All right, I’m off for the weeked to the Emerald City Writers Conference. I’ll post all about it Sunday night! I’m sure I’ll have lots to tell!

On another note, my Book comes out today!!!! This is the first book in the Vegas Magic Series with Loribelle Hunt and Sara Dennis. It’s my first official paranormal. I enjoyed exploring my darker side :) Click here if you want to buy. (Link will be live when book goes on sale!)

Arianna’s a holistic witch who tries to stay out of trouble. But trouble finds her when the Hell’s Ball she’s attending lives up to its name. She meets a cocky vampire who’s creating havoc on her hormones. But he’s also her only hope at getting through the night alive.

Jake’s a casino investigator, working undercover as a bartender on Halloween night. When a sexy, green-eyed witch becomes the targeted victim for a sacrifice ritual, he’ll go to any lengths to save her. Especially when he realizes she may be more to him than just another casual lover.

(Excerpt)

Arianna shut the exit door behind her and sucked in a deep breath of fresh air. Leaning back against the building, she closed her eyes.

Unbelievable. That’s what it was. Absolutely unbelievable what that stupid bartender—vampire bartender, apparently—could reduce her to. A quivering, damn near swooning female

Ugh!

Opening her eyes again, she glanced around to figure out where she was.

Nice, Ari. Could you have picked a darker alley? The alley was thin and long, resting between the casino and another building. She should probably just go back inside, head up to the room. She closed her fingers around the door handle behind her and twisted. It didn’t open.

Uh oh. Her teeth snagged at her bottom lip and she glanced down the length of the alley. Okay, she never considered herself a wuss, but this looked just the tiniest bit freaky.

Even though the night was hot, she shivered and wrapped her arms around her waist.

A vision flashed through her head, so quickly that she barely caught it. She was on her back on the concrete, struggling to free herself as a group of men held her down. The image disappeared, leaving a cool sheen of sweat over her body.

Goddess! She was in danger. The certainty of it hit her hard, and suddenly the light at the end of alley seemed miles away.

Clutching her purse in front of her like a shield, she took a deep breath and then broke into a run. The clicking of her heels resonated through the empty alley.

Cool air rushed up the skin on her back and from the corner of her eye she could see the shadows shifting above her. No!

The five vampires dropped down from the sky in front of her, one by one, placing themselves between her and the end of the alley.

The vampires were large, with glowing red eyes and fangs extended. Their red gazes watched her with a combination of lust and violence.

Her throat dried up, the thump thump of her heart grew louder and faster. She clutched her purse to her chest, her fingers trembling as she began to recite a spell of protection in her head.

Sweet Goddess. These were not nice vampires. They weren’t harmless like the bartender had been. Her stomach twisted. Jake. She closed her eyes for a moment and attempted to send him a telepathic message. Jake, please help me!
