Please tell us a bit about yourself:
Though works of fiction are a departure for me,
I've had this series simmering on the back burner of my mind for years. In
addition to authoring and illustrating Seasons
of the Witch, I play rock music and manage one of Houston's premier
R&B/ Variety/ Pop bands.
I have a formal education in Parapsychology,
an M.A. in psychology, and years of "hands on" experience in the
field. This series will eventually include some of my actual experience with
fictionalized anecdotes from my journals during the years when she was a practicing
"metaphysician", but most of the material is fantasy - of course.

The
Witch's Dream, The Order of
the Black Swan, BOOK TWO
By Victoria Danann
a
love letter to Paranormal ROMANCE
Genre: Paranormal ROMANCE
Publisher: 7th
House, Release Date: October 14, 2012
BOOK
DESCRIPTION: From New York to Ireland to Edinburgh to Siena
to the Texas Hill Country to Napa Valley, a secret society, a witch, a demon, a
psychic, a berserker, an ex-vampire, modern day knights, heroes, werewolves,
elves and fae come together where emotions intersect. The story maps a trail
from rages to epiphanies, but, in the end, proves that true love can find you
in the strangest places, when you're least expecting it, even when you're far,
far from home.
SYNOPSIS: He was left behind when Elora Laiken made her choice. Now he’s had it with love, but a transplanted witch who happens to be the world’s best tracker hopes she can change his mind.
The Witch’s Dream begins with B Team on temporary assignment to Black Swan headquarters in Edinburgh where they are supposed to fill in for stretched-thin resources and assist with a werewolf issue. They’ve been given permission to stop in Ireland for a few days and help celebrate a handfasting at the palace in Derry.
When they reach Edinburgh, the afterglow of an elftale wedding quickly turns all business. A missing person report turns into a demon abduction. A simple werewolf sanction becomes a diplomatic issue requiring the one thing Elora is no longer willing to give - finesse.
INCLUDES: The first chapter of the third book, The Summoner's Tale.
Erotic content: 18+ A few steamy scenes. No menage. No BDSM.

What inspired you to write this particular
story?:
I have no answer for that. I read Kresley Cole's
Immortals series three years ago then spent two years reading everything in PNR
that had achieved any success so that I would know what had already been done.
Then I set out to create something unique. I love comments like "explodes
stereotypes".
Which comes first for you – a character's
looks, personality or name?:
Name is last. Looks and personality are inextricably
interwoven in my mind.
Any tips for aspiring authors?:
Yes, but you may not like it. I do not think this is an
occupation that can be taught. (See 'Dead Poets' Society'.) A course or
workshop is never going to make you a great writer - it may even detract. My
advice is to find something else to do.
Questions for fun:
If you had the power of time travel, is there
anything you would go back and change?
Oh, yeah. What a great question! But, it's
personal.
What super-power would you choose?:
Shapeshifting.
If you could have three wishes, what would they
be?
1. love 2. health 3. happiness
Coffee, tea or wine?
Mike's Hard Lemonade
What is your favourite book? (aside from one of
your own!)
Memnoch the Devil, Anne Rice
Favourite genre and why?:
Paranormal Romance
because it enables us to create worlds of fantasy perfection with one-woman
heroes who only have eyes for her. Permanently.
Favourite colour?:
Red.
Upcoming news and plans for the future?:
The
third book, The Summoner's Tale,
releases February 14, 2013. The fourth book of the series, A Tale of Two Houses, releases June 13, 2013. Plus, I am also part
of a Valentines' anthology entitled Heart
of the Beast.
Thank you so much for taking the time to talk
to us!
