Kissed by Death Book Art
Exclusive Book Art!
Kissed by Death - the Gods Ball
Book art is pretty much my FAVORITE thing!Ā
And since I’ve acquired my own favorite book artist I’m regularly asking her to illustrate my characters.
And of course, I have to share.
This is a scene from a scene inĀ Kissed by DeathĀ where Grim and Vivien attend a god’s ball.
Grim must present his new blood bound sekhor to all the rest of the god’s and let’s just say, there are more than a fewĀ sharks in the water.Ā
They must present a united front, no matter what’s happened betweened them
Can we talk about ALL the things I am obsessed with in this piece?Ā
Not only did my artist create a stunning scene that perfectly captures the dance between Grim and Vivien…
but her attention to detail blows me away!!!!Ā
Grim’s death cloak is legit…
- but did you you also notice the skull ring he wears?Ā
- And the ankh on his cuff?Ā
- And if that doesn’t wow you, direct your gaze to the left to see Grim’s reflection in the mirror.Ā
WOW! FREAKIN’ WOW!

Meet the Voice of Vivien

Bitten by Death is coming in audio May 20th and I’m over the moon about the narrators and their performance so far!
Meet Vivienne Ferrari (or she also narrates under the name Veronica Giguere) the voice of *my* Vivien – a vampire who woke up in a morgue with no memories and finds herself hunted by Death himself.Ā
Honestly, the moment I heard her audition, I knew Vivienne *nailed* the delivery of my humor in this book which is legit laugh out loud funny. She also brings a vulnerability to the character who can be tough as nails but her armor definitely has some big chunks missing.Ā
Vivienne Ferrari answered some of my most pressing questions, which include her thoughts about drinking out of the skulls of her enemies.Ā (You’ll quickly see why she is as hilarious as my Vivien)
ME: If you could have superpowers, what would kind would you chose?
VF:Ā Mimicry! Like, being able to listen to someone for five seconds, then do a dead-on impression of their accent and speech patterns.
Ā
ME:Ā How would you describe your voice/narration style? (or how have others described it?)
VF:Ā I’m a smart, snarky, and slightly seductive storyteller. I’ve had others describe it as coffee and chocolate, conversational with a touch of indulgence.
Ā
ME:Ā Coffee or Tea?
VF:Ā COFFEE. Although, I’ve got a fair amount of tea, too. But coffee = love.
Ā
ME:Ā What’s been your favorite part about narrating Bitten by Death
VF:Ā Vivien’s attitude! She’s so delightfully fun. I wound up reading bits aloud to my husband while I prepped the book (reading and making notes) and cackling wildly. The tension is *delicious.*
Ā
ME:Ā Drinking from the skulls of your enemies – yea or nay?
VF:Ā I dunno… I remember the whole “mad cow disease” scare… and most of my enemies don’t have sexy craniums. Probably a nay.
Ā
ME:Ā While we are waiting for Bitten by Death to come out, what is another book you’ve narrated that readers can listen to right now?
VF:Ā ECHO One: Tales from the Secret World Chronicle is a collection of short stories by Mercedes Lackey, Dennis K. Lee, Cody Martin… and me! The series began as a podcast and is how I started narrating audiobooks. I narrated this anthology that blends metahumans and magic, with stories set in WW2 and the present day. https://wordfirepress.com/books/echo-one-tales-from-the-secret-world-chronicles/
Bitten by Death is available for pre-order in ebook right now and will be available in Audio on May 20th, so you can enjoy the k i l l e r performance by Vivienne Ferrari!Ā
Want to hear Vivienne Ferrari SLAY this vampire part? Enjoy this exclusive excerpt!

15 Paranormal Romance Must-Reads

Add these hot paranormal romances to your TBR pile!
Ā
My father made a terrible mistake. One Iām left paying for.
As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, Iām labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt.
When I can’t take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don’t like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leaderās son, drags me back before my first shift… a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, Iām filled with hope for a brighter future.
Afterall, no one ever rejects their true mate, right?
Wrong. Very wrong.
When the wolves attack, my soul screams for vengeance, and somehow I touch the shadow world. Somehow I bring him to our lands.
The Shadow Beast. Our shifter god. The devil himself.
Turns out being rejected by my mate was only the beginning.
*If you like sexy, dark paranormal romances, with humor, steam, action, a tough heroine and an antihero, this is for you.
Some people are ordained for greatness…
Those people usually have a lot of drama in their life. Drama I happily do without. I live in a forgotten corner of nowhere for a reason: there is safety in anonymity. I have enough problems just trying to get by.
But when Kieran, a sinfully sexy demigod at the pinnacle of power, crashes into my life, suddenly my whole world is turned upside down.
He’s harboring a deadly secret, one that could destroy all he holds dear. He thinks I’m the key to his salvation, and he wants me to help him claim vengeance.
He also wants me with a passion that burns my body from the inside out.
To ignore him is impossible, but to give in to my desires, even for a night, would thrust me into danger I might not survive.
Can I resist the temptation?

If you saw his face, youād have a death wish too.
My life sucks. More accurately, I suckāblood.
I woke up on a cold slab in a morgue, two weeks ago, with no memories, and a new drinking habit that seriously cramps my ability to make friends.
Now Iām hunting for answers in Sin City about my past and who I was, but someone else is huntingĀ me.
When Death, himself comes to collect me, I find myself facing the most magnificent, terrifying being imaginable. Who knew the grim reaper wore a tailored suit, and ran the most exclusive hotel on the Vegas strip?
He wants to hold me prisoner? Fine, I will rattle the cage and make his life a living hell until I get my freedom.
And I absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, let him know his hand is wrapped around my soul.
The Vegas Immortals series is an action-packed, slow-burn to steamy romance featuring a cheeky, tough heroine and dark hero.
Ā
I made a deal with the devil. Now heās claimed me as his mate.
When my best friend goes missing in Las Vegas, thereās only one man I can turn to for help.
Lucas Ifer. Billionaire playboy. CEO of Abaddon Inc. King of Sin City. Andā¦the devil himself?
Lucasāaka Luciferāagrees to help me, but in exchange he wants one thing: me.
Heās dark, dangerous, and wickedly handsome. Oh, and evil incarnate. I should say no, but I canāt. Iām that desperate.
But when you make a deal with the devil, there’s no escaping it. Now he owns my body for seven nights of sin. Even worse, he owns my soul for all eternity.
Iām Persephone being claimed by Hades, and I have no choice but to enter his underworld and become his dark queen.
Is there any light left in that black heart? Or will his darkness consume me?
The angel of death wants me to be his wife.
Most days, I steal from ships to earn a living. Not glamorous, admittedly, but it’s honest work. Okay, fine. It isn’t honest either, but it means I get to eat.
Until one night, a sinfully sexy angel strides into my favorite dance hall and compels me to work for him. It isn’t just work, though. He wants me to be his wife in Castle Hades. Apparently, his prophetic dreams say I’ll help him become king.
Beautiful as he is, he’s also a lethal tyrant. And I could be in danger. Luckily, I know how to fight back, how to weaken an angel: I must seduce him.
Now, this is a battle, and heās my beautiful enemy. We are fighting with weapons of desire, and we’re both at risk of losing ourselves in this war.
I’ve been kidnapped by Zeus. Plucked from the streets of Manhattan and frightened half to death by a freaking Olympian god.
And now I’m trapped in the Underworld, being forced to compete in a series of deadly trials for the position of Queen of the Underworld. Which would mean marrying Hades, the utterly terrifying Lord of the Dead. Who the hell wants a husband at all, let alone one made of smoke and riddled with death?
I have to get back home, to New York and my brother. But I can’t leave without completing the trials and they’ve been designed for a godly Queen, notĀ Persephone – barista and botanical garden enthusiast.
I’m surrounded by lethal, all-powerful maniacs. Sexy-as-hell maniacs, sure, but as dangerous as they come.Ā And I’m going to have to prove to all of them that there’s a goddess of hell inside me. It’s the only way I’ll survive the Hades Trials. But then what? AndĀ why, why, whyĀ am I so desperate to see under Hades smoky exterior and find out what he’s hiding from me?
If I win the trials, I have to marry the devil himself. But losing might mean losing my life.
For a decade, Iāve hated the supernaturals who owned my world.
I hunted them.
I killed them.
And now, in the most grand twist of fateāI am bonded to one of them.
Oh, the irony.
Being a supernatural bounty hunter isnāt exactly a popular job. But after the magic wars, there arenāt many things a human can do that will put food on the table.
Thankfully anything my right hook canāt handle, my guns can.
Or so I thought.
When a demon summoning runs awry, the being that comes into this world changes everything.
Iām not sure if heās truly a demon or a god, but one thing I do know is that heās after me. Iād like to see him try.
Iāve got a promise to fulfill, and Iām not backing down.
The only way out of this is his death or mine, and Iāll do anything to survive.
Even if that means making a deal with the devil.
Loving her is not only forbidden, it could bring about the end of the world.
Everything changes, when heās forced to expose his secret.
Asher Morestead lives a double life protecting his secret. His life was lonely and uncomplicated until the scent of a beautiful brunette leaves him weak and dizzy. No one told this wolf his fated mate was out there.
Fate has chosen her, she just doesnāt know it yet.
Gwen Taylor enjoys working at Woods Bistro and forging her own path in life, veering away from her fatherās. Her favourite part of the day is when the handsome veterinarian walks in, whose rough voice and deep eyes make her heart race and her body quake.
After being saved by a white wolf, Gwen canāt stop thinking about those familiar blue eyes.
Now seeing wolves is a normal occurrence, but Gwenās being watched, and her growing attraction to Asher only serves to confuse her.
With his animal need for Gwen rising, and the number of wolves showing up, he may not be able to control himself. Asher needs to claim Gwen as his mate without running her off ā or she might run straight into the hands of her stalker, or into dangerous paws.
Vampires aren’t real, right?
People say I’m a weirdo. Sure, my idea of a party is a mini box of wine and hanging out with a feral raccoon, but it works for me.
When Iām accused of murder, things get crazy. One, I learn that I have magic. Two, thereās a secret magical city hidden right in London itself. And three, my only hope is a vampire whoās sexy as sin and scary as the devil himself. He’s called the Devil of Darkvale, and he all but owns Guild City.
Some say I should just quit and turn myself in. Not a chance. Iām going to solve this murder myself, which means surviving in a new world of witch parties, magical guilds, and a vampire with a tortured past. The vampire and I are like colliding stars, and the heat is irresistible. I should avoid him, but if I want to save my own life, heās my only hope.
Cold-blooded kidnappers. Long-lost magic. When things get serious, she goes full Sherlock.
Ashira Cohen takes pride in being the only female private investigator in Vancouver. With her skills, her missing persons case should be a piece of cake.
She wasn’t counting on getting bashed in the skull, revealing a hidden tattoo and supernatural powers she shouldn’t possess.
Or the bitter icing on top: a spree of abductions and terrifying ghostly creatures on a deadly bender.
And don’t even get her started on the golems.
Reluctantly partnered with her long-time nemesis Levi, the infuriating leader of the magic community, Ash resolves to keep her focus on the clue trail and off their sexual tension because WTF is up with that?
But with a mastermind organization pulling strings from the shadows and Levi’s arrogance driving her to pick out his body bag, can Ash rescue the captives and uncover the truth or will the next blood spilled be her own?
Bloody hell. How inconvenient.
Werewolf Byron Adwell prides himself on his hard-won self-control.
Heās hours away from beginning the most important job of his life. What seemed like a harmless drink with his new team suddenly feels like fate is meddling. His restraint is tested like never before the moment he spotsĀ her.
The gorgeous green-eyed, raven-haired witch has a magnetic energy that calls to him like a siren. She walked straight out of his dreams into the exclusive New Orleans club for paranormals.
Whatās more, she makes him want to forget all his training, his plans, his duty.
This canāt be happening. Not here. Not now.
Not with the lives of the six resident Stigward Guardians in Byronās hands. His time, focus and dedication must be on them, on his work.
He absolutely, positively does not have time for a mate.
Itās been seven years. Seven long years since that cold and cruel Vampire King, Lucius, broke her heart. Her naive little heart destroyed after one painful night she sneaked in to his Gothic nightclub, Transfusion. Seven years since he humiliated her, casting her aside and telling her just what he thought about her little obsession with him. Then he saves her life. Well, now he is back and this time he is out for blood, and all she can hope for is that it isnāt hers thatās on the menu. Because she is just your typical, ordinary, everyday girl who works and lives in London. Even if she is trying to make it on her own without the safety of her family. However, growing up knowing of the supernatural world and being human definitely has its draw backs. Especially when a certain Vampire King has her in mind for a date and his dominant and forceful ways are sending her re-ignited obsession with him into overdrive.But he does like herā¦doesnāt he?
Duncan Larsen has always had his eye on his brotherās human friend, Aurora, but there are lines that a brother should never cross.
But when Duncan repeatedly finds himself stuck in close quarters on the shifter āLove Boatā with her, he canāt deny the attraction between them. And his wolf canāt deny the urge to claim her.Ā
Aurora made a pact with Duncanās brother twenty years ago when they were little more than children. If he doesnāt find his one true mate by the age of thirty-two, sheāll accept his claim and help him lead the pack. Only she never knew sheād actually have to follow through with it.Ā
Now sheās caught between duty and desire when her heart starts beating for the wrong werewolf brother.
And heās torn between love and loyalty when all he wants is to steal his brotherās mate.Ā Maybe on this cruise, fate will rearrange their course.
Broke, almost homeless, and recently fired. Those are my official reasons for answering a wanted ad for a skeevy-looking bartender gig.
It went downhill the moment they asked for a trial shift instead of an interviewāto see if I’d mesh with their “special” clientele. I think that part went great. Their customers were complete jerks, and I was an asshole right back. That’s the definition of fitting in, right?
I expected to get thrown out on my ass. Instead, they … offered me the job?
It turns out this place isn’t a bar. It’s aĀ guild. And the three cocky guys I drenched with a margarita during my trial? Yeah, they were mages. Either I’m exactly the kind of takes-no-shit bartender this guild needs, or there’s a good reason no one else wants to work here.
So what’s a broke girl to do? Take the job, of courseāwith a pay raise.
A ruthless vampire king. An alluring crime family heiress. A dark desire that wonāt be tamedā¦
Charlotte…
Charlotte DāAmico never met a safe she couldnāt crack, a penthouse she couldnāt case, or a stuck-up rich guy she couldnāt deceive. So when the crime boss who runs her life orders her to spy on yet another reclusive billionaire, Charleyās not worried.
Smile pretty, keep the boss happy, keep her sister safe. Thatās how it works.
But Dorian Redthorne is no ordinary mark.
Heās charming, funny, and sinfully hot, with a whiskey-smooth British accent that leaves her aching for more.
Heās also dark, dangerous, andĀ definitelyĀ hiding secretsā¦
Secrets that might just get her killed.
Dorian…
Vampire king Dorian Redthorne has more responsibilities than he can count.
Keep New Yorkās supernaturals in line. Protect whatās left of his family. And above all, bury his dead fatherās secrets⦠before their enemies discover the royal familyās greatest weakness.
Charlotte DāAmico is a complication he doesnāt need.
But the scent of her blood is intoxicating, her heartbeat a siren call he canāt resist.
One stolen kiss, and Dorian knows how this ends: He claims her, or he bleeds her dry.
Unfortunately, his pretty little con woman is as treacherous as his enemies.
The question isā¦
Which will destroy him first?
