Finally, I’ll have my first book under my new pen name “Elle Amour” out this Friday, March 5th. These stories are more edgy and exploratory–at least for me. So if you’ll indulge me, here’s the blurb and a short excerpt. Claimed is the first book of the series I’ve called Mate Seekers. Enjoy, and please check out my new site at http://elleamour.com/main.html! I love it. I hope you do too. (Oh, and this link bypasses the 18 and older screen, so beware! The site is hot!)

BLURB ~

Book 1 in the Mate Seeker series.

Trista is living every middle-aged woman’s fantasy—she wakes to find her body is pre-kids, pre-stretch marks and pre-gravity. Oh yeah! What’s more, the lover sharing her fantasy—blond hair, piercing turquoise eyes and a sculpted body to drool over—makes her feel like the sexy teen she was back when he first visited her dreams. Except this is no fantasy, and Rurik the Conqueror is no dream lover. He’s real, he’s not from Earth, and this time he’s come to claim her.

Rurik had known Trista of Earth was his by the Svendian way—her scent. A war and fears for her safety were all that kept him from staking his claim years ago, but no longer. He needs her like he needs his next breath. But unknown forces intrude on his plans and Rurik finds she’s in greater danger than ever. This time he’s not giving up, and he’ll die to protect the woman who completes his soul in a way he never imagined.

EXCERPT ~

Chapter One

His woman.

He could smell her in the mists. From behind a tree he watched her lope through the woods, gliding like a nymph. She’d grown older since he’d last spied her. He knew she would have a few lines on her face, a few white hairs she tried to cover up within her dark hair, but his blood still yearned for her.

Hidden, Rurik watched a trickle of sweat roll down her face. She’d lost some weight since he last came. How many of Earth’s years had passed now?

Too long. It was time he claimed her.

She came closer, her head bowed toward the ground, seeming deep in thought.

A green light whizzed past, almost nicking him. The laser struck a tree near the woman, causing her to lift her head and stare straight at him.

Another shot fired as he pulled his pistol. His enemies had found him. “Run,” he yelled at her, wanting, needing her to get away.

Another silent volley. Rurik grabbed her and ducked but too late. The laser had wounded her.

“You,” she whispered, and collapsed into his arms.

Hi, all. Time seems to have stood still with all the snow we’ve received in the East. These Easterners just aren’t used to this. My son has been out of school for over two weeks and today was the first day they’ve had back.

Which got me to thinking…weather emergencies like this snow, or worse, like the earthquake in Haiti, push us sometimes to do incredible things. Drop a note and share with us some of those things you’ve experienced. We would love to hear it! Leave us a note.

LISE: V.J.! Thanks for coming to our site. So, what do you like most about action/adventure stories and why did you write one?

V.J.: First, I want to say this. I LOVE ACTION ADVENTURE MOVIES! LOL! But I always hated the heroine standing on the sidelines screaming helplessly. Hated it. A history buff, it had always fascinated me to read about the women who had dressed as men to fight in wars – both in the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. The same was true of the women spies. I”m thinking of that female police officer who went toward the line of fire at Fort Hood. That’s who I wanted to be when I grew up. So all my heroines are strong women, tough but tender, capable and not ashamed of it. Some of them have been a little too tough, I’m told. (I haven’t even published the book about the female assassin who’s a traceuse – a form of urban physical discipline called Parkour! Amazing stuff parkour. Look it up on line.)

LISE: Cool! So tell us a little about your book.

V.J.: Sure, although in this story the adventure is more an accident of fate….

LISE: LOL! Aren’t the best ones that way? Shoot–tell us!

V.J.:  Okay, Rafi Carteret sees herself as just another civil servant, just trying to do her job, but the hours are crappy and her job isn’t as glamorous as it looks on TV. She ’s just looking for a little relief, some companionship, maybe someone to come home to, when she meets Michael Niculescu on an internet date. So he’s a vampire. He’s tall, sexy, and gorgeous. And so is his cousin. Neither they nor Rafi know that a vampire hunter is on their trail until they disappear and then it’s up to Rafi to rescue them.

LISE: So, you have an excerpt you’d like to share?

V.J.: Sure, here’s a snippet:

Clearly and with unmistakable authority a sharp voice snapped from the doorway, “Metro Police. Detective Lieutenant Raphaela Carteret. Put down the weapon, Mr. Godwin, or I will shoot. Piss me off and I might shoot you anyway but if you harm one hair on Nico’s head, I will fucking kill you.” The last was a snarl. Everyone’s eyes shot to the slender figure braced in the doorway, the gun in her hand pointed directly at Godwin as she flipped open a badge with the other. Her picture on it was clear, as was the shiny gold detective’s shield beside it. The sight of Nico with a stake over his heart was nearly more than Rafi could bear. The despair and fear for Nico and for her on Michael’s handsome face was almost as bad. Along with the sure knowledge that Michael would be next. Crawling across the floor of that horrible room, scrabbling to find her hoodie in the dark, her badge and weapon concealed in it—a relic of her undercover days—had been terrible, knowing what they would face in this room. Desperate, trying to find the strength to make it so far with her heart hammering inside her. She was so weak. She had forced herself to keep moving, seeing Michael’s face, Nico’s, in her mind, wanting something more than memory after the events of this day. She didn’t dare look too closely at either of them but she knew with every cell in her body where they were in the room. Even pinned to the altar by the hands of Godwin’s men, with fear and fury burning through him as he struggled to free himself, Nico’s eyes went to Rafi in the doorway, his heart shattering to see her so pale, battered and bruised, her gun locked now in both hands, her dark blue eyes desperate but resolute. Furious, terrified.

LISE: Sounds awesome, Val. Now, how can people check the book out and what’s your website addy?
