Immortal Legacies: Author Interview with Lulu M. Sylvian

Immortal Legacies A Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy Vampire Anthology

Mist Chances by Lulu M. Sylvian

It all started with a party. It uncovered a secret. It ended a curse. 

Willa doesn’t like driving through the fog, even if there is promise of an epic party at the end of it. What she finds is a mysterious castle and a gut feeling that things just aren’t right.

She’s in the wrong place at the wrong time, and ends up as the igniting spark of a battle between vampires. With the help of the Red Knight and the angel in white she escapes with her life and her memories.

But she’s the only person who remembers anything. Even the castle is gone. That doesn’t stop Willa. She is determined to uncover the secret she knows is lurking on the other side of the mist, and find the two men she cannot live without. 

This tale is the bastard love child of the Lotus Eaters and Brigadoon blended with true crime-cold cases and vampires.

Interview with Lulu M. Sylvian

Bio-engineered to be the only redhead in a generation of blonds, Lulu feels that “aliens” may actually be the best answer for a lifetime of being asked, “Where did you get that red hair from?” Lulu cannot ride a horse, hula hoop, or play roller derby, but she can make pictures. Encouraged to make those pictures out of words Lulu began writing just to see what would happen, and words happened, so many words. She writes sexy hot paranormal and ridiculous contemporary romances. She embraces the crazy that comes with that one little genetic mutation, and attempts to live up to the reputation of being a redhead.

Q: How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing? 

I've had movies in my head my entire life. I never thought I would find a way to get them out. During a lull in my employment, I decided to see if I could get the movie out of my head and onto paper. That was in 2014. I honestly never expected to be a writer. 

Q: What currently compels you to write? 

Sometimes I think it's just to get my characters to be happy. They can become quite distracting. Other times it's my creative outlet. I'm always creating, be it crafty time, or sewing, or writing. 

Q: Where do your characters come from? 

They burst into the scene, demand my attention, and then make themselves comfortable until I tell their story.

Q: Who is a favorite character that you've written? 

My two favorites are Dante and Gage. They are from different series Legaum and Wolves of Wet Waterfalls. Both are wolves. Dante is a wolf-shifter (can change at will), Gage is a werewolf (he has to change with the moon), but they are different as can be. Dante is a bit of a wild child, libertine, while Gage is Mr. Responcibility, man-in-a-uniform. It could be that they both have curly dark hair. 

Q: What’s the one question you always like when people ask authors?  

I'm a sucker for the character questions. Mine sometimes feel real enough to be tangible. or at least a very good version of an imaginary friend. 

Q: What’s coming next for your readers? 

It's the winter holiday season, and for my readers that means Christmas Strippers! This year I've collected all the shorts from the past few years and packed them into a new collection along with the older release, Unwrapped, and a never before published short. This year's collection is called 10 Things I Hate About Yule.

Excerpt from Mist Chances

“You’re kidding me?” she laughed. “You want to run away because two hotties are interested in you? You should be throwing yourself at them. Come on Willa. This is ridiculous. It’s a party, relax.”  Relax? Relax? She needed to look around this place. Something was seriously off, in a human trafficking kind of way, in a ‘we will never see our parents again’ kind of way, off. We did not belong at exclusive parties. I did not get hit on by the walking gorgeous. I cast my gaze around nervously trying to find an example I could show her that couldn’t be possibly right.  I wanted to show her the bartender, with their ethereal beauty, and I wanted to show her all the people around us dancing and having a good time. And maybe she was right. Maybe I was overreacting. But I couldn’t relax. I couldn’t enjoy myself.  I turned around and I saw my Red Knight and Angel stalking toward me. I should have been thrilled but I was relatively terrified. Why were these two men so interested in me?  “My little lamb? I thought we had lost you,” the Red Knight purred. How could he be so seductive while all he did was stand there and look and smell good? And his voice, what was that accent?  Ellie grabbed my arm. “Is this what you were so afraid of? Oh my God. Go get it girl.” She shoved me in the back and pushed me straight into the Red Knight’s arms.  “Now this is more like it,” he said. “I appreciate your, what you call it, wingman’s enthusiasm.”

 Accidentally Forever

by

Gina Kincade
@ginakincade

Blurb:

Caitlin never thought running away from her past would bring her tumbling head over heels into her future.

A rare survivor of a werewolf attack, she spends an unforgettable week with the town's Doctor and his nurse while she heals from her wounds.

Doc Nick is the local pack's Alpha. Axel is Nick's beta, his protege, his housemate, and his best friend. Their lives have intertwined in what seems like destiny's future for the last ten years.  When the two fall hard for the new little hellcat in town, will letting her go be the one thing they can't live with?

The blood test results are in and a surprise is in store for Caitlin that may just throw her plans right out the window. Can she overcome the changes to her planned future, or will her world be rocked on its axis in a way she could never dream of?

Excerpt:

Despite her burning thirst, Caitlin struggled her way to a seated position. Fighting the light-headedness and nausea, she attempted to swing her legs to the side of the bed. A sharp pain in her thigh tore a strangled cry from her throat and the black lump suddenly moved. She truly didn't want to stick around and find out if the blob were her assailant or her savior, and gulping back the sob, determined to escape, she grasped the tube running to the IV in her hand and gave a hard yank, pulling the needle all the way out in a smooth glide as blood welled at the site.

She slid to the side of the bed and placed her feet flat on the floor, standing and testing her weight on the injured leg. Thinking she'd manage, she glanced toward the still sleeping form and panting hard against the burn through her leg she turned toward the door. One. Two. Three steps forward and then strong arms gripped her from behind and yanked her back just as all strength faded and her knees buckled.

"Hey, little lady, just where do you think you're going?" a gravelly voice teased her ear.

"Let me go!" she struggled, kicking her good leg backward and connecting with the solid leg of her captor, smiling inwardly as an 'omph,' escaped from his lips with a brush of warm breath.

"Calm down! You're safe," the man nearly growled, his arm pulling her tighter to the heat of his chest. A heat she remembered from the forest.

Safe. She was safe. All the fight left her suddenly and she drooped in his arms, her energy depleted.

"There now, that's better."

She felt his arm snake behind her legs and then she was lifted against that strong, masculine warmth once again and a feeling of relaxation overwhelmed her as she drew in his scent. Musky and spicy, with a hint of wet dog. Normally the wet dog smell would have her retching, but on him it seemed right, calming. Giving in to the calmness she felt washing over her, she relaxed as he tucked her back into the bed, tsking at the fact that her needle now dripped fluid onto the floor.

"Thirsty," she gasped, trying once again to lick her dry lips.

"If you promise to be a good girl and stay there, I'll get you some water." He flashed a stern look in her direction.

She nodded, feeling oddly contrite at the thought that she had upset this man. She watched him closely as he crossed the room, his movements lithe and smooth, the flex of his back muscles as he lifted the water flask and poured clear liquid into a blue plastic cup. She admired his broad shoulders as his midnight-black hair brushed the tips of his shoulder blades. Following downward, she visually caressed his tapered waist and the jean-clad tight ass that lead his long legs down into black-skinned cowboy boots. Cowboy boots? In the snow? In a hospital? Weird. She dropped her gaze as he turned around, looking at him shyly from beneath her lashes.

"Here you go, sweetness," the burly man drawled out, his voice low, almost sensual.

"Thank you." She accepted the water gratefully, placing the straw in her mouth. She drew a long sip of the icy cool wetness, luxuriating in the feel of it sliding down her parched, raw throat.

"Not too much, now," he chastised, leaning over to slip the cup from her grasp. "You'll make yourself sick, and until Nick comes in to check your wounds, I'm on duty. Nothing is gonna happen to you on my watch." The firm set of his jaw made her smile at its sternness.

"Nick?"

"My partner here at the clinic."

"So it is a medical facility, then." She visibly relaxed, leaning her head back into the pillows, feeling more at ease and suddenly overcome by fatigue.

"Erm...in a manner of sorts, yes."

Too tired to question the odd response, she let her eyes drift shut, her lashes brushing her cheeks as she yawned. "Sleepy," she mumbled.

Brushing her curly dark locks away from her dirt-smudged forehead, he crooned, "No doubt. You've had quite a day, I'm sure. You rest, I'll be here."

Caitlin dozed to the feel of his hand caressing her hair, her cheek, the side of her neck, his fingers whispering over the shell of her ear.

"Sleep well, little one." She heard him breathe huskily over his prisoner as the darkness claimed her.

“What I mean is—” He stepped closer, running his hand down her bare arm.

Sunshine and summer heat didn’t prevent goosebumps breaking out over her skin. He stood close enough that if either of them inhaled deeply their chests would touch.

“You’ll be around for while.”

Her breath caught and she licked her lips.

Lucius mirrored her and bent slightly. For a second, she thought he’d kiss her and she closed her eyes both to imagine that and encourage him to do it.

“Because—” Her eyes popped open and she held back disappointment, only just. “There’s a mid-summer festival on the twenty second. Everyone will be there and you should come, too.”

“With you?” Had she said that or just thought it?

“If you’d like.” His hands played with her fingers and scarf caught between them. “What do I owe you?” He pulled the cloth free, letting it flutter toward the counter.

Rev gave herself a shake and rounded the counter to open the classic register. It couldn’t do more than hold cash, but it fit the shop too well to replace. She also pulled out an IPad and found the scarves in the inventory Dad had helped build for Grandma. She changed the stock quantity from eleven to a ten and looked at the price.

“Twenty dollars. Tax included. Do you have cash?” she asked, her finger hovering over the button to release the drawer.

“Yep.” Lucius passed over a twenty as well as a card with his phone number. “Let me know if you want a tour of Littleton, or, y’know, something else.” His grin was like the sun, bright and warm, blinding and melting. In an attempt to save herself from one or both, she forced herself to look at the scarf and folded it, placing it in a box.

Eventually, she had to meet his eyes again; eyes as sultry as the July day. He wouldn’t have to do much to charm her out of her panties—Pants! Her pants. Heat flaring in her cheeks, she broke eye contact. “Yeah. I’ll call you.”

“Thanks.”

Oddly enraptured by this stranger’s pull on her, she watching him, his strong back, tight bottom, as he sauntered his way back out the glass door with a resounding tinkle of the chimes.

Rev watched through the door as Lucius encountered another man of similar age and coloring outside the store. He even had the same tattoos on his arms. Both men were on their toes, leaning forward and Lucius clenched his empty hand into a fist.

The other man turned from Lucius to look through the glass straight at her and Rev froze in place. He had brown eyes, too, but dark, deep and cold. Dark hair cut short, this man had more curls than Lucius and his jaw was darker, shadows of stubble beneath his nose and mouth.

Looking back to Lucius, he shook a finger at him, said one last thing, and walked away. Lucius’ smile was gone, his brow furrowed as he turned and headed in the other direction.

Rev spent the next hour playing Candy Crush and trying to decide if the two were family or not. Her game was interrupted by another call from Grandma.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in surgery?”

“Aren’t you supposed to mind your elders? You’re already in the pot from that last call. You’re only turning up the heat. Now, who came in and what did they buy?”

Rev’s sigh would be clear to her Grandmother. “A guy, Lucius. He came to get a birthday present for his mom. He took one of the scarves.”

“Lucius? Lucius Clearwater? Young thing, big smile?”

“Um, yes. He’s my age.”

“Good Lord, is he eighteen already? Yes, yes, I’m nearly done. You can wheel me out in a minute.”

“Grandma! Get off the phone!”

“Fine. But, Rev, Lacy Clearwater’s birthday is in October.”

“Really? Does Lucius have a brother?”

The phone disconnected but not before Rev heard the nurse trying to take it away. She almost pitied the woman.

How would she find out who the other man was? The card with Lucius’ number was still on the counter. She had a good idea why he’d be buying a gift in July for a birthday in October. She was flattered and interested in getting to know Lucius better.

“Clearwater…” After searching online for Lucius Clearwater and finding beautiful, hilarious, and adorable photos as old as five years, she was pretty sure he was a hometown guy who loved his family.

Dark Eyes, for lack of a better name, showed up in several of the family photos, but he was untagged, giving her no indication of their relation or his name.

In any case, she would be calling Lucius. Spending the night alone at Grandma’s wasn’t exactly grabbing her imagination.

What readers have said about Coming In Hot:

"I never expected was to be so incredibly affected... that's not right... more like touched to the depths of my soul, CONSUMED by these stories! I mean, every single one I read had me in tears! Happy tears. Sad tears. ABSO-BAWLING-LUTELY heartbroken, giant, soul deep tears!! But that isn't a complaint! Oh no!! It is THE. SINGLE. MOST. BIGGEST. COMPLIMENT. I. COULD. EVER. GIVE. I was blown away by just how deeply I was ensconced in these stories, and so quickly too!!"

"This collection is a marvelous opportunity to be introduced to the writing styles of authors you might have never read before and who you might be interested in reading more of now, and a new story from an author you’ve read before.

The stories themselves range from the enticing bedside behavior of doctors and nurses to sizzling romantic relationships involving them. There’s a wide variety of characters, ranging from mere medical professional to those who are shapeshifters, werewolves, vampires, and more; sure please readers of other romance genres as well."

"Fantastic story.. some hot sex. but most of it was a great story-line.. lots of action and suspense. some of the stories had some twist to them.. I think there is something for everyone."

"this is one HOT collection of naughty interns, EMTs, nurses and doctors whether they are human or paranormal this is one MUST READ collection. I've discovered many new authors and found a few old favorites.

I could go on and on about the stories within this collection but I won't because I want you to grab your own copy and discover new authors and maybe some old favorites for yourself."

"Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! Somebody call 911...Stat! I love, love, love Coming In Hot! I'm so darn excited about this collection, I can hardly stand it! I don't even know where to begin! Anyone having read my reviews in the past probably already knows how passionate I am about box sets. I LOVE them! They're not only a great bargain but I also get to sample new authors without breaking the bank. But this collection is hands down, one of the best, if not the best, I've ever purchased."
