    Top Chatter

    Top Chatters for the Month

    Because the person who gets the most comments in a month is not always the
    person who

    gets the most page views per month, I instituted the Top Chatter Award.
    This is the award for the person who receives the most comments. It goes to the
    top three people in that category. To win, a guest must have five or more comments
    (not counting the guest author’s).

  • Character Interviews,  Paranormal

    Dylan Holt from The Assistant @KTBlack_author #incubi #succubus #RLFblog

    Interview with Dylan Holt

    This interview is designed for your hero or heroine to tell
    readers about himself or herself. 
    Tell us about
    yourself, please.
    I come from a long line of
    succubus/incubi, and history hasn’t always painted my kind in the best light,
    nor has it gotten things completely accurate. I’m not a “Demon”, but
    I’m not human either, even though I do resemble one. An extremely attractive
    one. <Shrugs and grins smugly>. I know that makes me sound egotistical,
    but it’s part of how I’m able to draw humans to me.
    So, I’m guessing you’re wondering
    if part of what you’ve heard is true. Do I enter into dreams and tempt humans
    with erotic suggestions? Absolutely! It is my nature after all. The sexier the
    dreams, the more potent the energy for me to feed from.
    Now don’t look at me like that.
    Before you go judging me, I must point out that this isn’t entirely one-sided.
    I don’t drain the life force of anyone I’m involved with. I do take what I
    require, but I also give them something in return. The inspiration to pursue
    the thing they desire most.
    As far as me in general, I’m a bit
    of a wanderer, able to adapt to any situation. A true “Jack of All Trades”.
    I’m a whiz with modern technology, which comes in handy. For a long time I
    thought I was happy moving from town to town, person to person, and then I
    encountered Elise Bennette. That’s when everything changed. She made me want to
    set down roots and get lost in her dreams.
    What can you not do (but
    need to do) during this story?
    I’m much more than I appear. I need
    to be honest with Elise, and show her the real me, but I fear once she learns
    all the details, it will drive her away.
    What inner doubt
    causes you the most difficulty?
    Trusting that I can find someone to
    love and accept me for what I am. Until I met Elise, I seemed to only  find two types of people. Those who thought I
    was a freak, when they discovered what I’m able to do, and others who were
    drawn to me because of what makes me unique.
    Tell us about your
    significant other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    From the first time I encountered
    Elise Bennette I knew she was special. She is a strong, smart, beautiful woman
    full of many wondrous dreams. She just needed someone to believe in her when
    others had let her down.
    What would that
    person say about you?
    I’m reliable and a hard worker. She
    tries to pretend she doesn’t like me, but I know better. Even if I didn’t
    possess the abilities I do, she’s made it more than obvious that she’s
    interested in me.
    What special skills
    do you rely on?
    When humans let down their guard, I
    can look in, examine their dreams. Dreams give a lot away about a person. It
    shows their hopes and fears, but I am respectful about what I discover.
    I also have the ability to enhance
    dreams, make them seem real. It helps to entice the human I’m pursuing to keep
    dreaming. If things progress to an intimate relationship, even better, but I
    don’t generally stick around after the relationship is consummated.  
    Why are you happy (or
    not happy) with the way your story ended?
    You’ll have to read the story to learn
    mine and Elise’s fate.

    About the Writer

    K.T.
    Black often mixes genres when creating her romance stories. Whether her (F/F or
    F/M) stories are filled with witches or regular people, they frequently include
    mystery/suspense, sci-fi, fantasy or paranormal elements. She never limits the
    direction her imagination takes her when telling a good story.
    When she’s not writing, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, going
    to movies, cooking, traveling, playing video games, and meeting
    interesting/eccentric people–many of whom help color the worlds she creates
    while writing.
    What was your biggest
    challenge in writing this book?
    Mostly finishing it. My life turned
    upside down a few months ago. I’m still trying to get back to my regular
    writing routine.
    Why did you choose
    this character for the interview today?
    I felt I needed to elaborate a bit
    more about Dylan’s background. What better way than to have him tell you first
    hand.
    When writing the
    book, what did you discover about this character that surprised you?
    Dylan started out as a regular guy,
    but as usual, I ended up taking a paranormal turn with him. This often happens.
    I think I’m in control and it’s the characters that show me what to write.
    Are any sequels
    planned for this book?
    This is a stand alone, but I am
    considering doing a series based around it once I finish with another series
    I’m currently working on. I write both F/F and F/M and see some interesting
    potential with this plot line.
    Why should readers
    who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?
                I believe that my stories read like
    you’re watching a movie. That you, as the reader, will be completely immersed
    and caught up in the energy of the story.
    Is there anything
    you’d like to say to your readers?
    I appreciate each and every one of
    you who have taken a chance to delve into the world of my imagination. I hope
    you enjoy reading what I write as much as I enjoy writing it.

    About the Book

    Paranormal
    Author:   K.T. Black
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Elise Bennette doesn’t do
    relationships … even though her sexy-as-hell new assistant has her consumed by
    erotic daydreams. But things aren’t what they appear to be, and her dream life
    and real life are beginning to blur. Will her fantasies eventually become real
    or will a secret shatter the illusion?
