Influential books/authors back in the day…

When I was younger, I had a real love-hate relationship with Stephen King’s books. I started reading his work when I was a teenager. I didn’t want to like horror by any author (because, scary! Bad dreams! Ack!), but he’s a fantastic writer. Seriously, his stories are sooooo good, I had no choice but to love them. “The Shining” was my absolute favorite, at times so scary then also laugh-out-loud funny. “Pet Sematary,” “Christine,” and “Fire Starter” were also real page-turners. And one of his stories made me cry: “The Stand.”

Reading habits…

I read a lot, finishing at least one book per week, and, I’m often reading more than one story at a time. For example, this week I’m currently reading: BEYOND EARTH sci-fi romance anthology (the other stories in the collection), “The Ruthless Note,” by Nelia Alarcon (contemporary romance), Zodiac Academy’s “Cursed Fates,” by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti (fantasy romance), and a writing craft book. I tend to read a lot of series but also enjoy standalones, too. For a series, it’s fun to binge-read the entire thing when I discover a new-to-me series that has been out a while (like the Zodiac Academy), but I also don’t mind reading one novel in a series and then waiting for the next ones to be published. For example, Heather Long wrote two series where I was so hooked that I could never have waited for the entire collections to arrive. I had to buy each one the second she published it. If you like dark, reverse harem, why-choose romance, check them out:  the 82nd Street Vandals Series and the Bay Ridge Royals Series.

Writing stories and playing favorites…

I find the act of storytelling energizing. I struggle with insomnia from time to time, but no matter how sleepy I might be, when I dive into my current work-in-progress (WiP), I get a nice jolt of energy. Matcha and almond milk lattes help, too, LOL. I find that research often boosts my energy level, too. The downside of book research is that looking up one thing often leads to another, and another, and before I know it, I’ve lost a chunk of writing time to a massive research rabbit hole. Oops!

Now, I’ll let you in on a little secret: I have favorite characters, and sometimes, they aren’t the main character. In my vampire series, The Tranquilli Bloodline, my favorite character is the heroine’s mentor, Jonas. An ancient vampire originally from England, Jonas embodies extreme violence in a pretty package. He’s a man of few words, dark and moody, fiercely loyal and violently protective of those few people he loves (such as Carina the main character). I adore him so much that I gave him his own short story, VAMPIRE CODE. In my new sci-fi romance series, Cyborg Guardians of the Aurora, one of the supporting cast members in “Claiming Kaden” (the story currently in the BEYOND EARTH collection) charmed me so much I bumped up writing his story from last to second. I’m working on it right now. His name is Trace and he’s a tech-savvy, smack-talkin’ handsome devil who will meet his match in a mostly human hacker chick.

Happy Reading!

Celia

FEATURING:

Claiming Kaden by Celia Breslin

Sparks fly when a battle-hardened cyborg rescues a sassy human lost in the cosmos…

Earth-girl Calie is out of hope. Kidnapped, enslaved, then abandoned by aliens, she’s sure to suffer a slow death on their stupid space station. Then new trouble arrives, claiming her as their property, but hot on their heels is a grumpy guy with a big hot bod and blazing eyes… The thrill setting her skin afire has less to do with potential rescue or New Guy’s battle prowess, and everything to do with the way he looks at her.

Cyborg soldier Kaden is unamused by his enemy’s unhealthy interest in the vulnerable lone female with a sharp tongue and wild braids. Her terrible aim is complicating his rescue attempts, but her bravery, stubbornness, and velvet voice send electric need through both his human and cybernetic systems. He’ll do anything to save her.

Kaden wants to explore his attraction to Calie and claim her as his, but his sworn enemy’s relentless pursuit and Calie’s own skittishness challenge his goal. Calie appreciates all the cyborg has done for her, but she’s homesick and unsure about diving into a relationship, even if the hunky cyborg is the nicest man and best kisser in the universe.

While the enemy horde stalks them across the galaxy, can they learn to trust each other with both their lives and their hearts?

CLAIMING KADEN is a spicy, open-door, Fated Mates Rescue Romance, and the first installment in Celia Breslin’s CYBORG GUARDIANS OF THE AURORA science fiction romance series. If you like take-no-prisoners cyborgs and sassy heroines, sizzling seduction and intergalactic adventure, check out CLAIMING KADEN today!

 

About the Author


Celia Breslin lives in San Francisco, California, USA, with her family, which includes three feisty felines who like to stalk across her keyboard while she’s hard at work crafting urban fantasy, sci-fi and paranormal romances. Her current creature obsessions are cyborgs, the Fae, vampires, wolf shifters, and warrior-class angels, and her action-packed stories include some of her favorite tropes: fated mates, second chances, rescue romance, opposites attract, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, and more.

 

When not glued to her laptop, Celia likes to work out, read books (of course!), hang with her family, and binge-watch sci-fi and fantasy TV shows and movies. Matcha lattes keep her fueled for All The Life Stuff!
