Wild Darkness Calls in 'Holly Gets Darkly' by Kay Dee Royal.

“I can’t take you like this when you have no idea.” His breathless words made no sense. His body was trembling like mine. He wanted me as much as I wanted him.

Blurb

Holly Preston, freelance nature photographer, gets lost in the dark and stranded in the forest on a mission to locate the elusive cougar for the shot of a lifetime.

Keyt Darkly, Forest Ranger, tracks her with more in mind than rescue.
She discovers cougars are nothing compared to what awaits her in a cabin hidden deep in the darkness…

Excerpt 

A snarled warning from something ahead startled me. I stopped and raised the flashlight in the direction of the sound. My hand shook and the light jiggled. A large cat sprang at the wavering beam of light, like a domestic cat playing with a laser beam. Only this creature moved with the speed and stealth of a ninja, powerful muscles rippling along its haunches as it pounced only a few feet in front of me. I held my scream, but dropped the flashlight. It rolled down the hill, leaving me standing in darkness in front of…a cougar.

Holy cougar-bait, now what do I do? I couldn’t stop shaking while my knees turned to jelly and threatened to crumple under me. Crap. Okay, I had sticks…in my hand. I used one to balance and keep me from falling down.

Then the cat ripped past me, tearing in the direction of the flashlight.

It knocked me down, sticks and all. I lay there frozen, listening as the flashlight skidded here and there, until it finally went out.

The cat snarled, whether in anger or play, I really didn’t know and didn’t want to hang around to find out. I crawled, afraid to stand, feeling my way in the opposite direction of where the cat originated.
Attempting to be soundless in the dark over dead leaves was for the birds…they could fly, while I made lots of noise.

Another something snapped as my knee took the hit. Then I sensed the giant cat was near. Folding my knees under me and covering my head with my arms, I lay face down on the ground. It wasn’t for ferocious cats that a person was supposed to act dead around, but at this point I had no choice. I certainly wasn’t going to run. It would only toy with me until it killed me, like it killed my flashlight.

Its warm, moist breath moved the hair that had fallen over my arms as air puffed in and out of its mouth. I knew they smelled with their mouths open and thanked the universe it was too dark to see its sharp fangs. It pawed my arm, back, side, sole of my foot, and then my butt.

I wanted to shout, “Private place!” But as soon as the thought hit my brain, the beast’s claws shredded the back of my jeans. I jerked at the sound of tearing fabric, every part of me screaming to run, and yet the sharp nails never connected with my skin.

Excerpt-Rated R 

Keyt drew himself from me and lifted me from Dax, carrying me toward the dying fire. I couldn’t believe the emptiness was hurting more than their filling me. Every abused part of me wanted more, no needed more, like I was starving, too hungry to think.

“Our pheromones. You’ve got no defense for them, but you will have once the moon cycles, little kitten.” Keyt kissed my forehead. “Come, Dax. We need a bath.”

No defense of pheromones? I had no idea what he was talking about. The blood pumping through my veins, burning me from the inside, was getting so loud and distracting. “What have you done to me, Keyt?” Moisture blurred my vision, and a thick knot formed at the base of my throat.

“Hush, little one, you have no idea what you are, but you will soon, my love.” Keyt picked up a bar of soap off a shelf and dropped it on my belly as he carried me out the door.

Kay Dee Royal, Author of 'Big Girls Don't Cry Wolf'

Scribal Love Welcomes Kay Dee Royal!


Kay Dee is the author of 'Big Girls Don't Cry Wolf'.  It is available from Muse It Hot Publishing.

Hello Clare and Everyone. I’m nervous and excited to be here, looking forward to spending some time together.

Kay Dee Royal, tell us a little bit about yourself.

Hmmm, I left the corporate world ten years ago and never looked back. Thank goodness I have a supportive husband.

I write Young Adult Fantasy novels under a different name and have three works in progress. I’ve dabbled in non-fiction articles, essays, and poetry, but find paranormal fiction writing my ultimate favorite.

I wrote a few Paranormal Erotica Romance novels and fell in love with this genre. Not only do I love reading it, but I love writing it.

My e-book publisher is Lea Schizas – Muse It Up Publishing, more specific the Muse It Hot Publishing side of the company. When my manuscript was accepted, I joined the Muse It Up forum groups. Wow, talk about a family! Everyone wants to share wisdom, knowledge, and also share in celebrating each other’s success. It’s truly a wonderful publishing company for authors and readers alike.

How long did it take you to finish, from idea to final product?

The ideas above came together quickly using the ‘what if’ brainstorming method. Next the beginning, whew…I rewrote that little paragraph more than anything else. The initial hook takes some work. The first draft only took a couple of weeks, and I submitted the final product one month after (it had gone through a couple critique readers).

What are some challenges in your writing process?

I must rewrite as I go along. I write a few thousand words, hang it up for a day, and go back to rework it before I write the next couple of thousand words. Doing this refreshes where I’m at in the story, gets my creative juices cooking again, and allows me to catch back up with my characters. It initially takes me longer to write this way, but it’s my process and I’m sticking to it.

What is the release date of your book? Tell us about the book.

Big Girls Don’t Cry Wolf will be released on March 1, 2011.

My idea started with a contest request. The heroine must be a strong, intelligent, plus-sized woman, confident about her body. I had an interest in twins because a news article came out where a nurse stealing a twin from the hospital and leaving one behind for the parent to take home. So, I incorporated the twin concept with a bit of a twist, which you’ll find as you read the story.

Next the setting – it is my favorite type of area for vacationing, rustic, lakes, woods, and full moon kind of stuff too.

I added danger, abduction, family ties, possible rescue…

Here’s a blurb: Big Girls Don’t Cry Wolf

After the tragic loss of her twin sister, Brea works hard to prove herself worthy of her adoptive parent’s extra attention. She focuses on the success of the rustic resort her parents deeded to her.

Priorities change when sexy twin wolves in human-form walk into Brea’s life.

A dangerous rogue abducts her, but whom, if anyone comes to her rescue?

Short Excerpt:

Brea’s belly warmed and rolled into a major flip flop. Everything faded around her with the exception of the man in front of her. His eyes looked like gray slate in the strong sunlight, and he’d caught her staring. Those slates locked on to her, sending a bolt of electric sparks weaving through her insides. Her whole body tingled in a way she’d never experienced before.

“Damn it Blake, watch that thing,” his deep voice rumbled through the store.

His attention wavered, the connection shattered. Brea sucked in air like she’d just broke surface from a deep dive into a watery abyss. She physically took a step back to look at him, the energy in the air still heavy with the static strings that moments earlier connected them.

His fingers combed through the front of his hair, pulling it backward, but the dark curls bounced back over his brow, wild, unruly.  Brea couldn’t quite see behind Slate Eyes to know with whom he spoke, maybe a child. His bold language seemed a bit much for the likes of a child. He approached the counter where Brea stood. She swore the temperature rose about twenty degrees, even though a shiver spiked down her spine raising goose bumps over her skin.

What tips would share with an aspiring author?

Read, read, read, write, read, read, read, write some more. The more you read and write, the more you’ll hone your craft. Hang in there – you can do it!
