Hi Sophie thanx for stopping by. Sophie did an amazing post for me and my heroine Evaine. She even had her witches make Evaine an evening gown, so because of that I simply could NOT pass up the opportunity to have her stop by and tell us a bit more about herself. Take it away Sophie!
What is your latest obsession?
Right now, I’m filling my e-reader archives with romances featuring the following: fem-domme BDSM, dark fairy tales, and creatures with bad attitudes and bloodlust. I know, right? I’m just a sucker for a good time. (And chocolate! Chocolate is THE business.) When I’m not reading the naughty-licious, you’ll find me tacking away at the typewriter with spinning needles for keys. Yep, I’m good for nothing but writing, spanks and chocolate. (heavy sigh)
Who is your secret crush?
The Man in the Moon. (Asshat has yet to say a word to me.)
Shoes? Purses? Or Jewelry?
Shoes are the business. I wear my heels sinister and high. Sometimes, there’s even blood splatter speckles on them. (It’s a print, of course. Not real blood. Well…not always.)
I don’t give a whit about purses, but just so you know—mine has cupcakes on it. (No shit.)
As for jewelry, there are colonial ships hanging from my ear lobes, rings on every finger, three bangle bracelets on my right arm, and the gold chain with an anchor pendant my mother gave me after she retired from the United States Navy.
Coffee? Tea? Hot chocolate? Or something else?
Chocolate, cake and candy. The end. (Oh, and cigarettes.)
What was your Best Vacation Ever?
Recently, I took a trip to New Gotham. What’s New Gotham?
“There is a place where vampires roam free and the cake and libraries are plentiful. A place where our favorite storybook characters come back from the dead in a re-animated world where books are mere records of all that has come and all that will be.
A fictitious city near the shores of modern-day New York, New Gotham is Noir mixture of Manhattan and a few small metropolitan cities like DC Comic’s Gotham or Pittsburgh, Philadelphia. Think small, but big. Stark skylights ripping into the twilight with a haunting raven crest. A melting pot for the wicked.” ~New Gotham, A Survival Guide
Oh, indeed. It was a bloody good time.
The end…Thank you so much for hosting me, Rebekah! I had an absolutely blast with this interview and I look forward to more wonderful things from you in the future. J

Book Description:
Remember the story about the troll who lived under the bridge—yes, well, that twit didn’t have to pay rent.
Owner and operator of Bits and Pieces, and resident expert on charms and glamours, Elsa Karr is a witch with a sour frown and a list of things to do as long as Thor’s hammer. Top of the list is saving her father’s shop from ruin. If she isn’t trying to claw her way out of debt, she’s arguing with her cat, Fenris, or shoveling carts of cake into her gob. She’s not interested in romance or the vampire who rents the flat above her shop. All she wants is a little peace and chocolate–fine, all right! All right! The vampire is kind of screw all cute. (Curse him.)
The disgraced son and heir of the Wingates House vampire clan and a mad-man to boot, Marshall Ansley spends most of his time working and dodging his mother’s phone calls. Marshall is beyond family. He’s beyond everyone, actually. Don’t be daft, he especially doesn’t do…Christmas. But behold, the plague brings an original flavor of annoyance this year when his boss tasks him with acquiring the account of a recluse fey and her upcoming Gothic clothing boutique, Sinister Stitches. That is the ONLY reason he’s bothering with his shrewish landlord. No, that’s it. No…really. Fine, if you insist, the witch might be a tad bit…all right, she’s adorable. (Damn her.)
Scrooge meets Scrooge. Dominant meets Dominant. Tempers…spark. In each other, they may unfold a tale that only comes to pass on the darkest of nights.
About the Author:
Sophie Avett is kind of a nerd. Like not even one of the cute, hip ones everyone brags about nowadays. More like the socially awkward hippie who eats way too much bread and dreams about being a dragon from behind towers of mythology books. Um…yeah. Picture old, tattered paperbacks and comic books–mostly Batman and Wonder Woman–dwarfing a tiny desk, with just barely enough room for the troll who writes there and the 70 pound hell-hound that insists of laying it’s wet nose on top of her bare foot.
Granted not the most exciting existence, but she tries to make up for it by writing romances populated with her own peculiar ilk of paranormal beasties. Trolls, wyverns, the obscure Nordic brownie–she likes to keep things interesting. And bloody. (And mostly naked–but, we’ll keep that bit between us.)
Sophie Avett loves to hear from her readers. (Hi, mom.) So if there’s something on your mind, feel free to leave a message after the scream.
