BLURB:
Sometimes, when life gives you lemons, all you can do is
try to avoid paper cuts.
Since becoming oracle to the demivampire two years ago,
advice columnist Sophie has battled werewolves and survived a vampire attack
(or two). However, not only was she powerless to save her lover Marek when he
slipped to the brink of evolution, she also witnessed his transformation into a
falcon, the symbol of Horus United.
Sophie’s quest to save Marek is further complicated when
rock star Dierk Adeluf – who also happens to be the king of the Werekind –
invites her backstage after a concert. Just when it seems she will find respite
from heartache, Sophie is bitten by a werewolf and Dierk decides she is
destined to be his queen.
Sophie is caught between the demivamps she loves and the
Were who commands her to love him. Throw in his jealous wanna-be girlfriend—a
true bitch if ever there was one—and an ambush by witches, and there you have
the big mess that Sophie calls her life. And, hello? Her soul mate is still a
bird.
She’s supposed to be the girl with all the answers, but
Sophie needs more than a little advice--she needs divine intervention.

BIO
Ash Krafton is a
writer of all things spec fic. She believes spectacular endings make the best
beginnings… Why not? One billion black holes can’t be wrong.
Her first novel
BLEEDING HEARTS: Book One of the Demimonde is available through Pink
Narcissus Press. The manuscript earned finalist distinction in
several Romance Writers of America 2011 competitions and has earned several
other awards. The follow-up BLOOD RUSH (Demimonde #2) was published in 2013 and
the third installment WOLF’S BANE (Demimonde #3) is expected
mid-2014.
Her urban fantasy
novelette STRANGER AT THE HELL GATE is available through the Black
Rose line of The Wild Rose Press.
In addition to
novel-length fiction, Ash enjoys writing poetry and short fiction, some of
which earned awards and distinction in several national competitions. One of
her poems was selected as a Pushcart prize nominee. She’s a member of
Pennwriters, RWA, Pikes Peak Writers, SFPA, and the Maryland Writers
Association. She also contributes to Query Tracker’s blog at http://querytracker.blogspot.com.
Ash resides with her
family in a rural town in the heart of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal region.
She’ll never leave, either, because coal is just another example of a
spectacular ending waiting for a brilliant beginning. (It’s kinda fitting.) And
because, like a black hole, once you’re in…
…you can never get
out.
