An Erotic Vampire Junkie by Maya DeLeina

An Erotic Vampire Romance Junkie

Celebrity memoirs, political autobiographies— you can have it. I know they are the staple best sellers and are the books “cultured” society reads. But I am a romance novel junkie, an erotic romance novel junkie, to be exact. Throw in erotic vampire romance novel junkie and “cultured” just flew out the door.

Or has it?

Cultured

1. Showing or having good taste, manners, upbringing, and education

2. Educated, polished, and refined; cultivated

By definition, I consider myself cultured. I am an educated, polished, well-mannered woman in her mid-thirties that had a loving and fulfilling upbringing.

Okay, late-thirties- you caught me.

But I seriously don’t have a curious bone in my body to read about the reality of addiction and rehab sessions to a life that most would consider a fairytale. You make millions- deal with it. And don’t even get me started on political autobiographies. Okay, I like some of the underdog tales, but it is still too much embedded reality for my taste.

I have but little me time in this world. In that time, I want an escape, a departure from any resemblance of a reality. I want to live vicariously through an admirable heroine, a woman that is experiencing a love from a man that can be felt down in my toes. I want a hero that I can fall in love with, not only for his body and looks, but for his heart. And yes, I want a happily ever after, knowing that no matter the mounting troubles faced, the silver lining will always be there. Closing a book and smiling in reflection of the story is as satisfying as savoring a dark chocolate truffle.

Yeah, it’s that good.

So where does vampires and erotica come in all of this?

Well, I want all the above, but without the sappy, lovey-dovey parts. For me, vampires are creatures of raw and primal urges. Even the vampires depicted as scary, fearsome creatures exude a certain amount of dark sensuality that is undeniable and powerful. The balance between a strong heroine and a heroine that can succumb to the touch of a powerful man in spicy sexual escapades is tantalizing and excites every sensory fiber in my body.

And therein lay the path to erotica.

For the ultimate escape, there is nothing like erotica. Porn without the pictures, Erotica is emotional, putting the reader in the driver seat to visualize every delectable scene with their mind and heart. Erotica is also individualistic, allowing readers to experience the same scene differently.

“His hands explored her with a feather-like touch, making sure that every dip, curve and rise was explored with calculated precision. His hot breath traced down her neck as his tongue delicately savored the spicy sweetness of her skin.”

“Oh yes,” she moaned.

Did you picture yourself as her? Did you imagine his hands touching you, making your skin tickle with excitement? Or maybe you lingered in his hot wet kisses and tongue making your breath just a little hotter, a little quicker.

Whew.

So now that you know what I love to read and how I love an escape, you can probably guess what my own stories are like. I develop tales that takes readers on a journey of emotions and imagery, delving deep into the fantasies of readers in settings that are mystical, magical, and mysterious.

If that sounds tantalizing, make sure to check out my erotic vampire series, Ambrose Heights Vampires.

Book 1, Flesh Fantasy, takes you on a journey through moonlight trysts in the forest, passionate lovemaking underneath the glow of Moroccan lanterns and sexual decadence upon the human spider web.

Book 2, Veil of Seduction, depicts the sexual exploration between a man and woman. Through castles, a garden labyrinth, underground passages and crystal rivers in a subterranean world, the mystic and magical settings heighten the erotic journey.

Cultured or not, this is what I love to read….and write.

But Steffan also has a devouring obsession that brings him to his knees. Her name is Anya. Steffan sets out to claim Anya, a mortal ripe for the taking, as his mate. But the blackness in the eyes of his newborn should’ve served as a warning. Anya is off-limits according to the vampire creed.

Lindsay Townsend

Lindsay lives in Yorkshire, England, where she was born, and started writing stories at an early age. Always a voracious reader, she took a degree in medieval history and worked in a library for a while, then began to write full-time after marriage.

Her first unpublished historical found her an agent and the second got a publisher in London interested. They wanted her to write with a modern setting, which she did – several romantic thrillers set in Greece, Italy or on Dartmoor in the English West Country - and enjoyed it, but historicals are really her first love. Lindsay is currently writing medieval romance for Kensington, who published ‘A Knight’s Vow’in 2008 and are following it with ‘A Knight’s Captive’ in spring, 2009.

She is also fascinated by the ancient world, especially Rome, Egypt and the Bronze Age. ‘Flavia’s Secret’, set in Roman Britain, came out from Bookstrand in 2008, and two more historicals, ‘Blue Gold’, set in ancient Egypt, and ‘Bronze Lightning’, set in Bronze Age Greece and the Britain of Stonehenge, have also just been released early in 2009.

Sarah J. McNeal

I became interested in writing at a young age. My parents didn’t allow us to have a television so my sisters and I became avid readers. We read everything from Shakespeare to my mother’s True Detective Stories that, by the way, scared the hell out of me. I submitted my first story and received my first rejection when I was thirteen years old.

I am particularly drawn to writing fantasy and time travel and have created a magical place called Valmora where winged people with various magical abilities are in constant struggle against the evil forces of the Dark Isle. Two of the books in this series are presently available at New Concepts Publishing: THE DARK ISLE and LAKE OF SORROWS. I am writing the third now: THE LIGHT OF VALMORA. I have written a time travel novel in which a woman goes back to the 1920’s to save a man from dying in THE VIOLIN that has been submitted to New Concepts Publishing. I intend to write a series of musical instrument stories including THE PIANO and one that I intend to start in the near future titled, HARMONICA JOE’S RELUCTANT BRIDE.

Until recent years, I wrote short stories, two of which were the early inspiration for the Valmora series and three other stories that were sci-fi and paranormal.

I have also written nonfiction including an article in The Charlotte Observer and a monthly newsletter from the emergency department of CMC Mercy Hospital that, unfortunately, I no longer have time to write.

Writing brings me a joy and fulfillment that nothing else can. I love creating magical worlds and people who want to make a difference. I hope that anyone who reads them will love them, too.

Patricia Richardson

My desire to write began at a young age; my mind was always filled with great stories. However, my dreams, and aspirations were put on the back burner and even at times forgotten after I became married with children. Later the divorce came, which meant I had to become both mother and father to my children. I worked overtime and weekends just to support my family. The struggle to survive and give my children a healthy, loving home lasted until they were grown. Late author, Gracie Cornish, Ph.D. inspired me to follow my destiny. I met her at a place of employment, "just sit down and start writing," she told me and I did just that. I wrote every chance I got; at work, on the subway, and in my spare time at home. This all started in the latter part of 1998. That very same year God impressed upon my heart to relocate from New York to Maryland. I was obedient and moved.

The move meant that once again I had to put my writing on hold to become familiar with my new environment and learn to cope with the conditions of a highly stressful job. Most evenings when I arrived home the only thing I wanted to do was turn the ringer off the telephone and sleep. I seldom picked up my manuscript, which was kept under my bed just waiting for me not to be too tired and stressed to write. The time for writing again did not come until late in 2001 when I finally came to the realization I would always be stressed and tired from working and if I did not use the gift God gave me I would never achieve the independent financial freedom I wanted. After this epiphany I set a goal for myself; to have the manuscript completed and sent to my editor in March of 2002. Finally, in March of 2003 the book cover for my first novel, "A Place for Ida," was approved and I was published! This of course came with a price. I lost work, I cried, and I virtually had no social life. I was on a personal lockdown. I was on a mission. Most of my spare time was spent researching publishers, cover letters, and anything else I felt was pertinent to my success. Since then I established Leap of Faith Publishing and republished "A Place for Ida" and soon after published the sequel, "A Time for Jonathan."
