The Devil's Daughter

by C.A. King

Ghost Hunters had it wrong.

The Johnson brothers were living in the limelight, seeking out proof of the paranormal in front of the public eye. Fame, fortune, and success came hand-in-hand with evidence. Answers were worth their weight in gold. The trio had no idea they were asking all the wrong questions... until she appeared.

Pretty dresses and jewels meant nothing when all she wanted was respect. The moment Vallenna spiralled down a black hole, life turned upside down. It was the chance she’d been waiting her whole life for.

Born to rule two realms, but accepted by neither, the devil’s daughter is determined to leave her mark on both. Can the brothers stop her diabolical plans with only charisma and raw animal magnetism at their disposal?

#TheDevilsDaughter #ghosthunters #multiplerealms #paranormalinvestigations #MoonRituals #Magic #Devil #Netherworld #BeastMaster #ForbiddenLove #Demonic #Summoning

I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.

Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.

To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn't open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn't need to be a reason or trigger.

People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.

I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don't ever let anyone tell you different.

I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes—I want them to know they are making a difference.

Fast forward to today...

Rituals & Runes Anthology presents C. A. King Author Interview!

 

Looking for a fantastic read? All your favorite sexy creatures of your dreams are waiting for you in Rituals & Runes, a tantalizing collection of paranormal romance and urban fantasy tales. Angels, Demons, Shifters, Vampires...Oh My!

And if you wanted to hear about the books before they come out, we’ve got you covered. Read on for an author interview with C.A. King as she discusses, The Devil’s Daughter. BTW, can only get it through the anthology!

  

Author: C.A. King

 

Book: The Devil's Daughter

 R&R: Glad to chat with you today. We’re looking forward to this interview.

 

What inspired you to write about the characters in your book that is in the anthology?

 

King: A family member was actually involved in filming a ghost hunting type show. My mind went in a rather different direction following a few what-ifs.

 

R&R: Ghost hunting shows are the best! And that’s such a creative way to come up with a concept. Sometimes the inspiration strikes so nicely.

 

What made you take the leap and become a writer?

 

King: Writing was an escape from depression and the trials and tribulations of tragedies in my life.

 

R&R: Books can be a great escape for both the writer and the reader. Writing is very special.

 

If you had to name a pet after one of your characters, which character’s name would you use, and what type of pet would it be?

 

King: I probably wouldn’t. Names, whether in my stories or for pets, are very important to me. Each needs the perfect one or I’m not satisfied.

 

R&R: Understandable. Fur babies can be so special, as are our stories.

 

What is your favorite type of world-building to create? Magical or urban fantasy or real-world etc?

 

King: Magic! I love magic. The possibilities are endless.

 

R&R: That makes total sense. Magic does have infinite possibilities.

 

What job would your FMC have in the real world?

 

King: Oh! She’s a devil so world-ruler? It would at least be a power position, considering her abilities.

 

R&R: LOL! Love it! She seems like a ton of fun.

 

Was your writing process any different for this story versus your other books?

 

King: I think this is one of the easier stories to write. It flowed from the moment I sat down right through the end.

 

R&R: That’s the best! Glad to hear it.

 

What books do you have coming out that are not involved in the anthology? 

 

King: 2022-23 are years of the anthology for me. I have multiple anthologies and multi-author shared world books coming out, including some for charities.

 

R&R: Are you a morning person or a night owl?

 

King: Night, please.

 

R&R: Readers have A LOT to look forward to regarding The Devil’s Daughter and your other books. Thanks so much for talking with us! Continue on for more tidbits about The Devil’s Daughter.

Excerpt:

 

“Possibilities?” He scowled, pushing the rolling chair he was seated in out from behind a desk. “What possibilities? Are you saying you saw something in the pilot we missed?”

 

“I am,” Natalie agreed. “I think you should watch it again.”

 

He rolled back. “Okay. What am I looking for?”

 

Natalie pointed over his shoulder. “There.”

 

“What?” Jack shrugged.

“You tell everyone sometimes it takes a while for entities to speak,” Natalie explained. “But then it’s as if you forgot that part right after.”

 

Jack sighed, chewing on the end of a pen. “Still not getting what you want me to see.”

 

“The words the device answers,” Natalie huffed. “What if they aren’t just random? String them together.”

 

“Yes. Please. Help me. Get out. Wall. Idiots.” He arched a brow, glancing at her profile.

 

“And?” The pen landed on the desk. “What am I supposed to do with this?”

 

“Please help me get out of wall,” Natalie read off. “I heard the ‘of’ before ‘wall.’ Listen to it again, if you want.”

“Are you telling me, you honestly believe, something is stuck in the wall?” Jack shook his head, trying to wrap it around her line of thinking. “That’s sort of stretching it, don’t you think?”

 

“Yeah,” she answered. “And when you didn’t understand it took a while to form a complete sentence it called you three idiots.” Her voice rose. “And I fully agree.”

Rituals & Runes Anthology presents Bethany Shaw Author Interview!

 

Angels, Demons, Shifters, Vampires...Oh My!

All your favorite sexy creatures of your dreams are waiting for you in Rituals & Runes, a tantalizing collection of paranormal romance and urban fantasy tales.

Fall under the spell of Rituals & Runes, coming Fall 2022! Including the brand new book, Huntress, by Bethany Shaw. She discusses it in this interview.

Author: Bethany Shaw

 

Book: Huntress

 

R&R: Tell us 3 things we will find in your book for the anthology.

 

Bethany: You will find a lot of sass from my main character, Faythe. She is a strong and independent woman but underneath her layers has a heart of gold. The story has a Buffy/Charmed feel to it, and lastly Faythe and Sebastian aren’t afraid to fight for what they know is right.

 

R&R: I’m hooked already! Tell us three qualities of the leading man in your book.

 

Bethany: Sebastian is stubborn and will do anything to protect Faythe. He is a powerful wizard who uses his magic for the greater good and he loves Faythe more than she will ever know.

 

R&R: Sexy. What magic appears in your book and what challenges come with that magic?

 

Bethany: There is a lot of magic in Huntress. Faythe is a half-demon, half-witch so she has teleportation and fire conjuring from her demon half and is a medium with premonitions from her witch half. Sebastian can cast spells, Medium, advanced telekinesis, and electrokinesis.

 

R&R: Very rich magical talents. What makes your main character powerful? Does your main character's power relate to the Rituals and Runes Anthology theme?

 

Bethany: Faythe has had her powers bound since she was a young girl and is really just starting to figure out what she can do with them since the spell is fading.

 

R&R: That’s a great challenge to be involved in the story. Typically do you prefer the books you read to be steamy or sweet and what is your favorite genre to read?

 

Bethany: I prefer steamy books but definitely prefer more story than just steam. I enjoy PNR and science fiction romance the most.

 

R&R: Awesome! What is your favorite magical movie?

 

Bethany: Practical Magic

 

R&R: Love it. What books do you have coming out that are not involved in the anthology?

 

Bethany:

Alpha Moonstone, A Vampire Rejected Mate 8/4

Hawaiian Desire, 9/27

Captured by the Barbarian 10/26

 

R&R: We always could read more books. Would you rather live in reality or in your anthology book? Why?

 

Bethany: Reality. As fun as magic and creating new worlds is I love my kiddos and husband and can’t imagine being somewhere they aren’t.

 

R&R: Makes total sense. That’s very sweet. Thank you for chatting with us today. Readers, please read on to find out more about Huntress.

 

Book blurb:

Hunting vampires, demons and all things that go bump in the night is my job. Until the council I work for plots to kill me.

They murdered my brother and have set their sights on me.  Well, I’m not going down without a fight, and I just might take a few of them with me. I’m used to working alone. No one wants to pair up with a half-demon like me, except for Sebastian. He is everywhere I go and I can’t shake him. Sebastian ignites a fire in me and I want to trust him. The things he makes me feel set my body on fire. But it’s his father who has ordered the hit on me. It’s true what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. You just aren’t supposed to fall for the enemy and I’m falling hard. I just hope Sebastian isn’t the death of me.

Excerpt:

Sebastian ran to catch up with me. “Where are you going?”

I threw my hands up in the air and groaned. “Hunting. Do you plan on tagging along all night and bothering me?” Part of me really hoped he said yes. I bit the inside of my cheek at that thought. I shouldn’t want him here. He was a witch. The perfect council boy. Everything that I wasn’t. The bastard had taunted me all the way through elementary into high school. He’d been an ass until about a year or so ago. That’s when something changed between us.

There was an attraction. Something more.

I flinched when Sebastian reached out and put his hand on my shoulder. “Faythe, can we go somewhere and talk. Maybe we can come up with a plan.”

I leveled my glare at him. “I got work to do.” I put my palm on his hand to throw it off my shoulder when a premonition rocked me. I gasped as the vision took hold.

Sebastian dove toward me tackling me to the ground seconds before a demon’s blade would have hit me. We rolled across the grass and hit a gravestone. The demon, no demons approached us from all sides. These weren’t your low level demons, these were the kind that you should run from.

I opened both my palms and did something I’d never done for another person before, opened my own portal and dragged me and Sebastian straight into hell.

I snapped out of my vision with a gasp. My hand went to my chest. I drew in a shaky breath.

“What did you see?” Sebastian asked. He put his other hand on my shoulder so he was almost hugging me.

I shook my head and pulled away from him. “It was nothing.”

“You shouldn’t ignore premonitions. They usually mean something, Faythe.”

I rolled my eyes. Premonitions were my witch powers. They were erratic and I had a hard time making sense of them. They weren’t usually like this though. This one had shown me a lot. Enough to rock me to my core. Whatever I’d seen it wasn’t tonight. Sebastian had been wearing his leather jacket and he had on sweater tonight.

I shrugged away from him.

“Where are you going? What did you see?” Sebastian stalked after me.

“We are going to hell, apparently, but not tonight. Tonight I’m going home. See you later.” I waved my hand at him as I climbed on my bike. I flipped the ignition and put my foot on the pedal as I gave it some gas. Then sped away before he could say anything else. Why on earth would I ever think to take Sebastian into Hell with me? Hell was the only place I could open a portal to. When would this happen?

It wouldn’t. Couldn’t if I avoided him. That was easier said than done, but I’d never back away from a challenge.
