WIP Wednesday – Wicked Angels, Dark Elves, Jaguar Shifters and Demon Kings – oh my!
I have returned from my holiday, caught up on my work, and have finally completed the first draft of the next Her Angel romance series book, HER WICKED ANGEL.
It was such a relief to finish the first draft of this book. I had an epiphany last week, realising the majority of the chapters I had outlined but had yet to write were more suited to the next novel in the series. I talked it over with my writer buddy, Alexandra Marell / C A Nicks, and decided to follow my heart on this one and shift parts of the rest of the outline into the next book in the series. It makes far more sense like that. I think that was the reason I had petered out towards the end of the first draft. I knew in my heart those scenes were better suited to the next novel, but had been blind to it at the same time, leaving me with a niggling feeling that something wasn’t right.
With the first draft of Her Wicked Angel completed and sections of the book in the hands of some very helpful and lovely beta readers, I moved on to my next project. Editing the first Eternal Mates book!
I have a title for this book but it’s a secret at the moment. My first task on this project was reading the book to reacquaint myself with it and make the switch from writing about one world to another. I sat down on Sunday evening and all of Monday, losing myself in the book. I finished my read through on Tuesday morning, and I really wanted to dive straight into reading the next book in the series. I probably would have, but I haven’t even written it yet. I’m taking this as a good sign though, and I’m confident that you guys will probably want to do the same when you finish this one. There is a lot of story packed into the pages, with hot new potential heroes to steal your hearts.
I introduce five new hotties in this book alone. There are three dark elves, who are the ancestors of the vampires, and therefore heal via taking blood, so expect some biting! There’s a devoted bachelor jaguar shifter and a rough-yet-so-damn-masculine demon king in the mix too.
Can you tell I’m excited about this series?

Snippet Saturday – Author’s Choice – Sensual excerpt from Forbidden Blood (Vampire Romance Novel)
It’s time for Snippet Saturday! Each week has a theme or is author’s choice. This week the theme is author’s choice.
I delved into Forbidden Blood today for my Snippet Saturday teaser, which is a vampire romance novel. This scene takes place after the vampire hero, Kearn, has taken his human heroine, Amber, to a ball in order to lure out the man who is after her, only for that vampire to get his hands on her and end up tasting her blood. Kearn has saved her and taken her back to his apartment, and needs to deal with her injuries…
Kearn waved his hand over his apartment door and it opened. He closed it with the same gesture once inside and carried Amber across the large white room to his bedroom. He carefully laid her down on his bed. She didn’t stir, not even when he turned on the light.
“Amber,†he whispered and touched her cheek.
He lost his hold on her blood, the connection between them severing and leaving him cold and alone. She lay on his bed, white against the brown covers, looking like death.
Kearn tried to talk to her blood again. Nothing happened. She had passed out. It would keep her safe from the vampire but it worried him. He wasn’t used to dealing with humans so didn’t know how bad this was. A vampire could lose consciousness from lack of blood and come around only a moment later. He didn’t know how long a human would take.
He removed his black uniform jacket and placed it over her to keep her warm, and then ran around the foot of the bed and into the bathroom. He wet one of the brown hand towels and came back to her, and drew the jacket away from her chest. Blood caked it in a thick line down from the left side of her neck. He gently cleaned it off her and then took the black napkins away from her throat.
Bits of the tissue stuck to the blood on her throat. He picked them off, careful not to disturb the cut, and then concentrated on cleaning around the wound.
The dried blood slowly cleared to reveal the cut. It was shallow and only half as long as his little finger, stopping just before her artery. Tonight would have gone differently if it had reached there. He would have had to seal the wound in the ballroom and suffer the consequences.
The precision of the cut backed up his earlier thoughts about the vampire. He hadn’t intended to place her in any serious danger. He had only wanted to confirm her as a Source Blood and control her.
Kearn wrapped the damp towel around his fingers and dabbed at the cut. Tiny beads of blood lined it in spots where the skin hadn’t begun to heal.

Snippet Saturday – Circle in the Sand – Excerpt from Her Demonic Angel (Her Angel Romance Series Book 5)
It’s time for Snippet Saturday! Each week has a theme or is author’s choice. This week the theme is Circle in the Sand – featuring warm weather / the great outdoors.
This week the snippet is from the fifth book in my Her Angel romance series, Her Demonic Angel.
Erin walked the shore hand in hand with Veiron. She had wanted to go straight back to their villa and make love with him but he had insisted that they walked a while, and while she had been annoyed at first, she was glad that he had suggested it. It was strangely peaceful on the empty beach under the moonlight, Veiron’s fingers locked tightly with hers, his large hand engulfing her smaller one and keeping the chill off her skin. Palms fringed the sweeping shore and the warm water washed over her feet, the sound of the shallow waves steadily puncturing the near silence. The noise of people at the complex was nothing but a distant hum this far along the beach. The only competition the waves had was the occasional party at one of the villas and they had left the last of them behind a few metres back.
A breeze blew in off the ocean, carrying the scent of saltwater, and Erin shivered.
Veiron stopped, untangled their hands, and wrapped his strong arm around her, pulling her against his bare chest. Erin snuggled into him and looked up, meeting his gaze. His eyes were black in the moonlight but not dark. They were warm and soft, full of feelings that she felt mirrored in her own heart.
She lifted her hand and cupped his cheek, sweeping her thumb over his lower lip. She wanted to tell him again to be careful when he went to Hell but couldn’t find her voice, didn’t want to spoil this moment between them. It wouldn’t be their last. Nothing would happen to Veiron. Marcus would go with him and together they would be safe.
Erin kissed him instead, tiptoeing and gently capturing his lips. She kept it light, bare brushes of her lips against his, her emotions running wild with her. Veiron surprised her by doing the same, sweeping his mouth over hers and holding her close to him, his hands gentle against her back.
He drew away, breathing hard as though he had run for miles rather than stood still on a beach and kissed her. She was breathless too, alive with emotion and warmth, with all of her feelings for Veiron.
“I keep thinking about something,†he said and he sounded so serious that she pulled further away so she could see his face. He smiled wickedly. “Hot tub.â€

WIP Wednesday – Her Wicked Angel with new sneak peek and other book news
I’m still working on the next Her Angel romance series book, HER WICKED ANGEL.
I didn’t manage to get the book completed in first draft before I went on holiday to Italy. I took it with me on my Kindle though, and after reading a couple of books by another author, I began reading it over to reacquaint myself with the novel. I finished reading it on Tuesday morning and I’m very pleased with it so far. I’ve just sent over the first 30,000 words of it to some beta readers to see what they think of it and get working with them on it.
The turnaround on this novel is pretty tight but I’m hoping that I can get it out in September / October this year. I had wanted it out at the start of September, but due to the funk I was in for the first part of the year (and I’m still struggling to shake), it’s going to end up pushed back or it will turn into a rush job and I hate rushing my work. You guys deserve the best quality read I can give, and that means I need to do things right and take my time with the editing and proofreading of the book.
I’m hoping that I can get the book completed next week, and then it will have to rest for a period before I can begin editing it. Having read over the first 110,000 words of the novel, I know it’s in very good shape already and just needs some minor work to boost the description in places, up the tension and drama, and inject more of that emotion I love pumping into my books.
I’m not sure what I will be writing once I have a break from Her Wicked Angel. I’m debating whether to begin work on editing the first Eternal Mates book, or work on the next Vampires Realm book. It’s hard to say which it will be. I should write another Vampires Realm book, but my heart isn’t in it right now. My muse wants me to write new series and new worlds, and I think that’s because I’m concerned that at 10 books, the Vampires Realm series has become too big for many readers’ tastes, and it puts them off reading it… even though it’s a series where the majority of the books work as stand alone novels. It always makes me sad when I have to make the tough decisions – writing what will get sales and new readers versus writing what I would love to write in an ideal world where I didn’t need to pay bills, feed myself, my cat and other things. I don’t think it helps that I feel I should write the next Vampires Realm book. Whenever I feel pressurised into writing a book, my muse instantly clams up and gives me hell. Maybe I can fool him into cooperating by reading over the notes for the book and pretending that my schedule really isn’t that bad that if I write another book from scratch, as opposed to editing one I already have written, I probably won’t have another release after Her Wicked Angel this year.
Eep!
Here’s a new teaser from Her Wicked Angel… all first draft because I’m only just writing it so forgive any errors…

Snippet Saturday – Hot Pursuit – Excerpt from Unleash (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series Book 6)
It’s time for Snippet Saturday! Each week has a theme or is author’s choice. This week the theme is Hot Pursuit – Going after the one you love.
This week my snippet comes from Unleash (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series #6).
Aurora scooted away from him and off the bed. Snow sat up and tried to catch her arm before she could distance herself any further, wanting to finish what she had started even when he knew he shouldn’t.
She stared at him, her eyes wild with the panic he could feel in her emotions and the frantic beat of her heart, overshadowing the lingering trace of her desire, and then bolted for the door. She was out of it before he could get the covers off him.
Snow growled, hit the floor running, and gave chase. The lights were on in the black-walled corridor. His gaze sought her, his head whipping to his left. She had already reached the end of the hallway. Rather than heading down the staircase, she went up another one further back in the corridor. The roof. She intended to fly away from him.
He damned well wouldn’t let her.
He refused to let her run from her feelings any longer.
He sprinted after her, bare feet landing heavily with each long stride, and took the stairs two at a time, following them upwards.
“Aurora,†he called out but she didn’t slow. She kept running into the darkness ahead of him, her small feet making no sound on the steps. Her wings hadn’t made an appearance yet. Was that a good sign?
Snow couldn’t take comfort from it. She was still running from him after all. She intended to leave him again and he feared he would never see her again if he let her get away.
She hit the storage level at the very top of the theatre and kept going.
“Aurora.†Snow tried again, hoping she would listen to him this time. “Do not run from me.â€
Not only because he wanted her to stay.
