Today I would like
you to meet my friend, Eleri Stone. Eleri writes wonderful paranormal and fantasy
romances for Carina. She’s just released her first erotic romance. Honestly, I
love her writing. She truly has a wonderful way with words. Take it away, Eleri…
Thank you Kylie for
inviting me to stop by today!
I met Kylie on Six
Sentence Sunday, an open invitation writers hop where you post six sentences
from any of your published or unpublished works and then roam around the
internet checking out everyone’s stuff. It’s great fun. You get to be voyeur
and exhibitionist all at the same time, and I’ve met so many wonderful people
there.
Kylie was writing
about zombies so of course I had to
stop by every week. I like speculative fiction with a dose of horror and I might
also have a teensy little bit of an obsession with Daryl Dixon on The Walking
Dead. So zombie apocalypse + hot romance and I was hooked. I loved Flesh and I’m very much looking forward
to Skin. Really, I’ll read whatever
else Kylie happens to write because I love her voice.
My new release is a
far cry from zombies. Threads of Desire
is a secondary world fantasy with a steamy romance at its heart. It’s set in
the relatively peaceful Sarian Empire whose borders have been stable for
centuries. Because of that, mages use their gifts in craft and trade rather
than in warfare. You might call it more of a domestic fantasy rather than an
epic one. Ily, the mage in Threads of
Desire has a gift for weaving but she’s been outcast from the guild and is
living on the streets trying to earn enough money to escape the capital city.
When an opportunity to start a new life arises in the form of an arrogant but attractive
aristo, she takes it. Ily thinks that Kal is only looking for a bit of fun. Kal
has actually been pursuing Ily for a very different reason, but he needs to be
sure of her character before he can reveal his true purpose. Two very different
people thrown together because they need each other and finding love where they
least expect it. If you participate in Six Sentence Sunday you might already
have stumbled across a few of the snippets.
The official Six
Sentence Sunday site is closing down this week and I’m so very sad to see it
go. I’ve made a lot of new friends there but it’s also become one of my favorite
places to discover new authors. Some of the participants plan to continue with
the tradition, either through the twitter hashtag #SixSunday or a new link
list. I really hope it works out! And I hope to see you there.
Where’s your favorite
place to discover new authors and books?
Guild-trained weaver Ily is furious her rival
Kal, a smug yet wickedly sexy rug merchant, outsells her at every turn. She
knows her magically crafted rugs are far superior to anything he can produce,
but can’t compete with his charming personality.
When
Kal fixes his lusty attentions on Ily, she is reluctantly aroused by his
interest. She knows he desires her and against her better judgment, she wants
him too. A chance encounter leads her to make him a scandalous offer: her body
in exchange for enough money to leave the city. She sees their time together as
a temporary erotic adventure…until Kal reveals that what he truly wants from
Ily is more personal—and more dangerous—than bed play. And she must choose
between taking her chance at a new life or risking it all for a man she never
meant to love.
