Book Blurb:

The grave is one wrong step away.

Having narrowly averted an (under)world war, Cat Crawfield wants nothing more than a little downtime with her vampire husband, Bones. Unfortunately, her gift from New Orleans’ voodoo queen just keeps on giving–leading to a personal favor that sends them into battle once again, this time against a villainous spirit.

Centuries ago, Heinrich Kramer was a witch hunter. Now, every All Hallows Eve, he takes physical form to torture innocent women before burning them alive.

Book Blurb:

To cold, emotionless faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. His own love had died a horrible death, killing any gentler feelings the Winter prince might have had. Or so he thought.

Then Meghan Chase—a half human, half fey slip of a girl— smashed through his barricades, binding him to her irrevocably with his oath to be her knight. And when all of Faery nearly fell to the Iron fey, she severed their bond to save his life. Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive.

Jackie: What do you think is the difference between a reader and a real Book Lover?

Julie: Hmm, is there a difference?

We are delighted to welcome Cari Silverwood to BLI today to talk about a kinky subject related to Iron Dominance, her August 2011 Loose ID publication. Iron Dominance was released to rave reviews and has been nominated in 4 Categories in the Authors After Dark 2012 Bookie Awards!

Cari lives in Australia, with her lovely family including a prerequisite teenager who dwells in the dark bedroom catacombs…a husband who raises eyebrows when he catches glimpses of what she writes, and a furry menagerie of other animals barking, meowing, and swimming about the place.

Before writing her first novel, Three Days of Dominance she had never dipped her little toes in the hot and lust-swirled sea of erotica.
