The Fires of Beltane ~ What was supposed to be a
celebration of life turns into a festival of fear…
Natalie and William meet at an annual springtime festival, where, unknown to the participants, there is someone using the festival to exploit its darker history. This night will test Natalie and William's attraction, but could it also cost them their lives?

Dipping my toes…where they belong?
Most writers I know like to explore. Like the curious cat, we
try to see how the story will flow if it goes one way as opposed to another.
Sometimes, the story will take us in a direction we never saw coming, but it’ll
work.
This was the case for me when I wrote The Fires of Beltane, my newest release with Total E-Bound. My
curiosity got the better of me in many ways. One, this is an erotic horror
story. I love horror and am thrilled because of this alone. And before you ask,
yes, erotic and horror go very well together. Think about it: the next time
you’re at a horror flick. Would you rather sit and huddle to your lonesome
self, or have some handsome guy by your side to help distract you from the more
gruesome parts? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
As I wrote The Fires of Beltane, the big curiosity leap for me came in the form of a short f/f
scene and a couple, lengthier m/m scenes. I’m not opposed to either (obviously,
I wrote ‘em), but this story is the first time I’ve had either published. You
know what? I had a great time writing these scenes. Yes, the story is
predominately m/f, but let’s face it, the setting is the festival of Beltane. A
celebration of fertility, sex, being naked together. In short, a great big
orgy.
Did I know I would write same-sex scenes when I started the
story? Honestly, no. When my fingers were tapping away at the keyboard, the
relationships, the backgrounds, the reasons and whys and why not’s started
taking over, and before I knew it, I was inside my hero’s head and he was hot and
heavy inside his best friend. It was wild!
But I’d rather give you a taste for yourself. Marie’s warned
me not to get too explicit here, so I’ll tease you a little from my website, here.
