Deanna:
First things first. Where you and what are you wearing?
Erzabet:
A stunning black leather corset and matching micro skirt.
Deanna:
Wow! Sexy! Now what’s your poison? Vodka? Gin? Beer?
Erzabet:
Tres
Leches Caketini via Snappy Gourmet (God I love her
website!)

vodka
• 4 tablespoons heavy cream (or
milk/half&half)
• 3 tablespoons evaporated milk

milk
• 1½ teaspoons vanilla/yellow packaged
cake mix
• cajeta (or caramel or dulche de
leche)
• whipped cream
Mix
vodka, cream, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cake mix in shaker
with ice. Shake for about 30 seconds.
Drizzle
cajeta in glass. Strain drink into glass and top with whipped cream.
Erzabet:
I hope you like it. (((hands Deanna a couple of glasses and a tray of sexy
corset cookies))). How can a drink be bad if it has cake in it?
Deanna:
(((pours them both a round))) Cheers! Now that we’re comfy, tell me about your
new book? (((sips on her cocktail)))
Erzabet:
(((sips cocktail and takes a bite out of corset cookie))) I have several! Let
me see…I have the Sci Spanks anthology, The Big Book of Submission, Can’t Get
Enough, Slave Girls, Fetish Fair, Sigil Fire and Club Rook the serial. Whew! I
have been a busy girl!
Deanna:
Where did the idea for these stories come from?
Erzabet:
(((reaches for a bottle of water and offers one to Deanna)))The story from Sci
Spanks is the start to a longer urban fantasy piece that will be out hopefully
later this year. It is called Red Moon Rising and is a twist on one of my
favorite fairy tales. The Big Book of Submission, Slave Girls and Can’t Get
Enough are three awesome anthologies from Cleis. They got publisher of the year
and are just the best to work with. (((grins and takes sip of drink))) Sigil
Fire is my first novella featuring Fae and Sonia, a succubus and vampire duo.
Stay tuned for some short stories in their world and at least two more
novella/novels.
(((rubs
hands together))) Fetish Fair is my first erotic choose your own adventure
story from Silk Words (with more on the way) and Club Rook is a serial fiction
project with Angels of Anarchy. These two have such unique formatting! (((takes
another drink and sighs)))I really love them. Choosing your own erotic
adventure and hanging out with a bunch of poly amorous women with an angel
fixation gives a girl a really good time if you know what I mean.
Deanna:
What was the hardest part of writing these stories for you?
Erzabet:
(((takes another bite of cookie and gulps some water)))Fitting everything in
time wise. I work a full time job and juggle two pen names. It can be a
challenge to say the least. But I freaking love what I do. So many different
styles of writing keeps me busy and happy. (((giggles and takes a drink of the
Caketini)))
Deanna:
(((pours them another round))) Boy, these things are tasty!! Now, what’s the
easiest thing about writing your books?
Erzabet:
Finishing the edits and pressing go. The rest can sometimes feel like giving
birth. Lol.
Deanna:
Are you a plotter or a panster?
Erzabet:
A little of both. I write out a bare bones skeleton on a legal pad, use my
white foam core board and a bunch of sticky notes and then I start writing.
(((makes hand gestures like putting sticky notes on the wall)))
Deanna:
How long have you been writing?
Erzabet:
Since I was a child, but it has only been the last two years that things really
began to click for me.
Deanna:
Do you ever have writers block? On those occasions that I do, I usually have a
cocktail … or three…LOL But that’s just me.
Erzabet:
(((rocks back in chair))) Yes. Working as many hours as I do, I get tired and
the brainpan gets fuzzy. I try to use the time when I am doing mundane tasks to
mill ideas around in my head so I can be more productive in the time I do have
to write. When that doesn’t work, I do laundry or go take a short nap.
Deanna:
Most of my stories have a theme song, do you do that for your characters?? If
so what is it?
Erzabet:
I don’t usually write to anything but classical music. I review music in my
other writing life and can’t focus on the words and beat without getting into
reviewer mode.
But,
if I were to pick some songs from the Erzabet Playlist it would be these to
start with:
The
MP3 album for Club Rook for when I’m writing the serial
Anything
by Peter Phippen (Native American flute), Nine Inch Nails, Peter Murphy,
Florence and the Machine, Sia,
“Demons”
by Imagine Dragons, “Torpedo” by Jillette Johnson, “My Oh My” by Tristan

Lambert, “Boom Clap” by Charli XCX, “Not About Angels” by Birdy
Deanna:
Oh wow! That’s a list!!! You have a couple of my favorites on there! Now tell
us about a scene that you have written then afterwards, when you read it, you
shocked yourself? You know I want a dirty answer (((hint hint)))
Erzabet:
(((blushes and plays with cookie))) It’s funny that you ask that. *chuckles* I
cut my teeth writing erotic short stories.
When I went to write the sex scene for Sigil Fire, I swear I used the p
word so many times I made myself blush. You just don’t notice in the crazy
deadline induced coma you find yourself in, or at least at that point I didn’t.
*blushes* It wasn’t until I re-read the scene after it was published and had to
grab some smexy scenes for excerpts that I realized. “Oh wow. Smuterific…”
Deanna:
LOL Now let’s wrap this up! Cuz I need another drink! Tell my readers what
goodies you brought with you today!

Sigil
Fire
by
Erzabet Bishop
Blurb:
Sonia
is a succubus with one goal: stay off Hell’s radar. But when succubi start to
die, including her sometimes lover, Jeannie, she’s drawn into battle between
good and evil.
Fae
is a blood witch turned vampire, running a tattoo parlor and trading her craft
for blood. She notices that something isn’t right on the streets of her city.
The denizens of Hell are restless. With the aid of her nest mate Perry and his
partner Charley, she races against time before the next victim falls. The
killer has a target in his sights, and Sonia might not live to see the dawn. Sample
read
Excerpt:
Blood
pounded in her temples, and Sonia’s feet hit the pavement. Tears blurred her
vision as the reality of what almost happened sunk in. He was the killer, and
he knew where she lived. He was a fallen angel.
Turning
the corner, she saw the tattoo parlor and picked up her pace. The shadows
mocked her from every angle. He would be out there waiting. His oily presence
oozed unholy joy at her panic, and she stumbled, almost losing her footing on
the uneven sidewalk. Footsteps echoed on the street behind her, and in her
panic, she couldn’t distinguish between friend and foe.
The
glass doors loomed large, windows covered with posters of the latest trends in
piercing and ink.
Pulling
maniacally on the door, Sonia let out a howl of frustration to discover it
locked. “Son of a bitch! Oh Goddess! Open up!” Tears ran down her face, and she
tore at the door, hoping for some weakness that would allow her entry.
Something. Anything.
She
bit back a sob and staggered backward. It was over. He would find her in
moments.
The
street had become too quiet and the echo of sinister laughter crept along the
edge of darkness. The bastard was playing with her.
Fear
shot through Sonia’s body, numb and cold, causing her to yelp as the doors
rattled behind her.
The
sound of a barking dog came from the interior of the shop.
A
voluptuous dark-haired woman leaned out, the bluish light illuminating her
features with beams of icy radiance. “If you’re looking for a corner, succubus,
you’ve picked the wrong one. Move it along.”
Sonia
stepped closer to the door, turning her head into the light. “I’m here to see
Fae.” She wrapped her arms around herself, shivering. The T-shirt and jeans had
been warm enough earlier, but the air had turned chillier.
“Red?”
The woman’s eyes grew wide. She assessed Sonia’s every movement.
Sonia
shook her head, tears pricking at the corner of her eyes. “Do you know me?
The
barking of a dog sounded closer, and the dark-haired woman drew back as the
little body pushed past her.
Sonia
leaned down. “What are you doing here?”
The
little dog barked furiously, wagging its tail and whining. Its furry little
face searched Sonia’s, and it jumped against Sonia’s leg, licking her hand.
“Hey
there. Glad to see you made it home.” Sonia reached down at petted dog’s head.
Snorting,
the dog rubbed its head against Sonia’s hand, letting out a delighted sound.
“Your
dog knows me.” Sonia searched the dark-haired woman’s face. “I saved it. In the
alley yesterday. There was a demon trying to take it.”
“Jellybean,
what have you been doing?” Fae returned her gaze to Sonia and stared hard. “You
saved her? How?”
A
frustrated snort came from the dog, and she growled at the shadows.
“You’re
lucky that you have a hellhound to watch over you. Someone must have loved you
a lot.”
The
woman’s face softened. “My mother. Jellybean was the last gift she gave me
before she died.”
“Can
you please let me in?” Sonia glanced behind her. The shadows grew longer, and
the temperature continued to drop. The street was deserted now. “I need to see
Fae. Monty sent me.” Sonia hated that her voice shook. She couldn’t help but
notice the woman who blocked her path was intoxicating. The stranger’s dark
hair rippled in the cold light of the shop, and her tight fitting shirt
revealed far more than it chose to conceal. Her eyes burned black in the
darkness, and despite her fear, Sonia felt herself falling inside them. They
were safe. Familiar somehow. It didn’t make sense.
“Why
the hell would Monty send you here?” The woman straightened, and the illusion
of a simple shop owner vanished.
Jellybean
barked. The dog’s body tensed, and she stood in front of Sonia, protecting her
from the darkness beyond. The energy on the street grew malignant. The dog’s
eyes flashed red and power radiated from her.
Sonia
and the woman stared, momentarily speechless.
“Well,
I’ll be damned. Come on.” The woman grinned as Jellybean jumped up and down.
“Get in here.”
Dark
laughter echoed down the street and Sonia flinched.
Jellybean
growled, the hair on the back of her neck standing straight up.
Sighing
deeply, the woman held the door open. “Come on then. Jellybean’s vouching for
you and I’ve been looking for you myself.”
“Thank
you.” Sonia scurried through the door, tears of relief brimming on her lashes.
She blinked, but the tears still managed to fall. She was an immortal. Fear was
not something she was used to living with, and it made her angry. Her head and
soul were still spinning from everything that had happened in the past hour.
She staggered. Her life was about to change even more. She could feel it.
Thanks for having me on the blog!
