Kayden Claremont Interview #2
Thanks for hosting me on your blog today.
Tell us
a little about your new book.
Hell’s
Bounty is the first book in my Heaven and Hell series. It is a
paranormal erotic novella, and it’s published by The Wild Rose Press.
Marcus Dionysius, a Nephilim working for Heaven, has one
mission – to prevent Hell’s beauty from stealing souls meant for the higher
plane. But he soon realizes he’s met his sexual match in Raven Hart, a succubus
bounty hunter on a hunt.
I was in New Hampshire looking at wedding venues for my
daughter’s wedding. I was dog tired after flying in and we had to get up really
early to start our quest. Before I joined everyone for breakfast I checked my
emails. I was scanning one and read “please sign and return to us.” I really
didn’t understand what was going on so reread the email. It took a few minutes
for the fact The Wild Rose Press had just offered me a contract just to sink
in. I joined the others for breakfast and my daughter asked me what was wrong.
I whispered I had a contact but decided to keep it quiet for the rest of the
day.
That night we were celebrating the venue and y book contact
at the same time.
What is
your favorite time of the day for writing?
I write when the characters talk to me. A regularly get up
in the middle of the night and write to 6 am. Some mornings I hand my husband
his coffee as I’m going back to bed. Then I get up again between nine and ten
and get ready for work and leave. I don’t recommend this but it works for me.
What is
your favorite food to cook or eat?
Sweets. I’m gluten free so I have to be very careful with
bread, cookies, cakes and pies but I love them. I’m always on the hunt for
great gluten free recipes. However, I can still eat chocolate so live is good.
List of
few of your favorite things?
Music, jazz and blues are my favorite. Chocolate anything,
sitting by water it relaxes me., and great stories I can get lost in.
Excerpt.
Raven looked over at him.
“Marcus, this is the coroner, Doctor Hill. Doc, this is my new partner,
Detective Marcus Dionysius.”
Marcus extended his hand to the
doctor, but he just paced back and forth, ignoring the proffered handshake.
“Oh, my dear, you shouldn’t see this.”
“Doc, I’m a detective. There
isn’t much I haven’t seen.” Raven’s no-nonsense tone had no effect on the
doctor. “No, dear, not this time.” He took her by the elbow and led her a few
feet away from the body. Shaking his head, he continued, “This time it’s too
personal. You don’t need to see this.” He pointed at the body on the ground.
“It’s Stephen, my dear.”
Marcus watched shock flash
across her face for a moment before she got control again. She wasn’t expecting
to see her late partner. She hadn’t done this, but that didn’t clear her of the
other attacks.
The captain was sleazy.
Everyone in heaven and hell knew it. And everyone thought that because Raven
worked so closely with him, she was part of his plan. Marcus hoped the sexy
succubus wasn’t connected with hell’s mess. He moved closer to the body.
Doctor Hill glanced at him and
stopped talking.
Clearing his throat, Marcus
said softly to Raven, “I’ll handle this if you’re not up to it. The captain can
assign another detective to work the case with me.”
Raven looked up at him, anger
flaring in her eyes as she answered, “What do you think I am? Some fragile
female who can’t do her job?”
