Welcome CJ Ellisson and Rafe

 Meet Vivian. She’s a 580-year-old vampire who exudes sex, has a talent for drama, and is passionate about two things: her human husband, Rafe, and their resort for the undead. Her ability to project physical illusions has created the perfect vacation spot—a dark, isolated Alaskan hideaway where visitors can have their wildest fantasies come true.

Vivian knows the best performance requires perfect timing, but the powerful vamp is put to the test when she discovers a corpse in a locked guestroom minutes before the next arrivals. Always cool-headed, Rafe hides the body, convinced he and Vivian can find the culprit without disturbing their guests.

Juggling the increasingly outrageous demands of their customers while tracking a killer isn’t easy. Will their poking and prodding give them the answers they need, or will it uncover secrets Vivian would kill to protect?

Warning: This story contains some explicit sex scenes and is not intended for readers under 18

Vivian thinks she can control every aspect of a deadly game with her usual manipulations… but what if she can’t? Journey along, in this next installment of The V V Inn series, for a wild ride as the tale is told through the eyes of all her new seethe members.

Seven vampires and seven werewolves pay to hunt a supernatural criminal across the cold, vast grounds of an Alaskan resort. The one to catch her, and live through the encounter, will increase their power by feasting on hers.

The tiny vampire they track is more than she appears, however. To escape a fate of ten years in silver chains, she'll do anything to survive the weeklong excursion. This time, the darkness holds more than just the stinging bite of the Arctic—it holds death








CJ conducts an interview with Rafe:

Today we have the first interview with Rafe, the human male married and mate-bonded to Vivian McAndrews, the vampire character in the V V Inn series, written by me, C.J. Ellisson. I’ll be directing the interview here today.

CJ: Welcome, Rafe. It’s good to finally sit down and chat with you. Shall we get started right away with the questions?

Rafe: Sure (sets coffee mug on table). Lay it on me.

CJ: Why Vivian? You worked pretty hard to convince her you were the right one for her.

Rafe: After losing my first wife and our child, I was reluctant to love again for many years. Tracking down the elusive redhead from my past proved an interesting and distracting challenge. When I finally found her, she wanted nothing to do with me. Or so she said. While every man enjoys the chase, I quickly realized she was the right woman for me and decided to hound her until she’d let me prove it.

CJ: Hmm… diplomatic and vague as always. Okay, next question. Do you enjoy Alaska?

Rafe: (shudder) Damn, it’s cold! You all sit here comfy and cozy in the lower forty-eight, with no concept of the intense low temperatures above the Arctic Circle. It’s a beautiful and cruel place. Ultimately, I could take it or leave it – my heart is wherever Vivian decides to live.

CJ: I know lots of the female readers love the fun questions, like do you wear boxers or briefs?

Rafe: Doesn’t really matter to me. (shrugs) I’ll wear anything my wife buys. She’s the one who’ll be peeling it off with her teeth, so who am I to complain what it is? (smiles)

CJ: (shifts uncomfortably in chair) Whew. Okay then, maybe I should be asking why do you let your wife pick your underwear?

Rafe: (laughs out loud) What makes a lover – what he’s wearing or what he does when the clothes come off? If a simple thing like black skintight boxer briefs catches her eye then what’s the harm? It’s all just clothes to me.

CJ: Has she ever dressed you in anything outrageous?

Rafe: Sure. Once there was this elephant trunk g-string…

CJ: Okay! I shouldn’t have asked, my bad. (wipes hand across forehead and shuffles notes quickly) Let me find a more serious question…How do you feel about Jon’s interest in your wife?

Rafe: (brows draw down across his eyes) Who would want another man lusting after his wife? Obviously I don’t like it. Next question.

CJ: Um… all righty…. What do you think of people calling you a beta male to Vivian’s alpha?

Rafe: Perception is not always a reality. (steely look in his eye) My wife often over-reacts and I balance her out. She stirs a passion in me like I’ve never felt in my life and I help to keep the darkness inside her tightly leashed. It would be more accurate to call us equals and acknowledge that not every leader will lead exactly the same way.

CJ: This is quickly getting away from me, damn. I should have thought of more fun questions. Oh, I know, what is your favorite position? (wink)

Rafe: And you mean to tell me, dear, you don’t remember? Aren’t you writing it into the next book? (chuckles to himself) While I can’t choose just one position and call it my all time favorite, Vivian certainly enjoys that one you labeled the “fanastic four”. Think your readers will be giving it a try after they read about it?

CJ: (blushes) Er… umm… And that ends our interview for today. Thanks for taking the time with me here today, Rafe.

Rafe: (rakish glint in his eye) Not nearly as much time as you took “practicing” that scene in your mind… among other places as well…

CJ: Shhh! Can’t you just shut up now? Go back to your wife and stop teasing the humble writer.

Rafe: Humble my ass. Where do you hide your crop? (winks)

CJ: Argh!!! You are insufferable! Why does she put up with you?

Rafe: I have no idea. (stretches languorously and flexes his massive biceps) Maybe it’s because I have a big thick di—?

Due to technical difficulties this ends our interview for today. Thanks Pimpin’ Reads for having us here today and thank you all so much for attending! After his mike went dead, Rafe promised to make up for his crudeness by offering a free set of V V Inn ebooks to a lucky commenter today. The giveaway will be increased every ten commenters. At twenty we’ll give out three sets of books total and if we get to thirty it will be six sets total.

Share the link, share the fun, and increase your chances of winning! It’s all good. Don’t make me get my crop! :-D
