BLURB
Those in power are suppressing the truth, and it all stems from the Coven of Vampyres strict law: Human and Vampyre fraternization—strictly forbidden. When living in a society where love, passion, and desire are restricted it isn't long before someone dissents. I just never thought that someone would be me.
The day I met him, the vampyre Sebastian of Orias, everything changed. Never in my life did I think someone like him, the son of a Count, would pursue a human like me. But he did. He stalked me . . . and now he wants me.
We chose to break the rules, defy the Coven, and embrace this connection, regardless of the dangers that may unfold. However, I fear that our passion may reveal secrets the Coven is willing to kill to protect.

Excerpt:
The dark meadows
and midnight air blast through her hair giving off a scent that would attract
any Vampyre for miles. It was there he sensed her. It was there he could no
longer deny himself the pleasure of getting to know who she was. The rules were
set, and the laws were written, but none of that could keep him restrained. Not
anymore.
His emotions
fluttered, leaving him no other choice. He must take that chance, regardless of
the prospect of rejection. For months, he watched her, lurking in the shadows
of their lands, never giving thought as to what would happen if he were to be
discovered. It was a risk he was more than willing to take, if only just to get
a second glance of her beauty.
He was, after
all, the son of a count, and he knew the rules better than anyone.
Fraternization between Vampyre and human was strictly forbidden. The rules were
imprinted in his brain from birth, but he had to choose differently. Was it her
human frailty or the smell of her blood that drew him there every night?
Whatever this enchanting spell was that led him to her lands took total
control, forcing him to do things he thought he’d never do.
Romantic love
was forbidden and after months of obsessing over this human woman, he was
beginning to understand why. All rational thought escaped his mind whenever he
was near her. The erratic and irrational impulses that made him sneak out of
his room, cross the neutral territory, and enter their lands each night had
overwhelmed him. He’d lost control, yet refused to do anything about it. This
was who he wanted to be.
Henceforth, that
night in the dark meadows, basking in the midnight air, he made his approach.
Would she welcome him or fear him? What stories would she have heard about his
kind that could force her to be reluctant by his presence? He had no choice,
for it was too late to turn back now. She was alone, and he would never have an
opportunity like this again. He pushed back the bushes, taking slow steps
toward her. Hesitant, he thought about turning around and forgetting about her.
He knew where this would lead. Still, he interjects his reason and pushes aside
all logic, giving in to his wanting desire.
“Hello,” he
whispered softly from behind. She froze. She knew the end was near. She knew
the Vampyre creeping up behind her would make her his supper if she didn’t run,
and quick. Without thought, she took off screaming for her life. Her action to
his bold move didn’t surprise him at all; the only thing that entered his mind
was how beautiful she looked when she ran away. He didn’t pursue right away. He
stood there paralyzed, fearful that he would be discovered.
If anyone heard
her screaming it would be the end of him. Before she could get too far, he
headed her off, and in a flash was right in front of her. They had collided.
She ran right into him. The touch of her soft warm skin sent a sense of inner
peace and tranquility through this entire body.
They had their
arms wrapped around each other like lovers in need. That sensual gaze he gave
her forced the fear to melt away only to be replaced with apprehension and
embarrassment.
“I will not harm
you,” he said in a passionate whisper.
“What do you
want from me?” Her voice trembled.
“Simple
conversation.”
“You mean to
kill me?”
“Of course not.
But far be it for me to make you my meal someday.”
“Who are you?”
She gave him an uneasy glance.
He stared into
her eyes and smiled, brushing his fingers through her soft, long hair. And thus
that single encounter, that bold embrace set forth the path they would go
through together; placing things in motions that would tear the very boundaries
of everything they’d ever known. Forever.

Genre: Fantasy Vampire / Paranormal Romance
Tagline: How far will you go to be with the one you love?
We all have a choice in life. Sebastian and I made our choice—to be together.
The Shadow Lands became our sanctuary after everything we'd sacrificed. Our desire for one another only deepened as time passed. We'd broken Coven Laws, defied the human government, and put our families at risk to pursue our passion. The Courting Moon bonded us on that night, sealing our fate.
Nevertheless, our work is far from complete. With the Coven searching everywhere to find us it's only a matter of time before death befalls those we love. We are left with no other choice, but to finish what my father died trying to accomplish. To reestablish the Alliance Sanctuary, rebuild the Kingdom of Dragoius, and bring an end to the Coven of Vampyre's tyrannical rule.
The most powerful Vampyre in all the lands, Sebastian's father, the Count of Orias has vowed to stop at nothing until we are found, and our bond is broken. We're racing against time and it all hinges on discovering the Coven's one secret—
Why romantic love is forbidden…
Excerpt:
He stands there
looking upon her radiant beauty, unable to form words. She’s so luxurious to
him; he still can’t believe he’s found someone like her to love him
unconditionally. She exits the shower, bright pink hair soaking wet. He becomes
aroused yet fades into the background. He must fight off the temptation;
otherwise, his plans will lie in ruins. He isn’t supposed to be here—not at
this moment.
For months he
tried and failed to express the passion burning within him in the form of
words, but those words never came to fruition. Like a sly snake, he went into
their room and placed a note on the bed. Now, only now, is he able to tell her
the depths of his unending love for her.
Not just the
sexual, but the emotional and spiritual as well—something no Vampyre or human
could ever understand in a world built on emotional suppression. He exits the
room just as she approaches. Slowly, he closes the door and goes back to fixing
the steps that caused them to tumble into the bunker where they now dwell.
They’ve been trapped in the bunker for three days, and while everything they
need is provided for them, they still would like to have an exit readily
available.
The door creaks.
“Sebastian, is
that you?” she calls out.
She looks
around, but seeing no one, she wraps one towel around her head and one over her
body before closing the shower doors. As glaring as the sun beyond the Shadow
Lands, the note is there when she nears the bed.
“I can’t believe
this man,” she says with a bright smile. She tightens the towel around her body
and sits on the bed, taking the note in her hands.
The words “From
Me to You” are written across the front. She unfolds the note carefully so as
not to tear any part of it. That’s when she notices the Courting Moon’s glow as
it shimmers on her skin. A flush of emotion overcomes her heart. They are safe
from the Coven, from Daven, from the Council, from anyone looking to do them
harm. Now is the time to enjoy each other, to learn more about the emotions
they’re experiencing. She finishes unfolding the note and reads the delicate
words Sebastian has written for her.
Kyra, my love,
my everything,
Space and time
have no validity when we are together. The nights I have stayed awake wondering
how I could be blessed with such an angel are innumerable. You, Kyra, are my
heart . . . if that’s what you wish to call it. Love itself is a word that
couldn’t possibly hold bearing on what I feel for you. What we have is so much
more than that—I can’t explain it. All I do know is the connection we have will
last longer than anything in this world. As bright as the moon shines in the
night, I will love you, never fail you, always be there for you, give my life
for you, and live for you. Whatever this journey may bring, just know that I,
Sebastian of Orias, am within you every moment until my immortality gives way.
I love you, Kyra—always.
Holding her hand
to her face, she tries to keep tears from ruining the note.
“Kyra,” says
Sebastian, holding a collection of pink roses. “Did you read it?”
She removes the
towel on her head and places the note on the nightstand near their bed. “Yes,
it’s beautiful.”
Sebastian takes
a single rose from the bouquet he’s holding and places the bud of it in her
hair.
“No, Kyra,
you’re beautiful.”
She takes the
bouquet from him and breathes its scent in deeply, then sets the roses on the
nightstand near the note. She embraced him in a time-stopping kiss. With
Sebastian by her side, Kyra is left with a decision. And the fates of both
Vampyre and humankind hang in the balance. The choice is hers and hers alone.

Virtual Tour w/INTERVIEW - Courting Moon: Vampyres Desire (The Bloods Passion Saga, #1) by Adom Sample
Courting Moon: Vampyres Desire
The Bloods Passion Saga, #1

Date of Publication: April 28th 2017

Genre: Magical Realism /Paranormal Romance
Tagline: How far will you go to be with the one you love?
The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . COURTING MOON: VAMPYRES DESIRE (The Bloods Passion Saga, #1) . . . Quick thoughts . . . lovers of vampire theme romances would find this one interesting. There are differences of opinions on how the humankind and the vampryekind should or could interact. The romance is palpable. There are bands put in place and a price to pay for doing the forbidden.
This romance was between two classes that should not have that kind of contact. There was no room for love. There was no room for passion. There was only one way and that was the way that was dictated to them. Kyra and Sebastian find that they never felt the kind of emotions that they were feeling. There was something elemental yet soul stirring about the emotional connections that were made here. The sacrifices that were willing to be made.
Courting Moon was a romance filled with some drama between races, a bit of mystery/suspense, passion never know by either, and romance that will change the direction of this new world.
I got drawn in and wrapped up in the opposite side of the Council and the Coven. Krya had a lot to come to terms with in her young life. The first POV was telling from Krya’s aspect. She tackled real world impacts on her small family. Seeing things from her viewpoint allowed for further insight into what was going on with her. For me this was a read that will give new ways to see the roles of the various races living together and when things cross between and beyond those lines.
BLURB
Two worlds.
Separation and control were all they had ever known. The laws set by the iron fist of the Coven of Vampyres pass down to the human reverts was what their worlds were built upon. Love, passion, emotional yearning and above all, human and vampyre fraternization–all strictly forbidden. Yet, a moment’s encounter would soon change all that. One single embrace would alter their worlds forever.
The young vampyre, Sebastian of Orias, son of a ruling member of the Coven, and nineteen-year-old Kyra Dunning, daughter of the Chief Councilman in the human régime would soon learn what it means to feel an insatiable passion. This feeling caused the forbidden fruit to consume their hearts with hunger neither knew existed. To be apart was to die. Henceforth, they chose to break the rules, defy the Coven, and embrace this connection, regardless of the dangers that may unfold.
With marriages arranged, political power to centralize, and underground dissension to eradicate, both the Coven and the Council will stop at nothing to maintain order. And the love between Sebastian and Kyra, unbeknownst to them, may mean the end of everything they’ve ever known.

MY INTERVIEW WITH ADOM SAMPLE
How would you describe your style of writing to someone that has never read your work?
While this book Courting Moon: Vampyres Desire is in the first person present tense, I do enjoy writing in the third person as it gives me much more leeway in telling the story. I felt Courting Moon should be told from the perspective of the protagonist so that readers may feel her journey as it plays out. When writing in the third person I try to be as descriptive as possible while not overloading the reader with too much detail. With Courting Moon, I chose a more expository style of writing. She’s the one telling the story so it is told from her point of view, including her bias and opinions. It really depends on how the characters are developing.
What are some of your writing/publishing goals for this year?
My goal is to finish Book 2 of the Bloods Passion Saga. Haven’t just published Courting Moon I told myself that I want to be at least 25,000 words into Book 2 before its release. I just so happened to surpass my goal and by putting down 40,000 words (Only because the editing process and rewrites too longer than expected). I hope that I’ll be finished with the second book within the next couple of months. There are five books in the series and the book I’m really wanting to get started on is the Book 3 (The prequel) =. I have so many ideas about it floating around in my head that I can’t wait to get them all on paper so to speak.
Where would you spend one full year, if you could go ANYWhere? What would you do with this time?
I’d go to Azores Portugal and just relax my mind. I would there once for only an hour on my way back to Japan back in 2003. It was extremely peaceful. It’s a place where I could allow my mind to unwind. I’d have no distraction and it’d be the perfect opportunity to continue my writing in peace.
Can you share you next creative project(s)? If yes, can you give a few details?
With the exception of the Bloods Passion Saga (five books in total), I currently have six other projects in the pipeline. I’m constantly coming up with new ideas for a novel and I can’t seem to stop writing. I’m planning a romance noir immediately after the Bloods Passion Saga. I’m always looking for ideas when it comes to creating my stories and each time an idea pops in my head I write it down and save it for later. So far, those ideas have spawned seven potential books in the making.
