Dawn of the Seraphs - part of Immortal Fire, Coming soon to Love You Divine!
by Adrianne Brennan
Genre: m/m paranormal/futuristic/sci-fi/erotic romance

Blurb:
Tamar is a Seraph, a member of an influential organization of powerful psychics known as ANGEL. Seraphs are humans who have evolved to have varying psychic abilities. Possessing a greater lifespan and intelligence than ordinary humans, Seraphs within ANGEL grow to their full potential through study and practice.

In the year 4287 on planet Earth, ANGEL has deteriorated to become the harbor of the bored elite. A small but passionate rebellion rises to take back the power they once held. In pursuit of his own dreams, Tamar is caught in the chaotic struggle for evolution, power, and to define the greater good.

Kir, an old rival from his days as an apprentice within ANGEL, resurfaces, threatening to shred Tamar’s world into bits…along with his heart. Their ideals clash, and a bitter fight ensues between them. Can Tamar’s courage save Kir from the darkness which plagues him while remaining true to himself and what he holds dear?

“I chose you for this mission for a reason. You’ve got potential, serious potential. And it disgusts me to see you squander it on petty bullshit assignments. You’re wasting away in ANGEL, Tam, and it’s not right.”

Now Kir’s feigning concern. Does he think I’m stupid? Does he think I don’t remember how he treated me all throughout my time in ANGEL academy? “Oh, I get it, all right.” Tamar let out a short laugh. “You think I’m pathetic. When this is all over, you’ll have your laugh, I’m sure.”

Kir just grinned at him. “If I wanted to laugh, I’d be laughing now. Trust me.”

Something inside Tamar snapped, and his left first shot forward in an attempt to punch Kir in the face. But Kir was too fast for him, and he managed to get both of Tamar’s wrists pinned to the wall.

The rest of the motions went by in a blur. Tamar struggling, Kir shouting. Kir’s face smashing into his own. By accident? No, not by accident. Kir’s lips on his. The touch seared Tamar to the core. Their mouths pressed together, and both heat and tongues mingled into a delightful haze.

Oh hell, this can’t be happening. Kir is kissing me…?

And oh, it felt good. Tamar was on fire, his cock hard and throbbing in his pants. How long had it been since he had a partner? Way too long.

The air smelled of spice, sex, and sweat. Tamar could make out the underlying hint of cloves from Kir’s cologne. Wrists now free, his hands tangled themselves in Kir’s hair. Ha, it won’t be neat anymore after this. Bet he frantically combs it after sex so he doesn’t have bedhead.

Kir ripped open the front of Tamar’s pants and yanked them down, freeing his erection from the bondage of clothing.

(I’m dying to find out how you taste. Shall I find out?)

Tamar sucked in his breath. Was this Kir’s intention all along? Blow his mind, then blow him? I’ll never understand this guy as long as I live, and I’m going to be living a damned long time….

The panels went very well, and I always came away as a panelist saying “We could’ve covered even more info for another hour!” I’d have to say that the best ones I did were on Blogging for Writers, Book Publicity 101, Secret Societies in Fiction, and Vampires in 21st Century Literature. I was asked fantastic questions on a variety of topics, and my business card stock is now much lighter. Hoo boy.

I went party hopping Saturday night. I had a WONDERFUL time. Boy do we geeks really know how to throw a party! *g* I have some souvenirs from the events, including a really cool shotglass.

I got to meet Trish on Saturday, and we did booksignings at the same table. We also attended the Torchwood panel together–one of two panels I got to go to while I was there. I loved, loved, loved doing the booksignings and panels, but it took a LOT out of my con time. Next year I will do a max of 4-5 panels, and no more.

The booksignings went amazingly well. I sold over twenty books and people went away with bookmarks, mint chocolates, business cards, and a bunch of them signed up for my email newsletter. I also met a lot of really awesome people–some of them VERY local to me!–and had some terrific conversations.

I got a ton of exercise. Lugging two HUUUUGE and heavy bags of promo goods up and down 4-7 flights of stairs can take a lot out of you, and I did that daily. Sometimes even more than once daily! Between shoveling myself out of the parking garage and shoveling myself into my driveway today, I think I can safely say that I haven’t eaten enough all weekend and today. I probably actually LOST weight even though most of what I ate there really was not my usual standard of “health food”.

It feels very weird to be back. I went away to a far away land where everyone is as big of a geek and scifi/fantasy/paranormal/anime fan as I am. Here are some of the quotables:

“Let me get this straight…you’re a software engineer, a writer, dressed like THAT, and you got up at 7am to watch anime today? How many marriage proposals have you received this weekend?”

“I just underwent the cab ride of death and feel great to be alive. So what panels are going on right now?”

“My only suggestion for your excerpt is to have him use the knife to cut off her underwear.” (I agree–wasted opportunity!)

“So, any more magic wands fall on your head today?”

(From a sign) “NO CAPES–use caution while using the escalator!”

“Have any black paint?” “No, but I have mint chocolates. Some of them are dark; maybe you can smear it on?”

“What sleep? It’s Arisia!”

“F-bomb? Like this?” *makes sound of landing bomb* “FUCK!” (you had to be there!!)

I’m sure I’ll think up more later, but those are just a few of the highlights.
