"Watch the Skies"
From Alpha Fever 
by Tanith Davenport
She wants him. He wants her. 
They want to watch.
"Watch the Skies" was something of a departure for me. Not only was it my first time appearing in one of Gina Kincade's box sets, it was my first time writing an alpha female - and didn't that come as a surprise. I always like to write strong heroines. The era of the too-stupid-to-live heroine is behind us - or, if it isn't, it should be. But my heroes and heroines tend to be equals rather than dominant or submissive. The only dominant I'd ever written was Will Vandenmeer from "Ready for Him". So writing an alpha female was a leap, even if it was one I was looking forward to. "Watch the Skies" follows Aster Booker and Wade Sawyer, both members of a UFO investigation team. Aster wants Wade, but Wade seems to resent her very existence - her take-charge attitude makes him buck against her authority. While out on a vigil they are suddenly engulfed in light, waking up on an alien craft... naked, and hearing voices in their heads that tell Aster to fuck him, fuck him, fuck him. Suddenly Aster and Wade are forced to confront their desire for each other - but what do the aliens really want?

When she came to again, the light was fading. Dark shapes moved at the edges of her vision. Metal. Something metal underneath me. It was nothing like she had ever seen before and yet what it resembled most was a surgical bed. She was lying face down on a surgical bed. Naked. The lingering excitement she still felt began to dissipate as reality set in.

I've been abducted.

After all this time, after all the places they'd visited with minimal success, she hadn't just had an encounter, she'd actually been abducted. Her stomach clenched in fear. Almost immediately she felt another rush of desire. It's them, they're controlling it. She forced open her eyes, which had fallen shut and fought against the sensation to focus on her surroundings.

Her hands and feet weren't tied, that was good. Where were the others? Were they here? She cast a look round the room. The space seemed enormous; it was impossible to see the edges, they just vanished into the dark. Closer to her, all seemed to be white and metallic. The floor below shone a dull grey while the bed had a brighter layer and extending its edges where curves of metal that stood as a reminder of restraints.

To her right, she could see a second bed and Annah, sprawled on her back. She was still clothed, her blonde hair spilling over the edge of the bed, but her hands were restrained and Aster shivered. Further away she could see Hagar standing as if in a trance, her dark ponytail loosened around her shoulders, staring as if unseeing.

She looked to her left and immediately gasped. Wade was lying flat on his back completely naked, his body flushed and glistening with sweat. He wasn't tied, but he was sprawled as if he was, arms and legs spread wide to the edges of the table. Aster's eyes were immediately drawn down the line of blond fuzz to his cock, which stood proud in a nest of curls, straining towards the ceiling.

Oh God. I can't. I can't. Hastily she looked away, but the image lingered in her brain sending a frisson of longing through her body. She could picture herself mounting him, sliding his cock inside her, driving him into her over and over again. As the thought crossed her mind, she became aware of a dark shape directly in front of her. Looking at it was like looking into the sun. The edges were blurred, its shape difficult to determine. She had the impression of a head, of long fingers and of large eyes that bored into her soul.


Tanith Davenport began writing erotica at the age of 27 by way of the Romantic Novelists' Association New Writers' Scheme. Her debut novel "The Hand He Dealt" was released by Total-e-Bound in June 2011 and was shortlisted for the Joan Hessayon Award for 2012. Tanith has had short stories published by Naughty Nights Press and House of Erotica. She loves to travel and dreams of one day taking a driving tour of the United States, preferably in a classic 1950s pink Cadillac Eldorado. Tanith's idea of heaven is an Indian head massage with a Mojito at her side. 
Hello Tanith! Thank you for being here today! 
Hi everyone, it's lovely to be here!

Let's get started!

How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?

I'd been writing on and off for years but started writing for publication when I was about 28, while having an "oh God I'm nearly thirty" panic. My mentor for the Writer's News fiction course was a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association, so I joined their New Writer's Scheme and never looked back.

What are the best and the worst aspects of writing? 
My favourite part of writing is the research. I've found all sorts of weird information and had plenty of strange experiences while researching books. The worst aspect is probably writer's block - I've had days where I know what I want to write and I just can't get it down, which is seriously annoying.

What inspires you to write?
Frequently music - I'll usually have a playlist in my head for every story. Another source of inspiration is dreams, as I dream very vividly and have got some of my best ideas that way.

What is the title of your story included in Alpha Fever? How did you come up with this story?
My story is called "Watch the Skies", about a group of alien hunters who have an unexpected encounter while out on a vigil. I came up with the idea after watching "Chasing UFOs", a "Destination Truth"-style show following a team who investigated sites which had reported sightings. I've never claimed to know much about aliens - I'm more into ghost-hunting - but it struck me as an interesting concept.

How did you conduct your research for "Watch the Skies"?
I didn't manage to go on an actual alien hunt, but I did search out some investigative groups and looked up the sorts of things they do. I also read some books on cryptozoology, since the manner of gathering evidence is much the same.

What are 3 of your favorite lines/quotes from "Watch the Skies"?

- "Maybe I like making you beg."

- "For that, you get to eat me. Let's see how good you are."

- He was staring unashamedly, as though he had wanted nothing more in his life.

What would your friends say is your best quality?
Probably curiosity - I can take an interest in absolutely anything, no matter how strange. My husband likes to say I keep his brain active because at any time I can throw a random question at him based on what I'm writing - he's never let me forget the time I asked him if you could pin someone to a tree with a spear.

Are reader reviews important to you?
Very much so - I want my readers to enjoy what I write, although I know that everyone has their own preferences so not everything I do will be to everyone's taste.

Do you have any blogs/websites?
Yes - you can find me at http://tanithdavenport.com/

What do you do when you don’t write?
I'm the exception to the suggestion that "dinner and a movie" dates are boring - two of my favourite things to do are go to the cinema and try new restaurants. I love horror movies in particular, the scarier the better.

Tell us about your other books? 
I've been lucky to have the chance to try out a number of different genres within erotic romance. My debut novel "The Hand He Dealt" will always be my favourite - and, like this story, includes a pegging scene - but I'm also particularly fond of "Ready for Him", my foray into BDSM with a dominant billionaire, and "I Heard Your Voice", the first of two novellas about a paranormal investigator who can attract ghosts by singing.

I always try to include a strong heroine - I think the days of the too-stupid-to-live heroine are over - but "Watch the Skies" includes my first alpha heroine, which was certainly a departure for me. It was interesting to develop the dynamic between Aster and Wade - Wade isn't used to being dominated by women, while Aster isn't used to being rejected by men, so they were great fun to write.

If you could share one thing about yourself that you would like readers to know what would it be?
No matter how difficult it may be, I love every minute of my writing, and hope I can entertain my readers in the same way.

That was great! Thank you again!
It's been great to be here - thank you!

Between the Marshal & the Vampire
From Alpha Fever 
by Tricia Owens


Between the Marshal & the Vampire: "One man wants to protect her. The other, to taste her. Maybe they should share."

"You understand now, Marshal?" Vellum asked. Had there been a hint of smugness in the question, Clay might have reared up and threw a punch. But the other male's voice held only genuine hope.

"I understand," he said with a sigh. He probably should have felt embarrassed for how turned-on Vellum's bloodsucking had made him, but after what he'd just shared with Mariel? Pretty damn difficult to feel bad about any of that. "I had no idea." He raised his head and smiled down at Mariel's blissed-out expression. He caressed her cheek. "Is it always like that?"

"To varying degrees," Vellum answered. "I can control how affected you are, depending on whether I'd like some…participation."

Participation. Clay interpreted that to mean that sometimes the vampire liked to play with his food. That was disturbing in many ways, so Clay chose not to think about it.

"Are you angry?" Mariel asked after she'd opened her eyes. She smoothed her hands nervously down Clay's sides. "Those other times—"

"Don't bother me at all. And I can see why you were shy to come out and tell me." Clay kissed the tip of her nose, garnering a smile from her. "I'd keep that tasty secret to myself, too."

"But now you know." She bit her lip. "It won't be so bad traveling to Everton Fort, will it?"

He had to laugh. The situation was ludicrous. He and Mariel were at the mercy of a vampire who could make them feel incredible amounts of lust, and they didn't seem to mind it very much.

"We'll be just fine," he assured her.

Suddenly consciously of his cock hanging out of his trousers and Vellum hovering nearby, Clay shifted backwards up and off of Mariel. He tucked himself away and refastened his belt as he stood. Vellum had backed off but he still watched Clay and Mariel with that hunting intensity of his. It made Clay wonder: could the vampire have sex as humans did? Did he want to?

A question for later, because now that the vampire's pheromones or whatever it was no longer coursed through his veins, Clay's head was beginning to clear. He had to shake his head. He'd just made love to Mariel while a vampire was drinking the blood from his neck. Good Lord.

Tricia has been writing m/m fiction since 2002 when she opened her fiction website Juxtapose Fantasy to great success. She later partnered to create Joyboy Island. After a decade of writing for the sites, Tricia decided business demands were distracting her from producing novels, so she closed the sites and now writes at her leisure. Tricia has been a casino games dealer in Las Vegas and the onboard editor for a cruise ship. An avid traveler, Tricia has visited over 70 countries and tries to include aspects of her global experience in her books. Tricia writes romance novels in all sub-genres, including sci-fi, fantasy, contemporary, western and steampunk. She also writes urban fantasy and horror. Her cozy mystery novel, A Festival of Murder, was published by Kindle Press under the pen name Tricia Hendricks. If you’re looking for extensive world-building and memorable characters, you’ve come to the right place.
Hello Tricia! Thank you for taking the time to join us for an interview about your story in the Alpha Fever Book Set!
Hello! I'm happy to be here with you.

How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
I've been a writer since I was old enough to put sentences together. Since elementary school, I entered every essay contest that came through my schools. I owned those things. When I began winning a bunch of them I knew for sure that I was a writer. I was submitting poems and short stories to magazines when I was in junior high. Old school, too, with query letters and SASEs. It still boggles my mind that I was eleven years old and knew how to put together a submission package. Strangest thing I ever sold was a poem to a crop dusting magazine. Crop dusting! Who knew those guys read poems? I knew nothing about crop dusting, but I was 15 and I'd seen the magazine's entry in Writer's Market which said that it paid fifty dollars. Well, I received a contributor's copy but no fifty dollars. That was my first lesson on the publishing business, haha.

What are the best and the worst aspects of writing?
Best aspect, hands down, is that I'm creating the stories that I want to read. I don't have to hope that someone else writes them; I do it myself. Close behind is the freedom to be creative on my own schedule. Worst aspect is the lack of social interaction. It's just me and my computer and whoever's on Facebook at that time.

What inspires you to write?
The need to see a story told or to flesh out a character. Usually it's a combo of the two, like I'll come up with this interesting guy and I can envision his life unfolding and it kills me, just kills me, that if I don't write it, no one else will. So I write it.

What is the title of your story included in Alpha Fever? How did you come up with this story?
My story is called Between the Marshal & the Vampire. Since this is my first box set, I wanted to come up with something I've never done before just to continue the theme of 'firsts' for me. I've never written about a vampire, nor have I written a Western. Bam! Slam 'em together. No brainer. While I was coming up with the idea I was laughing at myself because let's face it, this concept is silly. But truth be told, I'm pretty proud of the story. I made it work and it's damn sexy.

How did you conduct your research for Between the Marshal & the Vampire?
I needed to investigate nineteenth century underwear for women. I'm normally not much for research, but I knew that underwear was going to be an issue in a love story. As in, the alpha's gotta get beneath it! So it was interesting finding websites dedicated to clothing of that time. Underwear sure has evolved a lot over time! From what I've seen, I expect we'll all be naked in about eight years.

What are 3 of your favorite lines/quotes from Between the Marshal & the Vampire?
"Yes, Mariel. I was once ordinary. A long, long time ago. Now, as you see, I'm extraordinary." —Vellum

"If I loved you, you wouldn't know what to do with it." —Mariel

"Always did like a woman who understands how much she's worth." —Marshal Clay

What would your friends say is your best quality?
They'd better say I'm funny or a few people are going to be in pain later on. Seriously, I'd like to say my brains or my charm or something, but all I've got is a witty one-liner or two.

Are reader reviews important to you?
I think many readers don't truly get just HOW important reviews are. A book without reviews or with very few is a gorgeous dress mysteriously hanging on the clearance rack. People are suspicious of it. They figure something's wrong with it. Unless it's a book by a familiar author, most people don't buy books that lack reviews. So please leave reviews and help an author out. J

Do you have any blogs/websites?
I do. My website is www.triciaowensbooks.com. I need people to visit it and make sure it works *wink wink*.

What do you do when you don’t write?
Nothing constructive, really. Okay, I take that back. I read, which is extremely helpful for a writer. Otherwise, bigger picture-wise, I like to travel. I'm always looking for a cool festival or convention to visit, or a country where I can spend some time.

Tell us about your other books?
I've written one other m/f/m ménage, which is Master of No One. That one's also a shifter story featuring a chimera. That's a fun one because the alpha really has his hands full with his two partners. Nothing's easy for them, and I take the time to make sure the romance develops naturally. Otherwise, all my alphas star in m/m books. I've got my Sin City series, which features the owner of a bodyguard agency in Las Vegas and his lover, and Juxtapose City, a series about elite police, empaths, and telepaths in a futuristic setting. I absolutely love to write about power dynamics, so you'll find that in nearly everything I write no matter the gender pairing.

If you could share one thing about yourself that you would like readers to know what would it be?
I write a lot about Las Vegas ('write what you know') and some readers aren't aware that I used to be a casino games dealer. I once dealt blackjack to Ben Affleck when I was working at the Hard Rock casino here in Vegas, and I absolutely killed him on the table. He couldn't win a hand. After I took all his chips, he stood up, said, "F*** you," and stormed off. So I've got that going for me. In truth, Ben and Matt, when they played there, were very nice and tremendously generous tippers, so Ben could have flipped the table on me and I would have been okay with that.

Thank you so much for stopping by today Tricia!
Thanks for reading this far without me having to beg you!
