Siobhan Muir stops by to talk about HER DEVOTED VAMPIRE

Morgan's Musings is giddy to be able to welcome Siobhan Muir. 

(Author Morgan Kearns, Ruth Lacy, Author Siobhan Muir) 

I met Siobhan last June at Arizona Dreamin' 2011. 

We became fast friends and I just love her! 

She has a new book and I want to introduce both of them to you.

*****

Hello Siobhan, I'm glad you were able to stop by for a few minutes to discuss HER DEVOTED VAMPIRE. I'm really excited to catch up with Frederick and Bridgette. But first, I'd like to talk a little about you.

Do you prefer Cats or Dogs? Cats, definitely cats. The best dogs are the skulls I have around the house. ;) Ha! I'll make sure to keep Gus safely away from your house...lol :) 

Okay, let's talk books. What do you do when you're not writing? I actually do research in the field of paleontology. My specialty is fossil canids (dogs, wolves, foxes, and coyotes) and I often spend some time identifying the teeth for other paleontologists (see why I like dead dogs?). ;) Very cool! And yes, I understand now. No offense, but I'm going to still keep an eye on you around Gus. *wink* 

When did you write your first story? I wrote my first story in 6^th grade for a teacher who said we could make a book. It was called “The Phoenix and the Girl.” Guess what it was about? ;) I even got to illustrate it. The Phoenix was actually a gigantic drawing of a sparrow that I traced from somewhere and I don’t remember what I used for the “girl”. I think I have copy of it around here somewhere. That's awesome. You really should dig it out. 

What genre do you prefer to read? My first love was science-fiction/fantasy and my library is full of my favorites. I’ve written several stories in that genre. But after my husband gave me a paranormal romance, which combines romance and sci-fi/fantasy, I was a goner. ;) HA! The best of both worlds. Love it! 

Okay, so please, please, please tell the people about your awesome new book.

The story of Bridget Shanahan and Fredrick MacGregor came about when I wondered what it would be liked to be kidnapped by a really sexy guy, when he thought he was rescuing me. How would I react? How would he react to my hostility? Her Devoted Vampire came from those questions. 

Here is the blurb:

Bridget doesn't believe in vampires or werewolves, but that doesn't stop one from kidnapping her.

BRIDGET SHANAHAN’S life seems bleak and boring until she gets mugged and abducted from her favorite coffee shop by the sexiest man she’s ever met. Unfortunately, he’s a lunatic who believes he’s some kind of vampire savior surrounded by a security force of werewolves and he’s determined to keep her.

FREDRICK MACGREGOR has been having visions of this woman in danger for the last six months, a woman he must protect because she’s the Avatar of the Goddess. However, when he brings her home, she doesn’t believe he's a vampire or that she is the Avatar, and she definitely doesn't want to stay. But the sense of danger persists and he'll do anything to keep her safe, even if it means risking the loss of the only woman who makes his endless life bearable again.

LOVE THAT!

Finally, before we get to your awesome giveaway, tell us who Siobhan Muir is.

Ah...The art of flirting. 

For some its an easy concept.

For others its excruciating. 

Flirting can be as easy as

 a look

a wink

a smile

 or a cheesy pick-up line:

"Is your daddy a thief? 'Cause he stole 

the stars from the sky and put 'em in your eyes." 

Yes, I actually did get that line way back when. 
More recently, while wearing the shirt below, I had a guy say, 

"Hey, did you know you have Grease on your shirt?" 

 

It took me a second to figure out what he was talking about. 

When I did, I laughed, got in the car, called Husband 

and we laughed together. Every time I wear it now, Husband makes sure to remind me that I have Grease on my shirt.

I am Morgan Kearns. 

I write Contemporary and Paranormal Romance. 

In my newest release, HEART ACHE, 

Nikolai needs lessons on how to flirt with Gabby. 

“I would love nothing more than to take you right here, right now. To have the scent of your sex forever stained on the leather…” He groaned; a completely masculine, guttural sound. He ran the tip of his nose up her neck, sniffing as he went.

Her entire body reacted; her blood heated to molten lava and everywhere else turned liquid. She had to bite her tongue to keep from offering herself up to him.

“But I really have work to do.”

 Or does he?

HEART ACHE is currently available via Kindle, 

Nook, other eBook as well as in Paperback.

Naughty After Dark Blog Tour (Feb. 15th - 22nd)

Thanks to Close Encounters of the Night Kind 

and Natasha Blackthorne for hosting this hop!

Who doesn't love getting a little naughty every now and then?

My heroine, Gabby, in my new release, Heart Ache, sure does. 

*****

Excerpt from Heart Ache...

Gabby made another small noise. He focused on the back of her elegant body barely obscured by the fogged shower glass. She was perfection wrapped up in a female form. Long legs, one of which was bent slightly, supported thin hips, a narrow waist, and a beautiful back made to fill the span on his hands.

His body went rigid from head to toe. The pounding of his heart verified he was in the right place, although now might not be the right time if she were to find him eyeballing her from the shadows. He swallowed hard and tried to use the sandpaper he’d once called his tongue to wet his lips.

He’d always prided himself on being a gentleman, and he knew he should turn his back in order to allow her the privacy she deserved, but he couldn’t find the strength to look away. Hell, he couldn’t even force his lids over his eyes.

Damn!

Gabby turned, taking the air out of his lungs. She worked a loofa over her skin. He obsessed over the suds caressing down her body. She rubbed and stroked. Her breath hitched and his name left her lips on a breathless whisper. His entire body jerked as if he’d become intimate with a stun gun.

She moaned again and through the fog in his brain he wondered if he’d only imagined her saying his name. Wouldn’t that be a kick in the balls to have imagined…

“Niko!”

Oh, for the love of all that is holy and good!

Six Sentence Sunday (2/12) ~ Heart Ache

Welcome back, Sixers!

We're revisiting Nikolai and Gabby from my newest release, HEART ACHE. 

In this snippet, Gabby has just asked Nikolai to call her Gabrielle and to ... use his accent.

*****

She stood and took a step away.

Nikolai jumped to his feet, grabbed her arm, and spun her around so she faced him. He looked deep into her eyes, capturing her complete attention. Neither of them breathed for a few seconds. Nikolai leaned forward until his lips were right at her ear.

       “Anything you want, sweet Gabrielle.”

Heart Ache is currently available via Kindle, Nook, other Ebook,

Vampires for Valentines Blog Tour (Feb 10th-16th)

Who doesn't love a vampire?

Getting a Vampire for Valentine's Day 

would be a fabulous surprise!

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Nikolai Voinea,
the brooding hero in my new release, Heart Ache.

It has taken Nikolai 400 years to find Gabby

and that was the easy part!

One Touch

Gabrielle Ryan felt an electric attraction to her new employer the first time he reached out and shook her hand. She dreams of him, fantasizes about him, but all Nikolai wants is an assistant—and to Gabby’s chagrin, it’s not to assist him with taking off his pants!

One Beat

An ache has inhabited Nikolai Voinea’s chest for the last four hundred years. Yet stubbornly resolute not to repeat his father’s mistakes, Nikolai refuses to take the one female who is his heart’s greatest desire.

Captures His Heart Forever

When murder charges make Gabby second guess everything she knows about him, she’s hurt and angry and determined to walk away. But Nikolai’s just as determined to do everything within his power to keep her.


Heart Ache is available via Kindle, Nook, other Ebook
as well as MorganKearns.com.
