Hello!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Sunday newsletter. I’ve been focusing on the sequel to Captain’s Mercy as well as Feasting With the Enemy, the last story in the Scarlet Nights series. Feasting With the Enemy is due to release toward the end of this month. In it, May and Blair have to face the New Reign (introduced in Bloody or Nothing).
In April and May lots of great guests visited this blog and the Compelling Beasts Blog. Check out the list of guests below.
Also if you missed Werewolf Week or if you would like to revisit some of the guests, the posts are listed below.
I hope you had a great month of May and are enjoying June so far.
Kate
Coming in June
Scarlet Nights 3: Feasting With the Enemy
After more than a century sharing a bed and fighting at each other’s backs, vampire warriors Blair and May have forged an unbreakable bond.
Now the mysterious New Reign is seeking additional members. Their philosophy–recruit or destroy. Using mind manipulation, they stir up dark memories from the past to tempt Blair and May into killing each other.
Given the chance to resurrect his murdered first wife and children, will Blair now sacrifice the woman he loves–his wife and blood child, May?

Excerpt of the Week:
Scarlet Nights 1: Starving Artist
by Kate Hill
Maybe it was because she arrived at ten minutes to midnight that Wildberry Hill looked ominous. Tangles of bushes lined both sides of the walk leading up to the mansion silhouetted against the enormous autumn moon.
May shivered in her worn cloak and made her way toward the house. Several times she glanced over her shoulder, her heart pounding. She thought she’d heard someone behind her, but it was merely the echo of her own shoes against the cobblestones.
As instructed, she walked to the front door, but hesitated before using the brass knocker. It was terribly inappropriate for a servant to approach the front door, but Mr. Fiske had said her new employer insisted that everyone enter through the front. He’d said Mr. Black was an artist and a bit of a recluse.
A strong wind cut through her and she considered knocking again.
Then the door opened and she found herself facing a blue-eyed man with wild ginger hair and a short beard. Tall and lean, he wore a linen shirt, unbuttoned, and well-fitting black trousers that accentuated the length of his legs. Paint in various colors stained his clothes and marked the pale skin of his lean chest. A streak of blue ran down the length of his long, straight nose.
“Hello,” he said, staring at her, his brow furrowed in question.
“Pardon me, but I’m here to see Mr. Black.”
His slender lips pressed into an annoyed line. He stared at her so long that she started to feel quite uncomfortable, yet that was a sensation she’d grown accustomed to of late.
Finally he said, “What business do you have with Mr. Black?”
“I’m the new maid.”
“The new what?” He curled his lip and her stomach clenched. She nearly took a step back, but held her ground. She desperately needed this job.
“Mr. Fiske said I was expected.”
“Then Mr. Fiske lied. We have no need of a maid here.”
“But–”
He closed the door in her face and May winced.
She stood for a moment, stunned and terrified.
Mr. Fiske had paid for her train ticket here and given her money to hire a ride to the manor, but the wagon was already gone.
The driver had rushed off as soon as she’d placed both feet on the ground.
It was miles to the village–not that it mattered even if she walked there. She had no money, no job and absolutely nowhere to go but the street.
May turned and made her way down the walk, slowly at first then finally breaking into a run, as if she could somehow escape her problems.
