Sacred Blood Re-released with Romance Unbound Publishing

This vampire tale has just been re-released through Romance Unbound. It's a dark tale of blood and intrigue, set in 19 century Saudi Arabia and the present day.
 

The vampire Yasmine Hilal has been recruited in a deadly hunt for a rogue band of vampires who are killing their own kind. As she embarks on the adventure of a lifetime, Yasmine comes face to face with Englishman David Lawrence, her onetime savior centuries before when she was nothing but a slave girl.

David, never aware of her secret, pining love, is struck with the glamorous beauty and wit of this aloof, modern woman, unaware she is determined to remain impervious to his charms. Yasmine is reluctantly paired with the dashing David as they return to her Middle Eastern home to penetrate the harem of the evil vampire Prince Hasan. Posing as a dispossessed princess to penetrate his secret lair, Yasmine risks her life, trusting in the one man she ever loved to save her.

New Interview on Force Fantasy Blog

Greetings,
For those of you who enjoy a bit of the darker side of erotic fantasy, check out this blog. As some of you know, I do write these dark and dirties from time to time. In fact, I'm working on one right now titled Slave Island. Charlotte Gatto was kind enough to interview me on her site about my writing and my life in general, and I held nothing back! Pop over and see what you think.

HOT OFF THE PRESS! Dream Master-m/f BDSM paranormal

Yes, you read that right. I know it's a departure for me to write something with magical elements, but this story was just too fun to resist. It's more a BDSM erotic romance than anything, but, as much of it takes place in shared dreams, there is certainly a paranormal element. The title is somewhat deceiving, in that you might think you know who the Dream Master is, but things take a dark twist in the dreams, even as romance blossoms in real life.

What's in a Name?

Well, a lot, actually! It's been a while since I checked in at my blog. I just finished Dream Master (releasing soon! I'll keep you posted), and already I'm thinking about my next novel - working title - Slave Island. One stumbling block for me at the beginning of each new project is getting the names right. Names matter! 

Let me tell you what this one is about, and then, if you feel like it, please put in your two cents! It's been a long time since I penned something dark and dangerous - a suspense-filled abduction tale, not for the faint of heart. Slave Island  will be such a story, but the slave traders intent on abducting and bending her to their will are in for a surprise when they nab ......! Our heroine is no wilting flower, but a kickass woman who doesn't know how to give up, even against extraordinary odds.

Lured to what she thinks is an all-expense paid dream vacation at an exclusive resort located on an island in the Caribbean, ...... finds herself imprisoned at a slave training camp, with cruel trainers intent on breaking her down into a compliant, docile slave girl, ready to serve the powerful men who would purchase her for their own.

The book will be a dark and probing exploration into the twisted minds of sadistic trainers out to exploit and control innocent young women. But I'll take it a step further, delving into the dynamics of mind control and forced sexual submission, as well as the tenacity of a determined spitfire of a girl who refuses to yield her dignity and spirit in the face of erotic torture and forced submission. 

So here's where you come in! Fill in those blanks! What should we name this heroine? Something strong and sexy. I was thinking Lexi, Leanna, Lee (don't know why I'm going for L's...) Comment and let me have your ideas. If I choose a name you suggested, you will win a prize!

Thanks! Love, Claire
