I'm currently in the middle of edits of book 2, SUCCUBI LIKE IT HOT. Edits are currently eating my brain to the point that I'm not really functioning like a normal person. I just stare at my computer and reword the same sentence over and over again.

I'll be back in a few weeks when edits are turned in. In the meantime, I offer a (very small) snippet from book 1, GENTLEMEN PREFER SUCCUBI:

(Jackie and Zane are in the New City Museum of Art, looking for clues)

“Are you going to be in there long?” From outside of the claustrophobic storage closet, Zane’s voice echoed in the quiet hall. “Or shall I wander off?”

Oh hell no. I didn’t want him wandering off at all. I had to think fast. “Wait,” I called out, cracking the door and sticking my head out to look at him. “Do you know what Nitocris’s cartouche looks like?”

The vampire gave me a blank look. “I beg your pardon?”

“The cartouche?”

An offended look crossed his face. “How dare you ask me about such a thing? She is my queen, not some common slut-”

I blinked hard, and resisted the urge to giggle at the piss and vinegar look on his normally blasé face. “Whoa there, stud. I meant her name. Spelled out in Egyptian hieroglyphs.”

He flicked his cigarette butt on the floor, no doubt to tick me off. “No, I wouldn’t know.”

See you on the other side of edits!
