Ready to Sink My Teeth into Shannon by Shane North

Author Shane North arrives on the Publishing scene today with his first book in an awesome upcoming series called The Angelis Vampire Series. Shannon, Book 1 and a sizzling hot Release party on Facebook. (Click here to join.)

I sat down with Shane the other day and asked him a few questions about his new career as a writer and his first book, Shannon. We’ve got a wonderful new voice in the realm of vampire fiction here. Be sure to pick up Shannon by Shane North soon!

What is your book about and what genre are you writing in?

I love anything paranormal and if you add romance, the possibilities are endless. Nothing loves the way an immortal does. They have beauty, and passion that could move a mountain to get to their mate.

Shannon is about a young woman who lives a wonderful normal life in South Beach, except for her nightmares. They started when she was young and have haunted her nights every since. In her nightmares she leads the battle between good and evil. Her warriors are vampires and werewolves. Beside her is the love of her life. A sandy haired man who she met when the nightmares started. As she grew older, she knew her love for Simon was real and some day she would meet him.

She was adopted and never knew her real family. Everything changes quickly when her step parents are brutally murdered. She finds out her best friend, Caitlyn, is a werewolf and Caitlyns dad, which she looked at as a father figure in her life, is the alpha of the pack. The turmoil continues to escalate for her when her uncle Damon comes into her life. He holds the key to her past and her future. Damon is the vampire lord of Europe, and he comes from another time dimension named Angelis. A medieval place controlled by the Royals. A race of true vampires with power and magic this world has never seen.

In the first book of the series Shannon grows and learns to cope with her new life. She learns  who she is and what the Fates have planned for her. She meets her mate and tries to understand the rules the immortal race lives by. The essence of her true parents becomes a part of her when she touches their picture and she finally feels a parent’s love. Her saving grace in all of this is the fact that she worked for Navy Intel during her military life and she was very good at killing her targets.

What inspired you to write your first book?

I have always loved to write, but I never took the time to do so until I retired. My oldest granddaughter and I have always had a close bond. We have spent hours talking about her challenges as she matured and I have always tried to help her understand the world. That being said, Damon and Shanon’s relationship is similar. Shannon struggles to grow and figure out her life. Damon is always a step ahead and tries to lead her in the right direction to discover her true life.

What would you say makes your vampires unique to the paranormal genre?

My vampires have powers that come from their heritage as true Royal vampires. They move about in daylight and slip time to travel. I try to make them believable as a family unit. Whenever Shannon tries to get away with something, Damon always knows. They have werewolves as family members, and fight side by side. And then there’s Shamn Neeb. The powerful Shaman that has been with Damon’s family for centuries. A counter balance between good and evil.

What do you like about your main vampire character?

 I love Shannon because of her fight to get it right. She’s the strongest and most powerful immortal to ever exist, but she hasn’t learnt everything. She sees life as right or wrong. She looks at Damon as just a man and loves his human side. Her other uncle, Keegan, who is Caitlyn dad, is still a father figure. It doesn’t matter that he’s the alpha for several thousand werewolves. He’s still Keegan, and they have hot chocolate together and laugh about life.

Is there one particular thing your vampires can do or vampire myth that you enjoyed creating for this series?

I really enjoyed the Angelis side of the story. A medieval dimension, the Royals. Who are they and where did they come from? And what is Shaman Neebs story?

Read an EXCERPT from SHANNON

PROLOGUE

As my eyes closed and I took my last breath, I heard footsteps approaching…

I am Conner O’Callaghan, the oldest alpha werewolf and a direct descendant of the original Irish pack.  I was born in the County Offaly, along the River Shannon, in the year 1663.  This was when the alpha leader, Aedan MacConin bit me and I turned into a werewolf.

I am an immortal.

Callidora was my loving vampire mate, an ancient Greek who lived on Crete in 1158 AD.  She came from another time dimension named Angelis, with her vampire brother, Damon.  They were forced to leave their homeland by their power-hungry uncle, Kyran.  The warlock, Shaman Neeb, slid time and transported them to our time dimension.  He saved their lives and royal bloodline.  In this dimension, they have the power of gods.  Damon became my best friend in later years, along with Shaman Neeb; Damon was never far from his sister.

Callidora and I broke all the rules by creating a new breed of immortal.  We named our daughter Shannon, after the river I played in when I was a boy in Ireland.  She was the impossible miracle that came from our love.  A werewolf and vampire cannot produce a child together, but because Callidora was from another dimension, we were so much more than normal.

Shannon was a beautiful baby, but she did not exhibit any signs or scent of being immortal and could pass for a human in every way.  We knew Shannon was special…signs or not… and that someday she would become the strongest immortal alive.  However, at what age she would change from human to Angelian, we did not know.  We knew it would happen when she needed her powers.

By creating this new species, we knew we would pay with our lives.  The wolves and vampires have always followed the unspoken rule to kill the breeders and offspring, thus ending the cycle of life for those they feared or hated.  The slaughter of my village started at midnight, as the immortals attacked in full force and killed at will.  The slayers that massacred my pack were a mix of vampires and wolves, which would prevent the blame from falling on one race.  Cries of death carried into the night as the bloodbath raged.  The vampires and wolves were fighting together to end Shannon’s life as we all fought back, but we were outnumbered ten to one.

As my last breaths came and I felt my heart beating its last few beats, I knew my life would soon be over.  As I lay dying, I knew Damon felt the cries from Callidora as we fought for our daughter’s life.  As my eyes closed and I took my last breath, I heard footsteps approaching…

This is Shannon’s story… Callidora and I will never leave her side.

CHAPTER 1

The Nightmare

I stood in the corner of my adoptive parents’ bedroom.  I felt very strange as I looked around.  I was wearing my navy camouflage!  On my hips rested my pair of .45s and I held my scoped AR tightly in my hands.  Was I back in Afghanistan?  No, I could feel the cool breeze blowing through the windows of their Florida home as Mike and Mary Murphy slept calmly.  I looked at their clock.  It was close to midnight when Mike woke up suddenly to the sound of heavy footsteps coming up the stairs.  He turned on the light and reached for his glasses as the bedroom door burst open.  There, standing in the doorway, were two large men with glowing red eyes with a deadly look about them.  I screamed as Mike reached for Mary and tried to pull her close; a bullet blasted the back half of her head onto her pillow.  I dropped to my knees as I watched helplessly as a second bullet blew through Mike’s head.  He fell against the headboard of their bed, silently.  Death came quickly and, once again, the night was silent.  I cried at the loss of the only parents I have ever known.

The half-morphed wolves smiled at one another as they shifted back to their human form.  The silver-haired man named Angelo spoke, “She’s not here, Lucas.  I didn’t think killing her would be this easy.  The Assembly will be pissed if they hear she got away from us.”

Lucas, big and mean, was cursing as he looked at the bed.  “We need to locate her quickly.  I’m not sending in a report saying we failed this.  The Assembly will have our heads if we screw this up.”

I followed them in spirit, if not in form, down the stairs as they left the house quickly and jumped into their car.  I could hear the sirens coming.  I was sitting in the back seat of their car as Lucas pulled out a dossier.  “Let’s find out more about this freak.  It says here, she’s about 5’9”, with curly auburn hair and emerald green eyes.”  Angelo snapped, “We already know that.  What else does it say?”  Lucas continued, “She’s supposed to be an expert in martial arts, with a quick temper and an attitude to match.  She spent three years in Navy Intelligence and was one of their best agents.  Her best friend is a little blonde named Caitlyn.”

“This is a bunch of bullshit, Lucas.  Time to call our informant.  We’ll find this freak and kill the bitch, and then we will get a bonus, instead of losing our heads.”

I woke up angry, tears flowing like a waterfall; heartbroken knowing I had just witnessed my adoptive parents’ murder.  But I was in full camo and ready for battle.  Why?

EXCERPT FROM TAKEN #3

Third Interview Introduction

Being a vampire, I like to think I’m open-minded to all things, or almost all things.  I listen to other vampires confess their deepest, darkest secrets, if they so choose, and I can’t judge them.  Or at least I shouldn’t.  I sympathize with them.  I cry with them.  I give them a venue to share what they want to share.  That’s what this quest of mine is all about.

Sometimes, however, my sanity is challenged and I struggle to not form some type of opinion when I hear a confession.  This is one of those times.

I met Diane many years after she had been turned from a human into a vampire, many years after she had assumed her role as the Demon Queen, and many years after she had walked away from her lover, Satan.

From time to time, I had heard stories about virgins being kidnapped by monsters and taken to another world.  Being a 21st century vampire, I didn’t really pay attention to such stories.  I blew them off as urban legends or silly fairy tales perverted humans shared with one another in order to get a rise out of the other.

Leaving Max, my wolfhound home, I caught the last flight to France.  After I met Diane at a coffee shop near the museum district in downtown Paris on a balmy Sunday afternoon, my opinion about these ‘Taken’ stories greatly changed and I realized that sometimes even though I’m a vampire, I don’t know everything about the true darkness hiding out there.

Starting the Interview

Interview by Randi Fang with Diane, the Demon Queen.  Recorded July 16, 2014 in Paris, France, soon after sunset.

“Thank you for waiting for me.  I do apologize.  I didn’t realize traffic would be so bad.” I collapsed in the chair, slinging my backpack and keys on the table.

“It’s quite alright.  I enjoyed watching the sunset.”

“You saw it?” Immediately I was amazed with the interview subject before me, a 4,000 year old vampire who had been referred in the past as the Demon Queen.  Now she simply went by the name, Diane.

“There are advantages to getting old, as the humans would say.  I’m enjoying longer evenings more often now.  Actually I had hoped you’d be late, so I could take advantage of seeing it.  I rise just before dusk now, but I don’t get out to the city as often as I’d like.”

“I understand,” I muttered, trying not to let on that I was rather nervous sitting across from this female vampire.  She was probably the oldest vampire I had ever interviewed, and suddenly saying something stupid in front of her worried me greatly.  Being less than one hundred years old meant I wasn’t a super-strength vampire.  At least not yet.  This woman before me had to be stronger than I could imagine.  Yet she didn’t look threatening.  Quite the contrary.  She seemed reserved, delicate like a china doll, and almost kind like a thoughtful human.  Her hair was hidden under the hood of her long, flowing satin cloak, but I could see wisps of her strawberry red hair surrounding her face.  I tried not to catch my breath when a glimpse of her face came into my view beneath the dim street lamps.  A porcelain mask shown back at me, full ruby, red lips, high cheek bones, and shining reddish orange eyes, the color of volcanic lava, and as rumor would have it, the reason she had been called the Demon Queen.

“I don’t want to scare you,” she began in a quiet voice.  She shifted her legs beneath the table and sat a snakeskin Prada bag next to my belongings.

I hadn’t really seen her lips move, but I had heard her just the same.  Unsure what to say, my eyes registered on her neck and cleavage, her ivory skin seemed unblemished and amazingly translucent as if her body comprised a solid state of white mist instead of flesh.  Her dark clothes only accentuated that fact.

“May I speak to your mind as I tell my story?  It will be much easier.”

“Telepathy, you mean?”  My eyes traveled up to meet hers again.

She nodded.

Attempting to break our eye contact, I glanced down at my recording device.  My fingers quivered a bit as I searched for the Play button.  I wondered if I had enough memory to record what I foresaw as a lengthy interview.  What have I gotten myself into?

Before I knew it, she had my hand in her grasp.  Cold and deadly.  “My dear,” she began.  “I want to put you at ease.  I mean you no harm.  I’m actually quite taken with you, if I may say so.  You are doing something few in this world would dare do, and I commend you for it.  Truly.  Just relax and let out minds connect.  I only have a few hours, then I must go hunting.  You can join me, if you like.”

Slowly I let out a sigh of relief, maybe it was relief or more likely just a hope that I could focus my thoughts and concentrate on her every word.

“What do you want to tell me tonight?” I asked.

“My turning, many months after I was taken away by Satan.  I think that will be enough in one sitting.  Don’t you?”

Failing to form the words, I sat still.  I couldn’t reply.  I knew this was too great a challenge for me.  What had happened to her really?  She looked unlike any other vampire I had ever seen.

“This will help you,” Diane stated.  Taking her finger into her mouth, she bit down on her index finger.  Then she presented it to me.  “It’s just a drop of my blood, but it will help you get through this.  Drink, my child.”

Obeying her command without the least moment of hesitation, I took her finger into my grasp, licking away the small amount of blood she wanted to share with me.  The minute the liquid seeped down my throat, our minds were connected.

 

Diane’s Confession

I’m sure this story is going to be quite shocking to you, Randi.  Thinking over it again, I can understand that it would be to any novice human.  But you have to remember, I lived in a time when magic was very real.  Gods and demons exchanged relationships with humans, and getting the chance to be in their presence was a gift.

My parent died on my twentieth birthday.  Being an only child with few friends or suitors, I was extremely lost without them.  Maybe that’s why I didn’t resist when I was kidnapped by the dark lord.  I didn’t struggle to run away from his grasp, so I became Satan’s play thing.

I welcomed him when he came to me that last night before he turned me.  There was a ravenous desire in my stomach I could not deny.  I wanted him now more than ever.  I had grown to love Satan ever since he had taken me from my home on Earth many months ago.  Now I enjoyed our nightly lovemaking and knew trusting my heart to let the demon dwell inside me was the smartest move I had ever made.  That night, long ago, when he had first appeared in my room, stayed with me like the satisfaction of a warm blood meal in my belly.

When Satan had carried me off to this other world to be his highest-ranking sex pet, I hoped he would turn me into a demon like him.  However, he had not, not yet.  Ever since my parents had died, I had not wanted to continue living as a human.  At twenty years old, I was certain of that fact.  Satan was my way out, my way into a new world, a new destiny.  Maybe I wanted that more and more every day than I wanted the demon.  Of course, I had ambitions beyond most young girls’ comprehension of right and wrong.  I dreamed of living with my demon lover forever.  Perhaps one day, I would become his queen.  Unfortunately, things did not turn out like that exactly.

***

Diane paused for a moment.  “Do you understand?”

I nodded, letting the magnitude of her story wash over me.  Kidnapped by Satan.  Taken into a world of sex and pleasure unlike anything humans had known.  A chosen pet.  A future of unforeseen desires and delights.  It was hard to comprehend.

She continued, “Looking back now some three thousand and eighty years, I can understand why this would seem odd, even disgusting.  I had never been with a mortal man, so I didn’t know what to expect.  But, Randi, before you judge me – as all do – think of this, do humans cast an approving eye upon your nature?  When you drain their sister or brother of their blood do you still have their sympathy?”

I nodded again.  “You’re right.  I’m starting this all wrong.  I shouldn’t be a hypocrite.  I’m sorry.”

A flash of her hand waving in the air and a slow smile creasing her face made me realize I had been forgiven, at least for the time being.

“I played the hand I was dealt.  It’s as simple as that,” Diane concluded.  “I’d expect you would have done the same, my dear.”

Naughty Excerpt – Enjoy!

Charles never returned the rest of the day.  Casey waited until past closing time before she locked up the shop and retired to her room out back.

She wanted a warm bath as well as a good sleep.  After heating water for the hip tub, Casey undressed, slipping into the water slowly.  She’d made sure the water was hot in hopes it would soak away some of the tension the day had brought.  Charles sad eyes kept appearing.  Resting her head on a towel, she closed her eyes, doing her best to focus on nothing.  The lavender Maggie had left with her helped.  Before long, she was dozing.

A thump outside sounded muffled, yet solid.  Glass breaking brought her upright in the water.  Before she could scream, the cabin door flew open.  Charles barged inside.  “My door is locked.  You locked me out of my own office!”

Clutching her arms to her breasts, she hoped her privates remained below the water enough so as not to be seen by his bleary, bloodshot eyes.  He’d been drinking.

“Mr. Harrison, do you mind?  I’m bathing!”  Clutching the tiny washcloth over her skin, the discomfort of being naked wreaking havoc on her confidence.  She’d never live down the incident.  “Would you please leave?”

“I want my keys, damn you.  Give me my keys.”  Stumbling toward the tub, he glanced up and down at the burnished brass container before asking, “Is this my tub?  What are you doing with my tub?”  His voice rose with each vowel.  “I said, I want my keys.  Now, Miss St. Clair!”

What absolute gall!  He’d given her permission to use the tub whenever she wanted.  However, it appeared he’d changed his mind all of a sudden!  Well, they’d see about that!  Shifting, she grabbed the linen towel, turning away as she secured it over her breasts.  The nerve of this pompous, drunken cur!  Cutting chilly eyes in his direction, Casey stood up in the water.  Making a show of getting out and tub, she sauntered to the table beside the tiny potbellied stove.  “Here are your keys, Mr. Harrison.”  The fire in her belly churned as he swayed precariously in place.  She held the keys up for his examination.  Too late she realized she taunted him.

He took a step forward.  His head swam on his shoulders as he stared blankly.  Out of the blue, he belched loud and long.  With one foot planted in a forward motion, he fell into Casey’s arms, taking them both down.

The air left her body.  Casey gasped under the restrictive weight of Charles sprawled on top of her.  Breathing became a chore as he cut off her air with his weight.  The floor’s hard boards cut into her back.

“My apologies, my dear.  It appears we’ve fallen.  Are you all right?”  With genuine concern in his words mixed with piteous dismay on his face, Charles attempted to make things right.  “I seem to be inebriated past my limit.  Do forgive me.”  He shifted, unpinning her as he rolled to his back in the midst of tub water on the wooden floor.  Like a fish out of his stream, he laid there staring at the ceiling.  Turning, he smiled a completely idiotic smile.  “I’m going to sleep now.  Good night.”  With those few words, Charles Harrison, attorney at law, fell asleep in the middle of Casey’s tiny, one room cabin.

Amazed some bone wasn’t broken, Casey closed her eyes in silent thanks.  With air in her lungs, she clutched the towel tight to her breasts.  Never in all her days had she ever seen the likes of such a scoundrel.  He’d practically broken down her door and stomped in, demanding she give him his key.  No tactful apology for the intrusion, no rational explanation for why he didn’t have a key on his person.  He didn’t have the decency to cover his eyes when he witnessed her naked in the water.  No, Mr. Charles Harrison was fast becoming a rogue of the first kind as far as she was concerned.  Now he’d passed out on her floor!  Of all the bone-headed things to do!

Scurrying to her meager closet, she snatched out a thin, white cotton nightgown and slipped it over her neck and shoulders.  Examining the sorry state of affairs, she finished covering her nakedness with the lightweight gown and concluded Mr. Harrison could remain right where he was for as long as he needed to sleep off whatever demons he’d tried to drown.

She was going to go inside his building and make use of the fresh sheets she’d put on his bed earlier that day.  Hoping he had the worst headache known to mankind when he woke, she shut the door behind her.  Gathering her hem, she slipped quietly inside the office of the only attorney in Tyler.

Having become accustom to where everything was in the apartment Charles kept off to the side of the outer office, she lit the lamp beside his large, strongly appointed bed.  The headboard, a heavily carved piece of walnut held an image of an avenging angel holding a sword above her head.  Casey didn’t understand why he would have such a symbol of courage and strength over his bed.  Certain things about Mr. Charles Harrison bemused her.  Why was he so incensed by the idea of her not confiding in him regarding her encounter with Earl Loflin?  Surely, he could afford her some privacy in her personal matters.  Yet, he kept a close eye on her.  Insisting he escort her wherever she needed to go.  She couldn’t say she minded his attention, yet, the demands he placed on her privacy were becoming a problem.  Perhaps the time had come to sever the ties with Mr. Harrison.  The consideration hurt.  Soon, she’d have to make a decision.

Casey slipped into the bed, with the crisp, white linens she’d taken off the line and carefully put on the feather ticked mattress that afternoon.  Examining the ceiling, she did her best to concentrate on falling asleep.  Tomorrow would come soon enough with whatever the predicament of Charles and the incident in her cabin would bring.  She needed sleep.

Closing her eyes, her mind wouldn’t quiet down.  Round and round her mind whirled with images of him looming over her in the tub, his eyes constantly on her as she did her best to get out of the tub without displaying herself completely for his perusal.  Despite her reasoning to the contrary, Casey tingled in her feminine place far too much.  Her reaction to being naked in his presence did things to her.  She understood that now.  Wanting Charles Harrison to touch her was a reoccurring dream.

Slowly, she tugged the cotton gown up from around her legs.  Trailing a finger up the skin of her inner thigh, she let go of the breath she’d been holding.  Carefully sliding her fingers between her folds, she rubbed against the need burning within her woman’s body.  The picture of him walking in the door as she writhed under her own ministering made Casey moan aloud.  Her pulse beat in rapid time as the blood rushed to her loins.  Her breath quickened with the onslaught of the pressure mounting in her fevered body.  Never having experienced such a thrill, she somehow knowing she was wanton for allowing her body to let go.  She shoved the warning of sinful desires to the furthest corner of her mind, focusing instead on Charles’ eyes on her as she stroked her nub.  The raw need burning in his face could fuel any fire, which she set to burning.  Such a secret pleasure, she’d never regret.  After all, being alone to dream wasn’t a crime.  She imagined him in the doorway, tall, dark, and sexy.  Her fingers worked deeper within her wet flesh.  Spiraling upward, the temptation grew to an unbearable peak.  Casey’s cry of release swamped her completely.  Without a care for who heard, she let the ecstasy wash over her in waves.  As the yearning bedded down within its casket of secrecy, Casey’s blood slowly cooled.  At last, she found the slumber she sought.  Visions of Charles lying next to her in satisfied repose, his arm thrown above his head and his hand resting possessively atop her thigh gave her the necessary potion for sleep she desperately need.  Tomorrow became a distant concern.

Felicity

Covet (V.E.T Vampire Romance Series Book 1) by Felicity Heaton – Free at Amazon

Javier knows better than to succumb to his hunger for Lilah. The mortal female belongs to a powerful aristocrat patron of Vampirerotique, the theater he runs with three other vampires. A single touch is all it would take to break the sacred law of his kind, sentencing himself to death, but his passion for her has become too fierce to ignore and he will risk everything to make Lilah his.

Lilah has fought her desire for Javier since arriving at his theater as a servant but each glance he has stolen, his eyes promising pleasure that will satisfy her longing for him, has chipped away at her defenses and she can no longer deny her need and her forbidden feelings for the powerful vampire male.

When they find themselves alone in a private box during one of the erotic performances, will they surrender to their passion and live out their wildest fantasies in a night of wicked pleasure or will the threat of Lilah’s master keep them apart forever?
