On another note, if you appreciate great erotica and are not listening to Rose Caraway's The Kiss Me Quick's Erotic Podcast, I strongly suggest you subscribe. Rose features an eclectic mix of erotica that spans all tastes and desires, as well as being a kick-ass narrator.

Another winner from Brenda Sparks!
Woohoo! Deadly Alpha, the second book in Brenda Sparks' Alpha Council Chronicles series is now available! Do yourself a favour, run out and get this book immediately, it is well worth the read.
Hot sex. No regrets. Vampire Marcus Botticelli
has spent his life playing the role of the fun-loving playboy. Unfortunately
that lifestyle came to an abrupt end for Marcus when his life was turned upside
down by his sire. Now in a new city, a new home, he hopes to make a fresh
start.
Set on some big changes in her own life, Christina Prescott’s plans are sidetracked when she meets the rich and powerful Marcus. Though the nurse mends the Alpha’s broken heart, he isn’t the only one who needs healing when a depraved darkness seeps into their lives.
As passion burns between the two, evil works to smother the flame of love and separate the heartmates for its own gain. With his heartmate missing, Marcus fears his claim to everlasting love will be destroyed and he will be damned to a life of insanity without Christina.

writing is challenging at times, but writing suspenseful paranormal romances is
a passion that won’t be denied. Her idea of a perfect day is one spent in front
of a computer with a hot cup of coffee, her fingers flying over the keys to
send her characters off on their latest adventure. Brenda loves to

Excerpt:
Marcus rose from his machine and headed for Christina with the swagger of a male tiger prowling after its mate. His eyes darkening in hunger, he quickened his stride, eating up the space between them.
“Did I do something wrong?” asked
Christina.
Her reply came in the way of a rush of
cool air when Marcus used his preternatural speed to cross the gym and scoop
her up in his arms before pressing his lips to hers in a crushing kiss.
“That stretching was the sexiest thing
I’ve ever seen,” he managed to bite out before he kissed her again.
Marcus pinned her against the wall next to
the sauna door, his body pressed into hers. Christina wrapped her arms around
his neck and returned his kiss with equal urgency. His hunger fueled her
desire. He built the lust between them, letting their passion mix in their
mindlink until, like a tornado, their desire circulated between them, building
until it became an unstoppable whirlwind.
Nicholai opened the door to the sauna and
made a hasty exit.
“Get
a room, you two.” Nicholai glanced at them quickly, a smile on his handsome
face.
Marcus grabbed the open sauna door,
catching it before it closed as he broke their kiss. “Sounds like a plan. I
think this room will do.”

A Castle of Spirits Submitted Story on Film?
Twelve years ago, Joshua D. Maley submitted a story to Castle of Spirits called The Wraith of Mystery Mile. He has launched a Kickstarter campaign and it is well on its way to being made into a movie! I encourage anyone with a few spare dollars to head over to his Kickstarter page and help fund a story that would look great up on a big screen.
The synopsis:
Something is wrong in the small borough of Industry, Pennsylvania. For almost seventy years, there have been stories, whispers of strange goings-on in the hills above the Ohio River. In the suffocating darkness of these wooded roads, it's said that animals turn rabid. That the shadows themselves will reach out and take you. That those the forest claims, the forest keeps. All Dawn knows is that her sister went into that forest, and never came out. And too soon after, Dawn's mother perished under psychiatric care, claiming she could still hear her missing daughter calling to her from the forest. Begging for help. But so can Dawn. Since that first fateful night, Dawn's sister has come to visit every time she closes her eyes. And recently, even when they're open. Desperate to find answers before she shares her mother's fate, Dawn's journey is spiraling towards its end. Before it's over, she and those she loves will uncover the truth behind Mystery Mile...or die trying.
If you want to support Joshua, please go to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1173602889/the-way-of-seeming and help make this movie a reality.
You can also follow the film's progress at their Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/thewayofseeming.
And of course Joshua's original story can be read at http://www.castleofspirits.com/stories02/wraithof.html.
