Today we have a special guest...Eden Glenn!
Some Q&A with Eden...
1. Who is your favorite character
in this book and why?
My favorite character in Phoenix Reborn is Tameron Murphy. I
spent many years being a care giver and can relate to the mixed burden/joy that
is. When I finished the story I realized it was a lot about that journey of
seeking help and getting relief so you can enjoy the things that brought you to
love the person in the first place. Often that love gets buried under the day
to day struggle.
2. What inspires you for your
stories?
I find inspiration in everyday things. The Amethyst Desire
Collection came to me when I saw an amethyst necklace. The first story a
menage’ erotic romance “Raynia’s Magic” came from that first contact with the
pendant. Other stories have emerged with the ‘perhaps’ magical pendant being
featured as a prop.
3. Tell us something no one else
knows about you.
Humm, let’s see. I was taught to swim by a Weekie Wachie
Mermaid.
4. What genre classification
would you put on your book and what would you consider the heat level of the
romance?
My stories are short novella’s and novellettes at this
juncture. They are all definitely erotic romance. Some are paranormal, some
contemporary and one even a historic. The couple parings range from male/male,
female/female and all combinations of menage’ and polyamorous partnering.
Phoenix Reborn is an erotic paranormal lesbian romance featuring two strong
women shapeshifters.
5. When did you start writing and what
kicked off your passion to be an author?
Funny question. I wrote my first romance when I was 14. It
was a western. Think Zane Grey meets Twilight via Shades of Grey. I remember
thinking it was wonderful and it involved a lot of kidnapping, bondage in
panoramic western settings. LOL. It was horrible. I don’t even know where it
ended up. I wrote it by hand in a notebook. Oh how far authors have come since
then.
In 2005 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and to escape the
reality of that stage of my life I started writing again. This time is was an
erotic space romance. Think Star Wars meets Spartacus. Equally horrible.
However, that led me to find the Romance Writers of America and sparked my
involvement with First Coast Romance Writers. I finally had the opportunity to
start learning the craft of writing.

BLURB
Phoenix shifter,
Phyro Khant, and her dragon bodyguard, Tameron Murphy, are two loners that
bonded together for love and safety. But their never-ending need to evade the
dark witches that hunt Phyro for her Phoenix tears, blood and more, has worn
them down and flat lined their relationship.
When Tam purchases
Phyro an amethyst pendant from Salynne’s Crystals and Thyme, her efforts
to imbue the stone with protective power backfires and grabs them with a spell
previously coded into the stone. The magic ignites an inferno of passion the
two lovers can’t seem to quench with any amount of sex.
Will their
explosive passion be enough to teach them how to trust in time to accept the
help they need from outsiders or will the witches win their final bid for power
and control of the phoenix magic?
Excerpt
Her eyes fluttered shut. She slowed
her breathing, sinking deeper to a place of in between. She drifted in and out
of consciousness wishing she could remember what had happened to leave her in
this battered state, naked on the ground. Naked seemed to indicate that at some
juncture she had shifted to avian form to escape someone. How else could she
have gotten this deep into the forest? She couldn’t worry about being safe or
not, there wasn’t energy to fight. Be calm and let her Phoenix nature do its
job. She’d trust to come out the other side stronger.
She willed her body to heal and
grasped at wisps of memory. A metaphysical pull tugged inside her, one of loss
and longing. Struggling to sit up, she gasped for breath in shallow pants. The
raw clenched energy twisted her again. Tam! She needed to be home with her
mate. Something had drawn her from their apartment without leaving word for Tam
that she would be away. Phyro shook her head trying to clear her thoughts. No…
bad idea, too soon. She groaned and lay back. Damn. Five minutes more. The
setting sun warmed her skin.
The energy wrenched her again. Her shape
dissolved and reformed without conscious thought or will to follow the summons
of her chosen mate. She took to the air in Phoenix form with a scream of
exhilaration at her freedom, flying toward the source.
