The Fever of a Phoenix #sixsunday

Sunday, February 12th, 2012

Welcome! Today we’ve got six more sentences of my newly released paranormal erotic romance, The Fever & The Fury

She was heartbreaking to watch. Luke saw her fingers close around the phantom kiss as if to protect a precious and fragile thing. Like a butterfly she’d captured, she drew it to her breast, cupping it with her free hand. He knew she was vulnerable. And yet, there was a blood-pumping, visceral need in him to throw her down and rip off clothing and satisfy himself. He was dangerously out of control.

So, what’s the deal? Luke is a former soldier turned phoenix with the power to consume himself in flames and be born again whenever he dies. The woman of his nightmares? The ancient Fury who has been unleashed by the gods to torment him. But when Phaedra realizes that her usual methods of torture aren’t going to work on a man like Luke, she decides to drive him mad with desire…

I hope that even if you aren’t ready to buy it, you’ll add it to your goodreads To Be Read pile!

A Fury’s First Kiss #sixsunday

Sunday, February 5th, 2012

Welcome! Today we’ve got six more sentences of my newly released paranormal erotic romance, The Fever & The Fury

She stared down at her palm to see the miracle of what he’d just done, but it wasn’t visible to the naked eye and this anguished her, because if she couldn’t see or touch or taste this kiss, how could she ever convince herself that it had actually happened? Her heart suddenly remembered itself, and the world came back in a rush of blood that roared past her ears. “But…but…I could have sent stabbing pains through you when you kissed me. Somehow, you must have known I wouldn’t do it.”

“No, Phaedra,” Luke said, meeting her eyes. “It’s just that some things are worth doing at any price.”

So, what’s the deal? Luke is a former soldier turned phoenix with the power to consume himself in flames and be born again whenever he dies. The woman of his nightmares? The ancient Fury who has been unleashed by the gods to torment him. But when Phaedra realizes that her usual methods of torture aren’t going to work on a man like Luke, she decides to drive him mad with desire… he turns the tables.

The rest is high erotic comedy :P

Welcome! Today we’ve got six more sentences of my newly released paranormal erotic romance, The Fever & The Fury

Instead of releasing her, he forced her fist open, prying back each finger in turn. In astonishment, Phaedra watched him press his mouth into her open palm. She waited for the bite, for the pain. Then she realized it was a kiss. A kiss! The soft pressure of his firm lips…the gentleness was a wonder that left her gasping.

How Stephanie Draven Spins Greek Mythology

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

Ok, I couldn’t be more tickled about this feature story in Romantic Times Magazine’s online blog today. The article goes through each of the stories in my Mythica series and compares them to the actual mythology and then demonstrates how I twisted each story to make it a romance.

Here’s just an example:

Book Four: “Siren Song”

Greek Myth Element: Sirens. The sirens are by far some of the most enchanting creatures in Greek mythology. Seductresses capable of luring sailors to their doom with their captivating singing, these Greek creatures are some of the most famous. However, according to Greek myth, they spend most of their time on land.

Draven’s Take: The author gives sirens a contemporary spin for her fourth story in the series. Chloe is the bombshell lead singer of a popular indie band. No one has resisted her soulful crooning except for naval officer Alex, so of course that’s the one man that Chloe is interested in. However, Alex knows a secret that not even Chloe has guessed, her voice is magical and that’s why she’s become so popular. Alex recognizes that his fellow navy forces can’t help but become entranced by Chloe’s song. But can Alex explain the truth to Chloe before he falls under her spell? It’s up to him to protect his men and hopefully get the girl.

Go read the rest!
