A Look At Kacey Mark & 'Prom Night in Purgatory' ~ @Kacey_Mark

Today we have author Kacey Mark visiting. Welcome!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?

* I'm all about the magic of visual stimulus, tactile writing, and use of all five senses. I love eccentric characters and unpredictable plot turns.
* I enjoy a good book that pulls me into its world and holds me captive until the very last page. But then again, who doesn’t love that?
* I'm often caught snickering at a book in the middle of a crowded room, I love it when people wonder what I’m up to.

What book are you going to tell us about today? Is it part of a series? If so, what's the order the books should be read in?
* PROM NIGHT IN PURGATORY is the first in the PURGATORY series.

How'd you/your muse come up with this story?
* I love exploring local history. I fell in love with an early 1920’s amusement park that had burned down near my home. It had such a glory about it before it was destroyed. So I really want to give it a new life, and a paranormal twist.

Describe the hero in five words.
* Legendary ghost and human collector

Describe the heroine in five words.
* Cancer-stricken conduit to the afterlife

Who's your favorite character in the book & why?
* I love my heroine, Baila, because she’s been through so much. Her cancer has returned. She’s got twenty-five candles on her cake, six months to live, and one middle finger for her slow and painful ending. She’s going to give herself a grand finale. And the legendary Asher’s on the menu.

What's your favorite line in the story?
* I couldn’t pick just one. Maybe a scene? See the excerpt below. :)

A look into the story

~ Blurb ~ * BAILA GREY’S cancer has returned.
* She’s got twenty-five candles on her birthday cake, six months to live, and one middle finger for her slow and painful ending.
* As a conduit to the afterlife and valuable member of her ghost exterminating team, she’s a record holder for most risks taken in a lifetime. She’s not dead yet, but her friends are already morning her. And with her inability to land even a single live boyfriend, she’s ready to shoot that record sky high. Conjuring the legendary ghost of ASHER LANDIN, might be the best option for a grand finale. But to face that stone wall of sex appeal with a terminal illness, would mean risking his rejection with no second chances left. Game over.
* Asher lives for his job—not that you could really call it living, he’s dead. But it’s all he exists for. As The Collector, his gateway to the ever-changing world above only swings one way, and the morsels of life he gathers is his only defense against insanity. That is, until a tart little chasse by the name of Baila breaks through, and he truly learns the meaning of insane. With his father ready to hand over the family business and his step-mother fighting for power, Asher needs to prove his ability to control not only the realm of purgatory, but his increasing urge to chase Baila around like a lunatic. ~ Excerpt ~ * His fingertips traced a slow circle around her belly button, her stomach muscled tightened but she managed to keep still. Mostly. His fingers roved lower, then back and forth along the lacy edge of her panties. He slipped them to one side and tipped his head. “Tell me, Doll. How do you like to be touched?”
* Baila bit her lip and looked again to the door.
* “You won’t say? Want to show me instead?”
* She squeezed her eyes shut. Like that would be any easier?
* “Mmmm. Without your direction, this’ll be more time consuming than I planned,” he expelled a small sigh and shifted his body lower, then pressed a kiss to the crevice of her inner thigh. “Course, I’m sure you’ll recall we don’t have much concept of time here anyway.”

A Look At Kacey Mark & 'A Muse Gone Rogue' ( @Kacey_Mark @evernightpub #SO )

Today we have author Kacy Mark visiting. Welcome!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?
* Hello there. So... I'm Kacey *nods* a voracious reader and paranormal romance author. I'm working my way up the ladder to New York publishing one rung at a time. Boy, that sounds optimistic, doesn't it? I'm all about the magic of visual stimulus, tactile writing, and use of all five senses. I love eccentric characters and unpredictable plot turns. I enjoy a good book that pulls me into its world and holds me captive until the very last page. But then again, who doesn’t love that? I'm often caught laughing at a book in the middle of a crowded room, I love it when people wonder what I’m up to.

What book are you going to tell us about today? Is it part of a series? If so, what's the order the books should be read in?

* My first published book is A MUSE GONE ROGUE. It’s a story about ravenous muses and the women who lust after them. It is part of my DARK MUSE series, but the series only extends into two books. It’s always fun to read ROGUE first then experience COMMANDO because the villain in the first book becomes the hero in the second. Although the stories stand-alone pretty well, there are a lot more ‘ah-ha’ moments when read in order.

How'd you/your muse come up with this story?
* I have always been fascinated with greek mythology. There are so many interesting stories and amazing characters that can be expanded upon.

Describe the hero (or alpha male if M/M or alpha heroine if F/F) in five words.
* Extra hunky, extra irritated immortal

Describe the heroine (beta if F/F or beta hero if M/M) in five words.
* A virtual shut-in turned nanny

Who's your favorite character in the book & why?
* My favorite character is actually, Tobin, the villain. Because it’s so fun to watch his character evolve from this book to the next. He’s the man that every woman loves to hate.

A look into the story

~ Blurb ~ * When a demonic attack leaves one child without a mother, Marie Durrant throws out her predictable lifestyle to become the little girl's nanny.
* It’s a big enough step for the virtual shut in, but even more difficult when Marie becomes inexplicably attracted to the mysterious widowed father, who happens to be the most powerful muse west of Mt. Olympus.
* Quenton Blake is an extra hunky, extra irritated immortal, cursed to seek out those desperate for inspiration and feed on their souls.There wasn’t anything wrong with saving Marie’s soul for dessert, but his sweet tooth has a way of overriding his good judgement.

~ Excerpt ~ * The dim glow from the study bounced off the mirrors and the stainless steel stripper pole in the corner. Just enough light to navigate the furniture without bumping into anything. The air grew thick and humid inside with the spicy tang of sex and cheap perfume.
* Like one giant trophy case, it boasted countless odd shaped, metallic objects littering the floor and table tops, some of them still in their boxes. Sex toys, the thought occurred to her, as her eye caught a thin metal chain glinting in the mirror’s reflection.
* She wrapped her arms around herself, not willing to touch what she couldn’t readily identify. Or anything she could, for that matter.
* The plum silk bedding looked rumpled and pulled free on one side. It cascaded over the foot of the bed, partially melting over a large black chest. She knelt down, and after brushing the sheets away, tried to lift the lid.
* Locked.
* If Tobin was bold enough to store his toys in the open, she wasn’t sure she wanted to know what he hid under lock and key. She scanned the rest of the room but her surroundings were too dark to identify with much clarity. Maybe she could get back in here during the daylight and find a key to the chest.
* She got to her feet and tried to pick her way out of the room. When she stepped on a ten-inch cylindrical object, it rolled. Her feet went out from under her, and her butt hit the floor with a bone-jarring thud.
* The silver object rolled across the hardwood floor emitting a low buzzing noise until it tinged against the metal stripper pole at the far end of the room.
* The guy’s got a flair for matching his accessories I’ll give him that much. She scrambled after the vibrator, put both hands around the beveled shaft, and fumbled for the switch to shut it off.
* Ew.Ew. Ew!
* She gritted her teeth, running her hands along the device until she found what appeared to be the switch. Hopefully it wasn’t the “go faster” button.
* She flipped it and the buzzing died off, then she flung it toward the bed and scrubbed her palms over her jeans.
* She wanted to race back to her room but chickening out wasn’t an option. With the commotion, she’d get caught. And if she was already screwed, she wasn’t going to face Quenton’s wrath for nothing. She made a hasty pass into the second room where she found identical furniture and a neatly made bed. It was missing the chest and mirrors, making it seem smaller without all the reflections, more casual, and Quenton’s familiar scent lingered in the air around her. Heat threaded through her veins at the thought of being in his room, knowing at any moment he could return to find her. Her impish thoughts cheered her on. Fueled by flames of excitement, they dance around in her mind as if coaxing him to materialize out of thin air.
* She ran her shaking fingertips along the surface of his nightstand until she came in contact with the worn edge of a leather-bound book.
* Good enough for now, she thought and tucked it under her arm.
* Nearly home free.
* She spun to the door but her breath caught in a gasp. Quenton’s massive silhouette slipped in front of her, and Marie braced herself against the doorjamb to keep from running into him.
