    Katrina LaFond

    Writing is the ultimate escape from reality. You can read or watch a movie, but you're not truly immersed in another world like you are when you're creating one. When I'm not writing, I'm wishing I was and when I'm writing I'm living another life. There's some of me in every female character who lets me write her story--some more than others, but I'll never tell which ones. In my other lives I'm a sexy vampire, a powerful witch, an independent werewolf or a seductive human. I can be anyone and anything I want, and who wouldn't want to do that? My genre of preference is fantasy romance. I became infatuated with vampires in high school when I read a book about a girl, who'd recently been turned, who allowed herself to die in the first rays of dawn rather than feed on the boy with whom she'd fallen in love. I remember that part vividly because I thought it was the most beautiful depiction of unconditional and unrequited love that I'd ever read. I promptly devoured every book with vampires in it that I could get my hands on (in my age range, of course). At the time I wasn’t interested in romance novels, and eventually I ran out of teen vampire stories, so I tried my hand at writing one. Over the years, my characters and stories have matured with me. At first, the only characters I met were vampires, but eventually, other characters came to me, and I discovered I had a thing for tall, dark and handsome aliens as well. I spend so much time with my characters that they become real to me, and all my friends and family have gotten used to me talking about them that way. Thankfully, if they think I’m crazy, they keep it to themselves. I’ve also been very lucky in love. For 26 years, I’ve been with the same wonderful man who is very tolerant of the fact that I fall in love with the leading men in my books.

      He didn’t look up from his beer when he heard the tavern door open and slam shut. A blast of icy cold air swept through the cramped room, eliciting groans and shouts of close the door! from the other patrons, but the man at the bar didn’t even shiver. He knew what was coming. He’d been waiting for this visit. Waiting, but not anticipating. He sighed heavily as he listened to the footsteps crossing the floor, heading straight for him. He recognized them as well as he knew his own. Adrian. His oldest friend in the world. Closer than a brother. And he was probably coming to kill him.

      Adrian saw Drake at the bar the moment he stepped through the door, and he didn’t miss the fact that his old friend didn’t even flinch when he heard him come in, and Adrian had done nothing to try to hide his entrance. He even slammed the door behind him, making sure to be as loud as possible. The bastard still didn’t turn around. Just kept nursing that beer like a man without a care in the world. Well, he’d give him something to care about.

      Adrian stepped up to the bar and signaled for a drink, dropping a five on the polished wood. He glanced at Drake out the corner of his eye to see if there was any reaction, but Drake's dark eyes still hadn’t moved
