    The Lion, the Witch and her Wardrobe

    The lion is Karnage, as the gif below pays respect to the Chinese Lion Gargoyles (shí shī) that were created as silent guardians during the Han dynasty in China. They’re magnificent pieces of art, and I’ve incorporated their history into Pagan and Karnage’s love story.

    I’d introduced the Xian gargoyles (Havoc and his dad Pathos) in my 2012 YA ebook titled RAZHER. Karnage is a major player in the sequel to that novel, which has a sneak peek up on Amazon from 2014. But since the story kept getting kinkier and darker, I realized the deleted scenes I’d created were more for an erotic romance featuring older characters.

    I’m narrowing Karnage’s final look down, so here are two more finalists:

     

     

     

    This version of a gargoyle by Dmitry Parkin is a masterful piece of 3d artwork, and is a fave of mine:

    As far as his lady love, the witch Pagan, this gargoyle enjoys seeing her wearing little to nothing:

     

     

    But when royal duties call, Pagan’s right by his side, dressed to impress:

    Fire Man

    Ronin Bey is a warlock who fell head over heels for a beautiful witch. For daring to love a woman engaged to another mage, their romance has been cursed . . . for centuries.

    I happened upon this wonderful painting called “Three Generations” by talented artist Melinda Byers:

    So, I thought I’d try a digital paint effect on this promo for Ondine, Pagan and Lilith:

    I’m working on Ondine’s promos (in-between editing my other books). I’d done this earlier one for Lilith and Yuri:

    Monsters and Lovers PT 2

    The way I relax while writing and editing (after my nine to five job) is to do promos for my books. Lately I’ve been in a paranormal state of mind, that’s why most of them have been about my trio of witches and their love interests. Here are a few featuring Lilith and her vampire lover Yuri:

    Monsters and Lovers

    Monsters and Lovers widget – extra small

    Instead of naming my new page on this site “creature feature” I’m going to call it Monsters and Lovers, since it highlights paranormal pairings. Here’s a larger version of the photo widget I created for it:

    I am a HUGE Bruno Mars fan. So I’m posting a link to his music video as part of a soundtrack for my trio of black witches:

     

    Just a few more promos:

    Black Girl Magic

    So, I’ve been reading about the CHARMED reboot and the controversy. Still, I’m very happy for Madeleine Mantock (she’s been cast as one of three sisters, which is Into the Badlands  loss after they foolishly killed off her character).

    Because I’m getting ready to release new ebooks (novellas and full length stories) I created a few GIFs to promote some of my own paranormal witches:

     

    Promo for the sister witch LILITH the elder. Lilith is the strongest of the trio.

     

    Promo for Ondine, the deadliest witch of the trio. Ondine is called “The Red Witch of Sorrows”

    Promo for Pagan. She’s the youngest and most impulsive sister witch.
