Sunday's thoughts on Inferno: Chronicles of Nick - Sherrilyn Kenyon

Series: Chronicles of Nick (Book 4)

Book Description ~ The heat is on, and a new threat to humanity has risen…

Nick has his driver’s license and he’s not afraid to use it. But turning sixteen isn’t what he thought it would be. While other boys his age are worried about prom dates and applying for college, Nick is neck deep in enemies out to stop him from living another day. No longer sure if he can trust anyone, his only ally seems to be the one person he’s been told will ultimately kill him.

But life spent serving the undead is anything except ordinary. And those out to get him have summoned an ancient force so powerful even the gods fear it. As Nick learns to command and control the elements, the one he must master in order to combat his latest foe is the one most likely...

Review ~
I love SK dedicated a series to Nick so we can watch him grow from a awkward teenager to Mr. Badass. 

In book four, fans will be clued in on what and who Koda really is. 

Adarian, Artemis, Simi, Ash, and Kyrian will have their "screen time" and be prepared for many shockers such as the ending. What a cliffhanger!! 

Before I end this review I want to speak about Grim. He was a freaking hoot. Yeah, I never thought I would say that but he was. Him as a germaphobe was hilarious. Yup, you heard me right. He's a HUMUNGOUS supporter of hand sanitizer!

Interview with Angelica Dawson

Welcome, Angelica Dawson!

1.  For those who might not be familiar with you, would you be a dear and tell the reader’s a little about yourself? How you got your start in the writing business?

(A) My first erotic writings were fanfiction. However, I found a lot of the same over and over there, so I decided to take my own characters, vampires, and make them go where those other authors seemed to trip up. I made Blue Moon House as boundary breaking as I could, and thought no one would possibly want to publish it. I was very wrong.

2.  All writers fear the dreaded “block”. Please tell us how you handle it.

(A) By writing something else for a while. I have another penname and write YA, adult literary fiction, horror, all sorts of other things as well as erotica. When one well runs dry, I can usually tap another until the muse comes around again. Another go to is editing. I currently have four erotic pieces in one state or another of draft. I can always open one of those and tinker.

3. Contrary to what some people envision about a romance writer’s life, it’s not all glitz and glamor. Well not for the majority of us. With that bubble sadly busted, when you’re not writing, how to do you spend your time?

(A) I'm an environmental consultant three days a week (and most of the summer). Aside from that I have a six year-old daughter and husband that appreciate my love and attention when my characters aren't clamouring for it.

4. I know many writers, such as Dirk and myself, keep their pastime/career a secret. Do those close to you know you write? If so, what are their thoughts?

(A) I haven't kept it a secret at all. Many people, however, I only mention this penname to once. It's obvious right away if that person is interested in knowing more, or would rather pretend I only right 'nice' fiction. My closest friends and family, however, are nothing but supportive.

5. Will you share with us your all time favorite authors? If you’re like me, it’s a long list so give us your top ten.

(A) Phew. I'm used to being told to give one and that drives me insane trying to choose! Tamora Pierce, Robert Jordan and Marion Zimmer Bradley are my fantasy faves. I love Tessa Wanton's erotic work as well as D.F. Kreiger. Phillip K Dick and Larry Niven for Science Fiction. Lucy Maud Montgomery is classic.

6. If you could choose one book to go to the big screen, yours or otherwise, which book would you choose and whom would you love see casted in the parts?

(A) I hate this question. I'm not a movie buff. I've never been a blockbuster person. I see movies three or four years after they've released when they're in a bargin bin somewhere. I'll go: Hey! I always wanted to see that! So popular actors for casting is impossible for me. I would like to see Anne McCaffery's Dragons of Pern made into a movie.

7. Would you care to tell us what you’re working on now? That is if it’s not top-secret information. If so, just whisper it in my ear. I swear it’ll go no further.

(A) I'm working on prequels to Blue Moon House. I have five of seven done in one draft or another and two to go! I'm also tinkering with a fairy story that doesn't have a title yet.

8. Where can we find your stories and is there a particular reading order?

(A) I'm published with Naughty Nights Press. 

Blue Moon House is my only novella so far. (click here to purchase at NNP store) 

I have a short story in the third Campus Sexploits Anthology (click here to purchase at NNP store) 

And another in Breathless Press' first Serviced Anthology (click here to purchase at Breathless Press store). 

The three are completely unrelated and can be read in any order. 

They are also available on Amazon  (http://www.amazon.com/Angelica-Dawson/e/B0094Z3KHC <--author page with all three titles)

9. Would you please share how your present and future fans can contact you?

(A) My blog is http://angelicadawson.blogspot.com

My Facebook fan page is http://facebook.com/authorangelicadawson

My Twitter handle is @angelicadawson

I'm on Goodreads as well: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6511568.Angelica_Dawson

10. Before we conclude this enlightening interview, do you have anything else you’d like to share? The stage is all yours.

(A) I have regular flashfiction on my blog. If you want to get a taste of my writing without a purchase, stop by!

Book Summary~

Rayce is one of four Matik Masters, a wolf destined to take the role of Pack Master once his father steps down from the throne, but a centuries old war with the Belarus pack has left Rayce cold, dominant, and wicked; love never an ultimate ending for him. In order to end the war, he is suddenly introduced to La’el, future Pack Master for the Belarus pack and... his intended mate.

La’el is uncertain of their destiny. Pure, innocent, and never one eager to find himself in bed with a male, La’el is suddenly thrust into a mated relationship with the harsh Rayce. He doesn’t foresee love or kindness coming from the male, but through the wicked, black stare of Rayce’s eyes, La’el sees something that even the dominant Pack Master does not – the possibility of love.

​
The first moment they set eyes on each other there is a spark of heat. But, when it becomes clear that, in order to save the werewolf packs, flesh must be shared, will La’el run and leave Rayce without a mate or will he stay and take a chance on a new beginning that he never expected he craved.

Book Summary~

Enrick longs to be like the moon--unbound of rules and carefree but a violent past has left this werewolf cold and cruel. He makes a vow: He will never take a permanent submissive mate to please his dark dominant nature.

Submissive Kai is unwilling to let Enrick, a male who cares for nothing and no one, slip from his future. In a twist of fate, an opportunity presents itself. Willing to sacrifice his own pack, Kai seduces his way into an eternity of unbound pleasure.

Together, they embark on an emotional journey that will leave the deepest, most passionate scars any testament of love can.

Interview with J.C. Wells

1. Welcome, J.C. Wells. For those who might not be familiar with you, would you be a dear and tell the reader’s a little about yourself? How you got your start in the writing business?

(JC) Sure thing! Well, I’m originally from good ‘ol California, home of the sunshine! (Which is currently under a cover of clouds, but don’t tell anyone I told you that.) I think I remember getting my start in the writing field on cocktail napkins actually. When I was a kid, I used to steal them from my dad or mom and write little lyrics on them, just some one-liners or so, then cover them up with smiley faces and those really cool S drawing you did when you were a kid because everyone did them and you felt like the BOMB because you figured them out all on your own. (Oh I know. You did them too, don’t lie.) Anyway, when I got into high school, I started with poetry and that was cool but it didn’t do anything for me. I wanted to write books. So, I just…did. Now, I have some short stories published with Horny Devil Publishing and am working on getting the bigger pieces out there as well.

2.  All writers fear the dreaded “block”. Please tell us how you handle it.

(JC) Oh my god, I’m the worst!! I once had writers block for a year and a half. I won’t even deny it. A year and a half!! How did I handle it? I wrote something else. And another. And another. And then FINALLY, I had the want to write the piece I had put aside. I feel like you just have to let go of the frustration and work on something else. Sooner or later, could be five days or five years, you’ll know exactly what comes next.

3. Contrary to what some people envision about a romance writer’s life, it’s not all glitz and glamor. Well not for the majority of us. With that bubble sadly busted, when you’re not writing, how to do you spend your time?

(JC) “Welcome to Best Buy! Can I help you find anything in the gaming department?” Yeah, I say that a hundred times a day, 32 hours a week. I also go to grad school for Creative Writing in CT, intern for a publishing house, and am a production manager for a literary magazine called Mason’s Road. Isn’t that all just so exciting?!

4. I know many writers, such as Dirk and myself, keep their pastime/career a secret. Do those close to you know you write? If so, what are their thoughts?

(JC) Yeah they know. I don’t hide what I do. My friends and family are all supportive but many of them won’t pick up my M/M erotic shorts…or if they have, they haven’t told me. They love that I am creative and always eager to come up with new ideas. My mom is actually my guinee pig. I will read to her what I’m working on and if she says “yay!” then I submit. If she’s torn, I rework.

5. Will you share with us your all time favorite authors? If you’re like me, it’s a long list so give us your top ten.

1. JR Ward

2. Sherrilyn Kenyon

3. Christine Feehan

4. Kerrelyn Sparks

5. Gena Showalter

6. Shakespeare

7. Jeaniene Frost

8.  Lynsay Sands

9. Eva LeNoir

10. Alex Cook

6. If you could choose one book to go to the big screen, yours or otherwise, which book would you choose and whom would you love see casted in the parts?

(JC)  I’d like to see JR Ward’s series on the big screen. I’m not sure who I would cast as who but I feel like some of the brothers/bastards would consist of Vin Diesel, Hugh Jackman, The Rock, Wentworth Miller, Jason Statham, and Brad Pitt maybe.

7. Would you care to tell us what you’re working on now? That is if it’s not top-secret information. If so, just whisper it in my ear. I swear it’ll go no further.

(JC) Haha! I am working on many things. Currently, I just finished and submitted the first of a new comedy/erotic series called Hells Bells. I have also sent in book 3 of my Matik Masters. I am now focusing on book 4, the final book, of the Matik Masters, as well as writing an erotic short with my close friend/author Eva LeNoir.

8. Where can we find your stories and is there a particular reading order?

(JC) I am on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo Books, All Romance E-books, and Smashwords. For the Matik Master series, it has an order: Rayce, Enrick, Sorth, Petar, but Sorth and Petar are still in the works and coming. Double or Nothing is the first of another series I am writing.

(JC) I want to welcome all future and current fans to contact me. I love talking with my fans and getting to know them, learning what they love about my writing, and more. For those who have asked, I am currently working on some merch, if possible, as well as trying to figure out if I could attend a conference at some point in the future.
