Please welcome Virginia Cavanaugh!
Hello Everyone!
Thanks so much to Laurie for allowing me to guest blog today.
Where does your love of the paranormal come from? I was first intrigued by the movie Monster Squad when I was younger. “Wolf man’s got nards,” still makes me laugh even today. When I got a little older I fell in love with “Interview with a Vampire”. After all, who doesn’t like staring at Brad Pitt with long hair? But I have to say that watching Bram Stoker’s Dracula was the first time I started to see the potential of having a vampire hero. Even though Dracula was supposed to be the villain, I found his loss of love and his attempt at regaining it, very intriguing. But even after this, it was still some time before I dove into reading paranormal romance.
In fact my first adventure into reading anything along the lines was an urban fantasy series written by Karen Marie Moning. After reading the fever series, I received recommendations from some of her other fans. My first vampire series to read was J R Ward’s BDB series. After that I was hooked. I went to buying several in the genre, and after I came across Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Were-Hunters, I had a whole new branch of paranormal romance to seek out. This led me to Nalini Singh’s psy/changeling series.
Since I jumped off into the depths of paranormal romance I have read many books by many authors. Somewhere along the road my own characters began to talk to me. I found that I couldn’t choose at first between a shifter series or a vamp series. So I used both and threw in some hot sorceresses to make things interesting. Thus the Order of Night series was born.
Secrets of Night, the first book in this series was released in October 2010 from Liquid Silver Books.
Now I am proud to say that Deceptions of Night, book two in the series has been signed with Liquid Silver Books as well. Here is the blurb.
Tempers run hot through the members of the Order of Night as Lex tries to settle in as the new Triad vampire. But when a jaguar attacks him in his bed, his life gets turned upside down, and he discovers a new meaning to keeping your friends close and your enemies closer.
Kill the triad vampire or your brother dies. Shayla grudgingly accepts the assignment. But she soon realizes that success is easier said than done as she lies prone, trapped against the floor and secured by the body of one pissed off sexy leech.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Lex wants answers and Shayla wants her brother returned alive. They form a shaky truce as they seek out the man who has both. Fierce attraction pushes them closer as mistrust tears them apart. Deception lays in wait around every corner as they struggle to find the master mind behind the traitors to the Order of Night. As the tension rises, desire begins to burn with an intensity that threatens to consume, leaving them to question whether they can find what they seek with their lives and hearts intact.

*waves* I believe international is ok, and I believe that Secrets of Night is also for sale at the Amazon site ending in .co.uk, for those of you that are interested. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very interesting book. I like books that have several different paranormal characters. I think putting weres & vamps in one book is an awesome idea.

ReplyDeleteFor years I've been trying to remember what movie had that "Wolfman's got nards" line in it! I remember nothing else about that movie since I only saw it once and it was a long time ago. Thanks so much for clearing my mind of that. Thank you for the giveaway!

Hi, I think a combination of different types of paranormal characters in a book makes it even better for a 5 star rating. I think it gives the reader a choice to conect with what their favorite type of creature whether it be a vampire or a shapeshifter.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win a copy of your book,

My love for paranormal stemmed from TV series: can't remember if it was Buffy or Lois&Clark, but they sure started me on a path of becoming fan of anything paranormal or supernatural :-) Since then I've loved Charmed, Roswell amongst many other paranormal series.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great giveaway, I would love to read Secrets of Night (congratulations it has such a beautiful cover)!
