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
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.
Book blurb:
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 spiraled 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?

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.”
Author Bio:
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 differently.
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...
