 Everything Anise

A Victorian-era vampire living in the modern world, Emigh Bennett’s favorite activity is watching people from the window of her little bookshop. When she spots a woman nearly killed on the street outside her shop, she rushes to her rescue, and she meets Anise.
The proprietress of a little home business called “Everything Anise”, Anise crafts one of a kind perfumes all with a touch of her namesake spice, all with the power to intoxicate and delight the senses. She is smart, sexy, beautiful, and happens to be a little bit different.
Although Anise is everything Emigh could ever ask for and more, she can’t quite figure her out. Anise possesses the duality of an innocent angel and a vivacious vixen. Even if Emigh can ever peel away the multi layers of Anise to uncover the truth beneath, what will happen when she finally reveals the truth about herself?

Eve of All Hallows

As Jamie travels the world in search of fulfillment, she arrives in Majorca the day before Halloween. Almost immediately, she realizes all is not what it seems. There are no tourists, and everyone is just a bit -- different. She meets a local tattooist named Carlito, a native of Peru. The attraction is instantaneous and intense. He makes her an unbelievable offer. But whether it means heaven or horror, she is not sure. When the Eve of All Hallows meets All Saints Day only Fate can decide the outcome.




Excerpt
 
I think I will enjoy my time here.
Very much.
I’m taking in that magnificent view while I swirl a glass of red wine. Sometimes a girl gets lucky. It’s well past midnight now, but I can’t sleep. Beyond the beauty of my surroundings, of the warmth on my skin this late in the year, is the sound of the sea. I am truly alone in my own little nirvana. No one knows where I am, and I don’t care.
There’s a flash of movement from the corner of my eye. Maybe I’m not as alone as I thought. My heart flutters a little. Then I see him walking the beach towards the water, under the great moon above. My magnificent view just got even more spectacular. He’s fully naked.
My attention is riveted now as I sip my wine. I can’t see a lot of detail in the darkness, but I can see he is tall, with long hair. Nicely built, and if my eyes don’t deceive me, well-endowed as well. Now, this is a very interesting development.
I watch as he enters the water, and I shiver just a little as if my own skin was touched by the cool waters. He disappears momentarily beneath the dark sea, and emerges, throwing back his long hair. I know I should look away, I should respect his privacy, but I cannot. I am a voyeur in my own little world.
I’m not really sure how much time I spend watching him. Perhaps only a few minutes, maybe even an hour. He emerges from the waves, a mere silhouette now in the moonlight. He stops and looks straight to me. My first reaction is to want to drop to the floor. But my mind tells me he cannot see me in the darkness.
So, if he cannot see me, why does he stare in my direction?

Interview With Natalie-Nicole Bates:

1) Can you tell us a little about your books? 
I write both paranormal and contemporary books. I also write female/female romance.

2) What inspires you to write? 
Different inspiration, different days. I can be inspired by music, dreams, even things I read about or see on television. I don’t have one true source of continuing inspiration.

3) Do you have a favorite spot to write? 
I currently occupy a little corner nook in the house. It suits me fine

4) Do you listen to music while you write? 
Usually not. I find it too distracting to the process.

5) Do you have a favorite character to write about? 
I’m often asked if I have a favorite character. I would say the Daniel Tremont character from both SEE ME and SAVE ME (Believe Again) is my favorite. I just always felt a close connection to him.

6) What's one random fact about yourself that you can share? 
Last year I received my degree in Mortuary Science.

7) When did you know you wanted to write a book? 
I think I always wanted to write. I was a reader first, then a book reviewer. When I was reviewing, I just realized one day that I could write a book as well.

8) What is your all-time favorite book? 
Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann. A friend gave me a copy a few years ago, and I was instantly hooked. Although it was written in the 1960’s, and set from the 1940’s until the mid-1960’s, it’s still relevant today.

9) What are you working on next? 
I’m actually on a bit of a break from writing while I wait for my upcoming fantasy romance, Undoing the Swan Girl to be released.
