Book
Spotlight: The Forsaken Series
Good
afternoon my lovelies! Sorry I haven’t been around the last few days … I had a
family issue that needed to be dealt with and I am just now getting back to
blogging life. So to say hello to you all, I thought I would tell you about a
series I came across that intrigued me. The books are part of The Forsaken
Series and there are a couple of contributing authors I would like to
introduce not only to you, but myself.
**The FORSAKEN SERIES**
Among us walk immortal beings – cursed to hide within the
shadows they live along side us as they have for centuries. Using, feeding,
living off the mortals so reviled for their weakness – yet there are some who
will be awakened and immortality will be given.
Now, an ancient
evil stirs – rising to threaten not only the Immortal Realms but the mortal
world. A cursed vampire General stirs, plotting his revenge on those who have
forsaken him…but he’s forgotten about the innocent, who like him have been punished.
There are those
who are Forsaken.
It could be anyone
among us…

I tend
to write a bit edgier genre than my alter ego, Patricia
Bates, currently my works include the Forsaken Series: A dark,
fairytale paranormal series featuring vampires, demons, succubus, and
many other mystical creatures.
As well, I'm neck deep in working on the first of what I hope becomes a trilogy of m/m erotic romances featuring strong, sexy Canadian heros. So check back regularly to get to know some sexy heros, strong willed heroines, and villians you can love to hate!

Reading and writing is a wonderful
diversion from an often-difficult world. I love to create my own stories and
have control over how things will end. It’s exciting to create brand new worlds
and characters. My imagination can come alive.
In sci-fi and paranormal stories, I can invent wonderful places and
people. Anything is possible in these genres and that’s limitless. I’m able to
create an escape into a special world filled with unique and fantastic things
and there is always a happy ending.
A high school teacher inspired me to write. However, instead of
initially pursuing my writing career I became a lawyer. I work in divorce
court, so erotic romance is a great escape. There can be true love and
happy-endings, at least on my pages.
My two children and I have two good-humored dogs that share our home and
ease our stress. I have traveled and lived all over the world and these
experiences have given me great creative ideas. I look forward to creating many
more adventures in romance.
The first
book, Forsaken Heart by Elise
Whyles is set to release in April 2012. The second book Curse of a Dargon’s Claim by Ciara
Lake will release shortly
after.
**FORSAKEN HEART**
Punished
for sins not her own, can a mortal claim her vampire mate?
The
world of immortals must unite to save both themselves and the mortals they
co-exist with from an ancient evil.
For Bede
MacTaggert this means trusting in the warrior sent for her sister—a man of
mystery, of power, and one who could easily sweep her into a world she's
destined to be part of.
An imperial
guard to the king of vampires, Gawain has always tuned out the needs of the
flesh. Dedicating himself to the service of the royals, he's lived on the
fringes of his people for centuries. Now he's forced from the shadows and into
the arms of a woman who will awaken his heart and body to a passion unequaled.

Warning: sexy alpha vampire, explicit sex, violence
**CURSE
OF A DARGON”S
CLAIM**
The realm of the dragons is a world of magic, danger, and mystery. For centuries they've been at war with the vampires, but now the two enemies must work together to save all immortals, and the mortals they co-exist with, from an ancient evil. In order to do so, they need the help of the Forsaken, descendants of immortals who were cast out into the human realm, their memories wiped clean of their true heritage.
Clayne MacDagon is a powerful dragon warrior who is sent on a mission to find one of the Forsaken. Although he's told that this woman is his fated mate, he can't believe it could possibly be true. Arianna Mergliano possesses both dragon and vampire blood, and Clayne has an intense hatred for anything even remotely related to vampires, the evil beings who were responsible for his beloved twin's death.
When Arianna meets Clayne, she's convinced that the man is insane, or maybe he's a warlock or even the devil himself, but whichever it is, she wants nothing to do with him.
Clayne knows he can't fail at his mission. And once he meets Arianna he also knows that what he's been told is true—she is, ironically, his intended mate.
Convincing her to accept him is only the beginning. He has to protect her from those who might want her dead. Together, they must face the shadows and evil that have long plagued the immortal realms and find a way to survive the coming war.
Content Warning: graphic sex, some violence
