Vampires Do It In The Dark

OK, so that is pretty lame. But there's something awfully sexy about vampires. And they lend themselves very well to erotic romance. Which brings me to my latest endeavor, a novella-length erotic vampire tale intended for an upcoming anthology by several of the ladies of The Erotic Romance Workshop. This is a great group of writers dedicated to erotic romance (like that wasn't evident!)and they have already penned the successful anthologies, Goin' Down, parts one and two, and have now devised with the wickedly sinful idea of an erotic vampire anthology - all vampires, all the time. What could be better?

It's a delicious idea. But so many great vampire tales - where to begin? Something dark, dangerous, heart-poundingly good with breathtaking moments of lust steaming up the pages? Or a wickedly funny take on the undead, with orgasms aplenty? But no, despite the appeal, I have settled on my tale - that of a woman with her own unique qualities Eliza Borden - don't call me Lizzie - is am empath who works the night shift in the emergency room helping the doctors diagnose those touch-and-go cases, who runs afoul of an inner-city vampire turf war, ending up under the protection, and in the bed, of powerful Master Vampire, Lucian Tremayne. The snarky Ms. Borden wants no part of the immortal master of seduction, but somehow keeps finding herself in his arms.

And for his part Lucian has never wanted a human companion who gives the term life-partner a whole new meaning. But the delectable Ms. Borden, who nearly lost her life saving one of his own, seems to sneak into his thoughts at the oddest times. And when she's beneath him in the throes of passion, his long, long lifetime of stoic solitude is suddnely a thing of the past.

So now I'm off on a madcap whirl - into the alternate reality of a very real New York City, and into the minds and hearts of two people who will need to rely on each other for happiness, sexual satisfaction that can hurt so good - and quite possibly their lives!

I'll be sure to keep you posted!
