Where Awesome Book Readers Meet Awesome Writers

  1. A good friend tries to get your attention or comfort you — but it just ends up driving you nuts. It’s not them, though. Your energy is just out of sync, and you need to back off for a day or so.

    Baphomeis bookAbout A good friend tries to get your attention or comfort you — but it just ends up driving you nuts. It’s not them, though. Your energy is just out of sync, and you need to back off for a day or so.:

    The mere fact you’re reading this means that it has all gone wrong and I’m probably dead so excuse all the blood.

    This is a love story; my love story. Girl meets boy, she starts up a Norwegian black metal group, they have satanic orgies, everyone tries to murder them, people die and churches get burned. It’s just what you’d expect of a black metal love story. It’s going to be loud, outlandish and gruesome.

    Author Bio:
    My early work (eight-years-old) would be called fan fiction today. I began by writing my version of Bobbsey Twins novels on legal pads that my dad brought home from the office. As an only child – in the days before children became little electronic receivers – there was often not much to do other than seek amusement in my own head.

    Childhood fantasies involved being the only girl (for some odd reason) at a ranch for wayward boys. Yes. I do realize this sounds vaguely familiar. Those fantasies were supported by real life events because the boys included me in the afternoon neighborhood games whether it was cowboy/Indians or G.I. Joe.

    When I left the Bobbsey Twins behind I didn’t write again until I was married with children and in my mid-twenties. I completed a paranormal romance and gave it to my spouse to read. After hearing his criticisms I didn’t write again for decades. At the time I didn’t understand that he’s the absolute farthest thing from my audience.

    It turned out to be a blessing because during that time that I didn’t write, I lived an extremely full life. I traveled a lot, raised a family, got an education (I have an M.A. in Psychology.) and explored my compulsion to be a spiritual seeker. The fantasies were a constant companion throughout. The faces and names of the characters changed as I matured, but they remained a source of comfort. They helped me through hell-raising teenagers and three near-death scares.

    By the time I started writing again, I had something to say.

    I write cross-genre with uniquely fresh perspectives on paranormal creatures, characters, and themes. Add a dash of scifi and a flourish of fantasy to enough humor to make you laugh out loud and enough steam to make you squirm in your chair. My heroines are independent femmes with flaws and minds of their own whether they are aliens, witches, demonologists, psychics, or past life therapists. My heroes are hot and hunky, but they also have brains, character, and good manners – usually – whether they be elves, demons, berserkers, werewolves, or vampires.

    My first book, My Familiar Stranger, was nominated for Best Paranormal Romance of by both Reviewers’ Choice and Readers’ Choice Awards. All of my books have opened on the Amazon Best Sellers list and earned Night Owl Reviews TOP PICK awards.

    My work has been compared to J R Ward, Karen Marie Moning, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Lara Adrian.

    If you’re interested in me personally, I am also a classically trained musician who defected to Classic Rock.

    This is Roadhouse, the very best in Classic Rock, taken near The Last Concert Cafe, Houston Texas, 2011. I’m the utility player which means I play rhythm guitar, keyboards, sing back ups and a few leads.

    I have authored and illustrated Seasons of the Witch calendars and planners for fifteen years and teach magickal arts for Seasons in Avalon. I live in The Woodlands, Texas which is why I sometimes joke about being the witch in the woods. Married. Four children. One very smart, mostly black German Shepherd dog.

    Stranger In The House is a novella length story.

    Author Bio:
    Chris Vaughn grew up listening to his parents, especially his Mother, and others tell the fun, wild stories of childhood, life, and ghosts that held your imagination. The great story tellers are some what an artist, though theirs was a verbal tradition. Chris still loves reading, and hearing a good story but prefers to tell them, and now write them.

    Chris wants to keep that gift going forward in writing. The stories he heard as a child made it so you couldn’t sleep, which was either from laughter, excitement, or fear! He hopes his stories do the same for you.

    He has been a Speaker, Minister, Talk Radio Host, Comedian, and even once ran for public office. He grew up in the South, where the pace of life is slower than he could tolerate and currently lives in Atlanta, GA with his wife, three children, Buddy the Wonder Dog, and Squeaker the Silent Cat.
