Crazed at the Casino, is the seventh short story in Caliente Connections: A Miami Erotic Romance Series. Available exclusively on Amazon, one new story is being published weekly.

They’re all set in Miami and follow one couple, in the midst of whatever else is going on in their lives, as they meet or reunite, and give in to their passions.

You caught me…

in the middle of updating my site.

I’ve actually got a rather ambitious project in mind here so bear with me. This site is now intended primarily for my imprint, Phoenix Fire Press, Ltd. Company.

When I started out, I didn’t expect to be publishing under various authors yet here I am. Does that require so much distinction? Perhaps not for everyone.

However, I believe in branding. I didn’t like the way my site was looking with content all over the place. Plus, I want each of my authors to really have their own place to shine while also allowing this Phoenix to rise on her own.

Thank you for following me on this journey! I hope to give you all something to talk about.

Short Stories

I’m adding an update here regarding the uploading of E. I. Q.’s short stories.
In an effort to get herself to publish more, she’s decided to upload one new story per month. Or, well, to try to get that done.
Once a new story is shared over at her site, the old one will be taken down. But, don’t worry! The old story will then be available via Kindle Unlimited!
This month she added “The Drive.” At the end of the month, she’ll be removing “The Sunflowers” and, on February 1st, will be adding a new story. She’s tentatively calling it “Best Friends” because it is, so far, a very bare bones work in progress. Stay tuned, and catch the current stories will you can!

Dracula

After reading Opium and Absinthe by Lydia Kang (which I highly recommend) I had to pull Bram Stoker’s Dracula back off the shelf. Ms. Kang opened each chapter with a quote from it and I just couldn’t resist revisiting the story.
It’s been so long since I read it that I honestly don’t even remember if I finished it the first time. It reads like a brand new story and I couldn’t be happier.
I forgot how much I love Van Helsing. With all the movies and shows, I had forgotten the written him. It honestly feels like catching up with an old friend. Also, Mina is just wonderful.
On the off chance you’ve never read the book, please do! There’s so much crammed into its pages that just cannot be translated to a visual medium. It is definitely worth the time spent.

Opium and Absinthe

I’m a bit late posting as I’ve just about finished the story but what can I say? I was hooked from the first few pages on Opium and Absinthe by Lydia Kang.

It’s a compelling and touching tale in its own right, with a heroine I couldn’t help but love. It’s full of mystery, with hints of horror of the late Victorian kind, and supporting characters that draw you into their very well painted world.
Bonus: It’s also full of references to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I had to pull it off my shelf and bump it up to next on my to-be-read list. Have I read it before? Yes. Is that going to stop me from reading it now? Nope.

Finished it last night. I highly recommend you check it out! Actually, read them both if you haven’t already. You won’t regret it.
