Guest Blogger Christopher Craven

7:52 PM | Posted by Charisma Knight | | Edit Post
Hi Everyone! Please welcome my guest blogger, Christopher Craven. Christopher is a m/m romantic suspense writer I've just recently met. In another week or so, I plan to invite him back for an author interview. For now, please take this opportunity to get to know him. 


* * * *
Christopher Craven grew up the scrawny middle child in a semi-liberal family residing in Phoenix, Arizona. From the time he was able to write his own name, Chris knew that he was destined to write for the world. Thanking his mother, who handed him his first adult novel in junior high, Chris strives to become a prolific name in the literary world. Preferring to write erotic romance that explores the love between kindred spirits and Romantic Suspense, Chris also enjoys barefoot strolls along the beach but can most often be found roaming the Eastern Colorado plateaus when he isn't writing.   Chris can be reached on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/authorchriscraven and found online at  http://cravenheat.blogspot.com/ or emailed at  authorcraven@gmail.com
As my bio says above, I’m Chris Craven. I got into romance writing with the encouragement from other writing friends. Then I read one for myself, a TA Chase as a matter of fact. Once I saw the growing audience, I figured I’d give it a shot. Well, here I am today with a hot m/m romantic suspense series releasing throughout 2011 and a fiery short story that has been a hit ARe entitled “The Bystander” that released in November. The first in my series, “October Sun,” releases on January 11th through Rebel Ink Press. Here’s a bit about OS:

Love is the strongest force in the universe…
Defense attorney Miles Turner seems to have it all.  At the height of his game professionally, he’s just been hired to defend a famous L.A. party boy’s less than stellar reputation, a case that stands to earn Miles a small fortune.  And to top it off, his love life isn’t bad either.  Even the headache he can’t seem to shake isn’t strong enough to overpower the tenderness he has for his partner.  Miles Turner is finally happy.
Landon Black is living a life beyond his dreams.  Finishing his degree towards a career he’s always wanted, Landon might spend his days studying, but his nights are filled with the one thing he can’t live without--love.  Even the thought of spending a weekend at the upcoming Black family reunion with his less than tolerant father isn't enough to extinguish the excitement Landon feels at the reality of a getaway trip with his lover.
But it can be taken away in an instant…
As members of the “Black Pack” come together in the snow capped mountains of Colorado at Lake Alexander, no-one can see what’s looming ahead-- an event with consequences so severe it stands to alter all of their lives forever.
Prepared with nothing but his integrity and a heart full of hope, Miles is praying for a miracle while Landon, forced to play a high stakes game of life-or-death, is asking himself if the love he has is enough to offer.

Here’s a tiny teaser from “October Sun”: 
Rush hour traffic in California left more to be desired though Miles Turner was used to an hour commute. The fact of the matter was it allowed him some solitude and he enjoyed tuning into his satellite radio while making the drive. 
And thank God Miles had air conditioning in his Mercedes. Although it was late September, the temperatures in L.A. still hadn't cooled that much and while he didn't want to be a mess when he got home, the image Miles' had of a glistening Landon Black waiting to get rowdy with him certainly worked.
Since Landon would be a couple hours later than usual, Miles felt that ordering take-out would be a nice change of pace given the choice of leftovers from three nights ago. 
Arriving home, Miles turned the key in the front door before almost tripping on the UPS package sitting smack dab in the middle of the porch. Miles gathered the box and reached for the regular mail. Shuffling envelopes, the package and grasping hold of his briefcase with one arm, he pushed open the front door while juggling the paper sack of Chinese food in the other.
As Miles reached the kitchen, he offloaded the items on the end of a counter before turning on the Bose sound system that hung beneath a cupboard. When he felt the vibration inside his sport coat, Miles' mind immediately jumped to filthy thoughts.
Just got out of class. On my way home now. I’m famished. What’s for dinner? Oh, umm… never mind.  Okay, leaving now! Well, unless you wanted to…   xoxo- Landon
Miles' husband, Landon, was always teasing. It was perhaps the most endearing quality that attracted Miles to the man in the first place. He remember seeing Landon that first time, watching as the young man with gorgeous eyes watched him, hiding behind stacks of poetry books in a bookstore on Wilshire Boulevard. To this day both men loved to read.
Feeling mildly romantic, Miles lit pillar candles and dimmed the lights in the dining room. Setting the table with their formal china, Miles put out a silver pail of fresh ice and nestled the bottle of Cristal into the glacial basin to chill.
Miles changed the music on the sound system to a station that played soft, classical standards, which were Landon's favorite.
While he was at it, Miles figured he’d please Landon further by changing out of his work attire, deciding on a pair of silk boxers instead. Miles generously wrapped a long silk tie around his slender neck.
The moment he realized Landon was home, Miles hurried down the stairs as quickly as he could and rested on the bottom step.
Posed with his right leg extended and his left leg bent beside, Miles faced Landon as the young man entered the entry way and motioned him closer.
Surges of intensity fragmented throughout Miles’s spine. Seeing Landon react to him spread between the metallic banisters, Miles thought about what he'd done to deserve such a fantastic partner. Miles watched as Landon smiled. It was the tie. That was what really did it for Landon and Miles knew it. Seeing that tie dangle freely from Miles bronzed chest always sent the Landon into overdrive.
“I’ve been expecting you,” Miles announced, running his right hand through his sable brown hair.
“I’ve missed you, too,” Landon bit back, shuffling a quick path to his lover.
Landon reached out, grabbing Miles’ tie, gently tugging his mate to his feet. Landon pulled Miles closer, groping at his lovers plump ass, retracted his head slightly and rested his forehead on Miles’ forehead.
“What’s for dinner, love?” Landon questioned.
“Take off your shirt and I’ll show you.”
Flinging off his shoes, Landon followed his eager partner into the dining room while sliding his t-shirt the length of his taut chest. Hearing the mellow tune of Moonlight Sonata put Landon at ease as he forgot about his day and focused on his lover.
* * * *
On January 11, 2011—you can read “October Sun” in its entirety from www.allromanceebooks.com , your Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook and more.  
Thank you, Charisma for having me. It’s been a pleasure being here today!

About Me

My Photo
Charisma Knight
I'm a lover of erotica and erotic romance. Throw in a little paranormal and BDSM, and I'm happier than a pig in-- well, you get the idea. Vampires, Vampires, and more Vampires! I never grow tired of them and then there are those sexy wolf-shifters. Did I mention vampires? I enjoy writing in all aspects of sexual relationships from sweet intense lovemaking to all out raw animalistic passion. Depending on my mood, sometimes my writing is over the edge and not suitable for those who are faint-hearted. ; )
