Roxanne, thank you so much for having
me on the blog today. I'm excited to showcase my new release, Dark Submissions,
and discuss a little about my inspiration for the anthology.
I've always found mythology
fascinating. It started with my first viewing of "Clash of the
Titans" when I was ten years old, and continued through my first reading
of Homer's "The Odyssey" . In high school I discovered books by
Joseph Campbell and my fate was sealed. I became a myth junkie. Mythology from
around the world provides an interesting insight into how different cultures
and times deal with life and death.
Regardless of whether the stories
take place in life or death; love, honor and revenge happen to be key subjects
in many myths. The issues that plague us in life tend to carryover to the
afterlife in these worlds and I've always loved that, so when I decided to
write my first set of dark fantasy stories, I couldn't resist drawing from
mythologies of Hell and the Underworld. The opportunity to create heroes and
heroines that were demons, spirits or demigods was just too delicious to pass
up.
Add my love of mythology to my near
obsession with anime and the whole thing was a no brainer.
My stories have a death demon falling
in love with hope; a vengeance demon trying to atone her guilt and find love;
and a Viking trying cope with his new life in Hell and avoid losing his heart.
Each story has some dark elements, but at their core, each is a romance and has
an happy ending.
Residing in a place a darkness
doesn't mean that one can't find love. It also doesn't mean that beauty can't
be found in the wicked and strange. I encourage readers to explore fantasy and
get lost in the dark worlds filled with sexy demons and spirits.
Are there any myths or mythical
worlds that have always drawn your fascination? If so, please share.

Death’s Hope
The dating scene in Hell is rough for a woman who embodies the essence of pure hope, but Dora is trusting that death demon, Alphonse, won’t mind introducing her to a little sin. Her plan to convince Alphonse she’s no innocent demon-in-training, takes a wicked turn, when Alphonse decides to show her exactly how decadent his needs are.
Guilt’s Pleasure
Vengeance demon, Morgan, is looking for a little relief from a guilty conscious, and fire demon, Dax, has just the remedy for her within the walls of his dungeon. A simple bargain for relief turns sensual, when Dax realizes Morgan needs more from him than a steady hand and a long whip.
War’s Peace
Being a war demon isn’t all fun and chaos. The existing peace demon has decided to retire and Hell’s rules dictate that there can be no war without peace. Not willing to give up any of her war games, wrath demon Alyssa is determined to make recently slain warrior, Elrich, her new partner in crime by any means necessary.
