Lily squirmed in her seat. She leaned towards the window, letting her finger rub the leather. The rhythmic motions allowed her to admit, “I’m sorry that they did that to you. You didn’t deserve to be…tortured…that way.”
“As opposed to what? Torture is torture, Lily. You know that.”
“Very passionate for a man of your honor. I am heartened to see you only control ice but are not entirely made of it.” Director H. reached out and touched Yukio’s colorless hair. “It’s too bad we’ll have to cut this. It seems so long ago since I had hair like yours. Seeing it makes me remember.”
I’m very happy to announce the release of my short story “Love Unfortunate” in PDF and Amazon Kindle formats. This piece is the inspiration for my current WIP novel tentatively titled, “Sleeping Poison.” Keeping in vein with all my work, it is dark, angsty, morally ambiguous, and meant to be read with an open mind.
Gaijin is 76 pages long and hits 21,100 words. RG hooks you in from the first sentence and doesn’t let go. Her palette is swift, poetic, and violent. Strangers to Japan see this alien world through eyes marked with confusion, fear, fascination, and lust.
The demons seemed content to possess Ashley. Now, they needed another conscience to ply their venom. Ashley, usually in perfect control of her bountiful emotions, had been a thorn in his side ever since Halloween.
Katherine watched the scenery pass without care for detail. The gray sky reflected the colors inside her, inside Mikhail. Aware as she was of him, she wished she could say the same for the visions forming in her head.
However, despite my authoring tendencies, I do like to travel the fluffier side of life. And the nerdy side too. My sense of humor ranges from crude to…well, crude, but I like cute, cuddly things as well.
“Ha! Like you really feel this. Try it on someone who doesn’t know how much pain your kind can really take. Or how much you really like it.”
Julian smirked in agreement.
It started as a game. Harmless on the surface, designed to chase away the ennui of a bored werewolf prince, it required her delicious innocence and vicious instinct.
Given my writing proclivities it comes as no surprise that I would enjoy the tormented dynamics between Mad Men characters Pete Campbell and Peggy Olson. Angst junkies who have never seen Mad Men and are on the fence should take this post as a shove. Take these mini-spoilers to heart, watch Seasons 1-3, become obsessed, and squirm with me as we all wait for Season 4.
I write dark paranormal love (and hate) stories, dark erotic romance, and dark erotica under three different pen names. (What can I say? I like it dark!)
I plan on using this blog to share my newest releases, fiction by other authors I adore, plus music and movies that all speak to my fixation on obsessive love stories.
Read about the three sides of CDC below and hopefully you'll find we share the same likes. :)
Claudia D. Christian plays with vampires, demigods, saints, sinners, and monsters. She mixes love, hate, sex, and violence in equal measure. She crafts endings with hope but makes her characters burn in hell before they get there.
Charlotte DeCorte explores dark erotic romance without a paranormal bent. She writes from the viewpoint that not all relationships are or want to be grounded in the traditional rules of courtship.
D. Cristiana explores the darker side of committed relationships. The settings and situations may be unconventional, the desires corrupt, and the sex explicit, but she’s a firm believer in happy-for-that-particular-couple-endings.
It’s so awesome to know I’m not the only one who’s...
