Excerpt
Book One:
Excited and
curious, Cassia made her way down a well-worn path in the heart of the woods.
Though unable to see anything through her blindfold, the smell of jasmine and
honeysuckle tickled her senses, and the sound of distant rushing water alerted
her to the fact they were heading toward her favorite place. The waterfall she
loved and visited often was a hidden treasure on her parent's land, and she
regularly spent her free time there. Cassia gripped her beloved's hand a bit
tighter when she stumbled on a jagged stone protruding from the rough earth. He
sensed her misstep and slowed their pace, but he continued to guide her
carefully down the trail. When they finally stopped, he let go of her hand and
commanded in his deep voice, "Don't move.” She sensed her love making his
way behind her, and Cassia’s pulse kicked up a notch when she felt his warm
breath shiver across her neck. Smooth fingertips feathered across her arm
before he whispered, "Are you excited, my love?"
"Of course," she breathed,
"this is torture." Cas was quivering from the sensation of his breath
in her ear, and goosebumps prickled her skin where his long fingers continued
their exploration of her body. Cassia anxiously waited for him to remove the
scarf from her eyes, enthusiastic to see her surprise as she felt his hands
leave her arms. She let out a gasp of disbelief when his fingers didn't reach for
the blindfold, but instead arrived at the place where the high lace of her
dress met the front of her neck.
He chuckled and wrapped his sizable fingers
around the nape of her neck. Her beloved’s other hand seized her waist, and
suddenly, Cassia was pulled backward against the hard planes of his body.
"I told you to be patient. Perhaps I should torment you a bit longer.
Hmm?"
"No, please don't," she whimpered,
feeling the first touch of his tongue on her ear. He gradually licked his way
down her neck and lightly nipped at the sensitive skin. His hand on her waist
feathered up the middle of Cassia’s chest leaving tingles in its wake. Soon his
fingers brushed her hardened nipple, and he began tracing slow circles around
the pebbled skin. Her entire body grew warm and moisture began to gather in her
underclothes. Momentarily sidetracked, Cassia relaxed against her beloved's
chest and enjoyed the feeling of his hard length pushing against her back. Cas
let out a low moan, but she loved surprises and could barely contain her
excitement any longer. “I've been such a good girl, I need to see it now,"
she whimpered.
His deep laugh
rumbled powerfully, and she could feel his muscular form shaking in amusement.
The sensual moment broken, he reached up to untie the delicate blue silk scarf
that covered her eyes. "Happy early birthday, My Love."
Cassia looked
around the clearing in wonderment. A soft blanket covered the oversized rock
near the base of the waterfall. Colorful petals from her favorite flowers were
scattered about, and the small fire a few feet away cast a soft orange glow on
the area. She noticed a small chocolate cake with a single blue candle placed
perfectly in the center of the quilt. Other large candles lined the path and
surrounded the blanket, lending the moon a hand in creating a romantic
atmosphere. She looked up at her soulmate and smiled at his adoring gaze. He
led her to the blanket and lit the single candle with a twig from the fire.
"Make a wish, Cas," he said, presenting the cake to her.
She closed her
eyes and thought of the only thing she truly wanted - to see the flame burn
blue at their ceremony. Cassia didn’t need any assurance that he was her
soulmate, but she wanted the world to know that their love was eternal, and the
blue flame would leave no question. She opened her eyes and smiled at her
beloved thinking, "I wish for blue fame," as she blew out the
candle.
Cassia's eyes
suddenly surged open, "He's awake," she gasped, and stood from her
bed for the first time in two centuries.

Excerpt
Book Two:
Vita licked the
last bit of blood from his empty eye socket, then dropped the fresh corpse and
approached the cell full of humans. She had about twenty left, all of them
dirty and disgusting, rotting away behind bars. ”You,” she pointed to the
healthiest looking male, “you’re next.” She waved her hand releasing her magic
and pulled the man through the enchanted bars. Vita reached for the pair of
heavy cuffs hanging from a hook in the ceiling and locked them around his
wrists. She yanked on the shackles until his toes were barely touching the
floor then secured the chains so he would remain in that position.
The man was
probably 6’3” and had a muscular physique. His sturdy build, dark hair, and
blue eyes reminded her of Ari, and Vita couldn’t wait to take her aggression
out on the revolting creature. Vita reached for the bolt cutters on her table
and approached the man hanging by his wrists. “Don’t move,” she commanded, but
imbued a bit of magic into her words so that the man would remain frozen in
place. Calling a chair to her side, Vita stood on the seat and snipped the
first of the human’s fingertips from his hand. Blood spurted from the wound,
and Vita joyfully opened her mouth, allowing the spewing liquid to coat her
tongue and face. She knew that by elevating his hands, the blood flow would
slow and ensure that he wouldn’t die immediately. Vita repeated the process on
each of his fingers and giggled like a school child as she stood under the
dripping appendages. She felt as if she were taking a shower in the man’s
blood, and to Vita, it was one of the best feelings in the world.
She understood
that she was wasting some of the precious liquid, but at this point, she
couldn’t find it in her to care. Vita had taken all she needed from these
wretched pests hours ago, and now she was just having fun. It was the perfect
opportunity to alleviate her anger at Ari. With blood covering her face, Vita
bent down and stuck her tongue into the mouth of the human, enjoying the taste
of his fetid breath. “I could take you if I wanted to,” she told him, and
cackled like a loon. “There would be absolutely nothing you could do about it,
Ari,” she stepped off of the chair.
Vita reached for
her favorite branding iron and walked toward the fire. She could have heated it
with her magic, but Vita took pleasure going in doing some things slowly. As
the end of the metal became a dazzling orange color, she pulled the iron from
the fire and sashayed back toward her captive. Vita rammed the metal into his
skin, memorized by his sizzling flesh and relishing the scent of burning skin.
She removed the metal from his chest and was delighted by the way his tender
skin turned black and bloated. She stared at the beauty of her name burned over
his heart. “Perfect,” she said, dropping the steel and clapping her hands.
“You behave so
well, Ari, you haven’t made a peep!” She giggled again and kissed his blistered
flesh.

Excerpt Book Three
Cassia looked as
though she’d been struck, and Vita used the momentary shock to her advantage.
Like a viper, she lunged at Ari and sunk her fangs into his neck. For the first
time since she’d laid her eyes on the sexy Mr. Shoren, Vita finally got to
taste him. His blood poured into her mouth, and she greedily sucked it down,
enjoying the refreshing taste of his untainted magic. Ari was stronger than
even Vita had realized, and she was thrilled at the taste of unfiltered power
flowing through his veins. Knowing it wouldn’t be long before someone reacted
and attempted to stop her, Vita regrettably released her prey’s throat. She
winked at Cas and licked her lips, then called on her magic and began to
disappear. Vita was going to finally take Ari to her bed. She easily could have
killed Cas, but the thought of leaving the pathetic witch to wallow in her
misery was better than the idea of her death.
Cassia watched
in shock as Vita sunk her fangs into Ari’s neck, but as they started to shimmer
and disappear, Cas burst into action. She ran full speed toward them and jumped
onto Vita’s back. The unexpected interruption must have worked to disrupt
Vita’s concentration, and the transportation spell backfired.
As soon as she
released Ari, Cas used her power to propel Vita across the room, smashing her
into the opposite marble wall. “You stupid bitch,” Vita roared, “Ari is mine!”
“I’ll never be
yours, Vita!” Ari sent a powerful blast of fire toward the woman, but she
effortlessly dodged the flame. Cas grew anxious when she realized that Vita
didn’t appear even the slightest bit affected by anything they did to her. Even
the force of hitting the white stone didn’t seem to slow her down. She ran at
Ari and slid across the marble floor at the last second, sticking her feet out
and hitting him in the knees. Cas heard bone crack seconds before Ari howled in
pain and toppled to the floor.
Cas was unsure
how she did it, but immediately after contacting with Ari’s body, Vita shot to
her feet and bounded over a nearby couch. “You like this one better?” Vita
snickered and lunged at Jordan, clutching his throat and digging her nails into
his neck. Cas was horrified as Jordan’s skin began to turn black - she’d never
seen anything like it. Green mist surrounded Cassia’s lover, and a powerful
blast of water shot from his fingertips, forcing Vita to lose her grip and
stumble backward.
Cas used the
opportunity to try and get Vita as far away from them as she could. She called
on her most powerful element and thrust a gust of wind toward the crazed
enchantress. Vita went crashing into an end table, and the force of her body
shattered not only the pristine white lamp but also the white oak of the stand.
Ari sent more fire at her, but Vita didn’t stay down long and quickly cast a
shielding spell. “You idiots,” she screamed, “you are not powerful enough to
destroy me! I will kill you, Cassia Lunason, and your tattooed party boy!”

The happily ever after you've been waiting for! Or is it?
The bonding of multiple mates, a group of true soulmates, will unlock the ultimate power...

Will monsters flow through the newly opened gate, or is this the world they were destined to live in?

Can Cas and her mates finally defeat Vita?
Who is the mysterious Addie and why did the portal call to her?
Did Cassia and her mates finally find their happy ending, or will new problems threaten the happiness they've worked so hard for?
Find out these answers and more in this thrilling conclusion of The Lost Lunason Series!
Excerpt Book Four
The guys had
been silent during her exchange with Vita, but Jordan soon exclaimed, “Where
the fuck did she go? We need to find that bitch before she does something
crazy.”
“She could have
gone anywhere,” Brax responded. “We could try to follow her transportation
trail.” He stepped closer to the area Vita had recently vacated.
Ari shook his
head and looked back at the portal, “We can’t, Brax. We have no idea what
this,” he motioned to the still glowing circle, “even is. I think it appeared
to us for a reason, and I don’t think we should ignore it. Vita will come back.
She always comes back.”
“Ari’s right,” Cas agreed, “she always comes
back.” Cas sighed and looked into the portal, briefly wondering if the trees
really were made out of gold. She couldn’t believe that only a few hours ago
she swore her life to her men, she’d experienced the joy of joining with them
and the intense emotions that had flowed through the bond when they made love
for the first time. It was the happiest night of her life, and she shouldn’t
have been surprised that Vita attempted to ruin it. She didn’t know what the
portal was exactly, but it appeared to them for a reason, and she would protect
it until they could learn more. If they went chasing after Vita, the portal
could close, or people from the other side could enter their world. There was
no telling who or what could come through, and there was no way that Cas could
unleash more monsters on this world. Vita was wicked enough. “Now that she
knows where we are, I have no doubt that it won’t take long for her to try and
destroy us.”
"No, I
don’t think it will take long at all,” Vita laughed from directly behind Ari,
“did you miss me, lover? I know I missed you,” Vita proclaimed before plunging
her fangs into Ari’s neck.
Cassia was
furious that this woman dared touch her mate.
“How dare you touch my mate?!” Her enraged yell seemed to tear everyone
from their stunned immobility, and Jordan and Brax rushed toward Ari.
Cassia was
closer, however, and she felt Ari’s fire flowing through her veins. She snagged
Vita’s floor-length red hair and watched in shock and horror as the strands
engulfed into flames. Cas new she was angry, knew she could feel the power
flowing through her, but she didn’t even intend to use the magic. She quickly
realized that she needed to learn how to control the power now surging through
her before she harmed someone that didn’t deserve it.
Vita screamed in
agony as she released Ari from her death bite, and the guys swiftly pulled him
from her reach. Cas called on her most powerful element and sent a blast of air
at the flaming vampire. The fire died quickly, and though Cassia wanted Vita to
meet her end, she couldn’t stand by and watch while someone burned to death.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Interview with Stacie Sultrie
How would you describe your style of writing to someone that has never read your work?
If I could describe my writing style in two words, they would be exciting and emotional. I focus a lot on both my characters’ emotions and trying to create an emotional response for the reader. I want readers to not only fall in love with my characters but to also feel as though they are going through the ups and downs with the characters. I’ve also tried to provide my readers with a sense of excitement. I’ve done this by adding some steamy love scenes, magical battles, evil villains, and interesting plot twists.
What mindset or routine do you feel the need to set when preparing to write (in general whether you are working on a project or just free writing)?
When I’m writing, I’m working. Many authors describe their writing as art, and though I agree that writing provides an excellent opportunity to be creative, I view it as work. There are times when a great idea will pop into my head, and I'll stop what I’m doing to scribble down my thoughts. For the most part, however, I only write when I’m alone and have the time to devote myself one hundred percent to my story. I do find that pleasant smelling candles and relaxing music help me concentrate, but these aren't absolute necessities.
Do you take your character prep to heart? Do you nurture the growth of each character all the way through to the page? Do you people watch to help with development? Or do you build upon your character during story creation?
While My Soulmate Slumbers is the first book of The Lost Lunason Series, and it really delves into the background of the characters and introduces their personalities slowly. As the series continues, the characters are faced with many obstacles that undoubtedly force change. For example, my main character begins as a confused innocent girl with a lot of power. By the fourth book, she’s a powerful enchantress fighting to save the world. Many of her innate characteristics stay with her throughout the series, but I continue to develop her character as new experiences change her, and this continues until the very last page. Not only do I people watch to find intriguing ideas, I strike up random conversations with strangers, especially if I see someone reading.
Have you found yourself bonding with any particular character? If so which one(s)?
As I come to the end of my first series, I’ve realized that I’ve bonded with all of my characters. It’s tough to say goodbye, but that character that is most difficult for me to part with is Rayannah Rivers. Rayannah is a supporting character in the series, but she is the only character based on an actual person. She has many personality traits that resemble an individual I was extremely close to for most of my life. When that person passed away, I found myself in a bottomless pit of despair. Writing was a way for me to pull myself out of the overwhelming sadness, and it gave me an opportunity to keep a part of her alive. Even if it’s only a sliver of her persona, I believe that I’ve honored her in my own way and found solace doing so. As long as people are reading the series, my Granny lives on through my readers.
Do you have a character that you have been working on that you can't wait to put to paper?
I always have ideas for characters that I think will be amazing, but I’m currently working on a character that is a descendant of Bridget Cleary. In real life, Bridget was tortured and murdered by her husband because he believed that she’d been replaced by a changeling. The story has always captivated me, and I’m excited to give it a new life and put my own twists on the tale. My main character in the story is Bria, and she’s a recent college graduate stuck in a loveless relationship. Bria is searching for excitement, and she’s not only about to find it, but she’s also going to discover some unexpected family secrets!
Have you ever felt that there was something inside of you that you couldn't control? If so what? If no what spurs you to reach for the unexperienced
Don’t tell me no! I seriously have a difficult time controlling myself when someone says me I can’t do something. This translates to all aspects of my life, and though it has pushed me to do some really positive things, I’ve definitely made some bad decisions because of it. Sometimes it’s little things like noticing a sign that says, “Please don’t put your feet on the wall.” My first thought is, Why would people put their feet on the wall? My second thought? Oh, crap, are they going to kick me out because my foot’s on the wall? Granted, that’s only a small rebellion, but it’s also how I ended up with a hundred-year-old home that looks like something from Candy Land. My beautiful historic home with its elegant pillars and charming front porch is painted a soft pink with baby-blue trim. Why? I made a joke, and my parents insisted that I couldn’t paint my house pink…
