All Things
Paranormal.
Okay. Maybe not ALL things. How about the top TEN?
Hi there. Jackie Ivie here, swooping in from the dark
cold of Alaska to talk some heat with Nikki at Close Encounters with the Night
Kind! And I could just waste some
kilobytes making sure you don’t miss the brand new bundle PARANORMAL
NIGHTS!
(Out today! December 16th! 99 cents!
Eight fantastic stories! And it’s
hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! I mean, honestly, have you SEEN the
cover? Major swoon.)
Oh crap.
Where was I?
Oh…yeah. Talking heat.
In the middle of the winter. I
know! How about a top ten listing? Yes!
That’s it. The top ten paranormal
beings of all time (according to Jackie Ivie).
I should narrow that a little.
How about the top ten paranormal beings that belong in a romance? I mean, who’s going to want some hot and
heavy action with a swamp thing? In the mud.
All scaly and hard... Okay. Maybe me.
Bad example. How about a lizard man? Wow.
Think of the tongue action. Mothman? Seven feet of man-action with a huge
wing-span? Hmm. I’m losing track again. Let’s just say I’ll stick to the ten hottest
paranormal beings I love to read/write about.
In my opinion of course. And…what
the heck. I’m having trouble narrowing
it down. How about 11?
PS – I’m hoping
for some dissenting opinions out there.
What’s your top ten list?
#11 – Mermaid/Merman. If I’m putting a
character at sea, I’m thinking they need a bit of fantasy. And what could be better than a mostly unclad
hot-bodied creature who can hold their breath for like…ever? I mean, come on. Water sports takes on a whole new meaning.
#10 – Elf/Fairy. For the lighter/mischievous side of
magic: fairies and elves. I used to think writing about these creatures
would be a bit like going through 8th grade again, but then I saw
Orlando Bloom in LOTR. Long hair. Pointed ears.
As an elf. Well. I have changed my mind.
#9 – Mummy.
Okay. Work with me here. Add a half gallon or so of premium grade moisturizer. Some ancient words for reanimating and giving
flesh back. Some mood lighting, and
hey. I could work this. Besides, you have to admit, there’s not much better
than unwrapping this kind of present.
#8 – Zombie.
You gotta admit it’s kinky/cool. For
some reason. Maybe it’s because you get
to envision hot and heavy action with someone who wants to eat you. All of you.
Literally.
#7 – Dragon.
I’m adding Mothman in here, too.
I mean. It’s large. It’s got wings. It can fly.
I’m sure we can put some fire-breathing action in there, too.
#6 – Wraith/Ghost/Phantom. Hmmm. Now
you see them. Now you don’t. Just think of the potential plot
entanglements! And you know, in Nordic
tradition, ghosts are stuck in this world because they were bad. Hmm…. A
hot Viking ghost who was a really bad boy.
How bad would he have to be?
Hmm. BAD.
#5 – Witch/Warlock. Oh yeah. Bring it on.
I’m envisioning all kinds of sexy creatures casting spells and working
dark magic. Changing destiny. What’s not to love?
#4 – (I might be
running out of numbers.) This has got to
be the Demon. Devil incarnate. Beelzebub. Belphagor (I love this one. He’s one of the seven princes of hell. And that does mean there are six more of
them. Can anyone see potential SERIES in
here?)
#3 –Incubus/Succubus. I mean come on. No list is complete without creatures who
arrive specifically to have hot and heavy action with a human. Usually in their dreams. And always out of their control. Oh.
And don’t forget the Cambion. Yes.
This is a real creature. It’s
what the half-human offspring of a Succubus or Incubus is called. Wow. I
think I feel a plot coming on…
#2 – Werewolf, Jinn, Shape-shifter. Okay.
Confess. There isn’t much hotter
than a buff werewolf, or a cat-person.
Or a batman. It’s just so wide
open. Imagine the possibilities. A human who turns into something else…and
maybe they can’t even control the change.
Oh. My. My.
(I’m going to need wine soon!)
#1 – VAMPIRE. Definitely the top of any list. Oh yeah.
It’s the cold, calculating, classy personae. No.
It’s the mystique. The redemption
part. No. It’s the wandering of the earth thing. The lips and fangs. The draining blood stuff. Hmm.
That could be it, especially when it involves the neck thing. They bite right into an erogenous zone that
shoots messages through their victim’s veins.
No. Wait. It’s the entire package. That’s it.
There is nothing like a vampire - and NOTHING better than fantasizing
and writing about them.
Trust me. Or check one out. The Vampire Assassin League is a series of
really hot novellas, featuring soulless killers who wander the earth…and then what
happens when they run across the one human mate who reanimates them. WHY THESE TWO, VAL #11 is included in the
Paranormal Nights Bundle! It’s one hot
collection! Out today! 99 cents!
