Interview With Kayden Claremont
I sat down (virtually) with Kayden Claremont for a short interview. Kayden Claremont’s latest release is Hell’s Bounty, an Urban Paranormal Erotica.
Cynthia Sax: What is your favorite line from Hell’s Bounty?
Kayden Claremont: Marcus pointed to the file he held in his hand as he cleared his throat. “Nothing like a stiff to make Saturday night special.”
Raven watched the dark humor shining in his angelic eyes, and her clit stiffened. “That’s what I always say.”
Why do I love this so much, well it shows how playful Marcus is with his sexual innuendos. He is such a sexual being and it shows in not only his actions but in his words as well.
Cynthia Sax: Where did you get the idea for Hell’s Bounty?
Kayden Claremont: This is a funny story. I was sitting in a coffee short working on a romantic suspense story when two men stat down beside me. They were talking about how their wives such the life out of them and they were trying to outdo one another so the stories became interesting. Before I know what had happened I had a scene where the character literally sucked the life out of a sleazy politician.
Years later I was in a critique meeting and we were talking about the weirdest scene we’ve ever written. I told my friend about this scene and they both said, “That’s a succubus.” I went home and looked it up and sure enough they were right. I liked the character so much I built the book around her.
Cynthia Sax: How does Hell’s Bounty start?
Kayden Claremont: Raven is a bounty hunter collecting souls for hell. She is dressed in hooker shoes, the tight dress revealing her voluptuous body, the masses of red curls, and her ruby-red lips. She’s walks into the club and sitting at the bar drinking hemlock waiting for her prey.
A giant of a man ducked as he entered the bar, paused, took off his sunglasses, tucked them into his jacket pocket, and waited for his eyes to adjust to the dim lighting. He surveyed the bar, then decided his path. Keeping his head high and his eyes skimming the people, he avoided eye contact with everyone.
She watches him. An undeniable current of electricity pulsed through him. Stopping beside her, he dwarfed her slight stature with colossal height, muscular build that showed through the suit, and an air of confidence that made everyone in the bar notice him.
He says, “Waiting for someone special?”
She answers, “Everyone is special.”
I started the story here because I loved the sexual tension that snapped between them. These characters just came together with such a force, I just wrote down the words.
Cynthia Sax: Is Hell’s Bounty part of a series and will you be writing more stories in this series?
Kayden Claremont:
Hell’s Bounty is the first book in my Heaven and Hell series. After I discovered Raven’s character it just made sense to pair her up with a guy who is her opposite. They are in the next book in the series, Hell Hath No Fury and they are reunited again final book in the series Hell Bent in Leather.
Thank you, Kayden Claremont, for joining us today!

When Murad, a powerful and deadly Warlord, arrives to repair Gale’s beloved ship, she doesn’t like it one bit. She sees the danger lurking behind his wide, sexy smile and the temptation in his coarse touch. He stands too close. He smells too good. He muddles her mind with erotic thoughts no bounty hunter should ever entertain.
Murad is known for being lighthearted…until he meets Gale. He’s deadly serious about seducing his curvaceous bounty hunter. With one blast of her stun gun, she captures his attention, and starts his lust burning. To claim Gale for his mate, Murad will brave his cautious female’s itchy trigger finger, his overbearing older brother and Gale’s sense of duty.

Cover Reveal For Warlord Reunited!
I received the cover for Warlord Reunited!
Warlord Reunited is the romance between Berke, the eldest Warlord, and Elle (or Ellie as he calls her), the bounty hunter boss lady (grins). Solar cycles ago, they bonded. Then Berke had a I-must-protect-my-gerel-at-all-costs macho meltdown and they parted. (shakes head) You know Berke. He doesn’t understand women… at all.
I don’t yet have a release date for Warlord Reunited. We’re still completing edits.

Interview With Shona Husk
I sat down (virtually) with Shona Husk for a short interview. Shona Husk writes hot, hot, HOT SciFi erotic romances for Ellora’s Cave and her latest release is Lunar Exposure. It looks delicious. You know I love SciFi erotic romances!
Cynthia Sax: What excites you about Lunar Exposure?
Shona Husk: This is my first scifi, so it was a totally new experience for me. I usually write paranormal romance and while there is some world building (and even alternate worlds to build like the Shadowlands and Annwyn) it is still different to building alien civilizations and futuristic tech. But I love making things up so I had a lot of a fun with that aspect. The other part I really love is bounty hunters! My hero and heroine are bounty hunters and they are after the same man and both have very good reasons for wanting him (aside for the chits). So while they can’t keep their hands off each other, professionally they are at odds.
Cynthia Sax: Why does Lunar Exposure start where it does?
Shona Husk: The first scene is the hero, Callen, arriving at Decadent Moon. The story is about him trying to catch the villain who wants to blow up the Moon, starting earlier wouldn’t have added to the story. This way the reader gets to arrive at the resort with the hero and see it through his eyes—as a flashy place he can’t really afford but he really wants to get Noga and he really needs the bounty as he took out a slightly dodgy loan to get to the Moon. It’s through Callen’s eyes that we also see Haliday for the first time and he sees exactly what she wants him to. I did consider starting in Haliday’s POV with her arrival at the Moon but it’s a place where she fits in and because I was introducing the reader to an alien resort I thought that the best way to do that was through Callen. Plus we get to learn really fast what the danger is, something not even Haliday knows yet…
Cynthia Sax: Does Haliday in Lunar Exposure have a secret?
Shona Husk: My heroine has a big secret, one that could get her killed if anyone found out. It’s also what drives her every action from her need to hunt down criminals to the way she donates most of her reward chits to the orphanages on her homeworld. She isn’t living a double life for fun, she has to.
Cynthia Sax: Is Lunar Exposure part of a series and will you be writing more stories in this series?
Shona Husk: I have already written a couple more stories set on Decadent Moon and they are with my editor (so my fingers are crossed). And I have a couple more planned. There are so many stories that can be told there, and so many aliens to create and explore 🙂
Thank you, Shona Husk, for joining us today!

*****************************************************************************
Bounty hunter Callen wants to capture Noga—a terrorist—both for the money and for revenge. But catching a criminal on the sensual resort of Decadent Moon without giving in to all the destination’s sexual pleasures is harder than it seems.
Haliday is the darling of the media, a socialite known as much for her casual relationships as she is for her charitable donations. No one knows she hunts down criminals.
Lust and ambition clash, and Callen and Haliday will have to find a way to work together, despite the distraction of their passionate bond. To succeed they must trust each other, something neither Callen nor Haliday is willing to do.

Chamele 3
Murad, the hero of Warlord Unarmed, is the Warlord of Chamele 3, a fairly dry planet. I envisioned Chamele 3 as being similar to the prairies with flat fields of yellow wheat-like vegetation. During the hot summer, this vegetation is scorched by the sun’s rays, the landscape turning to dust, the shallow rivers drying up.
Murad’s people uses technology to survive during the dry season.
