About the book:“In April 2007, a group of men pulled seventeen-year-old Du’a Khalil Aswad into a mob. They proceeded to stone and beat her to death, a supposed “honor” killing for allegedly falling in love with a man of a different faith. Several camera phones recorded the entire incident from the front row, and videos later surfaced online. One month later, popular filmmaker Joss Whedon expressed his despair and outrage at the misogyny in all cultures on a fan-run blog. “Because it’s no longer enough to be a decent person,” he wrote. “It’s no longer enough to shake our heads and make concerned grimaces at the news. True enlightened activism is the only thing that can save humanity from itself. I’ve always had a bent towards apocalyptic fiction, and I’m beginning to understand why. I look and I see the earth in flames. Her face was nothing but red.” The arts anthology Nothing But Red was conceived as a way to raise both awareness of the issues he spoke of, as well as money for the charity Equality Now.” Buy the book here: http://stores.lulu.com/nothingbutredIf you purchase a copy of this book and send us the reciept, you will get TWENTY additional entries!

In October, Fall begins and the leaves turn to vibrant colors. The air is crisp and the excitment of Halloween beckons us all like excited children. What better time that to Feature two of Amira press newest authors and their books. Take a look behind the scenes with Jenny Gilliam and Dawné Dominique.

That would be Potatoes

Weirdest thing:
I refuse to pick up pennies that are tails up for fear of bad luck.

Craziest thing:
I'm Wiccan and I danced naked outside for a ritual (skyclad)

Here's a look into Jenny's Exciting Novel from Amira Press...

LETTING LUCE BLURB:

When Lucy Hollister tried to drop-kick her personal computer out her second-story window, she had no idea it would eventually lead to the seduction of her very hot, very yummy best friend, Rory Carlisle.

After all, she’s the queen of passivity, and he’s the reining king of the non-committed relationship. When a sexy online flirtation leads the couple into some steamy situations, Rory realizes that his cute best friend is letting loose—in the best possible way.
Excerpt:
“Who did you do it for?” Rory asked.
Lucy’s heart thudded in her chest. She couldn’t quite meet his eyes. His velvety voice, rough yet smooth, caressed nerve endings strung tight like piano wire.
“Lucy,” he said softly. “Who did you wear that dress for?”
Oh, he was good. He knew damn well she’d dressed up for him. In a sudden flash of insight, she realized she wasn’t fooling anyone, especially Rory.
“I know you,” he said, his voice whispering over her. “ScorpioCutie.”
Her breath caught, and her eyes moved to his face. He watched her with the single-minded intensity he saved for naughty co-eds and naughtier computers.
“What did you just call me?”
“You heard me,” he answered huskily.
Silent, her gaze skittered away from his, flying away like a nervous bird before landing on a spot a few feet beyond his shoulder. She considered denying it all. How much could he know, after all? He might be guessing. Then she thought of his heated gaze, those knowing eyes, that flash of insight.
Her skin heated with embarrassment. “How long have you known?”
God! Why couldn’t she just be ScorpioCutie? Why couldn’t she charge over there and throw him down on the grass? What stopped her?
Three words: Lucille Louise Hollister.
“A couple of weeks.”
“How did you find out?”
His heated stare burned her flesh. “You forgot to delete the chat logs.”
Duh! “Why didn’t you say anything sooner?”
“Why didn’t you?”
Good question. She didn’t know if he wanted to hear the truth. So she lied. “It was part of the game.”
He lifted a brow. “So this is just a game?”
Lucy nodded, but she couldn’t look him in the eye. He turned to her with predatory grace; stalking her, closing her in, forcing her to lean against one of the metal beams. The cold seeped in from the steel, saturating her skin as a prickle of goosebumps that spread across her body.
He looked like a large feral animal, and she was his prey.
With nowhere to go.
Rory stopped an inch from her. He was so big, towering over her. His hot breath fanned across her cheek. He lifted a finger and ran it down her neck. She couldn’t control the delicious tremor that ran through her.


UPCOMING NOVEL: UNDER MY SKIN from Amira Press

Blurb:
When coffee shop owner Rachel Crowe overhears her neighbor being murdered, she doesn't think her life can get any more complicated. But when the detective on the case turns out to be the very man she kicked out of her store the night before, she realizes she's wrong. From the moment Detective Alex Williams laid eyes on the raven-haired owner of his favorite coffee shop, he's been drawn to her. When she becomes the key witness in his homicide investigation, he takes it upon himself to protect her at all costs. As the killer closes in on Rachel, the couple are thrown into very intimate and dangerous situations. Can Alex convince her to trust him before the killer catchesup with them?

Excerpt:

The pounding on the door startled a scream out of Rachel, who’d just begun to calm down. Realizing it was likely Alex, she grabbed her full wine glass and walked to the door. With one hand on the Slugger, she checked the peephole.Rachel slid the locks open.
“You didn’t have to come.”Alex barreled past her into the apartment. She shut the door and locked it, laying the Slugger back against the wall.
“You were coming apart. I had to do something.”
“I was just scared and acted impulsively. I don’t even know why I called you.”
“Because you were scared.”“Which we’ve established.”
She held up her wine and took a deep breath. “I’m fine now.”
“Bullshit.”
“Alex…don’t make this out to be something it’s not. Really, it’s nothing more than the hysterical theatrics of a female. I’m a Pisces. We tend to dramatize everything.”
He blinked.“What?”
“I’m a Pisces.”
“Are you into all that astrology crap?”
“It’s not crap for your information, and yes, I am. My best friend’s an astrologer.”
Alex rolled his eyes. “Let me guess: ‘text 4820 to 825 to receive your latest love match.’”
“Oh, shut up.”
“The aliens obviously forgot to remove your probe when they dropped you back on earth.”
Rachel’s lips twitched despite herself. “Really. I’m fine. Better than fine.”
He looked so innately masculine standing in her feminine apartment. His big, wide shoulders were covered in a black T-shirt that stretched across his muscular, well-defined chest and were tucked into a pair of faded jeans. She wondered if they were the same jeans he’d worn when he’d knocked her on her ass. If so, she wanted him to turn around so she could get a look at his caboose. The man had the finest ass she’d ever seen.O-kay. Time to sip the wine.Alex stalked around her tiny apartment like a big, untamed tiger. He walked to the baker’s rack where her TV and DVD player sat, tested its sturdiness. He eyed her collection of movies; a lot of murder/mystery, episodes of Cold Case Files and Forensic Files and thrillers with several chick flicks scattered in between. Rachel sipped her wine and watched his big body move with animal grace as he prowled.Alex stopped at her large book case and scanned the titles.
He looked over at her.“Do you have an obsession with death?”
She frowned. “No. I just like forensics and mysteries. Lots of people do.” Mine just started after my husband tried to murder me.
Alex made a noncommittal noise and approached her where she stood against the glass veranda door. She smelled the sandalwood on him and her blood beganto warm.
He grabbed the wine from her hand and took a sip.
“Aren’t you on duty?” she asked.“Nope.”
He sucked wine from the bottom of his lip. Rachel stared at those lips, mesmerized. So mesmerized, she didn’t realize he’d closed in on her until she felt his body heat against her.
“What is it about you, Rachel Crowe?” he whispered.
“What do you mean?”
“I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since I knocked you off that ladder.”
“Maybe you have brain damage from chasing too many murderers.”
He shook his head. “I don’t think so.”
He leaned forward, his lips brushing her ear, her neck. “You smell good.”
It had been so long since she’d felt this kind of passion. Too long. Hell, had she ever felt like this? “We shouldn’t be doing this. I’m a witness. And you don’t trust me.”
He placed one large, warm hand on her collarbone. “Trust doesn’t have anything to do with it, Rachel. It rarely does.”
Rachel felt sorry for him even while she wanted to leap into his arms and rip his clothes off. He held such little regard for emotions. Each time she’d seen him, the first time notwithstanding, he’d been as aloof as the lone tiger she’d imagined just moments ago.His fingers wrapped around the back of her neck and he drew her face to his.
“But, you’re right,” he said, his lips a breath away from hers, “we shouldn’t be doing this.”
Then why did it feel so right? Rachel wondered. Never had she felt so safe, and she reveled in the sensation. He closed the gap and captured her lips with his own.Oh, Lord.

In Dawné Words...

Favorite colors:
Red and black -- my entire house is decorated in those colors. But the basement is decorated with African masks and art from all over the world. I confess that I became addicted to eBay for a time for this artwork, but people who visit us say it's like walking into a very unique musuem. My backyard and deck is all Oriental. When you come to my house, it's a multicultral world. *that annoying song from Disney World is playing in my head*

Favorite food: Anything Italian...especially pizza, but no anchovies or olives -- blech!

Favorite movies and why: Favorite Movies: Lord of the Rings -- because it came so close to my own imagination, and Aragorn... Oh, be still my heart;
Constantine -- I love hunky, dark, tormented souls;
October Sky -- It was such a wonderful, coming of age movie.

Weirdest thing no one knows about you:
I'm a twin, but she and I are night and day (she's also forty-five minutes older) and most likely the reason why Mom likes her better. : (

Funniest thing you ever did:
You really don't want to know about Dawné's Most Embarrassing Moments. We'd be here for days reading and laughing. Suffice it to say that I'm graceful as a duck, despite the seven years of tap, ballet and Spanish dancing lessons. : )

Wildest thing you ever did:
I moved to Calgary when I seventeen (I'd just graduated high school) but stayed there only a week before I decided to come back. My hubby and I had been "dating" at the time, and he didn't want me to leave. He asked me to move in with him, but I thought I was too young and needed to be out on my own. He gave me a week in Calgary, bought a ring and was flying out to ask me to marry him. Instead, I came back to him before he had the chance. I know this sounds like a young adult Harlequin romance, but I swear, this is what happened. Better yet, we're still together after all those years.

Here is a look at Dawne's Debut book with Amira Press!

Return to Me
Genre: Vampire Erotica
Cover Artist: Dawné Dominique
Book Length: Short Story
Heat Level: Hot
http://www.amirapress.com/returntome.htm

BLURB: De’Anne Marseilles, a vampire who spent centuries taking the lives of others, is offered a gift from an angel to become mortal, to right the wrongs she has committed…and she finds she cannot refuse such forgiveness. Nathan Bothwell loves her too much to wait for De’Anne to return to their life of blood, death and love. He pays a visit one last time during the full moon of Samhain, the one night when their powers were always the strongest. Will De’Anne put aside her mortal years of loneliness and pain to accept his proposal, or is her soul now too important to toss away on the whims of love?

EXCERPT No. 1: (mild)
Rough hands slid down her slender arms, his fingertips stopping to tickle the creases of her elbows. Cold fire filled her, and she leaned her head against his dripping chest, relishing the salacious fire burning between the cleft of her legs. He passed a palm over her hips, teasing and slow, augmenting the growing heat of desire. Thick fingers traced upward in gentle sweeps, pausing above taut nipples. The warmth emanating from his flesh seeped into the coldness of her own.
"My beautiful lady," he said in a revered hush.
He swept her off her feet, carried her to the bed, and laid her across the lace coverlet. The fire’s flames revealed wonder and awe etched upon his face. He sidled beside her, so large and protective. When she lifted her head to taste his lips, he drew back with a shake of his head and a coy smile curling the corners of his full lips.
"Let my eyes feast upon you a little longer. I am no danger to you, as you can see." He held up his bound wrists. "A lowly man such as myself is rarely afforded such sights of perfection."
Wonderment filled her, for those she bedded desired one thing. This man did not impress her as delicious fodder, but rather a man worthy of her attentions. Does he possess a devil’s tongue? His expression, however, revealed his true intentions, the goodness of his heart and the yearning he felt. Never had a man laid bare his soul to her before.

EXCERPT No. 2: (hot)
"Please . . ." she begged. In over a hundred years, she had never beseeched a human for anything. His attentive, experienced manner had her clenching the bed linens in white-knuckled grips.
When he slipped a thick finger inside the sodden tunnel, she writhed in pleasure against his mouth, clenching at him with slickened muscles. "Yes." She gasped. "Fill me . . . take me . . . Ahhh . . ."
Passion turned to delicious necessity. Inserting the digit in and out, he held her in place with slow, deliberate strokes. The roughness of the rope scraped across sensitive skin, and she could feel each knuckle and callus as he urged her closer to the edge of delirium. A puddle formed beneath her, but still, Nathan refused to relent. She heard her voice from a distance, screaming out his name.
His tongue continued sampling, his finger increasing in momentum. Then another digit joined in. He worked both in perfect sync, playing her as a masterful musician would. As she gave in to his studious attentions, a raging inferno built inside her, threatening to incinerate.
He suddenly stopped. "You are too close, my Lady, and I wish to make this moment last."
Before a litany of curses could escape, she felt the end of the cord trailing along the slick wetness his mouth had just abandoned. Tiny wisps of hot air blew across her hardened clit, making it more erect than she had ever felt before. Tingles swept through her, undulating yet whispery soft. She neared the edge of no control.
Nathan worked the rope up one side and down the other, breathing into her, adding warmth to preternatural flesh. Sensations collided and she writhed in response. His teasing knew no bounds. When he wrapped the cord around a finger and slipped the end inside, she moaned, gripping the bed, wanting more. He moved in and out, inch by agonizing inch. The ridges slid along her pussy walls, gradual and stimulating. Hot air continued to torture her clit.
"My lady," he whispered, "let me drown in your nectar." He glided a finger to join with the cordage. Now, both digit and rope moved inside her, creating a wash of liquid fire to expel, but it was not what she sought, what she desired. She wanted to come.
Nathan moved closer. She sensed his lips so close to her aching clit. "Are you ready, my lady?" "Yes-s-s-s. Do not stop . . . never stop. Make me do as you . . . as you wish."
Finger and rope increased in momentum, and an adorable, throaty purr resonated from him. The world turned dark as her body roiled with carnal desire.

UPCOMING AMIRA PRESS WORKS:

I've been diligently working on a new full length vampire novel exclusively for Amira Press called Eden's Hell. It's a different take into the life of Adam after Eve.

BLURB:
Adam & Lillith, cursed as vampires for all eternity by God and Asmodeus for their adulterous affair, must learn to live as immortals in a mortal world. Eons of time pass, and the two cursed souls, now known as Addison and Satrina, have each learned to live, in their own vampiric ways, in sunny California, but both are strictly bound by the laws of the Illuminatae, the only original bible left in this world and written by the hands of both demon and god.
When one of Satrina’s pets escapes, Addison finds himself saving the frightened woman. Eva Kincaid tugs at him, rousing memories long pushed away from his mind, hidden behind barriers of despair and loneliness, for he is nothing like Satrina, nor does he wish to be.
When Satrina demands the return of her property, Addison refuses, and no one is more surprised than he is.
Can Addison truly save this human woman, who has touched a soul that has been rendered in hopeless darkness for all eternity?
