Keira Kroft is far from being just an amazing novelist. She doesn't set, creating world's of tantalizing tales day after day, sipping coffee and having her shoulders messaged by the strong hands of her lover. No, there is more than meets the eye to this wordsmith, even if she does seem to live in a world of mystical bliss.

Keira owns two companies that has nothing to do with the child-care and the work she does as a novelist, and she is the one who manages to keep it all on a smooth running scale...I still haven't figured out how she does all that she does. This woman goes right under my very short list of women who are known as "Super Woman" Women who not only have a family to care for, but a full time job....not to mention a company to run 'she has two', a group of people to keep happy, sites to keep flowing and blogs to fill, people to talk with and contracts seal...and then find the time to create world's so we can set back and chill!

Keira Kroft is "Super Woman" ...aka...Dawn Binkely owner of Hellfire Publishing and Co. Owner of Hellfire Comics. She is an author with Decadent Publishing and has put a story out with HP and has promised to release more.

Glow In The Dark:

Blurb

Determined to beout from her mother’s ruling and no-good soon-to-be ex-boyfriend, Corey Nolanexercises her independence with a place to call her own and a job that doesn’tpay well, but it takes care of the rent and she enjoys it. Her life is full andher young daughter is happy, there is no room for distractions, until she meetsa local firefighter—who stirs an immediate forbidden attraction. In need forcontrol, she tries to ignore Jake Gilroy, but circumstances bring her closer tohim when someone is hell bent on destroying her.

Dutiful playboy Jake is knownas the smoking hot fireman. First time he sets eyes on Corey, he knows he wantsher, but when threats and strange occurrences start to happen, he finds the needto protect her and give more than he’s ever given any another woman.

Being together maybe morethan they bargained for, when their desire for each other becomes a matter oflife and death…

Excerpt:

Jake slid his fingers down her arm and across her wrist. Aspark lit through her. She gasped and her gaze locked with his. She made noattempt to draw away. Corey couldn’t…she didn’t want to.

“How is it?” heglanced at her scraped and bruised elbow.

Coming out of the trance, she lifted her arm and showed himthe slight injury. “Oh, it’s fine.”

“I would have been over sooner, but the other guys got you,and I didn’t want you to be overwhelmed.”

Corey couldn’t conjure up a response. What he said, and howhe said it, turned her knees to jelly. She felt like the high school girl whowas just noticed by the popular jock. She couldn’t stop staring at his soft,dark brown eyes, even though a sensible voice in her head told her to just walkaway and forget him.

“I’m very sorry. But I really have to go.” She peekedaround his massive chest to the men beyond. “It was so nice meeting you guys,”she called over, waving. She turned to pick up her bike, then pushed it alongand hopped on.

“Stop by anytime,” she heard Jake yell behind her.

She smiled but didn’t turn around. Glancing at her watch,she’d realized she was supposed to have started her first day of work eightminutes ago. Fear made her petal faster.

She hoped she hadn’t lost the job already. But whatif she did? How would she pay rent? How would she feed Molly?

Bad Moon Rising Over OZ:

Bad Moon Rising OverOz is a version of, The Wizard of Oz like nothing you’ve ever read before...

It is not for thesqueamish or the weak.

Auntie Em has madea deal with the devil. She gave up her niece, Dorothy’s soul in exchange for aplentiful harvest. Em was smart and worked a clause into the contract. Satancould only have Dorothy’s soul in death, but she must also agree to meet thedark lord himself and shake his hand. Everything is going splendid until…

Dorothy unaware ofher untimely demise or any satanic contract embarks on a journey through theLand of Oz, seeking the great Wizard in hopes that he will return her safely home.As she unwittingly marches through hell, she begins to notice that nothing andno one is what it seems and there is no turning back…

There is indeed abad moon rising over Oz.

EXCERPT:

The intact housefinally landed on the ground. Dorothy awoke to her vomit-covered pooch lickingher face. Toto had turned back into a dog, and she would be none the wiser.Dorothy rose from the floor, where she’d been lying in a pool of her own blood.She got up very easily due to the adrenaline pumping through her body. She wentinto the living room and ran out the front door, unable to believe hereyes.

Stopping, sherubbed the back off her head, feeling that it was fine. Then she stuck herhands out in front of her and examined them closely. “Toto, my fingers are fineand my head feels great; but that’s weird, I have blood all over me.”

Dorothy heard thesound of birds chirping. Lush daisies and other fragrant arrangements extended outfar as the eye could see. She heard giggling, and one by one, people emerged upfrom the flower beds. They were much shorter than Dorothy, and had petitefeatures. Although these people were small, they were definitely grown adults.There was a whole legion of them, enough to fill an entire city. Dorothythought they were so adorable. Their elf-like hats had little bells on themthat jingled when they walked.

An elegant womancame towards her. She was dressed in white and looked exactly like what Dorothyimagined an angel would look like. But she couldn’t be a soldier of God, couldshe? No, I am alive. I can’t be dead, can I? “Is this heaven?” Dorothy blurted.

Theangelic–looking woman and the little people couldn’t contain their hystericallaughter. “No, this is definitely not heaven. But you are a hero, MissDorothy.”

“A hero?”

“You saved us. Youkilled the evil Witch of the East and you have freed our people, so it’s onlyright that you have her shoes,” the woman dressed in white explained.

“I can’t take hershoes, it wouldn’t be right. How do I even know if they will fit?”

“They are magicalshoes. Look at the way the rubies shimmer in the sunlight. Those shoes are theonly thing you have to save you!” The woman said as she waved her magic wand,and the shoes lifted off. “I had actually brought them for you, but she stolethem.”

The woman in whitedidn’t explain, but she was referring to the most powerful witch to ever live.She practiced the darkest of magic. Even in death, she ruled by the side of thedark one. When the witch’s heart was set on something or someone, she couldn’tbe stopped; and she wanted Dorothy’s soul for her master.

“Those shoes don’tlook very comfortable. Don’t you have another pair in the house?” a little manwith bright green hair inquired. “You have a very long journey home.”

“I can go home?”Dorothy squealed.

“Yes, you can. Nowgo, change into something comfortable,” he explained. What was left ofDorothy’s welcoming committee were pushing the front of their hands forward,motioning her to go change her blood stained attire.

Dorothy returnedwearing a charming knee length blue and white cotton dress, including a redbonnet that matched her shoes. Even though her hat was the same color, itdidn’t have the sparkle the shoes had.

A very petite,almost pretty munchkin walked up to Dorothy. “You look very nice, but why areyou in such a pretty dress and fancy shoes?”

“I wanted to looknice for my family when I get back home. Besides, my feet feel wonderful.”

The little womanproceeded to try to pull the shoes off her feet, but Dorothy jumped back. “Youdon’t touch those,” she snapped.

“But you must go tothe city of Emeralds and ask to see the great wizard. He will help you gethome, but it’s a long journey,” the small woman explained.

“How do I find thisEmerald place?” Dorothy couldn’t wait to get home.

“You must followthe yellow brick road.” The group of small ones replied by smiling. Their hatsjingled as they disappeared back into the flowers.

Dorothy lookeddown. The road before her appeared to be bricks made of pure gold, traced withsilver grout. A little bluebird landed on her shoulder and sang a cute song.Dorothy crooked her finger at Toto, picked up her basket that housed her lunch,and they set out on their journey.

As Dorothy walkedaway, unbeknownst to her, the flowers turned to ash, and the munchkins hadturned into little demons with ugly, red faces. The road behind her was nowpaved with broken bones and crushed human skulls. The sun had turned to black.

Just sharing some of my work!!!

2012-01-22T21:10:00.001-07:00

Have to share some things about a few of my books:

From Savannah Rayne:

Did you like Twilight? really? Hmmm, well I'm here to tell you that Robin Renee Ray's Bloodbreeders series makes the Twilight series looks like child's play. Robin has written the best new series I have read in a long time! The journey of R...enee Crocker begins on her family farm and takes you on an adventure you won't soon forget! I suggest reading Living in Darkness if you haven't already, because a little birdie told me the second book in the series is coming out very soon and it's better than the first!

Bloodbreeders Living in Darkness: Not once in her life did farm girl Renee Crocker, imagine she would encounter a world found only in the minds of myth-seeking men. Although the things they sought were not always unheard of in the 1930’s in other parts of the world, life was just too harsh in the small Texas community, to pay mind to anything other than raising a healthy crop to ensure the survival of one’s family. But late one evening during supper, a stranger comes knocking on the door of the Crocker family farm house and is invited inside.

It doesn’t take long for Renee to discover a great number of things that people in her neck of the woods couldn’t even contemplate. The dark of night takes on a whole new meaning, and the once vulnerable young country woman finds herself struggling to survive in a world that demands she live forever in darkness.

Arrival of the Prophecy: Anthony Michelle had no idea that he would find the other half of his werewolf soul in the body of a woman who was afraid of her own shadow, not the qualities a King searched for when looking for his Queen. Then again, there was only one woman in the world that would not fall to the allure of the Wolf King, she just so happen to come in the form of a small, delicate, human female.

Sky Lashay Delaney also had no clue that she carried something that would change her life in more ways than she could even contemplate. Her bashful demeanor would soon be put to the test and everything that she knew to be normal would be placed on the shelf of complete disbelief. On a chance meeting outside The Blue Howler, a club owned by a member of the werewolf clan, the two unknowingly find their very unconventional destiny.

Dark Knight of the Skye: Coming to the USA wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Danny Gilmore may have found the love of his life, but he also discovers himself locked in a coffin with a new set of fangs. D'nae Creel, his bubbly Texan sweetheart, travels to his homeland of Scotland to visit his grave only to learn that not only is it empty, but that her Danny walks as only the undead can. They are unknowingly intertwined in a two hundred year old vampire's quest for revenge, who will stop at nothing until a certain Gilmore pays for his forefather's crimes.

D'nae's love for her Dark Knight cannot be swayed, but circumstances have her balancing on the edge of insanity. Detective Grady O'Brian works his way into her life, seeking the same thing as those who are creating a murderous trail to taunt Danny into making himself known. D'nae's life is twisted into a world of undeniable disbelief, one that could take her Dark Knight from her forever... not to mention everything else she could lose.

If you are interested in any of these books just click on the covers!!!

Excerpt from book one: Living in Darkness

When I awoke, the four of them were in what seemed to be a heavy discussion. I could tell it was about Martin and me, because the instant they noticed I was awake, the conversation stopped and they all turned my direction.
“Oh, you’re awake. How does your arm feel?” Rebecca asked.
“It’s better, thank you. Um, is there a problem?” I asked, looking from her to the men.
“No, everything is fine. We just had a small disagreement, it’s nothing to worry yourself about,” she said.

I didn’t know what was going on, but I wasn’t about to ask in the presence of the three men. I just wanted to be gone from here. I knew Martin was already looking for me, I could feel it. Even if he wasn’t I knew it wouldn’t be long until he was.

“So, where do we go from here? Did ya’ll find a car?” I asked.

“Yes,” Rebecca answered. “Ronny has one ready outside.”

“Then can we leave? He’s looking for me, I know it,” I said.

Omar looked at Rebecca and gave her a small smile, one you wouldn’t notice unless you were looking straight at him. I didn’t try to question his antics; I just got up and started for the stairs. I didn’t have any intention of having a conversation with the likes of Omar, even if I did want to know what that little smirk was all about. He made my skin crawl the first time he opened his mouth, and has had my nerves on edge ever since.

We all loaded in the vehicle, and traveled throughout the night, stopping only to steal gas. No one spoke much, though Rebecca asked how I was several times. Along our way, we found abandoned houses to seek refuge from the day, even staying in a cramped little crypt in a rundown cemetery. We were usually crowded, but once the sun came up, it didn’t really matter where we slept. The days and nights passed uneventfully. On the fourth night as we were huddled in a dank cellar, the pain in my stomach returned with a vengeance.

“She needs to feed. We don’t need her weak,” Omar told Rebecca.

“No!” I cried out. “I won’t hurt another person, I can’t.”

Omar opened his mouth as if to say something, but Rebecca grabbed his arm.

“We will teach her to feed without taking life. That is Martin’s way, not ours,” she said looking at me. “We can show you how to survive without causing harm to a normal. Even animals can serve us well.”

I thought about it for a moment before agreeing. “Ok, then I’ll feed. I don’t want to slow us down, and give that bastard a chance to catch up. I would rather die than go back with him,” I said.

I knew that was only part truth. Despite everything, I missed him, or at least some part of me did. The other part wanted his neck hanging from a noose. I could still feel the kiss…our last kiss. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have thought it was real? Just another of his tricks, I told myself. The neigh of a goat brought me back to reality. I looked up the cellar stairs to see Ronny and Marcos peering down with a brown and white goat between them.

“Anyone ready for breakfast?” Marcos laughed.

The rest of us made our way up, and when we surfaced, Ronny pulled out a blade like I had never seen. “What are you going to do with that?” I asked.

“It’s better to get the blood flowing than trying to bite,” he winked. “They‘re to dirty for my taste, if you get my meaning.”

“Oh, I see...”

“I prefer the blood of a normal,” Omar interrupted. “This is beneath me,” he said disgustedly.

“Shut up, Omar,” Rebecca demanded angrily. “You know this is our way now.”

Omar puffed out his chest, but didn’t say another word. It was obvious he had more to say, but her look stopped him before he could open his mouth. Instead, he clenched his jaws, and left the room. Marcos, with a tin cup in hand, looked to Ronny who then sliced through the goat’s throat. The gurgling noises that followed were enough to make me want to leave the room as well, but I stayed where I was.

Marcos filled the cup to the top and handed it to me.

“Ladies first,” he said.

I took it, sloshing the blood causing it to run down the side of the cup and over my fingers. I licked my lips and reluctantly took a sip. The taste was wonderful. I gulped down the viscous fluid, trying not to leave a single drop. The pain was gone the moment the blood hit my stomach. I handed Marcos the cup and greedily licked my fingers clean, as I thanked them in-between the very un-lady like spectacle. When everyone had, had their share, we were off again.

“We will reach the ocean sometime tonight,” Rebecca said. “Then the real journey will begin.”

............................................

One person will win the ebook of Bloodbreeders Living in Darkness and also be one of the first to read the gallery of book two 'The Revenge' Pay-back can sometimes be worth the mishapes along the way. ;)

Have a great day...drawing ends 1-20

Thank you!!!!

Just thought of a short horror read for Valentine's

2012-01-15T23:41:00.002-07:00

Being that I love writing in the horror genre with my short stories and have seen every Valentine horror movie to be seen. I think I will put my mind at creating something the Holiday of Hearts filled with candy and flowers on long stems, hasn't had fun with yet. To me the best thing about being a novelist is that you can create anything you want. However, I do wish you all a great build up of excitement for a rockin Valentine's coming soon, with your special other and if there is no special other then treat yourself because that will be a day where you shine anyway!!! : )

Meet the Demons of After Hours

2012-01-13T02:00:00.000-07:00

Interview Robin, Savannah and Dawn

Hi, thisis Dawn Binkley owner of Hellfire Publishing. I wanted to spend Friday the 13^th,one of my favorite dayswith all of you. I chose a very specialinterview. A three way with Jen Hart, Robin Renee Ray and I.

Ms. Raywrote a horror short entitled After Hoursin which my assistant (among other things) and I are soul stealing she-demons.

A little secret back story. I have always teased the writer’s to do things my way, orI would get them with my ruler. My little sliver of polished wood has since grownand has a sharp blade that shoots out the side and some other cool features. Myassistant Jen needed a weapon too, so that she could assist in my fauxdiscipline duties, lol. Her weapon of choice…a staple gun. Did Robin pay theprice of turning us into she-demons? I’ll never tell :) Jen: I don’t know nothing; never gotany memo. Oh and Dawn, I forgot to tell you that the paper shredder is workingfine now :)

Dawn:Hello, Robin and Jen how are youlovely ladies today?

Robin’s response: I am doing absolutely wonderful.

Jen’s response: Good Morning, Demon Momma! I’m doingsuper good, thanks for asking me to stop by for this little three-some.

Robin's response: Three-some!!! Hum, might have to write that in some where...just saying..LOL

Dawn: Robin can you share a short synopsiswith us?

Robin’s response: Sure.

Day after monotonous day, Jen went about her daily routine as a bluecollar robot until one day she was bitten by a She-demon risen from the darkestdepths of Hell. Dazzled by her new found evening activities, she comes to findthat there is always a catch…she must take the life of innocents as well as thescumbags of the earth, then and only then, would she become the Right-HandDemon to her new Queen. But will the strands of her humanity keep her caughtbetween the two worlds forever? Or will she become one of the earth’s mostpowerful, feared beings…after hours?

Dawn:Well Robin I have to start with whatfirst inspired you to take an idea such as this and bring it too life. Whatmade you choose to write that particular story?

Robin’s response: Well, if the truth be told, it wasmeeting the two of you and falling head over heels into a lifelong friendship.I know turning you both into flesh eating, soul stealing demons might not makeit seem so, but that’s where After Hours came to life. Not because I think thetwo of you are demons, but because I think you guys are two of the coolest andcraziest people I have ever met. And I have a love-hate thing with yourdiscipline tools…LOL

Dawn’s response: So just to be clear, friends becomekillers in your books and enemies…die? LOL

Robin's response: Oh yeah..LOL

(Jen smiles a wicked grin)

Dawn: I personally love being portrayed asan evil she-demon and think it’s areal life prediction, lol. Jen, what do you think of us being portrayed as ashe-demon and her protégé?

Jen’s response: I have to tell you, I love it! Robinturned us into the total opposite of our real selves (**stop laughing you two,they’re gonna hear you and I’m trying to be discreet here**)…Although some mayargue that point, most know we’re really sweet, very helpful and understanding(**oh good lord Robin, please cover Dawn’s mouth with a pillow**)…and we wouldnever, ever hurt anyone (fingers crossed behind my back) And, Robin let the Jencharacter be one sexy vixen :)

Robin's response: Alright Jen, if I put a pillow over Dawn's mouth I willget the ruler and we don't want the ruler coming out!

(Jen rolls her eyes)

Dawn’s response: Oh yeah, right, what she said. It’sjust a story. A piece of fiction. Okay Jen I will shut up now. You can stopjamming staples in my side!

Dawn:What possessed you to possess Jen andI? Why us and not another HP member?

Robin’s response: Because no one else has everthreatened to beat me with desk equipment. ; ) It was the only way I couldthink of to pay you two back without actually getting that beating…LOL

Dawn’s response: Well played. If that doesn’t soundevil I don’t know what does. Perhaps you should write yourself in the next one.That would be uber cool!

Robin's response: Hummmm???

Dawn: I can relate to the she-demonsreliance on her protégé doing her job and their friendship. Jen is thereanything about your character that you can relate to?

Jen’s response: Wow, I’d have to write my own book toanswer that! Seriously though, as Robin describes in her book, Dawn and Jen arevery close friends and Dawn trusts her with every aspect as far as work goes.Jen puts in long hours and is very loyal to her master—I mean boss, yep, I’dsay Robin is correct in the research she did, LOL

Dawn’s response: Whatever! Blah, blah, blah…whine,whine. Don’t make me get the ruler out! LOL. I sincerely hope somebody proofread this, because you know my fingers can’t spell.

Robin's response: Don't look at me Dawn, Jen's my editor..LOL My fingerscan't sepll either.

Jen's response: See, my work is never done!

Dawn: I adore Robin’s style and heart, youcan feel her love for the characters and how she just lets them be free, andshe’s not buttoned down which you see a lot in books. Jen your Robin’s editor.What do you think of Robin’s writing?

Jen’s response: From an editor’s stand point, Robin isa dream to work with. She’s very professional and gets things back to me rightaway. On the rare occasion, if she disagrees with a suggestion she will explainwhy…sometimes the reader (editor) can misperceive the way something isintended. The only real problem I have had, is I get so caught up in the story,I sometimes forget I’m working…then Ihave to go back again and edit it, LOL. Robin’s stories are always solid andwell written, as I said, she’s very professional.

Dawn’s response: I know you have read to far withoutediting, a couple of times, no joke. But I think professional is the key wordhere. Robin is extremely professional and keeps her self well informed in thelogistics of publishing, marketing and writing.

Jen's response: Oh, I so agree. And those ideas...where does she come up with them and...

Robin's response: Hello, I'm setting right here. *Blush* Thanks guys!

Dawn: I am elated to announce that there isa sequel in the works, of which we will share a bit of at the end of thisinterview, as well as bit of After Hours.So will there be a third part?

Robin’s response: Oh yeah, and maybe even a fourth. Youcan’t kill these two she-demons that easy, and the more I write about them themore their world grows in my mind. The character Dawn in the running story hasbeen on earth’s realm for a very long time which you will see in the teaser.

Dawn’s response: I know. I look so awesome for beingover a century old.

Robin's response: Absolutely, my demons don't age, baby!

Dawn: I like that After Hours is wellwritten, intriguing, and has a twist. Jen what do you like most about thisstory?

Jen’s response: Hmmm, large staple gun, a tortureroom, killing, stiletto heels and I still get to work for you…need I say more?

Dawn’s response: Well if Publishing doesn’t work out,we will have to sell our souls then. At least I feel secure knowing that wehave a retirement plan, lol :)

Jen's response: Retirement plan? Is that something else you're going to want me to proof read?

Robin's response: LMBO

Dawn: Robin, I love the name After Hours Delight, where did that namecome from?

Robin’s response: *Snicker* This may be a bit of aspoiler but Jen, as we all know from book one, likes her sexual time…now thatshe’s a demon she feels she needs a mate, and at this time that is all that Ican say. ; )

Dawn’s response: LOL *very true* LOL

Jen's response: Seriously guys, I told you that crap about having problems with my Twitter when I was drunk! I can't help it that I need more practice. Really, I never thought it would end up in a book.

Dawn: I would like to see my Dawn do a lotmore killing in the future. Jen is there something in particular; you wouldlike to see your character do in the sequel to After Hours?

Jen’s response: I think Jen needs a pet! Not just anyold pet, I want one of Robin’s hotties! :) I promise to walk him, feed him,give him a bath, pet him often, oh and he can sleep at the foot of my bed too!

Dawn’s response: That’s right because she-demons canbe very nurturing, but we don’t snuggle.

Dawn: Was there any outside sources thatwere the inspiration for either book, something you did or somewhere you havebeen perhaps?

Robin’s response: LOL…You working at the Comic bookstore and Jen setting doing her editing job. The title After Hours just poppedinto my head and the story rolled right out. A few hours later it was complete.

Dawn’s response: Were you scared of what I would dowhen you were writing it? LOL

Robin's response: Not of you, just the ruler. LOL

Dawn: What is After Hours Delight about?

Robin’s response: It’s about the two of you with Barryand Helen, two of the demon helpers that have been with you Dawn for over ahundred earth years and the ones in book one, leaving the city and going to ahome in the country by a small town where you, Dawn, had lived in an estate backin the 1800’s. Those who read the first story know that Jen had killed adetective and it seems too many began asking questions. So, it was time for anew start, so to speak. There will be more blood, but also more fun in thebedroom. ; p

Dawn: Jen is there something you would liketo say on the subject of After Hours or Robin Renee Ray, before we say goodbye?

Jen’s response: Robin, I am very flattered that youthought enough of me to put me in one of your stories. It’s a lot of fun to tellpeople that the character Jen is based on me! However, I won’t be putting thaton my résumé any time soon for obvious reasons. You’re talent as a writer issuperb and I recommend you to everyone who asks me if I’ve "read any good bookslately." It is a pleasure to work with you; you make it a lot of fun! Now…aboutthat pet—I’ll be in touch so we can discuss the perfect pedigree :)

Dawn’s response: You don’t have time for pets, getback to work! LOL

Jen's response: I'm not scared of you, you know. Santa gave me a new bigger, badder and shinier staple gun for Christmas!

Robin's response: I am so cracking up!!! You are most welcome, Jen and whoknows...you may just get that pet in book two????

Dawn: Robin, can you leave us with someparting thoughts, before we delve into the teasers below?

Robin’s response: Just that I am so blessed to havesuch wonderful friends that allow me to write and turn them into creatures thatdo horrid things and in book two have some amazing erotic fun, before they usetheir playmates for a warm meal…LOL

Dawn:All playing aside, I am honored that Robin chose me and Jen for this rockinstory. I would absolutely love it, even if it wasn’t about me. And in spite ofit, lol J

Robin's response: The honor was all mine Dawn, this is now and will always be my favorite mini series because I have the two of you as my main characters. Big Hugs to you both~

Thank you girls for joining me today,this was awesome. I haven’t had this much fun since Jen and I tortured Tedo in After Hours.

Robin's response: *Snicker* Poor Tedo.. LOL

Hereis a teaser from After Hours

His face contorted and the sting waslike molting lava on the curve of her waist. Jen groaned, holding the screamthat would have placed the blade deep into her body. He would stab and then runaway. “That’s a warning of what I’ll do to you if you are fucking with me inany way what so ever.”

“Iwouldn’t do that. I just want to give you what you want then hopefully help youto go on your way,” Jen said, doing everything she could to calm him down.

Helaid his arm over her shoulder and turned her toward the building and pretendedto kiss her as a young couple walked briskly by. The street lights flickeredand the man jerked at the shoulders. “Your car. Now.” Jen swallowed even thoughher mouth was dry, and started walking toward the parking garage across thestreet. She stuck her hand in her purse to get her keys and he slammed his fistinto her face. Jen hit the ground hard. He kneeled down and quickly rummagedthrough her things then yanked her to her feet.

“Youdidn’t have to do that, I was just getting my keys.”

“Women,”he pulled her over to the wall of the entrance and glanced both ways beforedashing through the opening with her in tow. “Never stick your hand intosomething. Next time, I’ll kill ya.” He said the last so close to her face shecould see the white cataract on his left eye.

Teaserfrom: After Hours Delight

The dank smell of time past was thefirst thing to hit her sensitive nose, followed by the faint scent of staleblood. It was then that the aroma of gasoline filled the air, over powering theother scents. Soon after, the sound of a loud motor came to life causing theoverhead light to flicker to life. “Oh my goodness, this is like an old horrormovie,” Jen observed as she made her way around the torture device that stillheld the remains of an extremely aged carcass.

“Homesweet home,” Dawn cooed, running her hand along the leg bone that was tethereddown to an oblong stone table. “He was the yard man when I first bought thisplace back in eighteen seventy five.”

“Yousure were a busy girl.” Jen’s brows wrinkled as she bent down to look at a headsoaking in a jar of clear fluid. “And who was this?”

“Thebutler and not a very good one I might add. I thought I would be able to keepthe help, but you know how nosy some humans can be.”

“Thisone tried to court her.” Helen leaned down and kissed the skull of a beinghanging from shackles on the web covered, stone wall. “She favored him so wecouldn’t eat him.”

“Ithad nothing to do with that. I was actually thinking about making him amate. I found out that he wasn’t into my‘other side’ and professed he would take his own head if I dared try to bringhim over. So, I left him down here in hopes he would change his mind.”

“Didhe?” Jen blurted out. “Sorry, stupid question.” She blushed.

“Forgetthis nonsense; I want to show you, your new home. All of this will be cleanedout, all but the butler’s head that is. I kind of like the way he looks.”

“Dawn?”Jen stepped up to walk up the stairs beside her.

“Yes?”

“Wereyou really going to turn that man into your mate?”

“Nowdon’t go getting any ideas, Jeanette.”

“I’veasked you to stop calling me that. Only my mother calls me Jeanette, or she useto before she passed away, and she only did that when she was upset with me.Now, why not get the idea of having a mate? I have a very high sex drive, youknow.”

“Itold…”

“AndI told you. I am not having sex with a short, wart covered twerp like Barry. Nooffence, Barry,” Jen looked back, half smiling, half frowning.

“Right…nonetaken.” He looked over at Helen with a frown of his own.

“Ican remember when you were nothing but hot for him.”

“Ah,yeah, when I thought he was a yummy, human. Had he been my type of demon wemight have a different story here. Are there any demons like me out there?”

“Onlythe two of us can create a demon male like yourself, but he has to be willingafter he has been infected with death. If he refuses, you might as well havehim for dinner or he will be waist hanging on the wall.” Dawn stopped and tooka deep breath. “Can we please talk about this after we’ve had time to at leastsettle in?”

“Justknow we will be having this conversation again.”

Dawnshook her head then pulled a set of keys out of the hand bag. Once the skeletalkey was in the lock she turned and smiled at Helen and Barry, then over at Jenwho up to this point hadn’t been very impressed. Well, she did enjoy the siteof the head in the jar. The door opened and Jen’s jaw damn near hit the floor.Antique furniture filled the round foyer that held a horseshoe shaped staircasethat had the biggest chandelier that she had ever seen. The marble table in themiddle of the room had a crystal vase on its center with dry, dead, flowersthat draped over the sides. Still, it was marvelous.

Therewas a curved, chest high table at the base of the staircase, placed between thetwo entrances that led to the upper floor. It was made of a rich, dark wood andwas covered in dusty photos of Dawn and people Jen didn’t recognize. The twohigh-back chairs on each side of the table looked like something out of themedieval times. Both were solid wood with brass lion heads for hand rests.

“Wantto look at this floor first or go check out the bedrooms?” Dawn asked seeingthe smile on Jen’s face.

“Youcould have told me about this place, ya know. I wouldn’t have acted like a bratfor the last three days. This place is amazing.”

“Iwanted you to be surprised.”

Working through edits on galleries and full out edits on books getting ready for that second round. It feels like that is all I have been doing for the last few months is editing one thing or another when all that I want to do is create.

I am working as fast and as hard as I can in the gallery of Arrival of the Prophecy this week:

I am just taking a break on page 250 with a little over 40 pages left to go. After I finish this book I will stop all editing and get to work on the sequel to the mini series After Hours and get at least 10 pages written in After Hours Delight, a story that is way over due.

Come Monday I will get back into the edits on Uncertain Meanings:

Now this is one of my smallest novels but one that has had the most trouble getting out on the market. Due to a difference in thinking I asked for a different editor after months of work and we began from scratch, my request. Now we are back to the beginning, and right when I have several other works slamming me and getting ready for release. I have never taken so long in getting any of my work back to one of the three companies I work for, but this has been two of the busiest months of my life..LOL

My editor at Hellfire Publishing and I will start the edits on two of my manuscripts as soon as the Holidays are over: A Chance at Love

And Bloodbreeders: The Revenge Book two in the five book series. We will have the cover soon...WooHoo!!! January Release

It looks like it is going to be another few very busy months, with me having several more releases coming out in 2012

My Children's book: The Tale of Two Toodlegnomes. Spring

Bloodbreeders: Seeking Others Book three in the series.

Piper Vale: Please Don't Hurt Me...The first book in the Piper Vale series. Thriller/Mystery

Vol.1 Short Stories of Twisted Tales...not sure but it may come out in 2012???

Shorts and Novellas to send in:

Thin Lines Between Love and Hate

Zombies Sex and Chocolate Cheesecake...almost complete.

The sequels to:

Damnation Human Interation

Jade Slate: Finding Salvation

After Hours Delight

Shortly after I write them!

Books, Novellas, Short reads to be finished:

The Night the Earth Shook...LN

A New Breed...LN

Jacob...LN and a swing book off of my Bloodbreeders series!

Sacred Love...N

Seven Hearts for Mary...SN

Wings and Passion...N

When The Sun Sets...LN

Sister's of Death...N

The Director...SN

The Night I Died...N

LN..Long Novel...N..Novella...SN Short Novel

I am going to have one very busy year between writing and playing with my grand babies..LOL

My goal is to have it all complete, edited, and sent into my publishers, by this time next year...if not before the month of October??? I have a bad habit of stopping everything to create a few short reads, being horror or whatever genre my brain feels like writing in that day. So I am going to add at least 10 short stories to this goal of completing 10 novels/novellas/short novellas in 2012. We shall see..LOL

The Haunting of Atoka

By Robin Renee Ray

We never made it to the school’s gym that night. I droveeveryone home, then went to my house, where I stayed awake thinking about whatwe had experienced the short time that we were at Atoka. Three nights later, Ihad things ready to go again. This time we were going to walk the tracks by theschool and see if the stories of the glowing dead or the phantom train weretrue. I had asked Eric from work if he wanted to go with Kysha and myself. Hissister, Stephanie, overheard and joined us along with my neighbor, Crystal. Shewas addicted.

Everyone metat our house and we all made sure each other was wearing solid black and ifsomeone was wearing things that would reflect any form of light, it either cameoff or was covered up. The last thing we needed was the law asking what we weredoing and doing it so close to Government property.

“What if wereally see something?” Stephanie asked, causing Kysha and me to crack up. “Man,I know people who tried to walk those tracks at night. Scared the shit outtathem.”

“So theydidn’t make it to the other end?” Crystalasked, showing she was already spooked.

“Hell no,they saw those glowing things and took off. I ain’t even lying.”

“Stephanie’stalking about Oscar’s cousin. He’s always telling people what he’s seen out byAtoka,” Eric explained as he put on his black gloves.

“He ain’tthe only one,” Stephanie stood and grabbed her hoodie sweater. “All the oldtimers talk about shit that’s happened out there at that old school. I justwant to see if any of its true.”

“And if yousee something?” Eric laughed.

“It’s alllies, nothing like that is really real,” Stephanie shrugged. “And if you dosomething to freak me out, I’ll beat the shit out of you.”

We allstarted laughing, gathered our things and piled into my daughter’s car. Kysha’smustang made it a cramped tight fit, with one person sitting in the others lap,but it was the easiest car to hide by the tracks. We took a back road out oftown to keep from being seen and parked the car by the trees next to the fencethat kept the public away from the school. It put the tracks on the other sideof the car and hid it from vehicles that might happen to come in eitherdirection.

Our coatswere on and our heads were covered. It was time to walk the mile long track,hit the other end with hopes of seeing this glow and then turn around to facethe phantom train that had been seen on the tracks for over fifty plus years. Ilocked the car and we were off. I took the lead with Kysha and Crystal gettingas close as they could, and Eric and Stephanie brought up the rear. It wasn’tlong until we had to stay up on the tracks due to the depths of the drop off onboth sides.

“Don’t moveso fast, Eric,” Stephanie yelled, slapping her brother on the side of the arm.

“The sloweryou get the longer this is gonna take,” he said, pushing her hand away andturned to catch up with us.

“Wait, don’tyou leave me. I’ll fall,” she froze the moment she looked down. “Eric, I wannago back.” With her hands held out, she worked on trying to turn around, but herlegs wouldn’t work with her mind.

“Just comeon,” Eric walked back and grabbed her by the elbow. “You wanted to do this, solet’s do it.”

“Fuck you,Eric. If you leave me again, I’m telling mom.”

That onestatement had us all laughing again. But we soon all fell silent when wereached the area on the tracks that lost the rocks and earth and was left withthe gaps between railroad ties. It was a large draw that the farmers used tomove their cattle under and it was big enough to drive a good size truck beneath.I took off and was one fourth of the way across when I noticed that no one wasfollowing me.

“You can’tfall through the cracks,” I smiled at Kysha.

“I know butI don’t know if I can cross this, mom.”

“Give meyour hand, I won’t let you fall,” I walked back and took her trembling hand.

“Oh hellno,” Stephanie said when she finally got close enough to see the dark abyss.“We have to go down and walk to the other side. I’m not joking, I can’t crossthis.”

“I don’tthink I can either,” Crystaladmitted.

“It’s just alittle bridge,” Eric said stepping out on the first railroad tie that showedthe earth below. “But, I’ll go down the side and help you two.”

“Are youkidding me?” I laughed shaking my head. “Didn’t you guys ever walk across thetop of the monkey bars when you were little?”

“No,”Stephanie blurted out.

“I have butit wasn’t dark and the drop off wasn’t that far down,” Crystal said as she turned to follow Eric andStephanie.

We hadn’tall been back on the tracks for five minutes when we heard movement in theundergrowth to our right. Everyone hurried to get closer together. Ericaccidentally kicked a rock and we all screamed and took off down the other sideof the track when ‘It’ burst through the shrubs. A cubby of quail flew up into theair and we all laughed out in a gesture to hide how nervous that that had reallymade us, including myself. Seeing a group of birds take flight and the soundsthat they made had me swallowing my heart back down my throat.

“Oh my goodness,that scared me so bad I need to pee,” Crystalcrossed her legs.

“Thatfreaked me out, too,” Kysha laughed.

“I can’t seeyou squatting in the woods, Kysha,but we can,” I winked.

“Not asquatter,” Kysha blushed, “that’s why I went before we left the house.”

“I went too,”Crystal bouncedslightly, doing her version of the pee pee dance. “I guess that really scaredthe pee out of me.”

Eric didn’thave to be told, he just turned around while Stephanie, Crystal and myselffound a big bush to hide behind and relieve ourselves. “No way…what is that?” Icame around the bush and saw him pointing down the track. I made my way back upthe rocky side to see what he and Kysha were staring at. “Did you set this up?”Eric asked, stepping up beside me.

“I countthree. Isn’t that how many that were murdered in 1952?”

“And Oscarsaid it was the land off to the right after the first junction,” Kyshaproclaimed. “He said the houses have been gone for more than thirty years, buthe said you could still see the steps that went up to one of the porches.”

“Oscar’s oldand will tell you guys anything to scare you. I know some of this stuff istrue.” Eric jerked when Stephanie ran her hand under his arm. “But I didn’tthink we would see anything like this.”

“That’s bullshitman, that’s coming off the street light,” Stephanie said, as she tried to pullher brother to go back the way we had just come. “Let’s go back now.”

“I’m goingall the way across the track, that’s what we came here for, right?” I said,wiggling my brows at Kysha.

“I’m in,”she smiled and joined me a few feet from the rest.

“If you’regoing, then I’m going,” Crystaladded.

“I’ll stayhere with Stephanie. I don’t wanna go any further either,” Eric said, puttinghis arm over his sister’s shoulder.

We threegrouped together and continued down the tracks. The closer we got to thecrossing, the dimmer the strange glowing lights became until they hadcompletely disappeared. The wind was lightly blowing as we crossed the trackwhere several had lost their lives, either having their car hit by a train orsimply were hit while walking, like the twins that were killed at the crossingby the school. Crystalwas the first to see it when we turned back to wave at Eric and Stephanie. Herhand froze in mid-air. “We have to get off the track.”

I couldsee it…it was really there, but there was no sound or vibration on the track.

To be continued nextFriday……..

Find it at http://www.hellfirepublishing.com/

and on Smashword and soon on Amazon!

Just wanted to share a bit from the book with you all...This is one of my all time favorite projects and it is a mini series so several other books will follow. Take a walk with Jade you will never forget it. ; )

Synopsis

Hell had no idea what kind of creature it held, until she found a way to escape its fiery grip. Jade had taken her fill of being the hand -madden to the keeper of hell himself, often finding herself in the bed of his son to steal the secrets that would set her free. Now on the run from the Grim Reaper, she gains her strength from the flesh and blood of the day walkers. It’s one of those very beings that she takes compassion on that puts her on a different walk that could very well place her on a path that no blood demon would follow.

Excerpt:

The demon opened its lipless mouth and screamed, throwing black, foul smelling slime all over Jade’s face. She turned her head and kicked out, hitting the disgusting being in its midsection. As it doubled over, Jade brought her blade down on the back of its deformed head. The creature dropped to the ground as the silver orb sank back into the sidewalk. The demon’s corpse turned to ash and blew away with the rest of the garbage. Jade gathered herself, knowing the son of sin wouldn’t be far behind.

“Hey lady, you lookin’ for a good time?” a slender, young boy asked.

“Not from you, little boy. You are no more than a mouth full.”

“I’ll do anything you want, and I’ll do it for a twenty.”

“Go home,” she snapped.

“I am home, lady. You won’t find anything better out here. I’ll do you for ten.”

“Get the hell away from me, kid. You do not want to taste my pleasures.” Jade pushed him with more force than she meant to use, knocking him to the ground.

As Jade walked away from the filth incrusted boy, she reached into her pocket, then threw a fifty at him. Seeing a child on the streets was no concern of a she devil like Jade, not even in the worst of situations. Or so she thought. She looked back to see three older boy’s kicking the one who propositioned her just moments before and taking the money she had given him. She smiled and shook her head. Dinner was going to be something of a three course meal

The Haunting of Atoka

By Robin Renee Ray

In memory of the things that really happened with a small twist of fiction to give it that extra haunted feel.

*********

Driving down the highway a few miles from the town of Artesia, New Mexico and seeing the old school put a desire in me that didn’t go away until I found out more about it. Before long, its tales of true horror had me visiting late in the dark of night, finding my way with a few friends and daughter was more of a challenge than most. The whole place was braced with a six foot chain-link fence that had multiple warnings to those who dare trespass. The Government had taken over some twenty year prior and they held a stiff penalty for all who crossed its barrier. But that wasn’t about to stop me.

About a quarter mile from the school, many years after it had closed, three men were beat almost to death in 1952 and dragged to the railroad tracks to suffer a horrid, unimaginable fate. They had been working the fields around the school to send money home to their families in Mexico. All three died for mere pennies. It seemed that the old track had taken many lives through the years and all right close to that old Atoka school.

“I think we should go out there tonight,” I said, watching Kysha and her friend Meg’s eye grow.

“I wanna go,” Crystal, my neighbor, chimed in.

“We have to wear all black because if we see any type of vehicle we are gonna have to hide like we never have before,” I smiled, more than ready for the night to fall.

“What if we get caught?” Crystal asked, rubbing her hands together showing she was already nervous.

“You may get caught, but I won’t,” I laughed. “They’ll never find me.”

“I’m sticking with you, mom,” Kysha quickly added.

“Me too,” Crystal and Meg concurred at the same time.

“Then you better be ready to run like hell, because I will be out in the woods so fast that you won’t see me move.” I winked at Kysha.

At nine that night, we were dressed like misfit Ninjas in our head-to-toe black outfits. All were overly excited, until we drove past the old school and parked down a side road beside the railroad track. That’s when some started showing signs of wanting to change their minds. It was too late, I wasn’t going back the three miles to town just to turn around and come back. We were there and I was going in.

The appearance of the old school showed it had been a long time since any living soul had made their way into its lonely halls. We found a breech in the chain-link fence and made our way to the side of the school where we found a broken window to crawl through. I had been to many a spooky places but this gave me chills before my feet hit the debris covered floor.

“Why can’t we use the flashlight?” Crystal asked, sucked up as close to my back as she could get.

“Because, it might be seen by a car on the highway. If you do use your lights, then cup your hand over the top, but when I say turn them off—do it,” I explained as my eyes took in all the doors and halls that we would soon venture into.

Walking in a tight group, which drove me crazy, we turned down the first hall. I took the group into a class room to our right, which had six or seven desks spread out from years past. There was another door across the room, which we passed through into another hall that looked just like the one we had come down, also covered in debris. We went a ways, turning down a shorter hall that ended in dark shadows with no way to go but the way we had come. Strange sounds broke out and scared many in the group, so we thought we would go back and try going the other way in hopes of making it to the large gym that stood like a skeletal ghost at the back of the school.

We all stood in shock when we reached the classroom that we had moments before passed through. The desk were no longer spread out, but now stacked in front of the door across the room.

“I’m scared,” Crystal said, grabbing the back of my shirt. “Who did this?” I didn’t reply because I didn’t know. We found another class and crossed with caution since the floor was all but rotted.

“This can’t be the same hall we came down,” Kysha acknowledged, right as I had taken notice of the very same thing.

“We didn’t go that far, it has to be,” Meg added, flipping on her flashlight.

“No way, this can’t be right,” Crystal said with tears in her eyes.

“It just looks different because we didn’t come down this far,” I tried to explain, knowing for a fact that it wasn’t the same hall. That’s when we heard what sounded like two little girls laughing.

“I wanna go home, now,” Crystal said, stepping in so close that I could feel her breath.

“What was that?” Meg asked, stepping closer to Kysha, who was standing beside me.

“It might be the twins that were killed down the road,” I replied. “They were hit by the train walking home from this school.” I have to admit, I was trying to give them a good scare by bringing up the tales that were held strong by the old-timers that told them. Something in the hall at our back crashed to the floor and we bolted, looking for our way out. I knew the girls’ fear was bringing out the beast of the old school. The rumors were more than just talk and we were finding out first hand.

To be continued next Friday…..

Synopsis

Not once in her life did farm girl Renee Crocker, imagine she would encounter a world found only in the minds of myth-seeking men. Although the things they sought were not always unheard of in the 1930’s in other parts of the world, life was just too harsh in the small Texas community, to pay mind to anything other than raising a healthy crop to ensure the survival of one’s family. But late one evening during supper, a stranger comes knocking on the door of the Crocker family farm house and is invited inside.

It doesn’t take long for Renee to discover a great number of things that people in her neck of the woods couldn’t even contemplate. The dark of night takes on a whole new meaning, and the once vulnerable young country woman finds herself struggling to survive in a world that demands she live forever in darkness.

Excerpt

When I awoke, the four of them were in what seemed to be a heavy discussion. I could tell it was about Martin and me, because the instant they noticed I was awake, the conversation stopped and they all turned my direction.

“Oh, you’re awake. How does your arm feel?” Rebecca asked.

“It’s better, thank you. Um, is there a problem?” I asked, looking from her to the men.

“No, everything is fine. We just had a small disagreement, it’s nothing to worry yourself about,” she said.

I didn’t know what was going on, but I wasn’t about to ask in the presence of the three men. I just wanted to be gone from here. I knew Martin was already looking for me, I could feel it. Even if he wasn’t I knew it wouldn’t be long until he was.

“So, where do we go from here? Did ya’ll find a car?” I asked.

“Yes,” Rebecca answered. “Ronny has one ready outside.”

“Then can we leave? He’s looking for me, I know it,” I said.

Omar looked at Rebecca and gave her a small smile, one you wouldn’t notice unless you were looking straight at him. I didn’t try to question his antics; I just got up and started for the stairs. I didn’t have any intention of having a conversation with the likes of Omar, even if I did want to know what that little smirk was all about. He made my skin crawl the first time he opened his mouth, and has had my nerves on edge ever since.

We all loaded in the vehicle, and traveled throughout the night, stopping only to steal gas. No one spoke much, though Rebecca asked how I was several times. Along our way, we found abandoned houses to seek refuge from the day, even staying in a cramped little crypt in a rundown cemetery. We were usually crowded, but once the sun came up, it didn’t really matter where we slept. The days and nights passed uneventfully. On the fourth night as we were huddled in a dank cellar, the pain in my stomach returned with a vengeance.

“She needs to feed. We don’t need her weak,” Omar told Rebecca.

“No!” I cried out. “I won’t hurt another person, I can’t.”

Omar opened his mouth as if to say something, but Rebecca grabbed his arm.

“We will teach her to feed without taking life. That is Martin’s way, not ours,” she said looking at me. “We can show you how to survive without causing harm to a normal. Even animals can serve us well.”

I thought about it for a moment before agreeing. “Ok, then I’ll feed. I don’t want to slow us down, and give that bastard a chance to catch up. I would rather die than go back with him,” I said.

I knew that was only part truth. Despite everything, I missed him, or at least some part of me did. The other part wanted his neck hanging from a noose. I could still feel the kiss…our last kiss. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have thought it was real? Just another of his tricks, I told myself. The neigh of a goat brought me back to reality. I looked up the cellar stairs to see Ronny and Marcos peering down with a brown and white goat between them.

“Anyone ready for breakfast?” Marcos laughed.

The rest of us made our way up, and when we surfaced, Ronny pulled out a blade like I had never seen. “What are you going to do with that?” I asked.

“It’s better to get the blood flowing than trying to bite,” he said. “They‘re to dirty for my taste, if you get my meaning.”

“Oh, I see...”

“I prefer the blood of a normal,” Omar interrupted. “This is beneath me,” he said disgustedly.

“Shut up, Omar,” Rebecca demanded angrily. “You know this is our way now.”

Omar puffed out his chest, but didn’t say another word. It was obvious he had more to say, but her look stopped him before he could open his mouth. Instead, he clenched his jaws, and left the room. Marcos, with a tin cup in hand, looked to Ronny who then sliced through the goat’s throat. The gurgling noises that followed were enough to make me want to leave the room as well, but I stayed where I was.

Marcos filled the cup to the top and handed it to me.

“Ladies first,” he said.

I took it, sloshing the blood causing it to run down the side of the cup and over my fingers. I licked my lips and reluctantly took a sip. The taste was wonderful. I gulped down the viscous fluid, trying not to leave a single drop. The pain was gone the moment the blood hit my stomach. I handed Marcos the cup and greedily licked my fingers clean, as I thanked them in-between the very un-lady like spectacle. When everyone had, had their share, we were off again.

“We will reach the ocean sometime tonight,” Rebecca said. “Then the real journey will begin.”

A Story You Can Sink Your Teeth Into!

Robin Renee Ray-Blood Breeders

Robin Renee Ray's imagination has run wild with Blood Breeders. Ray honed a truly intriguing tale filled with terror, suspense, sex, and human bondage with a great deal of intense storytelling that leaves your emotions on edge! Think "Cinderella" meets "Beauty and the Beast" as an adult tale told with great enthusiasm and vigor. Ms. Ray has pulled out all the stops to give us a story that raises the heart rate of any good soul. Parts of it I read numerous times to ponder the story all over again. Tasty! Read the story and find yourself under Robin Renee Ray's spell. You have been warned! There is no turning back!

Joe L. Blevins author of The Familiar

By Close Encounters with the Night Kind –

This review is from: Living in Darkness (Bloodbreeders)

Robin Renee takes us on a dazzling journey through the growth of the recently turned vampire Renee Crocker. Leading a sheltered life on a small farm, Renee was unprepared for the beautiful stranger that showed up at her parents’ house. It wasn't uncommon for people to stop by for a few days or even stay on a whole season to work the fields. Her father never turned anyone away and had a bunk house set up for travelers. But in her 26 years of life, no one had ever stirred anything in her like Martin. Dressed in a suit, unlike most of the travelers, he shows up one night just as the family is sitting down for dinner. He politely declines the invitation to dinner only wishing to rest for the night. Renee is sent to the bunkhouse to bring him a plate and some blankets. She is hypnotized by his presence and stutters nervously as she hands him the items with a blush developing on her cheeks. Martin is enchanted and recalls what brought him here in the first place. He has big plans for this small town beauty. It’s just too bad he can't tell her til after he’s done.

This was a really great book. I was sucked into the plot just from the prologue and couldn't wait to get started. And once I started the book, I couldn't put it down! It takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride…you laugh…you cry…your heart breaks, then bleeds and finally starts getting put back together again. Robin Renee does a great job of creating a whole new world of vampires for readers to get lost in! Ann Rice fans need to point their radar this way!

By Jennifer Malone Wright –

This review is from: Living in Darkness (Bloodbreeders)

When I first began Bloodbreeders: Living in Darkness I really didn't know what to expect. I sat down to read it and the first forty pages or so I read at a normal pace, after that I could barely put it down. I even read the darn thing while I was walking on my treadmill!

This book is about a farm girl named Renee Crocker who is changed into a creature of the night by a stranger who visited their farm. Renee, being recently changed is quite naive of their ways, but she is also headstrong and brave.

This is not one of those books that you read when something almost happens to someone and then they suddenly get away or they are all the sudden saved before the bad thing happens. Believe me, bad things happen in this book. There were so many times when I found myself cringing in expectation even as I turned the pages anxiously.

Robin Renee Ray takes you on a journey with Renee Crocker and makes you feel like you are right there with Renee. I really liked the storyline and how her vampires are a bit different from your average that you read about. In this book though, the word vampire isn't found anywhere. So I will say creatures of the night.

However, as much as I enjoyed the story I was quite upset when I got to the last page. It's freaking wide open for the next book. I mean there is no way this book is a stand-alone because there will be another one. There has to be! When the next in the Bloodbreeders series comes out I will be one of the first in line to see if Renee gets what she is after.

Living in Darkness (Bloodbreeders)

Robert M

"Bloodbreeders" will tug on your every emotion! You will feel so much love and admiration for the strengths and determination that this young girl possesses. You will cry through her adversities and cheer through her abilities of overcoming the impossible...but most of all; you will fall in love with Renee Crocker! I enjoyed this book so much when I first read it, that I cannot wait til the series is in my hand! Excellent read! Fast paced...Never Dull, true "on the edge of your seat" suspense! Originally written and a must have for your collection! "Bloodbreeders" will leave you begging for more...

Christie Silvers: 5 Star’s

Another great story from the talented Robin Renee Ray. I can't wait to ready the next installment of this fast-paced series.

The heroine, Renee Crocker, is a country gal as strong as (or stronger than) most men. Although too trusting in the beginning, Renee quickly learns the world outside her home town is fraught with dangers and the monsters who enjoy inflicting pain.

I see the beginnings of an intriguing and enjoyable series of books and look forward to enjoying many more tales of the life of Renee Crocker.

Friday Frights: The Conclusion to: Haunted Dares

2011-09-23T04:00:00.000-06:00

The Conclusion

Cindy started crawling back on hands and heels, reaching out to grab Franny’s arm. She responded with a jump before getting up and pulling Cindy to her feet. The force that fed on Ricky cared nothing about the two that ran around it and up the staircase. Fanny looked back, halfway up as the form tossed Ricky’s sunk in, dried corpse across the foyer. “Go, go, go!” she yelled as the thing turned and took a heavy step toward the staircase.

It seemed that the being, which resembled a skinless human with a deformed body, was still hungry. Its arms were morbidly long and fat, its center a blob of round red liquid and legs that were offset twisted around the wrong way. When it took the first step Cindy screamed from the upper landing. The veins that made up its backwards feet lightened as the being applied pressure to take the next step. The more its form came to life, the harder it was for it to move.

“Go away!” Cindy screamed bending over the banister.

Franny grabbed the back of her shirt and went into the same room she had awoken in the night before. She slammed the door as Cindy ran to the board covered window and began trying to yank them off to absolutely no avail. “He’ll never let you leave.”

“Help me,” Cindy cried, as she kicked at the boards. ‘We gotta get out. Ricky’s dead.”

Franny laughed, shocking Cindy into freezing in her actions and had her turning back to look at her friend. “He needs to feed.”

“What are you talking about, Franny?”

“He’s coming for you, Cindy,” Franny smiled as she walked closer to her. “He’s almost to the top of the staircase. Your life will not go to waste; you will give substance to a great Demon that has been waiting for such a long time. The homeless man they found in the tree fed his needs and was his last warm meal.”

“You’ve lost your mind,” Cindy pushed past her and opened the door. Her scream echoed through the large empty house as the being latched onto her face. Her shell dropped from the now fully shaped webbed hands. Its flesh was a dark gray mass of twisting organs that belonged to others. “Bring them to me,” it hissed, spewing slime and the same black fog that had come from Franny’s mouth. The darkness consumed her once again in the shape of a beast from hell itself. “Bring them to me.”

***

Her hair was a different color and cut close to the top of her shoulders, and she carried a very different demeanor than before she’d entered the old McGregor home. Franny had changed schools and started making new friends, many of which enjoyed exploring the spooky old haunts of years gone by.

“I know about a place not too far from here,” Franny smiled, her eyes glowing for a brief second while the students around the kitchen table made plans to visit an old abandoned two story.

New story next Friday…The Haunting of Atoka…Based on true happenings with a tad bit added for juicing up the tale. ; )

                                                           Haunted Dares

                                      By Robin Renee Ray

                                             Part Three

Franny woke to the sounds of her own moaning. Pain shot through her stomach like she had been slammed into by a freight train. A pale light crept through the wooden planks on the window giving Fanny a view of a room where she’d not yet been. She gained her focus and sat up using her elbows to hold her upper body up off the floor. Morbid shock took hold when she saw her shirt ripped from the bottom hem to the collar, her stomach smeared in red gore. Franny frantically wiped at the red lines that went from her bellybutton to the bottom of her ribcage.

“Bring them to me.” The hiss brushed by her ear.

“Please,” she raised her hand to something she couldn’t see.

“Bring them to me.”

The sound in the tainted air fell silent. Franny rolled to her side and threw up. She got to her feet, the pain now pounding in her head, and made her way out onto the landing at the top of the staircase. Confusion of how she ended up where she was gripped her emotion like a tight fist and she cried all the way down into the living room where she found her belongings strewn about the whole area. The candles were nothing more than a melted blob stuck to the floor. Her blanket hung from the light fixture in the middle of the ceiling and pages from her book coated the already debris-covered floor. She left it all but the overnight bag and her jacket and walked to the front door.

“Please open,” she whispered as she turned the knob.

It opened and she stepped out into the coming dawn. Franny put on her jacket and started down the steps as her friends came driving up the road. She closed her torn shirt, taking on a different composure the moment they turned into the overgrown driveway. Ricky was the first to get out, with Cindy close behind. “I told she would stay all night,” Cindy said running up to her. “He stayed up all night waiting for you to call.”

“Bullshit, I did not,” Ricky pouted. “Maybe I stayed up because I was worried?”

“You are so full of it, Ricky. You were hoping she wouldn’t do it so you wouldn’t have to…but guess what?”

“It was fun,” Franny said with a full smile adorning her face. “I think we should all stay tonight. You’ll never forget it.”

“What happened to your shirt?” Cindy grabbed her jacket sleeve and turned Franny for a better look.

“I told you I should have brought extra clothes. It got caught on a nail,” Franny lied.

“Greg and Butch won’t come, they’re going to Beverly’s party. Hell, I’d be going to if we didn’t have this stupid bet,” Ricky complained, looking back at the old McGregor home.

“You two should work,” Franny added as she got into the car.

“Do what?” Cindy asked getting in behind her.

“Oh, nothing, I just need a good bath. I can’t wait to come back, you’ll really like this place.”

Ricky picked up Franny and Cindy at six thirty that night. They had slept through the day—all but Franny who sat on her bed staring out into space. She didn’t answer her dorm room phone until Ricky called, as if she knew who was on the other end. Cindy rummaged through her bag while Ricky drove in silence, something he never did. She pulled out a recorder, elbowing Franny and nodding her head toward Ricky. Franny looked down at it, then half smiled, turning to look back out the window, watching as the top of the old two story came into view.

“If either one of you try anything stupid, I will leave you out here,” Ricky said as he pulled into the drive and right up to the front steps.

“Need a quick getaway?” Cindy asked, then burst out laughing.

The three got out, Ricky and Cindy with their bags in their hands. Franny stood looking up at the second floor. Ricky bumped her, handing her the same overnight bag she’d had the night before. She took it and was the first to walk up the steps. The door opened with ease. Franny couldn’t control the laughter when she saw all the candles whole again, sitting by her blanket with her History book lying closed on it with all of it’s pages intact.

“What’s so funny? This place is uber freaky,” Cindy asked, putting her bag down by the blanket.

“Nothing, I was just wondering where I left my book.” The glint in her eyes gave Cindy the chills. “Thought I left it up there.” She turned in the oval shaped entrance to the living room and pointed at the staircase.

“You went up there?” Ricky stuttered.

“That’s where I woke up this morning,” Franny scratched her stomach.

Three hours later, the three were gathered around the light of the candles, which had just hours before been melted down to nothing but a blob of wax on the floor. Just like the night before, something moved on the floor above their heads.

“What the fuck was that?” Ricky grabbed his bag and pulled out a flashlight and a small handgun. He then stood and started walking toward the foyer.

“That won’t do you any good,” Franny said, doubling over and clutching her stomach.

“Franny, what’s wrong?” Cindy got to her knees beside her.

A guttural cry escaped as a black fog flew from Franny’s mouth, past Cindy and right at Ricky who was turning to see what was happening. The black fog dissipated as the gun went flying across the room and Ricky’s feet came off the floor. His mouth opened in a silent scream; his lips pressed back against his teeth. His arms swung wildly as he tried to free himself from the invisible mass that was covering his face and crushing his throat.

The girls looked up and both screamed, Franny wondering how Cindy and Ricky ended up in the house with her. She wiped the black gore from her lips and grabbed Cindy’s arm. Ricky began making gurgling sounds as a red fluid flowed from his mouth, nose and eyes, into something that was taking on a form of its own, coming to life with Ricky’s substance.

To be continued next Friday….

                                     Haunted Dares

                                By Robin Renee Ray

                                         Part Two

The threat of another scream balanced at the base of her throat, teetering over the edge as her free hand came up to hold it in. Black shadows danced around the room to the tune of her flashlight. The pulsating, pitch black cloud that sank back into the wood of the ceiling the second her eyes made contact had nothing to do with the glow of light that illuminated from her shaky hand. The beam of the flashlight swept up and over the web and dust coated ceiling but nothing else was there. “Get a grip,” she said thinking about the sound she had heard. Animals like raccoons and squirrels came to the front of her mind while the images of ghostly thoughts kept peaking around the corner.

Candles the size of a large glasses sat in a row of four in front of Franny’s pallet, giving the living room a warmer feel and easing the fine tremble that just would not subside. She had taken out her History book to study for an exam she had the following week. The chocolate chip granola bars sat on the corner of the blanket by a bottle of water. Franny was up using a stray board to push the debris on the floor away from the area she had made for herself. It was the thought of spiders and scorpions that had a fine sheen of sweat on her upper lip and several shivers going down her spine every time the bits of wallpaper came up off the floor in a dense cloud of dust.

“What the hell?” Franny’s mouth dropped to an oval shape when she turned and saw her History book lying open. The sound of her sucking in a sharp breath bounced off of the walls when she saw her bottle of water sitting in the middle of the foyer. Her head began to shake back and forth. The bottle tilted over on its side and rolled back through the living room entrance. “Alright, who’s in here?” she yelled, then fell silent waiting to hear one of her friends laughing. What she got was a hissing that flew by her ear on a gust of phantom wind.

Franny leaped forward in an attempt to go to the front door, but rethought and stopped beside her things in the center of the room. Who—or what—had moved her things was somewhere past the opening to the foyer. She cleared her throat while gripping the piece of wood in one hand as she leaned down and picked up one of the candles. “You guys aren’t funny.” No sooner than the words left her mouth the candle was knocked from her hand. Franny screamed and ran for the door only to be stopped with an unseen grip on her neck.

Her feet came off the floor while she desperately clawed at the hand that wasn’t there. The impressions on her flesh said otherwise as the grip grew tighter. Her eyes filled with tears and her mouth hung open while the treat of unconsciousness filled her very core. “Bring them to me,” an evil voice hissed, right before she crashed to a heap on the floor. Franny held her throat as she cried, looking around for something that couldn’t be seen. On wobbly legs she made her way to the front door, only to find herself trapped. She yanked several times then slid down the door, facing the empty room. The light from her candles gave the only comfort in the frightful situation. Until they, too, began to go out, one by one.

“No,” she cried and rushed to get her flashlight that had been placed back in her overnight bag.

She reached for the bag and it flew across the room. A firm mass hit her on the side of the face so hard she went sprawling on the floor right beside it. “I’m sorry…I’m sorry,” she yelled, holding her face in one hand and waving the other wildly. “Please Mr. McGregor, I swear I didn’t mean any harm.” A deep guttural laugh echoed throughout the house from basement to attic, sending a violent rush of chills over Franny’s body. She quickly shuffled over on hands and knees and snatched up the flashlight.

“He was absorbed years ago, you stupid human.” The voice spoke as the vibration of its laughter died down.

“I don’t understand…I just wanna go home.”

“Bring them to me.”

Its words were the last she heard as another forceful punch knocked her into a world of darkness.

FRIDAY FRIGHTS...Story One Part One

2011-09-02T04:00:00.025-06:00

                                              Haunted Dares
                             By Robin Renee Ray


                                    Part One

Fear laid the ground work on the rhythm of Franny’s beating heart. Every step she took toward the old two story haunted house made her wish she had never taken the bet. The car lights disappeared in the gloomy depths of dust and the setting sun, leaving her to pay for saying she could stay the night in the old McGregor house—a house that hadn’t had a living occupant in over twenty years, not since the night of the gruesome murders of the whole McGregor family. The three children were found in their beds, all with sliced throats and bound hands. Mr. and Mrs. McGregor were found in the basement. Both had been decapitated and their bodies were mutilated in what the authorities could only claim to be a ritualistic killing.

Some ten years later, a homeless man was found hanging by the neck in a tree in the back yard, which at first glance looked like a suicide, until upon closer inspection it proved he had no organs left in his open torso. The killer had gutted him then replaced his shirt over an opening that had already dried. His insides were never found. The harder Franny tried not to think on the past events of the McGregor home, the more horrid thoughts flowed in.

“This is so stupid,” she mumbled as she took the first step that led up to a wrap-around porch.

It was eerily quiet, not even the insects sang their night tune near the old abandoned house. The only home near was the one at the end of the dirt road, a half a mile away, that led to the one Franny was now contemplating on going into. Her hand shook as she laced her fingers over the smooth round white doorknob, her breath freezing in her chest. The door opened with ease. “Hello?” she called out. “I better not get an answer,” she whispered as she dug the flashlight out of her overnight bag. She then pulled her cell phone out of her coat pocket and let out the breath she was holding when she saw she had full reception.

A dank moldy smell attacked her senses as she walked no more than two steps in. Franny coughed and it echoed through the large empty foyer. She closed the front door and with an extreme discomfort, forced herself to move to the middle of the foyer so she could see the rooms on both sides. All of the doorways were arched in a dome shape and wider than most. The staircase opened wide at the bottom then tapered in at the top with a dark wooden banister that hid her view of the top floor. The light that hung in the middle was made of both wood and brass and layered in cobwebs. Most of the wallpaper had peeled from the walls in patches that now blanketed the floor, giving the room an odd mirror image feel. All of the windows stood bare save the boards that were nailed over the outside.

Without thinking, Fanny walked back to the front door and flipped the light switch, then laughed at her own silly actions. Her cell phone rang and she screamed, then immediately covered her mouth, frightful that anything unnatural would answer. The rumors that grew over the years had all who dared visit the old home thinking that it was fear filled emotions that got you murdered for trespassing. Franny flipped the cell phone open on the third ring.

“Hello?”

“I’m going to rip your guts out,” a male voice said, before he burst out laughing.

“You guys can come pick me up right now if you’re breaking the rules,” Franny replied.

“I was just kidding.”

“This place is bad enough without any of you trying to push the freak buttons. We had a deal that I would do this as long as no one did anything to make me think this place is really haunted.”

“I’ll stick to the bet, but you better pay up if you walk out before morning.”

“How would you even know, Ricky? All of you better be heading back to town.”

“We can see the lights right now. Have you even made it inside yet?”

“As soon as you guys drove away. I told you I wasn’t afraid of those stupid rumors, and I’ll have fifty dollars and your new leather jacket when the sun comes up.”

“No way, the bet is if you do it and don’t get murdered, then I have a chance to stay and get what you offered.”

“They were gonna try and scare you, Franny,” her friend Cindy yelled out.

“Give her the phone, Ricky,” Franny demanded.

“Mouth,” Rick said as he handed the phone over the back of the seat.

“Don’t worry Fran, no one is leaving my house until we come to pick you up,” Cindy popped Ricky on the back of the head. “Prick face tried to talk us into parking up the road and then walk back and do things to scare you out of the bet. I say he’s hoping you won’t do it so he doesn’t have to.”

“Bullshit, she knows what she bet and no way in hell am I afraid of anything,” Ricky yelled out and Franny shook her head.

“I should have never told Ricky that I would go on a date if I lost the bet,” Franny was speaking when her cell phone beeped once and went dead. “Hello? You there?”

The relief of knowing that Cindy was going to be keeping an eye on the only other people that knew she was staying the night was a huge weight lifted off of her shoulders. Franny slowly made her way into the living room and was about to spread the small blanket she brought on the floor, when she heard something move upstairs. The ramped rhythm of her heart had her lips tingling. The beam on the flashlight took on a vibration as her head went slowly back and her eyes grew wide.

To be continued next Friday….

Friday Frights ... A year long weekly tale of twisted frights.

2011-08-27T08:28:00.000-06:00

Friday Frights is a running series of short horror stories that I am putting together in mini-weekly reads, to later bring them altogether in one years time and create the novel called Friday Frights. I write these as I go starting Sep 1st, with not knowning what will come to life until the following week. Each short read will be spread out through one month, unless of course, I go over and need that extra week to kill out the read...no pun intended.

I will be adding a few comments after each story, with the commenters name, in the book that will be submitted. So be sure to leave a good one and add those things that have made you go jump in the dark. ; )

The first portion of Friday Frights will began the first Friday in September....They will be graphic at times and always filled with some form of blood, gut and gore. There will be a special page on this blogspot for FF and the stories will also be placed on the main page.

Going to be hiding for a while..LOL

2011-08-23T09:45:00.000-06:00

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am going to be gone, into my work, for a while and won't be posting or blogging or anything like it. I have several novels to finish and a few short stories to write. I just have loads to do and need to put time in on my things that I have been putting off....and I have no clue why I feel the need to complete these, they will more than likely just stay in my dust pile..LOL But I won't have them in my head any longer. ; )

I'm really looking forward to going out of town to complete my Bloodbreeders series. So, if no one hears from me for a while, that's where I will be...with no internet, cell phone reception, no house phone and very few people and none that will bug me. ; ) Of course, that time won't come until after the first and I am counting the days. When your not needed that's the time to get away and write them fingers off!!!!

Have a great week!

2011-07-13T14:38:00.000-06:00

Hey Guys,

I have done gone and lost my mind. Yep, I did an interview with the Hellfire Herald and did something so silly you have to see it to believe it. I am always saying, "I'm doing my Snoopy Dance"...well, they have it on Video..LOL

Grand-Baby Day! WooHoo!!!

2011-07-10T22:37:00.000-06:00

My little dolls will be here in a few hours to spend the day and night...it's my favorite time of the week!

The oldest, Akasha, who was name after our favorite book/movie vampire is living up to her name..LOL She is my little question asker and the one who will answer the question if you don't come up with something to her liking. She loves horror movies and at 5 will hand me Night of the Living Dead and ask if we can watch it as our bedtime show. Akasha is also the co-author to our children's book The Tale of Two Toodlegnomes a series coming out with Hellfire Publishing very soon. Just saw the cover and it is too cute!

Shya the youngest is my little tom-boy who is having a hard time saying a few letter and because of that gets a load of giggles when she starts telling a story. That little girl is my handful, I can say no and she will wait until I'm not looking and do whatever I told her not to, anyway..LOL Both love books and that's a huge plus...both parents read daily so Akasha at 5 can read anything you place in front of her. Shya at three is sounding out words. I was never a reader until later in life, so it is wonderful seeing my peeps with a book in hand.

The girls are my muse and my down fall when it comes to getting my work done. If I think I can get them for the night or even a few hours, I am making that call. At times they are here three or four days out of the week and several nights...which I love. They're only little for so long and you never get lost memories back. The way that I look at it, I can write when they have other things to do.

Have a great week...mine will start with playing in the pool then more than likely making mud pies with the grands..LOL

Big hugs~

I have my tickets to the other great things that will be going on at the conference and am over the top to be attending the Undead Con 2. The best part for me will be visiting the Cemeteries that the funds from the book auction will be helping to rebuild. All who know me, knows I love to visit and spend time in Cemeteries!

I also have my floor length Ball gown that is black leather with a lace up corset back...yep, me in any form of a dress is a shocking thought..LOL I still need my gloves and shoes, but all in all I am ready for the month of October.

Bad Moon Rising Over Oz

By: Keira Kroft

Bad moon rising over Oz is a version of The Wizard of Oz like nothing you’ve ever read before... And is not for the squeamish or the weak. Auntie Em has made a deal with the devil. She gave up her niece, Dorothy’s soul in return for a plentiful harvest. Em was smart and worked a clause into the contract… Satan could only have Dorothy’s soul in death, but she must also agree to meet the dark lord himself and shake his hand. Everything is going splendid until… A tornado strikes, killing Dorothy, hurdling her and Toto a shape-shifting Scottish terrier, into a beautiful land of happy midgets and bright flowers.

Unaware of her untimely demise or any satanic contract, she embarks on a journey through the Land of Oz, seeking the great wizard in hopes that he will return her home. As Dorothy unwittingly marches through hell, she begins to notice that nothing and no one is what it seems and there is no turning back… There is indeed a bad moon rising over OZ.

Oh, Deer

By: Savannah Rayne

Jacob Ellis and his wife Donna live in the north woods of Wisconsin. Like most young couples, they have hobbies they enjoy. Jacob likes the outdoors, choosing four-wheeling and hunting as his forms of relaxation. Donna loves cooking, but her true passion is working in her flower garden. That is until her labor of love becomes nothing more than a colorful, tasty treat for the white-tailed deer, who share their surroundings. One night the pair experience more than the typical four legged visitor to their yard. The evening sets the path for Jacob’s decision to go against nature. After hearing a legend passed down through generations of the Chippewa Indian’s, Jacob must now decide if it’s just a myth or a lesson in the balance of law and justice— between people and nature.

A Criminal

BIO....

I was born and raised in the big city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am the oldest child in a family of three children. Reading has been part of my life as far back as I can remember. It seems I always had books around and read anything I could get my hands on. I would go to the library two or three times a week. My library card was one of my most cherished possessions. My dad introduced me to the classics Call of the Wild and White Fang by Jack London when I was nine years old. I was an excellent student and by the time I was in the fifth grade, my reading and comprehension was at a second year college level. The first five years of schooling, I attended a Catholic school. My mom passed away when I was 11 years old, with my dad then enrolling us in the public school system. Through middle school and high school, I was consistently on the honor roll and I pretty much carried a 4.00 GPA. Besides reading, my extra curricular activities were volleyball, basketball, and the psychology club. I also worked on the high school yearbook for two years.

Once I reached those wonderful teenage years, I wouldn’t get grounded in the typical way where I couldn’t go out or use the telephone, (ok, sometimes I got those too, lol) I got grounded from going to the library! To emphasize his point, my dad would also take the books out of my room. It was shear torture let me tell you. If I really messed up (even seemingly smart teenagers do that) it was all of the above and he also took away my music. I never let that happen very often, lol. Reading and music seem to go, hand in hand for me. Both help me relax and bring me such enjoyment. With so many genres in each area, it’s really the best of both worlds.

Horror books became my first love during those years. This also carried over into the types of movies I preferred. For many decades, I’ve had an on going love affair with anything horrific. The scarier something was, the more I loved it.

In my early twenties, I also started reading romance books just to break up the monotony. Historical romance soon became my new favorite. But alas, all the romantic love triangles and happily ever after endings became too much for me, so back to the dark side I seemed to go.

While raising my children I entered the child care field. Initially I did certified in home child care, which allowed me to be able to be at home when my children needed me. It was a win/win situation for everyone.

I also introduced my children to the world of books. It started with Dr. Seuss when they were little but then went to R. L. Stine. Even though my children were young, I’d let them watch scary movies. I didn’t want kids who were afraid of every little thing that went bump in the night. While in grade school they loved Freddy Krueger and Jason, lol. To this day, they still enjoy a good spooky movie. Today, my daughter and I recommend books to each other and then share our opinion on the story. My son doesn’t have the time to read quite as much as he use to.

In 2006 I relocated to a new area and took a job working in a day care center. I started as a temporary substitute working part time and with in a few weeks I was offered a full time assistant teaching position. I also took the necessary classes to become a lead teacher. A year later I had my own classroom of children who were, four and five years old.

Now at 48 years old, I have been bitten by the writing bug! I have several books I'm working on at the moment and am excited to have my very first piece Oh, Deer being published by Hellfire Publishing. It just goes to show you're never too old to try something new :)

I've also become a Grandma for the first time! I look forward to lots of snuggle time with my new grandson as well as spoiling him. I even started a blog that highlights all those wonderful events : )

I think I will always have a book that needs reading or a story that needs to be told. I’m the type of person who has two or three books going at once. Whether it’s a romance with a bit of history in it, a mystery that I want to solve before the final chapter or a horror story that leaves me sleeping with the lights on, books will always be a huge part of me and my life.

BLURB:

Jacob Ellis and his wife Donna live in the north woods of Wisconsin. Like most young couples, they have hobbies they enjoy. Jacob likes the outdoors, choosing four-wheeling and hunting as his forms of relaxation. Donna loves cooking, but her true passion is working in her flower garden. That is until her labor of love becomes nothing more than a colorful, tasty treat for the white-tailed deer, who share their surroundings. One night the pair experience more than the typical four legged visitor to their yard. The evening sets the path for Jacob’s decision to go against nature. After hearing a legend passed down through generations of the Chippewa Indian’s, Jacob must now decide if it’s just a myth or a lesson in the balance of law and justice— between people and nature.

EXCERPT:

“Hey, you want anything?” Jacob asked as he passed her heading into the kitchen to get another beer from the fridge.

“Huh?” she muttered.

“I asked if you…” Jacob’s voice trailed off, as he got closer to the patio doors. He happened to glance out and was stunned by what he saw. “Holy shit,” he said, watching the deer in the yard. What got his attention was the number of them. There had to be a dozen or better.

“What’s the matter?”

“You should see all the deer out here,” Jacob responded. As he made the statement to his wife, the animals turned their attention to him. They must have heard him or maybe they caught sight of his movement. But Jacob had never seen a time where all the deer in a group turned their heads in perfect unison.

“Well, I have six of them right outside this window. A few minutes ago there were five or so outside the kitchen,” Donna explained to her husband. Unable to deal with the uneasy feeling of being watched she twirled the rod of the mini blind, shutting out the unwanted on-lookers. Something didn’t feel right to her. Living in the northern woods of Wisconsin all of her life, she was use to the critters who shared her surroundings. This however, gave her the creeps.

She sat down on the couch, grabbing the multi colored throw her grandmother had made for her a few years ago. She wasn’t sure if the sudden chill was caused from the falling temperature of the evening, or the freakiness of the situation.

Jacob moved to the window above the sink to peer out. Sure enough, the five doe’s were still there. And they were looking at him. What the hell was going on here? Jacob thought to himself. He quickly raised his arms and flailed them in front of the window. The deer didn’t move. Normally, any sudden movement would have sent the skittish animals running. But, not this time.

The darkness of night had now completely descended, making it harder to see the four legged visitors. The yard light over by the garage automatically came on and lit up the parking area quite well, but it did very little in the way of illuminating the area closer to the house. Deciding he’d seen enough, he turned heading to the refrigerator, when he noticed movement outdoors.

A large doe appeared from the shadows of the night, looking directly at Jacob. “Son of a bitch,” Jacob whispered so quietly that Donna didn’t hear him. The two stared at each other. Jacob transfixed on the eyes of the doe. At first he thought the glow of its eyes, were like that of any normal animal when reflected light caught them at a certain angle. The seconds ticked by in the visual confrontation, when the eyes of the doe changed to a glowing florescent green. Jacob was having a hard time understanding what he was witnessing. He stood there cemented with a mixture of curiosity and fear, as the intensity of the glowing neon color grew. Jacob remained there spellbound, as the deer took a step forward, then rearing up onto its hind legs.

Just sharing my new cover for Damnation: The Beginning...and a bit more!

2011-06-11T16:38:00.001-06:00

I LOVE it!!!!

This story tells of two humans who had done very bad things to end up as Demons in one of Hell's many realms. Only, horrid things had happen that made them choose the road that put them in the dark pit...they find each other and fall in love and then find their way out...back to the world above, gaining their human forms and running from the Hounds of Hell. Mary and John learn what it is to be normal again, while hiding from those who want nothing more than to take them back....

Damantion was put out with Damnation Books in 09' and has done very well so I thought it was time to tell how it all began and a bit more. There will be two more short/long reads to follow, telling the walk of Mary and John, along with the child they have, Kimberly...and how they survive in a world not meant for them anymore. And all trying to stay out of the grip of the Beast. Will they be forced to return to the Gates of Hell, or will they find a way to beat the crimes that they committed??? The biggest question that will be asked in this mini series is what will happen to their earth born child? Born of two Hell Bound Demons...Will she too be forced into slavery down below?

...........................................

On another note:

My short read: After Hours, another of my Demon reads has just been published with Hellfire Publishing and will be out very soon. I should have my new cover and will share it with an excerpt and blurb as soon as I get my gallery. It is one of my all time favorite short stories that also ran a bit long. When I say that, I mean most of my short reads run from 5 to 7k...these are anywhere from 8 to 10k because i just couldn't stop..LOL

That's about it for today...Have a wonderful weekend and great Big Hugs to you all~

Time to change the post..LOL

2011-05-31T18:13:00.000-06:00

Hi all...I left that last post up all month due to the running contest I had going on. I am over joyed to say good-bye and hello to something new.

Tonight I will be sitting down with my co-author and signing a contract for our children's series: The Tale of Two Toodlegnomes. Akasha L. McBee is the one who created all the characters, through several summers on vacation, with us playing with plastic swords and running around the blinking fireflies that danced around the dark night that gave way to our imaginations. We would wait until everyone else was asleep then we would take off into the night and find ourselves an adventure...one I later turned into pages that other's could enjoy.

Akasha is five and has been a reader since she was three. Leapfrog and an already smart kid does wonders! She has been reading her Bible for over a year and now reads books to her three year old sister...who is now showing signs of reading herself..LOL I just love it!!! They're my grands....

I also signed a 15 book contract with Hellfire Pubisling: My Bloodbreeders series: My Piper Vale series: Mine and Akasha's Toodlegnome series: Two fang and claw filled love stories...and one really wicked thriller. Gonna to be a very long and exciting ride...it's time to hold on...that's a hellofa-lot of editing..LOL

I have a short novel that will be released with Decadent this year...when, still not sure?

I also have a werewolf novel coming out next month with Vamptasy, where I also have several short horror reads.

The fun part is what I need to complete..writing and creating is something I crave doing. I will have to complete books one and two of the Toodlegnome series, and book five in my BB series. The rest is out of my way...other than edits, of course...those are the work part of being a writer. ;) I tell you...having a good editor behind you, means the world to getting through the work portion of a book. We as authors know more than anyone what is in our books, hell, we put it there. Having someone help find your mistakes is priceless!!!

Before I start correcting anymore books, or write another story...I am taking a small break. I am going fishing..LOL I plan on doing nothing but kicking back with maybe a cold one and letting my mind breathe. A few weeks after I get home I will be heading out again for a family vacation where the grands and I will begin book two in the Toodlegnomes series. This next month is all about the fun for me...those that need me, will be up a waterless creek..LOL There is no internet where I'm going...my Blackberry will be lucky to get a text. :)

Have a great week....

Big Hugs~

Huge Contest: Bloodbreeders: Living in Darkness and a Free E-Reader

2011-05-03T10:40:00.005-06:00

I am going to try and blow this contest out of the water this month. Hellfire Publishing is doing an all out author contest. The more Bloodbreeder: Living in Darkness is downloaded the more of a chance that I have at winning. No it’s not about the money. The E-Book is only a mere $4.99, it’s the point that this is the first time that I have had a whole manuscript in a full out contest. ;)

To everyone that downloads my book and sends me a paragraph from somewhere inside, and not the excerpt…I will do something even more special for ONE lucky winner, than give them a free download of: The Hellfire Book of Beltane…and the very first giveaway of the next book in the Bloodbreeders series: The Revenge…I will throw in a box filled with goodies. It could be filled with just about anything! It may even have a very special reader inside??? That’s right…I will add one kind or another of an e-reader to the box!!!

Just send that paragraph to: robinreneeray@hotmail.com But you have to buy the book, on or after May 3rd, and use your receipt to prove it! One will be sent to your email right after your purchase.

Contest runs through June 3rd.

My winner will be chosen after June 5th.

All you have to do is buy the E-Book at Hellfire Publishing:

And simply send me that paragraph, and a semi-copy of your receipt…make the paragraph your favorite. Those are always fun reads..LOL.

Have a wonderful day….And Good Luck!

Sharing Grandbaby Fun and One Black Eye

2011-05-03T08:58:00.001-06:00

The oldest grand who is five came running into my cave. “Grandpa’s picking one me.” She had a huge frown and one little hand on her hip. “And he won’t stop.” I smiled, how could I not.

“Well, “I replied. “Just punch him in the eye.” I jumped off the bed. “I’ll help ya, let’s go beat up grandpa.” Her eyes went wide and her mouth went round and off we went. We both rounded to corner to grandpa’s sitting room, where he was watching some kind of, sport, news, or politics…that got me going even more, so I dove right on top of him, knocking him to the side, yelling…”Get him, beating up, I got to old goat.”

With all the ruckus going on with us three, in runs the youngest who has just turned three. Help at last…not hardly! She comes over and starts wrestling grandma, laughing as hard as she could. I look up in time to see this itty, bitty, little fist on the end of this tiny baby stick of an arm come shooting out of nowhere right into grandpa’s eye. He went back closing both eyes tight saying, “Okay, okay, that’s enough!” Here I am laughing so hard I almost, if not a little, wet myself. I couldn’t say a word, hell I couldn’t even take another breath I was laughing so hard.

He lifted the oldest off and tried to set up why she kept trying to punch his eye. He slowly turned his head and looked me dead in the eye with his one good eye and simply told me, “You need to stop telling them to hit people.”

“Not people, Grandpa. Just those that pick on them,” I said pulling his little rug-rat off as she continued to pummel my legs. “Wanna snack and a juice?” I had said the magic word and my attacker was running for the fridge..LOL. Grandpa was still nursing his really red eye and I was off with my girls to grab those snacks….of course, telling the oldest on the way…”You got him good baby girl, maybe he’ll think next time before he starts pickin’?” Yet, we all know he won’t. He is grandpa and that’s what they do in this house; they pick, tease, scare from a dark corner, run out the door with black oil on their hands and two little girls screaming at the top of their lungs, in front of them…and those unending hours of backyard play with, either baseballs or swings…grandpa’s need recognition too. And maybe a punch in the eye, when they pick too much. ;)

Tune in next time…I always have something funny to tell about my world with the grand’s. Just like the youngest looking up at my brother who just drove in from Texas in his big red truck. “You’s f*** is wed wike gampa’s.” His face twisted a bit with me and everyone else cracking up…then I explained she couldn’t say truck. Then she ran down the yard saying and pointing at the two red trucks. “Gampa’s wed f***.” Then run to my bro’s, “Uhule Buuse’s wed f***.” It was hilarious to say the least!

Well, I am off to see what the youngest is doing…she is really quite in the playroom. Then in a few hours we will go pick up the oldest from school and then it will really be on..LOL

Have a great day!

Getting Great Feed-Back on Bloodbreeders: Living in Darkness

2011-05-01T17:20:00.000-06:00

The best part about writing a book is the feed-back that the readers give me. The only bad thing about the emails that I get...is I can't post them because they have spoilers in them, where my readers are shocked at something they were not expecting. *Wiggling Brows* Huge thanks to all have been reading my book...and watch out, there may be a twist around the next corner. ;)

I am happy to say that a few that are reading the book have sent emails and said they would do a review and send it when they finish...and I am over the top proud to say that not one person has had one ugly thing to say...WooHoo!!!

Bloodbreeders: Living in Darkness has been entered into the Covey Awards, and is now an ad on Coffee Time Romance. It has been sent out to a few pro reviewers...I will post them all as they come in.

This is a very exciting time. This is the first book that I wrote those long five years ago and it has now found the perfect home. It's a five book series, that I may write a few swing books off of??? Writing is never really a plan with me...I just sit down and start hitting the keys. ;)

Have a wonderful evening!
