Welcome
to Craving Erotic Romance Blogspot.
Today
we’re presenting Author: Rose Wulf!
1) Have you always wanted to be an
author? Yes! Literally for as long as I can
remember I’ve been dreaming about becoming a published author. And writing, of
course!
2) What genre(s) do you write? I’m a romance girl, so everything I write is romance. But
the sub-genre switches occasionally! Right now I mostly write paranormal, as
that’s my favorite, but I’ve got a contemporary release coming soon, too. And
something more sci-fi/fantastical in the works!
3) Have you ever self published? No.
Self-publishing scares me! But I’m not truly opposed to it, it just feels like
an option to keep on reserve.
4) Who or what inspired you to
write your first book? My first book… well, the
first one I had published was inspired by an open submissions anthology call.
It was a short contemporary story that was eventually released as a
single-title ebook. The inspiration itself just sort of hit me upside the head
after I read the info for the anthology!
5) How many hours in a day might
you write? That depends on whether it’s a
‘good’ day or a ‘bad’ day, but if I had to pick an overall average I would say
three.
6) Are you a plotter or a pantser? Heh,
for some reason I love the word ‘pantser’. But I’m somewhere in the middle. I
plot enough to know my aim and my foundation, but there’s definitely some
‘pantsing’ along the way!
7) Do
you ever find yourself slipping away and becoming so immersed in your story it affects how you relate to others?
Noooo? I don’t know! I’ve never noticed! But there
are definitely times I’m on such a role with my writing that I can’t bring
myself to be sociable!
8) Are you in any of your books? Nope.
Pieces of me, absolutely. Pieces of my past, etc. But I stay out of my
characters as much as I can so that they don’t all feel the same!
9) What do your friends and family
have to say about you writing? My close friends
and family are very supportive! They understand how important my writing is to
me and encourage me every step of the way.
10) Please
share an excerpt from your book that totally spoke to you when you put the
words down on paper.
From: Black Dawn (Dark Light 1
“But
how do you know he isn’t interested?” Letty pushed.
“Couldn’t
your father release him from the bond?” Britt asked.
Izzy
smiled a bit and shook her head. “Why would he be? I’m the face of his
servitude, essentially. I’m amazed he doesn’t hate me—or he hides it insanely
well. And no, a Life Bond is a permanent thing. Breakable only by someone’s
death.”
“Like
yours?”
All
three jumped at the unfamiliar male voice coming from the back of the cabin. A
male figure stepped into the yellow globe light, the sneer on his lips assuring
Izzy he wasn’t there to make friends.
“How
did you get in here?” Britt demanded, pushing to her feet.
“Britt,”
Izzy called as she and Letty stood as well. Clearly Britt wasn’t attuned to
identifying demons like Izzy was.
“The
usual way,” the demon returned. He switched his sneering gaze to Izzy and
added, “I don’t suppose you’re interested in releasing Darr from the ties that
bind?”
Izzy
swallowed. “If you kill me he’ll die, too.”
“Supposedly.”
The demon rushed her without warning, knocking her off her feet and sending her
friends diving out of the way.
Izzy
crashed over the futon and into a wall, her body aching from the impact. And
he’d only hit her with his hand. If he summoned a dark energy wave for her
she’d be a goner.
“Darr.”
Sometime
in the first couple of years, Darr had taught her a short, wordless spell she
could use to call for him when he wasn’t already beside her. He said it sent a
jolt through him, alerting his senses to her situation and pulling him to her
practically without his consent. She hated using it, but she couldn’t let this
demon kill her. And he’d surely go for her friends next if he succeeded in
killing her. She couldn’t let that happen, either.
“Get
up,” the demon commanded. An invisible hand wrapped around her throat and
hauled her mercilessly off the floor. She could barely dig her bare toes into
the wood floor. The demon smirked and cocked his head. “Little Izzy Duchane,”
he taunted, rolling his extended wrist slightly. The force holding her throat
rolled to match, straining the side of her neck. “Goodby—”
A
strong arm locked around the demon’s own throat and threw him bodily backward.
The demon rolled several times before his spine met with a wrought iron
bedpost.
Darr
stalked up to him, his shoulders visibly tight beneath his shirt, fists
clenched at his sides. “You dare,” he growled, his deep voice full of venom and
promises of pain.
“W-wait!”
the demon begged, pushing to his knees and struggling to stand.
Darr
yanked him to his feet and locked a hand around his neck. Izzy couldn’t hear
what he said next, but she didn’t need to. A cold chill swept through the room,
the overhead lights flickered, and the demon let out a gurgled scream Izzy
could barely hear. Darr released the corpse a moment before it was consumed in black
hellfire.
The
chill faded. The lighting stabilized.
Izzy
pushed herself to her knees, realizing her ankle had twisted when her
attacker’s concentration had snapped and she’d fallen. But that was the least
of her pains. She’d crashed into a metal bar and tumbled into a solid wooden
wall, cracking her head and at least one of her shoulders. He made it…
“Izzy,”
Darr called gently, dropping to a knee in front of her as his hands landed on
her shoulders. His touch was feather light as he discerned her injuries. “I’m
sorry.”
The
guilt that choked his voice squeezed her heart.
“I’m
okay,” she insisted. “Just some new bruises. No bikini for me tomorrow.”
Darr
frowned deeply. He clearly wasn’t appreciative of her attempted humor. “I’m
going to pick you up,” he warned. A heartbeat after she nodded her
understanding, he’d swept her into his arms. The movement sent some new jolts
of pain through her, but being settled and cradled against his strong, broad
chest countered that pain with encompassing warmth.
11) Which actor/character(s) would play the starring role? (you can attach
pics for me to insert or just type names here) I’ve
discovered a new actress named Jane Levy who is almost exactly the way I
pictured Izzy! As for the male, I found a great image, but no name!
