I’ve been holding onto this news for a couple of weeks, but I now have the go ahead to post about it. I was offered my first contract with Ellora’s Cave for an erotic paranormal/shape shifter romance. It’s called Goddess Revealed-Bast’s Perfume. It’s only a quickie, but the first in a series of four shorts. I’ve subbed the other three shorts to EC and I should be hearing back about them in the next week or so. I’m really excited about this. I’ve wanted to be published by EC for a while now.
Here’s an unedited blurb for Goddess Revealed-Bast’s Perfume
Slade Nelson admires the Egyptian perfume jar that his buisness partner sends to their antique store in Toronto, Canada from Egypt. It’s one of four jars he has sent, but Slade can’t understand why Frank sent the perfume jar when it is obviously a copy of an ancient orginial. Opening the jar, Slade can’t get enough of the intoxicating perfume it once held. But he gets a bigger surprise when a cat appears in his house after he removes the lid from the jar and shape shifts into a gorgeous woman he can’t resist.
Bast knows this mortal is her mate, but bound to her perfume jar by a demon’s spell, she knows she can’t stay in the mortal realm with him. She only has days. When Slade’s business partner turns up murdered, Bast knows the demon will hunt Slade because he possess her jar. As they grow closer, Bast and Slade must find a way to break the demon’s spell before Bast is ripped away from Slade unable to return to him.
