Guest Blog and Giveaway with The Witches of Paranormal Pleasures

Today I have the pleasure of chatting about Halloween with a few of the witches from my erotic short story collection Paranormal Pleasures: Ten Tales of Supernatural Seduction.

I’ll start with Marissa from “A Last Goodbye”. Marissa is new to the supernatural world, being a late bloomer with her magic but her trainer, Deirdre, who happens to be a vampire, is showing her the ropes and helping her acclimate quite well.

RR: So Marissa how are you celebrating Halloween this year?

Marissa: Deirdre’s brother Dante is throwing a Masquerade Ball at his mansion, it’s going to be blast.

RR: Are you going in costume?

Marissa: Yes I’m wearing a Marie Antoinette era gown and gorgeous mask- authentic too, no reproductions. It was Deirdre’s, you know vampires, they are such hoarders, which can come in handy when you’re searching for rare antiques and vintage clothing.

RR: I would love to peak into her closet, or should I say closets? Considering she’s been around for a long time I bet she has tons of clothes.

Marissa: Oh she does, I haven’t even begun to see everything. I’ve only been to two of her houses here in the states, she and Dante share several in Europe.

RR: Vampires and their luxuries…

Marissa: You know it.

As Marissa giggles thinking about her new life full of vampires I turn to Ariadne from “Witch in the Middle”. Ariadne has not one but two gorgeous men in her life. Such a greedy witch J

RR: Hi Ariadne, how are you celebrating Halloween this year? Anything special planned?

Ariadne: I’ve been invited to a couple parties. I’m not sure if I’m going though.

RR: Why not?

Ariadne: The whole “who to take issue”, choosing which guy will go where with me is such a headache.

RR: Why not take them both?

Ariadne: And risk the dirty looks, the questioning looks…or even worse the guys getting into it in the middle of a party and embarrassing me? No thank you.

RR: So they’re still having issues with each other?

Ariadne: Men are so territorial, jealousy is always an issue. They are always trying to one up each other or be the better man. Sometimes I wonder if I should just choose and be done with it.

RR: I’m sorry to hear that, I was really hoping the three of you had worked things out.

Ariadne: Perhaps they’ll get over the pettiness so I can have a Happy Halloween, it is my favorite holiday of the year and above all both guys love to make me happy.

RR: Well there you go, just tell them you want to go out and have fun without their egos getting in the way.

Ariadne: Thanks, Rox I will do that. Now I just have to figure out what to wear.

RR: Maybe you should go chat with Marissa and Deirdre I hear Deirdre has closets full of amazing clothes.

Ariadne: Thanks, I’ll do that.

Ariadne wanders off to find Marissa and I turn to Elita from “The Questioning Concubine”.

RR: Hello Elita, glad you could join us today. How are things going with the investigation?

Elita: Thanks to Connor I’m finally making some headway with the case. I’m closer than ever to finding out who killed my parents.

RR: That’s great news. Are you taking any time off to enjoy the Halloween season?

Elita: I have to. Taking my parent’s place in the circle means I have to organize and head up all of the Samhain activities- the bonfire, the ritual, and of course the party.

RR: Will Connor be joining you?

Elita: A wicked little grin creeps across her pretty features…He will.

RR: Does anyone know what he is, other than you?

Elita: No, he passes quite well as a witch. Glamour can hide all the little things that some might notice and think strange.

RR: So amid all those witches you don’t think anyone will notice that he’s different?

Elita: They haven’t yet and I’ve been dragging him with me everywhere. He has a way of making people talk, making them give up secrets, information they might not have even known they had. It’s a tremendous help with the investigation.

RR: That’s good news. I’m glad that summoning him turned out to be a good thing. You hear so much about those things going wrong, it’s good to know they can go right sometimes.

Elita: Oh that summoning was definitely right, and amazing and so damn hot…

she blushes as she realizes she’s getting a little carried away

RR: I clear my throat thanks for joining me for this little interview, I hope all of your Halloween/Samhain festivities turn out to be fabulous.

Elita: Thanks Rox I’m sure they will as long as Connor is by my side.

Elita wanders off and I turn to the witch that’s left, Vicki from “Witching You A Merry Christmas”.

RR: So Vicki, You and Daniel ended up having a very wonderful Christmas last year, will you be celebrating Halloween together as well?

Vicki: She gives me a shy smile Yes, we’ll be together for the holidays, all of them.

RR: Wonderful. So any plans? I know you come from a blended family- do you celebrate the harvest, Samhain, or Halloween?

Vicki: All of them. We’ve already attended quite a few harvest festivals, went on hayrides and drank spiced apple cider. This weekend we have a few Halloween parties to drop in on then a special Samhain ritual and bonfire on Monday night.

RR: Sounds like a busy weekend. Will you be dressing up?

Vicki: Oh yes. Daniel and I are wearing steampunk inspired costumes with some very nice gadgets and gizmos he made that look right out of the 1800s, of course most of the parts are from the 1800s with a little bit of modern tech thrown in.

RR: Parts from the 1800’s? Another example of vampire hoarding?

Vicki: She laughs Oh you have no idea! Daniel is such a pack rat. The man has boxes and trunks and all kinds of stuff tucked away in his house…houses I should say.

RR: I know he loves Christmas and goes all out with the decorations, is he the same way for Halloween?

Vicki: Let’s just say there is the biggest skeleton I have ever seen currently residing in his front yard along with a vast collection of other iconic Halloween creatures and features.

RR: So that’s a yes? I laugh.

Vicki: Most definitely.

RR: Well thank you for joining me today, thanks to all the witches that took the time to stop by during this busy haunting season.

It’s interesting to know that the supernaturals pretty much celebrate just like we do: costumes, bonfires, parties, hayrides, along with silly and scary decorations.

Extended Description

A Last Goodbye

New witch Marissa is learning the ropes of being one of The Others. One of her mentors is vampire Deirdre, a tall beauty who really irritates Marissa. Marissa is extremely pissed when she shows up to Dante's Ball and finds Deirdre there with Marissa's recent ex-boyfriend, Jeff. The one she was encouraged to break up with because of his humanity. Deirdre explains her reasons for bringing Jeff and offers to help Marissa say goodbye to him in a way none of them will ever forget

Overkill

Vanessa is tired of her boyfriend Simon’s promiscuous vampire ways and stakes him, repeatedly- not close enough to the heart to kill him but close enough to make it hurt. But now she’s had a change of heart and considers embracing the sexual world of the vampire instead of being jealous of it.

Witch in the Middle

Ariadne is a witch torn between two men, a vampire and a human. Her heart doesn’t want to choose but the men force her to make a decision that could break her heart, unless with the help of the Goddess all three of them can come to a mutually acceptable…and enjoyable agreement.

When It Storms

Devon’s witchy girlfriend becomes insatiable every time a storm rolls around and he’s more than happy to give her exactly what she needs.

Monster Inside
Shannon’s never seen her vampire boyfriend, Logan, vamp out before. Then one night he has to kill to save her life. Can she ever look at him the same way again?

The Questioning Concubine

Elita, a pure blood witch, has come home to find who or what killed her parents and to take her rightful place as the head of the coven. After five years of investigating and exhausting all conventional methods at her disposal, she decides to do the one thing a good witch should never do—summon a demon. The demon is not what she expected. Elita is soon swept up in his power… and her own.

Renata

The residents of the sleepy little town of Flushing, Michigan had no idea a vampire lived among them, seducing and drinking from all the men in town. Renata walked among them, blending in, taking only what she needed. One night, while she was on the prowl for fresh blood at a carnival, a handsome carnie caught her eye. She had no way of knowing he was a vampire hunter and was there for her.

Sea of Blood

Liana made Nerissa a vampire centuries ago in the islands of Greece but she’s never tired of her companion or the way she hunts her prey.


A Halloween to Remember

What says Halloween better than a wild party at an old Victorian mansion complete with its own cemetery? Perhaps meeting the man of your dreams thanks to the magic of Halloween.

Adena can’t believe her eyes when she spots Dimitri in the library- he looks like something straight off the cover of a historical romance novel-the type of guy she’s always dreamed of. Too bad he disappears before she has the chance to introduce herself. When she finally spots him again later that night she decides she’s not letting him get away again. Adena thinks she’s finally found the one. Until she wakes up alone the next morning- in the cemetery.

Halloween magic brought them together but will it be strong enough to keep them together?

An Entangled Halloween Guest Blog with Patrica Eimer

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

No, not Christmas. It’s Halloween. Otherwise known as the holiday of paranormal romance writer’s. Because hello? Can you think of a better holiday for a group of people who routinely live with witches, demons and vampires? I can’t. I love Halloween.

Halloween is right up there as my favorite holiday. I’ll admit my enthusiasm has waned a bit since my hubby moved us North to a land where Halloween is routinely about 30 degrees outside and we all have to wear winter coats. Even I have to debate that trek for candy down cold, windy streets versus just driving my butt to the grocery store. But that doesn’t matter. Every year we get the kids in their costumes and out we go.

My youngest is two so there isn’t much going on there. He hasn’t really gotten into the holiday besides the idea of dressing up as Tigger and letting people give him candy just because he looks cute. Oh yeah, we caught onto that real quick last Halloween. The kid didn’t even walk. He had his father carry him around while he held out a pillowcase and gave people the full force of those baby blues before asking “candy? Pwease?” He beat his sister about two pieces to one. Note to future self: this kid could potentially be trouble.

Last year, because of work and things we didn’t get to do too much planning for Halloween. Instead, daughter went as Hermione because that is one warm little costume she can get in and out of with no assistance and I went as McGonagall. Because I love me some McGonagall. Severus Snape may have been my teaching model when I was a college instructor but only because I couldn’t do that awesome house cat shape shift thing.

This year though, we have a bit more time and oldest has hit that creative age. She’s 8 going on 9 and she doesn’t want to be like everyone else. Which means it’s time to get out the cardboard, face paint and other art supplies. We could go with a mummy but she’s got to get herself into it for the school party so that’s out. She thought about going as a zombie cheerleader – Go Ghouls!—but she’s afraid she’ll get confused with all the other girls going as regular cheerleaders. She thought about the Bride of Vampire but one of her boyfriends offered to go as Edward to her Bella and that ended that dead in its tracks. Pun completely intended.

So now? Now we have tentatively decided that she’s going as a head on a platter. Served to you by your favorite undead waitress Sadie. Who would be me. Her baby brother is even in on the act. He’s going as a possessed pumpkin. Because here at Sadie’s even the dessert’s got an attitude problem. Hubby’s not so fond of being a zombie dish washer but he’s going with it.

What about you? What’s your plan for Halloween? Are you into it or is it just another day to pass out candy and watch scary movies?

Speak of the Devil - Book One, by Patricia Eimer

Being the youngest daughter of the Devil isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The days of teenage rebellion and vows of chastity made just to tick off her father are over, and now all Faith Bettincourt wants is a nice, quiet life. Unfortunately, thanks to the unexpected arrival of her demonically-downsized sister, a ditzy succubus roommate, and dear old Dad himself, Faith’s plans for a relaxing vacation spent watching reruns go up in flames.

Now it’s all Faith can do to keep the family reunion from Hell (literally) under wraps, and the angelically-inclined hottie across the hall from realizing there’s something weird about his neighbor. And, thankfully, it’s working. Until an angelic stalker shows up in a bid to steal her powers and take over the world.

Forget watching reruns. With the way things are going, Faith will need the luck of the Devil just to survive until Monday.

A Review of Halloween Fantasies by Katie Salidas

"Here’s to Halloween hotties."

Vampire Dante is definitely a Halloween hottie. How come none of the parties I ever go to have a hot mysterious vampire ready and willing to seduce and be seduced?

After her Halloween costume is ruined by her hairball hacking cat Sasha has to scramble through her roommate's closet to come up with a new costume in a flash.

Leather pants, a corset, a silver cross and pair of high heeled boots quickly turn into a vampire huntress costume. Ironic that the first man Sasha encounters is a real vampire, Dante.

Vampires have been "out" for awhile but this is the first real one Sasha has ever encountered though she's harbored secret fantasies about vampires for awhile. Halloween is the perfect time to live out one of those fantasies with the hottest vampire ever.

But the night just keeps getting better when fantasy after fantasy come true for Sasha. She gets far more than she ever imagined when one vampire becomes two and her she gets more satisfaction than she ever could have imagined.

Sexy and sultry this is a quick erotic read vampire lovers will adore. It will certainly get you in the mood for a little naughty Halloween fun.



Blurb:

Touted as the sexiest party of the year, the annual Halloween Fantasy Ball is the one place a girl can let loose and succumb to her wildest fantasies. Disguised as a sexy vampire huntress, Sasha captures the attention of Dante, a real life creature of the night.

For Sasha, meeting bona fide vampire is enough to fulfill one of her life long fantasies. She’s ready to go home a happy woman. But Dante has other plans. It is after all, a night of fantasies, and he has a few of his own to share.
