5 Favourite things
1.      Movies. Especially sci-fi/fantasy, paranormal/supernatural, and comic-based movies. I also count those types of TV shows, ie Supernatural, Jessica Jones, Arrow etc.
2.      Books. Does that surprise you? Hehe
3.      Pets. I love my pets, and can’t wait to get more. We already have 1 dog, 2 cats and 3 snakes. We also want another dog, horses, chickens… we want a menagerie!
4.      Quiet times with my fiancĂ© and our daughter, or just one-on-one time with either of them. I don’t care if it’s at home or out. “Us time” is always magical.

5.      House planning. Sounds weird, I know. But I love looking at houses for sale, especially ones with floor plans, and imagining what furniture would go in it, themes, and yes, even making my own floorplans. I have considered doing interior decorating, and haven’t yet ruled out chasing that path. 




She's one powerful Goddess, with acolytes she loves as children. They're her coven, and she will protect them however she can. She is Hecate. As she wills, So Mote It Be.

This inclusion tells the tale of a powerful coven in Salem. They face off against Bokors, demons and fellow witches. Will the power of their Goddess be enough to protect them as they fight to keep Salem safe? Will the women who lead them get the love they desire? Or will they burn in the fires that condemned their ancestors so many years ago?







Darkness surrounded her, smoke and the metallic scent of blood filled her nostrils. Panicked screams and bellows echoed around her as she fumbled about. She couldn’t tell which form she was in, human or stag, she was simply overwhelmed. Out of nowhere, fiery red eyes appeared in front of her. White fangs gnashed together in a sadistic grin. The figure came closer, allowing her to see it clearer. Wrinkled skin cracked and oozed as the blackened flesh moved. The foul apparition had been born of fire, she was sure, brought here to destroy and devour. Large, leathery wings sprouted from its back, the bony frames licked by flames that seemed to come from the creature itself. It was a nightmare summoned from the bowels of Hell, just one of many. If she didn’t stop it, they’ d consume the world, at the word of one scorned witch. She needed to get to the root of the problem, Hilana, before it was too late.
“Morgan!”
She opened her eyes at Caleb’s call, his face filling her field of vision. He pursed his lips and frowned, and it took her a moment to realize she must have fallen asleep and called out in a dream.
“Morgan, you were having a pretty bad nightmare, what happened?”
“It wasn’t just a dream; it was a foreshadowing.”
“That bad, huh?”  Caleb sat on the window seat next to her. 
“I don’t know what Hilana will promise them, but the demons will devour the world for her. She’s beyond seeking simple revenge. She has been twisted by her own magic and foul attitude into something truly evil.”
Caleb whistled. “So it’s a good thing Junie returned while you were sleeping.”
Morgan sat upright. “What did she find out?”
“You’re right, she isn’t just after simple revenge. Junie was able to get close enough to the sigils to look them up in the books now she’s back. It’s not looking good. They’re cacodemon sigils. She thinks Hilana will trade them free reign to create havoc, as long as they first destroy everyone who has done her harm.”
Morgan’s throat constricted that the mention of cacodemons.  “She’s crazy.”
Caleb nodded. “That was Siobhan’s diagnosis as well.”
“When does Junie think Hilana will summon them?”
“At the full moon on Friday.”
“Damn. That doesn’t give us long. Any suggestions on preventing the summons to begin with?”

“You mean besides burning down the house with Hilana in it?”




Award winning, bestselling author Phoenix Johnson has always been intrigued by the written word. Even when she was a young girl, she usually had her nose stuck in at least one book, and her need to read would drive her to peruse the back of the same cereal box each morning at breakfast. Paranormal and fantasy captured her heart, with tales about dragons, magic, and fanciful creatures sweeping her away to a wonderful new world where she felt she truly belonged.
Phoenix Johnson has had her nose to the grindstone, working to make her name known. With only a few months left to the end of her Bachelor of Arts Degree, she is eager for more time to focus purely on her writing.  Phoenix is extremely excited to see where her writing career takes her next.

Excerpt from Malediction by Erzabet Bishop

Alistair spotted the gorgeous brunette across the room and, when she approached the refreshment table, he followed. For a millisecond he’d taken her for the scrawny woman in the red dress, but on closer inspection he was pleased to note the differences. Same dress, but the way this woman wore it, he was tempted to peel it from her, inch by scrumptious inch.
 His pack mate had poured a few bottles of something into the punch and, while it was entertaining to watch some of the guests succumb to the antics of the season, he didn’t quite feel the same about the sexy female in front of him. This woman would be far more interesting sober, he had a hunch and his predictions usually turned out to be spot on. The markings on her arms intrigued him and he wondered if they covered more of her body. Like tendrils of smoke curling around her flesh, they spiraled around her skin in an unending pattern, giving him the urge to trace every single one and see where it led.
He should be home at Briarwood, but his duties as Beta brought him here to make sure Jessup didn’t get too out of hand. So far the pup had been a bit mischievous, but nothing that would make him worry. Whatever concerns he had melted when he gazed at the beauty in front of him, his animal taking control.
Serious gray eyes winked at him from behind an elegant lacy black mask and he had the urge to peek beneath it to see what she was hiding. Full lips bowed below the mask, and her mass of dark hair was wound into an up-do that he longed to plunge his fingers into while he explored her mouth with his.
Jesus, Alastair. Get a grip.
His wolf perked up when she’d come into view and his instinct to bed her followed in quick succession. He shook it off with a frown. One night stands were not his style, especially with women he didn’t know. He had other concerns and, as soon as he made sure Jessup wasn’t going to fuck up and intoxicate half of the wealthier citizens of Salem, he was out of here. Duncan was still missing and he’d left Laurel in charge in his stead.
But, her eyes. Fuck. They fairly glowed with a power that socked him in the gut as they watched him from behind the mask. When she wet her lips and took her bottom lip between her teeth, he almost lost the battle with himself not to let his beast take over and drag her into the nearest coat closet.
“Are you here with someone?” He cleared his throat, aware of the growl threading through his voice.
“No. Are you?”
“Just a couple of friends. What do you think? Want to end up in a compromising situation with a stranger?” He grinned and, seeing Jessup approach, steered her away from the refreshment table. Alistair wanted her to himself, at least for a little while.
“Seven deadly sins? How about a dance? With my footwork, that could lead towards all kinds of infractions.”
“Hmm.” He swung her into his arms and into the crowd, relishing the sensation of his hand on her lower back. The plunging view offered by her bodice made his body stand at attention and the wolf beneath his skin whined with want. “So, which deadly sin could you possibly have that would sink a guy faster than lust? That dress…”
“These shoes.”
“Oh, but those… those are not a sin. Not at all. In fact, I could look at them all night long.”
“You could, could you?” The woman laughed, deep and sensual. Her eyes snapped with amusement. “Then you try wearing them.”
“Maybe I will.” He wanted her, and the closer they got, the more obvious it was going to become. He weaved her around the dance floor, her movements matching his. Her perfume and the spicy scent of her hair were making it hard to concentrate. At the look in her eyes, he dragged her back hard against him, his animal wild in his blood.
“Do you want to get out of here?”
“Please.”
 “Let’s get some air.” Alistair led her out onto the balcony, the twinkle lights flickered making the grounds outside the hotel look enchanted. He had to clear his head.
“Who are you?” Alistair brushed a strand of hair away from her face.
“I’m just a girl who needs an escape from reality. How about you?”
“Same here.”
“Just a girl, huh?” The mystery woman smiled.
He gathered her into his arms, letting her feel the full force of his arousal. “I don’t know. I’m not feeling much like a girl right now.”
“No. I didn’t think you were.” She leaned into his embrace, her lips curving up in an inviting smile.
“What’s your name?”
“Bridget. Yours?”
“Alistair.”
“Well, Alistair. It’s nice to meet you. I have one question.”
“What’s that?”
“How long is it going to take for you to kiss me?”
“Time me.” Alistair’s mouth covered hers hungrily and he forced her mouth open with his thrusting tongue. She gasped, trembling within his embrace and he pulled her deeper into the shadows, away from prying eyes.

The Strix Virtual Tour




The Strix
By Katalina Leon & Amber Skyze
Book one The Bag Of Tricks series

Genre: Paranormal erotic-romance, vampire, historical, parallel worlds.
Publisher: Loose Id LLC

Date of Publication: July 17, 2012
ISBN: 978-1-61118-906-3
ASIN: B008MH8FTG

Number of pages: 262
Word Count: 83,134


Book Description:

A cursed amber amulet unearthed in Pompeii flings Arcona into a past life of witchcraft, bloodshed, revenge, and sexual slavery to the cruel Master of a gladiatorial school. This violent parallel world is populated with “Slayers,” blood-drinking immortals devoted to the gods of war and mayhem.

As a Strix, or malignant witch, Arcona once used sex and blood rituals to create a race of immortal warriors to unleash on Rome. Now it’s time to pay.

The gladiator Tyr was one desperately lonely lover she betrayed. Against his will, she turned him into Upir Likhyi, a foul vampire. For two millennia he’s lived a grim existence as a Slayer, in constant sexual arousal yet denied release; now, he's pissed off and wants revenge. He kidnaps Arcona, planning to drink her dry and break the curse.

Along the way Arcona and Tyr relive their sexual slavery at the hands of Rome and blood sport in the arena, but the real magic is they forgive and fall in love.

Too bad another Slayer wants them dead.



Overall:

If you enjoy books with a historical and contemporary flair, then give this one a whirl. Witches, gladiators, blood, curses, betrayals and of course, some sexy vampires with attitude problems. I loved it. When the book opens up, we are in the past as a priestess tries to find her calling. It comes in the form of blood and fire. Next, we are in the present, wandering the streets of Salem. I am a sucker for witch stories, especially in Salem. 

I loved the flow of this story and the imagery. You can smell the arena, the gladiators and feel the anguish of the characters. The dialogue is spot on and the erotic scenes are super hot. I hate giving too much away, but if you enjoy an adventure that crosses time, curses, vengeance, hot sex and some hotter vampires, then this book is for you. There are some elements of f/f erotica and anal play, but that only made the story even hotter.


5/5

When did you decide to write erotica?

Katalina: I decided to start writing erotica soon after I bought my first Ellora’s Cave book. I realized the day of the repressed romance novel was over and I wanted to get in on the fun.

Witches are sexy. What inspired The Strix?

My late friend Arcona, inspired me to write The Strix. She was Germanic and carried a strong sense of mysticism about her. As for witches isn’t a woman who has dark desires and is willing to take control of her world always a sexual force of nature?

What are some of your favorite erotic authors?

I love too many contemporary erotic authors to name here but I’ve always admired the crisp, clean BDSM style of my writing partner Amber Skyze. Another early inspiration was Pauline RĂ©age the author of “The Story of O”, which I found eye-opening and devastating at the same time.

Martini vs. Margarita?

Katalina: I’m not much of a drinker, but a dirty martini with an extra olive sounds kind of nice, especially if Daniel Craig would come to my home and join me in a toast.

What is your favorite erotic genre?

Katalina: I change favorites all the time but lately paranormal and shape-shifters keep grabbing my attention. These days shape-shifting males seem to be more strongly associated with noble, decent and loyal behavior than human males… What’s that about? But who cares it’s exciting to read.

Did you craft a playlist with the book?

Katalina: Yes, I had favorite music I played obsessively. The writing schedule moved fast and I felt pressured to complete two full lengths novels at the same time. As far as I’m concerned pressure calls for Nine Inch Nails. The more pressure I felt the louder I played Nine Inch Nails. If anyone wants to see what I’m playing while I write please visit my Katalina Leon YouTube channel, all my favs are listed there.



So are my book trailers. This trailer is for The Strix and features a little NIN.

Tell us about the toughest scene you ever had to write?

Every love scene is the toughest scene I’ve ever written. All sexual scenes are agonizing to write. I refuse to write sexual content by formula. I want to feel it. Anything less is not fair to the reader or me. I get tangled up in what I’m writing and go slow.

Garden salad or cheeseburger?

Katalina: Why choose? I love blue cheese on both.

What one thing would you tell an aspiring erotica author?

Katalina: Give yourself permission to go there.

What are you working on now?

Katalina: A lot. Between Amber and I, book two in The Bag Of Tricks book series “Claimed By Dragons” will be available from Loose Id Publishing September 28th. Books three and four are close behind. Solo, I have a very sexy Irish themed shifter tale heading to Ellora’s Cave. There’s also an ancient world historical series on the horizon.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for being a lovely hostess.

Great to have you ladies here on the blog!



Author Bio Katalina Leon:

I’m an artist, an author, mother and wife. I write for Loose Id Publishing and Ellora’s Cave. I try to bring a touch of the mystical and a big sense of adventure to everything I write because I believe there’s a bold, kick-ass heroine inside all of us who wants to take a wild ride with a strong worthy hero.
