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.

YA AND GLBT AUTHOR OF THE WEEK : KIA ZI SHIRU



I’m pleased to have with me here today gay fiction author Kia Zi Shiru.  Kia, as you know I’m a big fan of your work; you had me at Magical Roads, your initial effort. Thank you for taking time out to join us today.

COULD YOU PLEASE SHARE THREE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU?
Restless, curious, weird

PLEASE ORGANIZE THESE WORDS, PLACING THE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU FIRST AND BRIEFLY EXPLAIN YOUR REASON. 
FAMILY, WRITING, SEX, MUSIC, FRIENDS, ANIMALS, LOVE, SPORTS, CHILDREN
Family, Friends, Love, Writing, Sex, Music, Animals, Children, Sports.
Not sure how writing ended up in the middle but there are some things that are more important than writing. Sports are at the end, I haven’t found a sport that I like enough to put it any higher.
Family, friends and love are at the beginning since these are the most important for me, I wish I could stack them since they are all equally important for me.
Sadly enough this doesn’t show how much I love animals I really love love them but they rank lower than the other things on the list. Ahh, well.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WRITING?
On and off since I was 8, though serious since I was 21, which is almost 4 years ago now.

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON RIGHT NOW?
A vampire and vampire hunter story, with twins and guys with long sexy hair.

WHICH CHARACTER IN YOUR BOOK(S) DO YOU IDENTIFY WITH, AND WHY?
Anne from Black Sheep. She is strong and caring and even though she is flawed she doesn’t let it get her down.

SHARE THE NAMES OF A FEW AUTHORS WHO INSPIRE YOU.
Sean Michael, Daisy Harris, Tom Lennon, Alex Akira ;)
OMG, YOU PLUGGED ME! REALLY? LI’L OLE ME?

SHARE THE MUSIC/MUSICIANS THAT YOU LIKE AND HOW THEY ADD TO YOUR LIFE OR WRITING?
I listen to a lot of Japanese rock and metal music. It inspires me to keep writing and because I can’t understand the lyrics it’s easier for me to concentrate on something else but the music. Plus the music is very scenic and you can really hear the themes in the music, which makes it really easy to match music and type of writing I like to do.

IF YOU WEREN’T A WRITER, WHAT OTHER CAREER WOULD YOU CHOSE?
I always wanted to be either a vet or a teacher. Though teacher is probably more likely.

SHARE A BRIEF EXCERPT FROM YOUR LATEST WORK WITH US.
 
Excerpt from Disturbed Fate Book II
On impulse Chris unlocked his door, opened it a fraction and sat on his bed with a book. He hoped he could catch a glimpse of Alec without seeming too obvious. He started reading the book though he kept glancing up at the door. Anything to not seem too stalkerish, because that would be a bad first impression to make. He heard the door to the bathroom open and footsteps in the hallway. Travis had told him that after taking a shower they usually didn’t use the doors directly to their own rooms since it would fill up the rooms with steam—annoying maybe on other days, but lucky for Chris today.
He caught a glimpse of Alec as he walked through his line of sight. Then the footsteps stopped. Chris quickly looked at his book, acting as if he hadn’t opened the door on purpose. He heard Alec come over to his door and knock on it.
“Hey, you settling in okay?” Alec’s voice was light, not as deep as he expected it, but it was melodic, happy even.
“Yeah, everything is fine.” As Chris answered, Alec pushed the door open and leaned against the frame. Chris swallowed as Alec dried his long black dreadlocks and stood there, all innocent and open, in just a towel. He seemed to be unaware of his staring and Chris got enough courage to look him up and down.
Alec looked even better than the last time he had seen him. Not too bulky, a slim frame with strongly defined muscles. His chest and arm muscles moved gracefully under his tanned skin as he dried his hair. The moving stopped and Chris looked up, catching the sly smile in Alec’s eyes.
“Very well, I see.” The guy grinned. “I’m Alec.”
“I’m Chris. You’re Travis’ sparring partner, right?” Chris acted like he didn’t know much about him, though he probably knew more about Alec than he himself did.
“Yeah. How do you know him? You don’t seem like the type he normally hangs out with.” Alec walked into the room a bit further, one towel now fastened around his huge bundle of dreadlocks and the other still around his well-defined hips.
“We went to the same school.” Huge understatement, but Chris knew that there were parts of himself that Travis would rather not talk about. His past before he awoke as a vampire was one of them.
“Cool. So what do you think about the rest of the house, have you met them yet?”
“They seem nice, especially Jasper.” Chris grinned.
Alec reflected that same grin. “Nice doesn’t really cut it with him, but he is okay. He’s a good guy under all that scary muscle.”
“Good to know.” Chris looked away from Alec, trying to keep himself under control and not pull the towel off of him.
“Hey, um, I’m getting dressed. Do you wanna go to the party downstairs after? They seem to be having a great time.” Alec turned around and Chris got a good look at his back before he found his voice.
“Yeah, sure. I’ll join you.”
“Great, I’ll be back in a bit then.” Alec shot him one last glance over his shoulder before he closed the door behind him.
Chris sighed. Damn, Alec was even sexier than he remembered. Chris didn’t get why Travis didn’t want him—Alec was way hotter than that Nick Travis was dating now.
