Paranormal Erotic Romance Author Shiloh Darke Interviewed By Gina Kincade On Naughty Nights Press Blog

Shiloh Darke joins us on the Naughty Nights Press blog today to chat with Ms. Gina Kincade.

Ms. Darke will share with readers and followers a little about her naughty self and where to find her newest release "The Form Of Eternity", Book Three in The Order Of The Eternals Series and what it is all about!




Hi Shiloh! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to host an interview with you on Naughty Nights Press!It is so awesome to have you here!

1. Can you share a few “tid bits” about your self?

Oh where to start? I’m a happily married mother of two and my eldest is about to have a baby, so I am adapting to the idea of having my very first grandchild. What is a typical day like for you? I’m not sure I have what anyone would consider a typical day. I work in the nursing field (on the NIGHT SHIFT!). My family blames my love of vampires on the fact that I keep similar hours!

2. What “pet peeves” do you have if any?

Pet peeves . . . I am actually a pretty laid back, easy going person. I try not to judge people. I guess that is my biggest dislike. I don’t believe in people being hateful or judgemental to each other. It isn’t our place to judge. Live and let live. (my motto)

3. How long have you been writing?

I have always loved to tell stories. Even with the tried and true fairytales everyone knows by heart… I always find myself asking the question, what if??? So, actually the answer is I’ve been writing since I could hold a pen.

4. Do you write exclusively paranormal romance?

I have two writing personalities. Shiloh Darke writes Paranormal Erotic Romance. I recently finished a novel by the name of Awareness under my alternate pen name, Meridian Mycheals. Awareness is geared toward younger readers (teen and young adult), but it does also fall under the category of Paranormal. Awareness should be coming out within the next month or so, and is the premiere novel under the new pen name.

5. What inspires your stories?

So many different things inspire me. Life, dreams, fantasies, ideas . . . Sometimes, I may watch a movie and somewhere in the corner of my mind, I think, “Wow! What if this other thing happened instead of what actually did? That thought will end up sending me into a spinoff of various outcomes!

6. What was your goal for yourself as a writer when you started?

I just like to tell stories. I love to hear back from the people who read them. It makes my day when someone says, “I really loved that book! I had to read it again.

Did you meet or surpass it or did it change for you along the way?

It became an all-consuming thing for me! I’m always thrilled with how far I’ve gotten with my stories. I didn’t have any long term expectations. Truthfully, I never thought I would have the willpower to actually sit down long enough to write whole chapters at a time. I have severe A.D.D. (No medication, of course! I refuse!) I never can just write one story at a time! I always have two or three in the works.

7. How did you decide to write books in your specific genre?

I have a fascination with Dracula. Not the story of the terrible creature he was, but the deeper, almost untold love story between him and Mina (the one we romantic women find ourselves having fantasies about). He was driven by love and in many ways, even in his death, she was his salvation. Stories like that inspire me.

Was there anything that influenced your choice?

I love otherworldly ideas. To me, there is so much harsh reality in the world; in-your-face, and most of it cruel . . . I like to give my readers a really good fantasy/adventure to lose themselves in and just be able to forget their troubles for a few hours.

8. Do you have a set schedule for writing or do you just go with the flow?

I follow my inspiration. Sometimes, I won’t write all week. Other times, I can’t seem to stop. It just depends, but I always keep my laptop close!

9. Which comes first, the story, the characters or the setting?

It depends. In my Order of Eternals series, as the main story unfolds, there is usually at least one back drama, which is building up to the next book. I develop the characters as I go. The reader starts to become familiar with the next hero and wets their appetite for the next story to come as they delve deeper into the current book.

10. What is your writing process like? How long does it take you to finish a story from beginning to end?

I hate to admit it, but I’m not nearly fast enough! How long it takes me varies. It could probably be faster if I didn’t always have at least two or three ideas going at the same time. But my mind is everywhere and I have so many stories in my brain, I have to dedicate at least a little time to each of them!

11. Is writing your full-time job? If not, how and when do you find time to write?

I would LOVE to be able to dedicate ALL my time to writing. It is my favourite thing. But, no. I have a full time job. Do you really want to know how I schedule myself? LOL… okay… since I work nights, when I get home in the mornings, I see my son off to school, my husband off to work, and I try to dedicate at least two hours to my craft. Then, I usually go to sleep by about 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. Then I get up by about 4 p.m. Since my son doesn’t get home until about 5 p.m., that gives me another hour. After 6, I spend my time with family until I have to go back to the job. And don’t forget, I am a night owl, so I usually get a lot of writing done on my nights off after everyone else goes to bed.

12. Do you have other published works? If so please tell us about them!

Of course! There are two already published books in the Order of Eternals series. The Eternal, and Eternal Moon. Form of Eternity is the third, and just came out in late March.

To tell you about my Eternals… They are men and women who are chosen at some point in their mortal lives to become the protectors of mankind. They are all different. In The Eternal, Shameer is a Vampire.

In Eternal Moon, Darmetheus is a Werewolf. In Form of Eternity, the newest story, Keltan is a Native American Shape-shifter… There are also Eternals who are Wizards, but their stories aren’t ready yet . . .
Then there is my Beauty Stone Beast series. They are short stories about four brothers who are cursed to live as Gargoyles until true love finds them. Three of the four e-books are already available and the fourth should be coming soon. Magic’s Reflection is a stand-alone novel I did just for fun. I have also written a few more short stories. They aren’t anything serious; just short and sweet treats to whet a reader’s appetite.

13. How do we find your work?

Online! The first book in the Order of Eternals series is available in print; go through my publisher’s website. And of course, ALL of my titles are available in e-book format.

14. What do you love most about writing?

It is a wonderful way for me to relieve stress. Thank God, I have a big imagination. If I couldn’t write it down, I would be doomed!

15. Who are your current publishers?

My publisher is Gypsy Shadow Publishing. They are still somewhat new, but they have been going strong for over a year now and the editors really go out of their way to make my work shine! Best editors I have ever had the pleasure of working with! You can find their site at www.gypsyshadow.com

16. What is your latest release and where can we find it?

Form of Eternity was out at the end of March. You can find it at my publisher’s site, www.gypsyshadow.com as well as the Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Bookstrand, Omnilit, AllRomance and Amazon sites… There are more places, but those are the ones I think of first.

17. Where can your readers find you?

Google me! No, but seriously, I’m at writing.com, Facebook and for Meridian Mychaels, Twitter , my page at Gypsy Shadow , My page at Smashwords ,or you can always go to my very own site and drop me a line through my guestbook! Go to www.theorderofeternals.com and check it all out! I also have a link on my author page where you can join my newsletter! While on my site, you can read excerpts from my stories to get a taste of my writing style!


Shiloh, thank you very much for sharing with us here today. I, for one, was not aware you wrote under another pseudonym so that was a shock really. But a good one!

I am sure readers can't wait to find out more about your paranormal YA writing under the name of Meridian Mycheals just as much as they want to know more about your erotic paranormal books!

Hmm, I wonder if Awareness won't be the next book both adults and teens alike fall in love with. Perhaps we are looking at another "Harry Potter" style of thrilling read hmmm!


Thanks so much for having me! I enjoyed it!



Shameer and his brother Colin never wanted to be heroes. Cursed by a witch, Shameer suffers the bloodlust that only vampires know. His brother suffers a similar, yet different fate. Inducted into a collective known to precious few as The Order of Eternals, they try to use their abilities to protect the innocent.

When he happens upon Jessica, Shameer experiences emotions he had long denied himself. Lost in her eyes, he yearns for a fate far different from the one he has accepted. Denying his heart and desires, he vows to walk away from her.

But evil watches from the shadows. It creeps ever nearer, waiting for it's chance to devour and destroy the brothers. Avenging itself on those they love. Soon, they discover themselves fighting not only to find freedom from an old enemy. But also, to hold on to the loves that they have deemed, their destiny. Excerpt


Darmetheus has been alive for a very long time. A Werewolf Eternal, he's seen it all. Or so he thinks. But when he takes what he thinks is going to be a vacation from the daily hassle of fighting EVIL, he winds up in the fight of his life.

Lilith is a sassy, beautiful brunette with a secret talent. A talent that makes her a walking target. She’s more than eye candy to these immortal villains and they’re willing to kill in order to possess her.

But this enemy is no stranger to him and he is torn. The rebel in him wants to just walk away and leave Lilith to her fate. The hero in him won’t let him. Or is that his heart?

Excerpt





About The Author: Shiloh Darke

Shiloh grew up in an average, mid-sized town in West Texas. As a child, she had a very hard time learning to read. Not only did it seem to her to be a waste of time; it was also hard for her to focus on the words. And let's just admit it . . . it was so much more fun to daydream of romantic adventures. As a kid, she was full of them! In fact, she could often spin a better story from the pictures in her storybooks than the authors themselves did.

When she was twelve years old, still reading at a second grade level, her mother fought her illiteracy by giving Shiloh her very first Harlequin romance. It took her a month to read the story, but reading it did the trick and flipped the switch for her. By the end of her fifth grade year, she was reading at a seventh grade level and anxious for the next book she could get.

Soon, Shiloh was reading any and every romantic book (translate that term as mostly romance novels) she could get her hands on. At the age of fifteen, she discovered Bram Stoker, whose work inspired the beginnings of her own written storytelling. She wanted to tell stories of love that surpassed time and broke through the barriers of life and death, but with touches of adventure and paranormal suspense as well.

She began writing short stories and poetry, all haunting tales of love between mortal and immortal souls. At eighteen, she started mapping out her ideas for The Order of Eternals. The result of her meticulous plotting and planning is a staggering list of novels her readers can anticipate with gusto, two of which are currently available in eBook format.

She lives with her own soul mate and her two children, along with their very own zoo (cats and dogs and elephantsCno wait! Scratch the elephants . . . but her daughter does have a python. Did we mention she also loves animals, in addition to reading and writing?). She enjoys reading everything from thrillers to mystery and paranormal romance to Gothic novels, as well as writing her own.

Shiloh loves to hear from her readers. Their responses to her writing are what motivates her to keep telling her stories. You can drop her an email at:

Erotic Paranormal Romance Author Marisa Chenery Interview On Naughty Nights Press Blog Today!! Come And Find Out What It's All About!

Marissa Chenery joins me, Gina Kincade, on the Naughty Nights Press Blog today to tell us a little personal information about herself and her new release "Foreseen Hunger" availible March 2nd from Ellora’s Cave!


Hi Marisa! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to host an interview with you on Naughty Nights Press!


1. Can you share a few “tid bits” about your self? What is a typical day like for you? What “pet peeves” do you have if any?

I live in Ontario, Canada with my husband and four children. I’m stay at home mom as well as a writer. My typical day is making my school runs in the morning, writing after lunch, a school run in the late afternoon and then writing again after dinner. I don’t really have any pet peeves.

2. When did you first realize you wanted to be an author?

I think I was around 17 years old when I first decided I wanted to write.

3. What part of the story do you think is your strength to write?

I think my characters and world building are my strength.

4. Can you please share with us how old you were when you wrote your first story?

I was 17 when I started to write my first book, which I never finished. It wasn’t until I was 29 did I write and finish one. It’s called Lady Knight and is published at Siren Publishing.

5. What was your goal for yourself as a writer when you started? Did you meet or surpass it or did it change for you along the way?

My goal was to see my books published. Plus being a writer was the perfect job for me, allowing me to stay home with my kids. I did meet it when I learned about epublishers and received my first contract back in 2007.

6. How did you decide to write books in your specific genre? Was there anything that influenced your choice?

When I first starting writing I wrote historical romances, because that was what I mostly read at the time. Now I’ve made the switch to paranormal romances, which I mostly read as well.

7. How do you become inspired to write?

It was just something I enjoyed doing. I inherited the writing bug from my father.

8. Do you have a set schedule for writing or do you just go with the flow?

I do have a set schedule. I write once after lunch and once after dinner, both times between an hour and a half to two hours. I try to write around 2,000 words a day.

9. Which comes first, the story, the characters or the setting?

I usually come up with a story idea first, then the setting and finally the characters.

10. What are the elements of a great erotic romance for you?

A great erotic romance has to have great romance along with well written sex scenes. The hotter the better.

11. What are the most challenging and the most rewarding aspects of writing?

The most challenging would be submitting to publishers and then having to wait for an acceptance or a rejection. The rewarding aspect would be hearing from my readers telling me how much they love my books.

12. Can you share a little bit about your current release with us? Where can we find it?

My current release will be out at Ellora’s Cave on March 2nd. It’s the 6th book in my popular Ra’s Chosen vampire series called Foreseen Hunger. You can find it on EC’s website here http://www.jasminejade.com/ps-9127-50-foreseen-hunger.aspx.

13. If you weren't writing, what would you be doing?

I would more than likely still be a full time stay at home mom. I’ve been home with my kids since my first was born.

14. Is there a specific bit of advice you would give to an aspiring author who is looking to publish their work? Traditional or Self-Publishing, which would you suggest?

The best advice I can give is keep writing and not give up. I suggest Traditional, epublishers in particular. This route your book gets fully edited and receives some great cover art.

15. Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers? Where can our readers find you?

Readers can find me at my Websitewww.marisachenery.com

About "Foreseen Hunger"

Book six in the Ra’s Chosen series.

Takan has hidden who he is for three thousand years, but the time for secrecy is coming to an end. He knows it, and more importantly, Ra knows it. To complicate matters, Takan has found his mate. And she means more than happily-ever-after and smokin’ hot sex. She’s the key to the Chosen ending Apep’s threat to the mortal realm. Too bad Takan, and who he is, scares the bejesus out of her.

Falon lost her love years ago to the bite of an undead and has spent her nights hunting the creatures ever since. When she happens upon a man fighting the same fight as she, relief overcomes her. She’s not alone. But when she kisses him and discovers his fangs, she does what any warrior girl would do—she stabs him.

Just as they are coming to terms with their relationship, Ra drops a bomb that changes Takan forever, and Falon discovers her true destiny. The couple must come to terms with their new beginning, while bringing an end to an age-old battle.

An Excerpt From: FORSEEN HUNGER

Copyright © MARISA CHENERY, 2011

All Rights Reserved, Ellora's Cave Publishing, Inc.

“You’ve fought the undead before,” he said in a deep, slightly accented voice.
“The undead? Is that what you call those creatures?”
“Yes. For that is what they are—undead.”
It made sense, since they decomposed so quickly once they were taken out. Remembering what he’d first said about her having fought the creatures before, she pulled herself up straighter. “It’s not the first time I’ve come across undead.”
His intense gaze looked her up and down, causing the ache in her pussy to increase. With him standing so close, she found it a fight not to reach out and see how hard his body was, especially in the area between his legs that seemed to be sporting an interesting bulge.
“The sword,” he said. “How did you know bronze is an undead’s weakness?”
She shrugged. Falon wasn’t about to tell this stranger she’d dreamed of a man’s voice two nights before her first hunt, telling her she needed a bronze sword and where she had to go to get one. And she for damn sure wouldn’t tell him her sword had already been forged, paid for with her name on the sales receipt when she’d gone to the place the voice had sent her.
When he seemed to wait for an answer, she said, “I just knew.”
“You’re very good with a sword.”
“I’ve had lots of practice.”
Silence fell between them when he took another step closer. His gaze seemed to focus harder on her, and Falon felt as if she’d become sucked into it. Unable to pull away, she didn’t move when he reached across them and placed his hand on the left side of her chest, directly over her heart.
He drew in a breath and then said almost reverently, “Falon.”
The sound of him saying her name shot a jolt of arousal through her. Her blood heated even more when an image of him and her naked, their bodies straining against each other as they had sex filled her head. It abruptly disappeared when she gasped sharply.
A few more seconds passed before he lowered his hand and clamped it around her wrist. “You’re the key,” he said.
Falon quickly tried to pull her wits together when he took a couple of steps back, taking her along with him. “What? What key?” When he didn’t answer and continued to drag her along, even though she dug in her heels, she yanked at her arm. “Stop. Where do you think you’re taking me?” she demanded.
“Where I can watch over you.”
She struggled harder. “I don’t think so. I don’t need anyone to watch over me, especially not some strange man I just met.”
He suddenly stopped walking, causing her to almost slam into his back, and turned to face her. “I’m not some strange man. My name is Takan, and you are mine.”
The possessiveness in his voice caused her pussy to clench, but the saner part of her didn’t like what he’d said…at all. Before she could think of a way to get free, Takan yanked her close so she slammed against his chest, released her wrist and buried his hand in her hair at the back of her head. His lips descended, taking hers in a kiss that just about turned her legs to jelly.
Falon didn’t normally get swept away by a man’s kiss, but with Takan it felt as if her world centered on him, all her senses attuned only on the man who held her. The scent of the cologne he wore filled her nose with each breath she took. The feel of his hard body had her resisting the urge to rub up against him. And the way he took her lips, it was no gentle exploratory kiss. It was filled with raw hunger and need, causing her to libido to soar even higher.
She kissed him back, reaching up to put a stranglehold on the front of his t-shirt while she kept the sword in her other hand pointed down at her side. When his tongue swept along the seam of her lips, she opened to allow him entrance. The feel of it twining with hers, stroking and tasting, had her becoming more excited. Pressed as she was against him, Falon felt the unmistakable ridge of his erection nestled along her belly.
A soft moan rose from her. And when Takan sucked her tongue into his mouth, she clutched his shirt tighter. She explored, stroking the roof of his mouth before running her tongue along his teeth. He groaned when she touched a rather pointed tooth. Falon shifted to the other side and found a match. Given how pointed and sharp they felt, the teeth had to be fangs.
Her mind whirling with the thought she actually kissed one of the creatures, the undead she sought to destroy each night, Falon acted as if she was still into his kiss. Slowly, so as not to alert him to what she did, she lifted her sword arm, pulled it back and stabbed the tip into Takan’s stomach. With a grunt of pain, his hold loosened and Falon pushed him away, taking a step back to watch him start to decompose.
But when Takan only pressed his hand against his stomach and it came away red with blood, Falon shook her head. Had she made a terrible mistake? She shook her head again. “How can you be bleeding? You have fangs. I felt them. You have to be one of those creatures, only a type I’ve never seen before.”
“I bleed because I’m not one of the undead. I’m very much alive.”
Falon backed away. “Then what are you? A vampire? You aren’t exactly human. You’re still standing. A normal person would be down for the count after receiving a belly wound.”
“It takes a lot more than this to take me out.” Takan took a few steps toward her, but stopped short when she held her sword in front of her. “It’s all right, Falon. I won’t hurt you.”
He smiled as if to reassure her, flashing the fangs she’d felt while they’d kissed. The horror of the night five years before came rushing back. Inside her head, all she saw was what she’d thought had been a man lunging at her as he tried to bite her with sharp fangs. Even worse was the image of her boyfriend having his neck torn into by the very thing she’d barely managed to escape.
Fighting the fear that threatened to take her over—something she hadn’t allowed to happen since that horrific night—Falon spun on her heel and fled. Without looking behind her to see if Takan followed, she ran as fast as her legs would carry her.

Erotic Author Margie Church Interview on Naughty Nights Press!

Welcome Margie! It is great to have you at Naughty Nights Press.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do an interview with us!


To our followers & fans: Margie will be sharing some personal information about herself with us as well as information about two of her erotic books, Dangerous Love, the second book in her "Love Bites" Series which is already available *squeal* and her new release Love Revisited, the sequel to "WET", available on March 7th! *happy dance*

I know you are all just as excited as I am to read Margie's interview so I shall stop babbling and we can get to it!


1. Tell us a little about yourself.

Thanks for having me, Ladies! Hugs, Gina for having me! Love that shot on your banner. Yeow! I might need a copy for my private collection. *wink*

I am one of those crazy people who's either writing or thinking about writing. I work as a copywriter and editor during the day and write books, fan fiction, and magazine feature articles the rest of the time. I've been a professional writer years and years and I've been writing fiction for four years. I have five romances and a nursery rhyme (surprise!) on the market. I'm married and have two sons. We live in the Midwest where there's tons of snow and I can't imagine living somewhere else right now. I enjoy a good laugh. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or any of the reader's loops, you'll figure out I'm an instigator of many naughty chuckles.

2. When did you realize you wanted to be an author?

I wrote in a fan fiction challenge and took second place. I'd never written anything longer than five or six pages and never fiction. All my work was for commercial publications and advertising. I was extremely intimidated by the 30,000 word challenge but, afterward, I'd cranked out half of an amazing romantic suspense. The Forbidden Love readers *waves to all those amazing EJAMI fans* really loved the story. I thought, "Shoot, maybe I can do something with this." I did. It turned into my debut novel, Awakening Allaire and then a sequel, Avenging Allaire. (Yes, that's the smoking hot Jimmy Thomas on the cover with a gun in his hand.)

3. What is your most & least favorite part of writing?

I'm not crazy about research. It's time-consuming work that's absolutely necessary, but I can spend hours looking for information to validate a sentence or two. I also struggle with finding subject matter experts. Any doctors out there who want to be in my short list of SMEs, raise your hand!

My favorite part of writing is coming up with the plot. I see the story in my head long before I write it. I envision the characters, and hear them speak, and get a strong sense of who they are before I ever write a word. I'm a plotter, not a pantser, so I write down the story arch and I get so excited as I see things unfolding. I can't wait to dive in…as soon as the research is done. Drats.

4. Do you have a ritual to get you ready to write? Something special you do to psyche you up?

I usually go back a couple pages to get my head back in the story. With kids around, I can't hope for quiet, so it's necessary to tune out the world and tune into the characters. Love scenes are a bit different. I tend to think about those quite awhile before I write them. Sometimes I'll be typing with my eyes closed (and hopefully fingers on the right keys) to really get things down.

5. After writing for hours at a time how do you relax?

I was once told by a physical therapist I don't know how to relax and probably never have. (Can you believe I was rushing through a relaxation technique? Yeah…that's me.) But, when I do get away from work, I love music, especially classical music. I go to the opera several times a year and I love concerts. I adore walks at night. The night is peaceful and I prefer the distraction of the moon and the stars to the busy-ness of the day anyway. I also enjoy a good beer with my girlfriends.

6. Where do you write?

I have an office at home.

7. Does your environment have an impact on what or how you write?

Nope. I am very disciplined about writing – usually about 1,000 words a day and I always write in the same place. I have to say that I need more quiet when I'm editing. Getting rid of pesky passive voice and all those other technical requirements take some clever thought. Quiet helps, but it's not always available.

8. What is your opinion of writer's groups? Do you find them helpful? And how did you find yours if you have one?

I belong to a few online and they are helpful. Writing is a solitary business most of the time and there's so much to learn. I asked fellow authors for recommendations about these kinds of groups and lurked in a few until I found a few that suited me. I have beta readers that I choose depending on the book. All these things help me put out a better story!

9. What are some of your pet peeves in life?

I hate stupid questions. I'm blond so I get a free pass some days, but honestly, I hate answering questions that peeps with a little more gumption could figure out themselves. I think elbow grease isn't just for elbows, you know?

10. What is your advice to aspiring writers?

Put your ego in the drawer and put on your big girl panties. There are opportunities to learn and grow at every corner in this business, but it often comes in the form of rejection and difficult conversations with your editors. Suck it up and decide if you want to write the very best books you can or whether you want to insist on doing it your way. Both work, but you'll have different results most times. I also made friends with Sesame Street. When I can't take any more conversations about what I need to do to be a better writer and market myself better, The Count never fails to make me smile. (No wonder I write vampire books, too, right?)

11. What can you tell us about your newest book (e-book) just released or coming out?

The second book in my Love Bites series is Dangerous Love. It was released at Thanksgiving. If you enjoy an erotic vampire story that isn't sparkly or have females begging to be turned into creatures of the night, then these two books should interest you. The stories scamper around the globe and have amazing plots and subplots. There's also not only a fantastic, steamy romance between Wade and Jui, but there's also dark bondage and some gay romance. The reviews have been fantastic and I invite you to check them out at Noble Romance and at Amazon or your favorite eBook retailer. They'll also be coming out in print.


12. Is there anything else you would like to add that we might have missed here today?

The sequel to my contemporary erotic romance, WET, is coming out March 7, from Noble Romance. Look for it if you enjoy hot hetero romances!

I always enjoy meeting new people so I hope you'll check out my books and find me on Facebook and Twitter. I'm usually around and look forward to saying, hey!

"The Witchery Series" trilogy is in ebook NOW! $1.99 each

This is What You've Been Waiting For!


"The Witchery Series" trilogy is in ebook NOW!
$1.99 each

That's right. This popular series has been in paperback since 2007 and is now available in ebook in pdf on Laura Stamps' site and in the Kindle Store. Yay!


"The Witchery Series" is a sexy paranormal romance novel trilogy. In this series you'll meet five wonderful Witches: Savannah, Maylene, Mirabella, Noelle, and Ravena. There's something for everyone in this trilogy. The novels range from empowering (Book 1) to romantic (Book 2) to erotic romance (Book 3). You'll also find real spells, chants, and rituals in each one.


1.) The Witches of Dixie: Book One

Meet the Witches of Dixie! Savannah Monroe's life is sliding toward disaster no matter how hard she works or how many spells she casts. Maylene Whitmire thinks she is disappearing. Mirabella Middleton's successful art career begins to crumble in a flat economy, while Ravena Riley's husband sinks toward the angry depths of a midlife crisis. Four Southern Witches whose lives suddenly turn widdershins as they scramble to understand what's happening. This is a very empowering novel for women. It's also the only novel in this series with no romance or sex.


2.) What Witches Want: Book Two

In the aftermath of an abusive marriage and painful divorce, Savannah Monroe flees from the Blue Ridge Mountains to Columbia, South Carolina, taking refuge in her friendship with fellow Wiccans, Ravena Riley and Mirabella Middleton. All Savannah wants is to lead a quiet life, slowly rebuilding her damaged self-esteem. But nothing seems to be going according to plan. First, a stray kitten appears on her front porch as a messenger of Light. Next, a Rune Witch moves in next door. Suddenly, Savannah's world includes Rune spirits, empaths, psychic vampires, and shapeshifters. Then a flower faery delivers a startling revelation, and romance roars into Savannah's world in the form of a sexy two-natured man. Whew! Life will never be the same again for this Wiccan Faery Witch.


3.) Call of the Witches: Book Three

Maylene Whitmire is a Wiccan Witch plagued with bad-news boyfriends. They flock to her like bees to honey. Each one seems different in the beginning, but they all end up the same. Bad news. And she's fed up. When Artemis, her Patron Goddess, suggests a two-year vow of celibacy, Maylene jumps at the chance. Three months before her celibacy vow ends she runs into Blaine Rutledge, a Wiccan Green Witch and the sweetest, sexiest man she's ever met. Sparks fly, and her libido sizzles. My, oh my! The last few months of her celibacy vow are about to become not only an erotic adventure but also the greatest challenge of her life.

"I picked up THE WITCHES OF DIXIE, settled in for a read, and three hours later I was finished. I had lost track of time and was totally captivated by the characters and the plot of the novel. Shaking my head in disbelief I had to laugh. This is not just another fiction book. This is a novel that actually makes you think and feel. With her way of mixing real life situations with magickal workings it shows clearly Laura Stamps' devotion to her path, characters, and readers." --Mystic Witch
