M/M PARANORMAL AUTHOR OF THE WEEK: M. PETERS

I’m pleased to have with me here this week M/M Paranormal Romance Author, M. Peters.  I am a huge fan of your novel Undisclosed Desire, and am so glad you agreed to this interview. Thank you for joining us today.

COULD YOU PLEASE SHARE THREE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU?
Quiet, compassionate, introverted.

PLEASE ORGANIZE THESE WORDS, PLACING THE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU FIRST AND BRIEFLY EXPLAIN YOUR REASON. 
LOVE, FAMILY, FRIENDS, ANIMALS, WRITING, MUSIC, SEX, SPORTS, CHILDREN.
Love is the strongest force we have under our control, and binds the next three words together; writing is not a possibility without music, so they must go hand in hand, and sex was addressed earlier, included with love, so that’s why it went further down the list. Sports and children are last – no rug-monkey for me, and I abhor sports.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WRITING?
Since I learned how to spell, I think. My first stories were, of course, fanfiction, and I began writing those at seven and eight.
Javier
WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON RIGHT NOW?
The sequel to my novel, Undisclosed Desire, (tentatively titled War of Desire, but that will change, I expect), Amaroq’s own story (he’s the werewolf from Undisclosed Desire), a crime thriller featuring a cannibal and the cop who has to hunt him down, and possibly another M/M romance, as yet untitled.

Keith transitioning to wolf form
WHICH CHARACTER IN YOUR BOOK(S) DO YOU IDENTIFY WITH, AND WHY?
There’s a little bit of me in all my characters – I don’t identify just with one particular one. But I’d love to sit and have tea with Keith. Or my cannibal, Noir. Both of them fascinate me, for entirely different reasons.

SHARE THE NAMES OF A FEW AUTHORS WHO INSPIRE YOU.
Megan Peters, Suzana Wylie, Erin O’Quinn, Nya Rawlyns (who also writes as Diane Nelson) and Janus Gangi. All of them are INCREDIBLE authors, and without their input and support (as well as their own wonderful material) I wouldn’t be half the writer I am.

SHARE THE MUSIC/MUSICIANS THAT YOU LIKE AND HOW THEY ADD TO YOUR LIFE OR WRITING?
I need orchestral, instrumental pieces, or I end up typing the song lyrics on to my page, instead. So movie soundtracks from movies like Silent Hill, or The Dark Knight, even music from a WoW-esque RPG I play, is what I listen to when I’m writing.

IF YOU WEREN’T A WRITER, WHAT OTHER CAREER WOULD YOU CHOOSE? 
Oh, I’d work with the elderly in nursing homes or even in their own home. I did that for almost six years in Florida, and I loved it. That will be my ‘day job’ someday.

 EXCERPT FROM DISCLOSED DESIRE
 In this scene from Undisclosed Desire, Keith thinks he has at last got Javier in his clutches and his bed – but the young Spaniard, he finds, is full of surprises…
        When Keith dipped his head once more, Javier tensed, expecting another round of devilish tickling, but it didn't come.  Instead, Keith's lips nibbled and sucked at the thin line of sun-tinged hairs that marched downwards to the juncture of Javier's thighs.  He followed the map they provided, but leisurely, lifting each hair with practiced flips of his tongue and sucking the skin beneath.  Javier was arcing and twisting on the sheets, and Keith changed positions to avoid the frantic meeting of Javier's steel with his tinder before he was ready.  Now, he half-lay to the side of Javier, his long shape stretched almost lazily out on the dark bed their forms occupied.

        As Javier turned his head to regard the man with lust-tinged eyes, a wonderfully nasty idea occurred to him. He reached slowly down, trying as best he could to time his movements with Keith's ministrations, so the vampire would think his fingers were clutching in aimless passion rather than reaching for a goal.  His fingers closed suddenly and surely around the item he'd known he would find. When Keith opened his clothes and pushed them away, he had freed Javier's little dagger, but his amourous thrusts had only rid the bed of his lover's clothes, not his weapons.  Javier's right hand closed around its hilt and with a practiced flick of his wrist, he sliced at the fabric stretched tightly across Keith's engorged groin and tore a thin opening in the man’s breeches.

        Startled out of his sex-driven reverie as he'd just begun the descent towards Javier's straining shaft, Keith froze. The knife blade flickered within inches of unmanning him.  For a moment, he thought the boy bore him malice and had missed his goal. But when he lunged for the knife, he found Javier had already discarded it, and was instead bent on widening the rift he had torn with his weapon by using his hands. 
        Keith's lips spread in a smile. But suddenly his jaws parted , releasing a thick groan. as Javier wrested his cock free from its coverings.  The slightly cooler air of the room brushed a million kisses on his sensitive flesh,  He bent quickly to Javier's pubic bone, burying his face in the thatch of golden hair, his breath whuffing sweetly on the sensitive skin.
        For just a moment, Javier's hand released its prize as Keith's tongue licked down, just missing the very base of his passion.  He gasped and shoved upwards, hoping to entice Keith to move his attentions somewhat lower, to gain Javier the relief he needed from the pounding ache that burned in his loins.

        Keith pulled his head away at the last moment, and when he did, Javier vowed revenge.  Recalling what he'd done when he'd last lain with Ofelia a few days before, he twisted around, glad of the differences in their height.  Because of Javier's smaller frame, he could curl his body easily on his side and wrap his lips tightly around Keith's cock, lying in such a way that Keith would be left without leverage to push him away. After all, his hands would be trapped against Javier's body, which was balanced by the Spaniard's outstretched arm. 
        He leaned over on his left arm, his fingers opening and closing madly in the satiny coverlets as he leaned forward and swallowed Keith's erection as far as he was capable.

  1. Good morning, both of you scamps! This is a well organized and compelling interview which I truly enjoyed. Who'd-a-thunk, Mo, that you'd want to work in a nursing home, or that you (like myself) enjoy orchestral pieces of music.

    The only thing missing from your work, Morgann, is more. As in more of it, and soon.

    Best wishes for continued success. Love, Erin

  2. Great interview with a very underexposed writer I hope to see more from, soon!

  3. Aw, thank you two so much for coming by! And yes on both - I have always known I wanted to work to help people, but it took me until 2005 to figure out who it was I was equipped to help best (my family insisted it was kids and tried to get me to go the teacher route - NO THANKS). I love all aspects of elder care.

    And most of the underexposure is my own fault - admittedly, I don't do half as much promo as I ought to, but when I'm featured on such an incredible blog, it's a little easier to talk about myself all day, because people have GOT to see more of Alex's work!

    Thank you SO MUCH for having me on here today, Alex, and for all the work you put in to making my little interview here one of the most interesting and eyepopping blog posts I've ever seen - and between the ones on which I've been featured and all the ones I've stopped by to comment on when it's other writers being featured there, I've seen a good many. So thank you SO MUCH for doing all of this for me - you are AWESOME, and I can't wait to work with you again!

    Seriously, EVERYONE should be clamouring to be on this blog. :)) Thanks so much!

  5. Konnichiwa:
    I am not only hooked by the excerpt but bought Undisclosed Desires (hot, tasty M/M and vampires, who can resist?) on amazon just now. (Yeah for One-click) Can't wait to read it. Thank you for your interview. I plan on looking up the authors you mentioned who influenced and inspired you. Have a "Buffy" (as in duh!) question here: Did the authors you listed provide actual beta-type input to your novels as you wrote them and how did that come about?
    And thank you Alex :) for this blog and letting others meet exciting new authors like Morgann.

  6. Hey, there! Thank you SO much for stopping by AND for grabbing Undisclosed Desire! I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it. There IS a sequel in the works - a lot of things that are in the first book get resolved in the second, but somewhere along the way, things got stalled up, and it's not finished yet. But I hope you really enjoy it!

    And isn't this blog AMAZING?! Alex really made the place pop - this has got to be the best interview I've ever had, and it's certainly the best looking blog around. Thank YOU sooooo much! :)

    Anyway, to answer your questions, two of the authors that I listed up there did and do provide beta type input to my works. (And I'm ALWAYS happy for readers to do the same thing, whether on blogs like this or my Facebook/Twitter/Webpages). The most important member of those two I listed is my wife, Megan - she and I 'cowrote' the characters of Keith and Javier for years before she gave me the idea of actually writing how they met and from where they started their relationship (because, as with most things, I throw myself right into the middle of it and work out the past stuff as I go forward. I'm an unashamed 'writes-by-the-seat-of-her-pants' author). But Suzana Wylie, while she didn't directly beta Desire, was my first non-family-member supporter, and she's fed me a fair many ideas for its sequel - and for the books I can write AFTER the sequel that feature Keith and Javier. Thank you SO MUCH for your interest and support - if you have further questions, you can always find me on Facebook.

    Thanks again, and warmest regards!

    M. Peters
