arrows.
Drucilla had dropped her head so that her hair fell over her face. The shift of her body, rubbed against him and he found himself reacting to her warm presence.
"By the gods..." Az mumbled under his breath.
It made her turn, rubbing her warm behind against his lower regions. He felt himself harden.
"What?" she whispered.
"Stop moving."
"Why—" she moved slowly in his arms, and she must have felt why. "Oh."
