Exclusive Excerpt of "A Last Goodbye"




Here's an exclusive sneak peak at my paranormal erotica story, "A Last Goodbye" which appears in Like That Spark.

I could not believe my eyes. Jeff was with that dead bitch.

Okay, I suppose the correct term is undead since she is a vampire. But I preferred dead bitch. The blood sucking leech had been a real pain in my neck for awhile now. She was always trying to control my life, tell me what to do…and she really seemed to enjoy pushing my buttons and getting me all fired up.

But this? This was beneath even her, or so I thought before I showed up to Dante’s soirée to find her draped all over my boyfriend…er…uhm, I guess technically he’s my ex-boyfriend since I broke up with him a couple days ago. It was for his own good.

See here’s the thing; I recently discovered my family has magical roots. How did I discover that? Well, I had one intense humdinger of an orgasm and…almost burned down my house, well not almost, I scorched it pretty good. It wasn’t a total loss but it is no longer livable.

I came into my powers pretty late so no one ever bothered to tell me I might be a witch. Then after getting all hot and fiery that one night two women show up at my door (well, technically my mom’s door since I had burnt my place up pretty bad) a couple days later to tell me they were my trainers.

One was Camille, my mother’s best friend (yes, both Camille and my mom are witches, would have been nice if someone could have told me sooner and prepared me for such craziness) and the other was Deirdre, the blood sucking leech of a drop dead gorgeous vampire… bitch…currently running her fingers through my boy…through Jeff’s dark, silky hair.

Anyway for the past couple months Camille and Deirdre have been training me, showing me how to channel and control my magic and use the energy in positive ways. You know ways that don’t involve burning down houses.

I broke up with Jeff because he is human and from what I was learning that meant he was going to end up getting hurt in my world. A world I still didn’t know much about except that it was dangerous. Yeah, so dangerous that the boobalicious bitch Deirdre could drag him to this soirée and fondle him in public. Oh my god, was his hand on her ass?

This was crap. I gave him up to keep him out of this magical world, not pull him in and get him killed or something. From what I understood over half of the people at this party weren’t really people, they were Others. Like witches, vampires, demons, and…well I wasn’t quite sure what else. Maybe a fairy or two.

Night Owl Reviews Magazine

Did you know that I write a monthly column in the new Night Owl Reviews Magazine?

It's about what's new in Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy books. Mostly it's a listing of some of the hottest books coming out for the month but now I have decided tyo spice it up a bit and add a new feature to my column called SQAI- Super Quick Author Interviews. I'll be asking authors quick answer questions like "Please sum up your book in two sentences or less" and "describe your heroine in three words".


If any authors would like to take part in an SQAI please email me and I'll send you a list of questions: eroticroxanne @ yahoo. com


Readers, do you have any ideas for quick interview questions you would like to see authors answer? If so please post them in the comments or email them my way.

I am creating a list that authors will be able to choose from. I hope to get quite a few,that way authors will have some fun choices for the SQAI's.

I actually got my start reviewing books with Night Owl. I had done a few independant reviews here and there then really got into the reviewing with NOR. I still review for them now and then and I have been interviewed by Tammie at NOR and I advertise their frequently. It is really a great site for books and authors.

If you are looking for a great place to promote your book- this group of sites is it and the new magazine is just getting started- but as it grows you can get your place in it. Authors besure to contact me with your PNR and UF news along with your wish to particpate in a SQAI.

It has expanded from just romance reviews to a whole collection of review sites: romance, sci-fi, YA and more.

Here's a list of them:
