Welcome, Angelica. Thank you for
being with me today.
Thank you for hosting me. I've been
by here often in the comments, first time up here.
We're glad to have you back. What started you on the path to
becoming an erotic romance author?
Fanfiction. I jumped back into
writing after reading Twilight and was astounded by the volume of fanfiction
out there, and the proportion that was NOT rated like the books. I had my own
ideas of what went on when Meyers faded to black, so I started there. It wasn't
long before it was my characters having wild sex instead of hers.
Woot! *Fans self* Congratulations on
your recent release of Blue Moon House
with Naughty Nights Press. Introduce us to the main characters and premise of
your story.
Julia has been a submissive in the
House for over a year. She's spent that time with Harry, her Master. After
getting to know her so well, Harry doesn't want to let Julia go. He wants her
to become a vampire like him and the other Doms of the house. Before they can
accept her, though, each vampire needs to know her as well. Each one has their
own test, their own trait or limit they want to find in Julia, so each one
pushes her hard.
Did anything in particular inspire
this story?
Through the fanfiction I'd been
reading a lot of stories that seemed to push boundaries just for the sake of
doing it. I wanted to have story with a reason for hitting every beat. That
meant my characters in my scenario.
What made you pick vampires as your
paranormal creature of choice?
Did I mention I read Twilight? That
wasn't the only reason. I thought the trust needed to let a vampire drink from
you, knowing they could kill was idea in a submissive. I also made my vampires
vulnerable. So they need to trust their submissives just as much.
What other projects are on the
horizon for you that we’re likely to see?
I have a short story that released
the same day as Blue Moon House. The Highest Bidder appears in Campus Sexploits
3 and is a lot more vanilla than BMH (no vampires, no BDSM). I have a couple
other short pieces out there that may appear at some point in the future, but
my main project right now is the prequels for Blue Moon House. Each of these
vampires has their own story and I'm rolling back through time to tell them.
Thank you for joining me today,
Angelica, and we look forward to all your upcoming releases!

EXCERPT of Blue Moon House:
“MmmmMmmaximum.” Julia
wept loudly. Blood was trickling down her back and over her breasts where the
cruel whip had broken her skin. She burned everywhere, stinging from her first
beating at his hand, and then adding the salt of sweat, the blood. Sagging against
the chains that held her mostly upright, she sobbed bitterly.
The whip was gone and
Harry was there, releasing her wrists. “Terrance. Did you have to be so hard?”
The tall, icy man softened
for the first time Julia had seen. “Everyone has a limit. If she would join us,
I would know hers. Now, I do. Take care of her, Harrold.”
Julia’s mind logged the
response but couldn’t think about it in the midst of the pain. Harry was
licking her wounds, his saliva closing them faster but burning them further.
Julia screamed again.
“Hush,” Harry said with
concern, his voice soft and familiar, a raft for Julia to grasp in the sea of
pain. There was a stabbing in her leg.
“That will help. You will
sleep soon, Julia. In the morning, the pain will be much less, I promise,”
Terrance told her, pulling her hair off her face and mopping it with a cool
cloth.
“I-I’m not...” She didn’t
know how to ask if she was unworthy.
“You impress me, Julia. I
look forward to having centuries to get to know more of you, other
limits.”
Julia flinched, crying out
and hugging Harry. Terrance laughed and the difference between that and the
cold demands, the hard mocking he’d given her all night made her turn
back.
“Never pain, Julia. I
found that limit.” She relaxed, the drug
they’d given her taking effect. It didn’t make her dopey, but she was
exhausted. Terrance had followed only hours after Lynn. Julia hoped that was
the end of the women. All had known of her distaste, but only Jocelyn had
pushed it, knowing she could be pushed. Lynn had been more like Sophia.
When she woke on the large
bed, she did ache, but all the burning was gone. She saw welts all over her
body, but smelled a tincture that had been applied to speed her healing. It was
working. She rose slowly though, wincing at times, to find herself breakfast.
For the first time, Julia
wondered just how many vampires there were in Blue Moon House. Was she near the
end yet? She hadn’t changed her mind. Her family lived far away and she only
saw them on holidays. She had a few friends she would miss keenly, but they
would be fine without her. No one depended on her, except possibly her
co-workers, and she’d been meaning to walk out on them for months now.
“Whoa. Are you okay?” one
of the other submissives, a man of middle years, asked.
Julia nodded, sitting very
gingerly in the dining room. Pain spread across her bottom and then receded a
little after she had sat a moment. Sucking through her teeth, she pushed it
away. Then she lifted her juice.
“Who?” he asked. It wasn’t
a common question. Masters were usually kept private.
“Terrance,” Julia’s voice
was a croak.
The man’s mouth hung open.
“But Terrance never... I mean, I hope you feel better soon.”
Julia grabbed at his
elbow. “You belong to Terrance?” she asked.
“I did,” the man answered.
“He was too soft, too gentle for what I wanted. He sent me to Will.” The man’s
grin gleamed. “I’m very happy now.”
Julia stiffened and
regretted it when her bruises panged. Will, she was sure, would have her next.
“I see. Have you had other Masters?”
“Not in the House. I’m
Justin.” He offered his hand and Julia took it. “You’re older than most,” he
observed.
She chuckled. “So are
you.” Most of the submissives were in their mid-twenties. Both Julia and Justin
were well over thirty. Julia was only a year and a bit from forty. It had posed
problems when she started in the BDSM community - no one had wanted her. Blue
Moon House, Harry specifically, had not turned her away after one
session.
“Touché. Why Terrance?” he
asked.
Julia shook her head, sure
she couldn’t tell him, unsure if she was even allowed.
“Who is your Master
normally?” Justin asked.
Julia’s eyes went soft.
“Harry.”
Justin smiled. “I’ve often
wished he took men. Not that I’m not happy with Will. I thought about it most
when I was with Terrance,” he admitted.
Julia simply nodded. She
ate slowly, relishing the nourishment, the fluids. Her body felt every year of
thirty-eight today. The spare flesh had been kind to her in the beginning,
cushioning blows so they stung but didn’t bruise. She’d lost weight, though not
a lot, since coming here and her joints ached in a way they hadn’t a year or
two ago.
She chuckled to herself as
Justin rose. He quirked an eyebrow and she shook her head. “Nothing.” She’d
just been thinking how little she’d miss those aches when she was a
vampire.
Thank you for stopping by and happy reading. ;)
