Of Ink and Quille

Please welcome Mr. Ray Rhamey to of Ink and Quille Monday and Tuesday. He'll be here offering editing tips, looking at paragraphs and answering questions. I've had the opportunity to work with him before - he flogged my writing a couple of years ago and it was well worth the searing bit of the whip! Thank you for coming out - get your questions ready and the line starts on the right ladies and gents...I'll be nice and supply the polysporin :)

The Beta book 3 of The Vanguards is released! Three days of hell, in charge, and running out of antacids.     As the pack’s Beta, Robert needs to watch over the Vasi werewolf pack for a few days. He hates the responsibility, but his job is to dissolve any problems while his alpha honeymoons. Nevertheless, trouble comes to town and her name is Esther. She's beguiling, beautiful and picks his pocket. Although Robert doesn’t trust her, he still wants to possess her.   Esther arrived in Chicago with the intention of slaying a vampire named Daedalus. While trailing her quarry, she encounters Robert who unhinges her world. He doesn’t know her trade, and she doesn’t know his connection to the vampire. Disturbed by her attraction to this unusual werewolf, she can’t decide which prey to hunt. The one who’s stolen her heart or the one who’ll fill her bank account.   Hot graphic werewolf sex, growing body parts, and one pissed off Nosferatu.     Buy Link...

Unfortunately, the spell is a trick that unleashes a centuries old famine demon. Fallen Guardian Angel Rahmiel once defeated the demon and was bound so he could fight it if it ever descended to the earth again. But there is the little problem of his imprisonment in an ice prison.
