Where are you from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My family are old school vampires from the South. I moved to Unakite City to get away from them. They despised me because I love women\u2014if they could see me now. Ha! Anyway, I knew I needed to get out of there, so I left to attend college in Unakite City. Ditched my given name, too.\u00a0 Would you believe they used to call me Rita Ann? Do I even look like a Rita Ann?<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I work in an adult novelty store. I sell and model lingerie, and occasionally demonstrate the other products. It pays well, and it\u2019s convenient in terms of it being a night job. My boss gets on my last nerve on a regular basis. But he\u2019s a smart man, so he\u2019s a little afraid of me.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your main goal in life? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Right now, it\u2019s to keep my family safe. My partner\u2019s step-father is a bigwig in the Vampire Nation and his people are after us. Don\u2019t ask me why. If I told you, I\u2019d have to\u2026well, you know the rest.<\/p>\n

Who is your closest friend? <\/strong><\/p>\n

My partner, Jewell. We\u2019ve been friends since college.<\/p>\n

Who is your love interest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Same answer: My partner, Jewell. Since the night we met, I haven\u2019t left her side. She is the best part of my life.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite thing about Jewell?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to pick a favorite. We have a lot of fun together going to concerts. And she\u2019s kind and loving and sensitive and trusting\u2026and vulnerable. I protect her. I will always keep her safe.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the most annoying thing about Jewell?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s easy. She doesn\u2019t do what I think she should do. She continues to talk to her ridiculous family. She puts up with Cheyenne\u2019s antics. Who\u2019s Cheyenne, you ask? Our incubus boyfriend and the father of our children.<\/p>\n

Do you have a secret fantasy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I suppose. I wish Jewell and Cheyenne and I could all be together, raising our children and loving one another. But incubi and vampires are not permitted to associate. Not that it matters. Jewell and I can\u2019t stay in one place for too long. And we won\u2019t let the mess we\u2019ve made put Cheyenne or our kids in danger.<\/p>\n

Describe yourself in three words.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Loyal. Protective. I\u2019ve been called ruthless, but I prefer the term \u201cpractical\u201d.<\/p>\n

Do you have pets?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, my little incubus puppy, Cheyenne. Totally untrainable but he\u2019s ours. And we love him.<\/p>\n

What kind of music do you listen to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheyenne\u2019s. Once you\u2019ve heard the best, the rest are hard to tolerate.<\/p>\n

Name one piece of clothing you wouldn\u2019t want to live without?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My stilettos. I like being tall.<\/p>\n

What is the craziest thing you\u2019ve ever done?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fall in love with an incubus, the vampire\u2019s mortal enemy. It doesn\u2019t help that he\u2019s also the son of their leader. Seriously, what the hell was I thinking?<\/p>\n

Thanks for having me on your blog. Just don\u2019t tell anyone how you found me.<\/p>\n

After Midnight<\/em><\/p>\n

Prequel to House of the Rising Son<\/em><\/p>\n

Living After Midnight Series<\/em><\/p>\n

Improbable love. Impossible life. Immeasurable danger.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jewell\u2019s stepfather thinks she\u2019s worthless. She agrees. When she looks in the mirror she sees an overweight, overemotional, overeating mess who can\u2019t keep her fangs to herself.<\/p>\n

Ria hails from a family of old world vamps who’d be happy to share their wealth with her, if only she\u2019d fall in line. Fat chance, especially since being in that line includes not being gay.<\/p>\n

Being in love is easy for Ria and Jewell\u2014the young vampires belong together like vodka and tomato juice. Adding Cheyenne, a talented and sexy incubus, to their union is the hot sauce in their Bloody Mary. The only problem? Vampires and incubi are mortal enemies.<\/p>\n

Despite the odds Ria, Jewell and Cheyenne find their way to happiness. But Jewell is hiding a huge secret, one that defies the laws of procreation: She\u2019s going to have a baby.<\/p>\n

While she tries to figure out how to break the unbelievable news to her lovers, a horror from Jewell\u2019s past slithers into her present, forcing choices no one should have to make.<\/p>\n

Will it be love or death? Happiness or safety? She has until dawn to decide…and it’s already After Midnight.<\/p>\n

~~<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The choice between staying in on a Saturday night to clean and going to see Cheyenne at his first real gig hadn\u2019t been a complicated decision. He was a world-class rocker who could play the guitar like a fiend and had a voice that made you feel\u2026everything. Or made you horny. And fuck if she didn\u2019t love him. Damn incubus.<\/p>\n

She reached across him and caressed Jewell\u2019s side. Jewell\u2019s eyes opened and she stared expressionless at the ceiling, hyper-alert to danger. It always took a few moments after resurrecting for her to remember where she was and who was with her, but since moving into their new home it seemed to take even longer.<\/p>\n

Ria sighed. She\u2019d do anything if it would help Jewell feel safe enough to die each dawn and awaken peacefully. \u201cAll is well, Babydoll. It\u2019s just me. Time to rise and twinkle with the stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlready?\u201d Jewell scrunched her eyes and blinked as if trying to focus them.<\/p>\n

Cheyenne lay his head on the soft swell of Jewell\u2019s belly. \u201cDidn\u2019t we just go to bed?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ria kissed his back and licked a slow trail down his spine. \u201cHours ago. Did we tucker out the poor little sex demon?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot hardly, dead girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

She grabbed a fistful of his hair and turned him to face her. \u201cThat\u2019s undead<\/em> girl, thank you.\u201d She bit his lower lip and let it drag between her teeth. \u201cShow us what you\u2019ve got left.\u201d<\/p>\n
