Interview with AK Nevermore
How long have you been writing?
Seriously for about seven years, but in general as long as I can remember.
What are your favorite genres to read and write?
Romance and Romantasy that all fall under paranormal, urban fantasy, science fiction… basically smutty SFF.
What is one of your favorite things about writing?
Getting lost in a world of your own making.
What makes a great romance (delete romance if your book is a different genre) hero?
I’m a sucker for a tortured soul.
What makes a great romance (delete romance if your book is a different genre) heroine?
She’s got to be feisty and take zero crap.
What makes a great villain or antagonist?
Someone you can relate to but really don’t want to. I want to love to hate them.
When you’re brainstorming for a new story, what usually comes first for you, the plot or the characters?
Characters, definitely.
Are you a plotter or a pantser?
I am a total pantser.
When you’re writing, who is more in control, you or your characters?
Oh they are, absolutely no doubt there.
Can you write sex scenes at any time or do you have to be “in the mood?”
I can pretty much write them whenever, but you definitely have to be in the right headspace to add that last dash of spice.
What is the most difficult thing about writing?
Getting your name out there. There are so many amazing authors, it can be a real struggle to get your book noticed in the crowd.
What do you like about writing series books?
Following characters through an established world. It’s like wearing your favorite pair of sweats.
What is one of your favorite ways to learn about your characters?
Put them in terrible situations and see what happens.
Do you find it harder to write novels or short stories?
Short stories, hands down!!
Would you tell us about your latest release?
The Maw of Mayhem MC Series is a dark fantasy erotica series, full of shifter, witches, and vampires. It’s based around the VP of the Maw of Mayhem MC, Grimdarke James, and his fated mate Kit. Neither one of them is thrilled to find that out, but their inner cats are, and it makes for some really interesting storytelling when everything goes to hell in a hand basket.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on book 4 of that series.
What makes the hero of the Maw of Mayhem exciting?
He doesn’t know what he can do, and he has to overcome his inner demons before he can come to terms with any of it.
Do you prefer writing your heroes, your heroines or do you like writing both equally?
I like writing the guys more, but it’s by a really slim margin.
Is there anything else you would like readers to know about you or your work?
Yeah, if you get a chance, definitely check out my site, aknevermore.com, there’s a ton of free downloads for readers to check out.
Thank you for stopping by!
Book Title: Grimdarke
by AK Nevermore
Paranormal MC Erotica
Blurb:
Out of options and on the run after her psychotic father’s released from jail, Kit Parson heads to the only place she might be safe from him, the Maw of Mayhem MC. The unexpected move buys her time, but also a puts her at risk— Surrounded by shifters, her inner cat begs to be released, and after witnessing a brutal attack on her mother as a child, she refuses to let the monster out.
Totally doable, provided no bodily fluids are ever exchanged.
That means hooking up with the MC’s hot as hell VP, Grimdarke James, is off the table. Mourning the recent murder of the club’s alpha and struggling to control his inner cat, the tattooed Viking god is on thin ice. If he goes feral again, he’ll be put down. Which makes his cat’s insistence that Kit belongs to him problematic, upsetting the delicate balance of the MCs internal politics, and the woman blackmailing Grim.
But when Kit’s father catches up with her, Grim has no choice but to trust his cat, and Kit can’t deny their chemistry. Can they hold on to each other when everything is trying to tear them apart? After a gruesome triple murder propels them deeper into the paranormal world, they find themselves with unlikely allies, and against mounting odds threatening to destroy everything they hold dear…
Excerpt:
“Mind if I join?”
She glanced over, then away, all dismissive.
Yeah, she remembered him. Challenge accepted, baby.
A scarf held back hair so dark it shone blue where the light hit it, and those almond eyes — Okay, those were pretty much telling him to fuck off, but he could smell the lie. She was into him. He grinned, fingering the memory of her fist hitting his jaw, and she flipped a long ebony lock over her shoulder.
— want —
Yes, we do… Damn, what the fuck did MK have the heat set at in here? Grim pushed up the sleeves of his Henley, and she snuck another peek at him. Her gaze trailed the tattoos spiraling from his knuckles to his forearms, then jumped to the ink at his open collar, following it up his throat —
Eyes whiskey-dark caught his, her pupils blowing wide just like that night. He palmed across the growing wet spot on his thigh, nostrils flaring at the punch of her arousal in the air. Mmm. Yeah. That’s what I’m talking about… Grim stretched a leg behind her stool, juddering it closer.
“Hey! You mind?” She pulled away, wobbling. He shot out a hand to steady her, and she bit back a gasp at his touch. Fuck, she was just a little thing under that damned hoodie.
“Careful He grinned, releasing her to pour another. “I’m Grim. Didn’t expect you to follow me home. You stalking me, baby?”
Her eyes widened comically. “What? I — no… No! God, are you serious?” She shook her head, clearly flustered and pissed off about it, those lush lips of hers flattening to match her glare. “What kind of a name is Grim?”
A shitty one. He shrugged. “I’d ask my mama, but she’s thirty-two years dead. And you are?”
Color bloomed over cheeks and she winced. “Kit — I mean, Katherine. And my stool was fine where it was.”
Goddamn, she was fucking adorable on top of gorgeous. “Mmm. I like you close.
Wouldn’t want you to cut out on me again.”
She snorted like she was daring him to stop her if she tried.
Oh baby, please try…
