SILICON
By: Terri
Talley Venters
You
are cordially invited to a Valentines’ Day Party
February
14, 1913
8
o’clock in the evening
At
the beach home of Jeb and Shelby McAlister
In
St. Augustine, Florida
Priscilla squealed with excitement as she danced in circles, delighted
to receive the coveted Valentines’ Day party invitation hosted by her friends,
twins Jeb and Shelby. Priscilla, along with everyone else fortunate enough to
attend, looked forward this annual party of the season. The tradition started several
years ago when Jeb and Shelby’s parents wanted society to mingle with their
teenage children on Valentines’ Day in hopes to find good matches for their
twins amongst the children of their wealthy friends.
Everyone anticipated an engagement between Priscilla and Jeb. In fact
Priscilla let Jeb kiss her on the beach at last year’s Valentines’ Day party.
Although she’d hoped for a proposal last year, she understood the delay since
he and his twin sister, along with their parents, departed for Europe a few
days after last year’s party.
Priscilla worried why he never wrote to her during this last year. She
feared Jeb’s parents would try to marry him off to a lady of nobility during
their Grand Tour. She read the social pages everyday and felt thankful to hear
no news of him. Her heart would break if she learned Jeb got engaged to another
woman.
It didn’t surprise her to not see him since last year. The McAlister’s lived in Philadelphia, while
Priscilla and her family lived in New York. But like most wealthy families,
they spent their winters in Florida.
They took the Florida East Coast railroad to St. Augustine, Florida and
stayed in the luxurious Ponce De Leon Hotel. Since the beaches in Florida were
so beautiful, many wealthy families built their winter homes here including the
McAlister family.
Valentines’ Day finally arrived and Priscilla arrived at the
McAlister’s enormous beach home located on the inlet leading into St.
Augustine. Her full-length, red satin gown would normally appear inappropriate
on an unmarried woman, but her mother acquiesced and allowed Priscilla to
borrow hers for this special evening.
Priscilla walked up the steps of the party and felt breathless at the
sight of everyone wearing their finery--the women in beautiful gowns and jewels
and the men in coats with tails and top hats.
She entered the beautiful home and fantasized about her future with
Jeb. She pictured herself wearing the
latest fashions from Paris, adorned with diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires,
depending on which gown she chose. But
the best part about her fantasy life was the title of Mrs. Jeb McAlister.
She entered the enormous ballroom and immediately searched for
Jeb. She took the glass of champagne
handed to her by a servant, but ignored the scrumptious buffet meticulously
laid out in the formal dinning room of the mansion. She knew eating like a field hand repulsed
most gentlemen, along with her waistline. She saw many of her friends which
delighted her, but she saw no sign of any of the McAlister’s.
“Priscilla, darling, how wonderful to see you. Have you met Matthew Oxford of Boston?”
Madeline asked, kissing her cheeks to greet her friend since childhood.
“Of course, I remember Mr. Oxford.
How do you do?” Priscilla asked.
She raised her gloved-hand and allowed him to kiss the silken fabric
protecting her delicate fingers.
“How do you do, Priscilla. How
wonderful to see you again. I was just
telling Madeline how sorry I was to hear about her husband who went down on the
Titanic last April,” Matthew said.
“I’m so sorry for your loss, Madeline.
And how unfortunate I must again compete with the beautiful Madeline
Astor. How can I possibly land a fine
husband when every eye is on you tonight,” Priscilla said.
“Thank you, Priscilla. But I’m
afraid you outshine me in your beautiful red gown,” Madeline said.
“Madeline and I were just discussing how the tragedy of so many lost
souls on the Titanic increased my business last year,” Matthew said.
“How interesting. It’s good to hear something positive derived from
such a tragedy,” Priscilla said. She
tried to hide her shock to hear a man discussing business in front of ladies.
But his breach of etiquette reminded her of Matthew’s “nouveau riche” status.
“Mr. Oxford makes headstones for a living and his father owns a
granite quarry,” Madeline said, catching Priscilla up on the conversation while
sharing her misery of the dreadful tale.
“You see, tombstones are made from granite, although granite is
composed 65% of silicon dioxide,” Matthew said.
Priscilla forced her eyes not to close with boredom from this dreadful
conversation. She needed to find Jeb
without appearing rude. “Sounds fascinating, Matthew. Although I don’t care to
ever see another tombstone again, I’d love to hear more about the tombstone
making business. But if you’ll excuse me, I’d like to search for our host,
young Mr. McAlister,” Priscilla said.
Priscilla walked out to the beach and stood in the same spot where Jeb
had kissed her one year ago tonight. She missed him terribly and felt
disappointed she hadn’t seen him at his own party. She understood his duties as
a host, but she thought it rather odd that no one saw either Jeb or Shelby at
tonight’s party. In fact, no one saw or
heard from the McAlister’s since last year’s party.
She looked out at the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean and thought of
all the lost people who perished when the Titanic sank last spring. Priscilla prayed to see her beloved again.
“Oh, Jeb, I miss you terribly. I love you and I want to be your wife more than
anything in the world. Please come back to me.”
Priscilla couldn’t believe her eyes at the sight before her. As her
vision watched the circling lights of the lighthouse across the bay, she saw a
figure standing on the rocks. He looked like Jeb. She blinked her eyes and thought her prayers
were finally answered. Her heart knew the image she craved to see again
belonged to her beloved, Jeb McAlister.
She walked towards him and yelled, “Jeb.”
He looked at her without saying a word. He started walking towards the
house and Priscilla followed him. Although it thrilled her to see him again, it
concerned her when he didn’t come to her now. After an entire year apart, she
felt disappointed at his lack of response.
She’d expected Jeb to take her into his arms because he missed her as
much as she missed him.
She watched Jeb head to the house and couldn’t keep up with his fast
pace. She watched him walk through the open front door, almost knocking over a
late arriving guest. He didn’t even stop to greet him. What happened to his
manners?
Priscilla ran into the house and screamed “Jeb, Jeb, please wait, it’s
me, Priscilla.”
“Did you see Jeb?” someone asked.
“Yes, he walked right through the front door a few seconds ago. Didn’t
you see him too?” Priscilla asked as she looked through the crowded party to
search for Jeb.
“No, in fact no one has seen Jeb, Shelby, or their parents tonight,”
the other guest said.
“Look, there he is. Jeb is so tall; I can easily spot his top hat from
here. But what’s the white thing around his neck? It looks like a life jacket,”
Priscilla asked.
“Wouldn’t surprise me if Jeb decided to take a midnight sail by the
Castillo de San Marco. But I don’t see him. Where is he?” Matthew asked.
“Look, he’s right there going out the back door. He’s probably headed
towards his boat. It’s docked at the rear of the property,” Priscilla said,
pointing towards Jeb.
“Hey, everyone, Jeb is taking us on a midnight sail in the harbor.
Follow the man in a top hat and life preserver and grab bottle of champagne,”
Matthew said.
“Hurrah!” the party guests cheered in unison as they headed out the
back of the house.
“Where is he? I don’t see him,” everyone asked.
“He’s right there. How can you not see him? Everyone, follow me,”
Priscilla said.
She led the party outside, and everyone screamed in horror at the
sight before them. Four new granite gravestones now occupied the backyard.
Priscilla immediately read the engraving on the third marker. She now knew why she never heard from Jeb
again.
Here lies Jeb McAlister

Guest Blog Q&A with Tessa Dawn, Author of Blood Shadows - the latest installment in the Blood Curse series!!
Author Bio:
Tessa Dawn grew up in Colorado where she developed a deep affinity for the Rocky Mountains. After graduating with a degree in psychology, she worked for several years in criminal justice and mental health before returning to get her Master’s Degree in Nonprofit Management.
Tessa began writing as a child and composed her first full-length novel at the age of eleven. By the time she graduated high-school, she had a banker’s box full of short-stories and books. Since then, she has published works as diverse as poetry, greeting cards, workbooks for kids with autism, and academic curricula. The Blood Curse Series marks her long-desired return to her creative-writing roots and her first foray into the Dark Fantasy world of vampire fiction.
Tessa currently splits her time between the Colorado suburbs and mountains with her husband, two children, and “one very crazy cat.” She hopes to one day move to the country where she can own horses and what she considers “the most beautiful creature ever created” -- a German Shepherd.
Writing is her bliss.
Nachari Silivasi is a bright light in a Dark World. As the youngest vampire in a family of warriors, he has studied Magick for four-hundred years and acquired a rare mastery of the universe around him. He is beloved by his family; legendary for his good-looks; and known for his uncommon valor. Unfortunately, he has just made the ultimate sacrifice – he has traded his immortal life for the life of the Vampyr King.
Deanna Dubois is as talented as she is independent, but she has developed a strange and terrifying habit: Night after night, day after day, she sketches one horrifying scene after another -- the body of a gorgeous male being tortured in hell by demons. Disturbed by her ever growing obsession, she sets out to Dark Moon Vale to uncover the truth. Only, what she finds is a web of danger, destruction, and deceit.
Separated by space and time, yet drawn together by fate, Nachari and Deanna find themselves in an epic battle against evil: Nachari is forced to forge a path in a world of shadows, where torture and lust rule the night; while Deanna struggles to decide between two polar opposites – to flee from the truth or trade her mortal soul for the possibility
of a stranger’s salvation.
The stakes could not be higher.
The enemy could not be more lethal.
And the only way to reach the light
is to, first, enter the Blood Shadows.
And now for the interview!!
Hi Chad,
Thanks for having me on your blog. I’m looking forward to the interview!
Questions:
· How did you come up with the very creative foundation for your series, the Blood curse? Did the specifics evolve as you wrote Blood Destiny or did you have everything pretty much nailed down up front?
Many years ago, when I was still a teenager, I watched a documentary about an ancient civilization that went extinct after sacrificing all of their females to “male” gods (don’t remember the name). Needless to say, it left an impact (I was glad they all died, and I was appalled that they could’ve been so calloused and power-hungry). When I began the Blood Curse Series, I knew that I wanted to do two things: First, reinvent the mythology and origin of vampires (explain the what, how, and why of vampirism); and second, utilize the history I saw in that documentary. The Blood Curse allowed me to both.
· Your compelling series formula – with the shifting central character, primary romantic plot, and good vs. evil ongoing subplot (with some Vamps on the side of good) – shares some similarities with the Dark Hunter and Black Dagger brotherhood series (which I also love). Have you had an opportunity to read either series? If so, did you enjoy them?
I have not read the Dark Hunter series; I have, however, read BDB by JR Ward. And just like you, I love it!
· I read that you penned your first full length novel at the incredibly young age of 11. What was the story about? Do you still have it with you?
I have no idea what it was about… lol. I wrote SO MUCH…so often. I think that was just the age when I finally finished something full length. Luckily, those “books” never saw the light of day (I hope they still exist in a box somewhere, but trust me, they were pretty darn bad!) LOL
· I’m thinking with your background in criminal justice, there’s more than a little of yourself in Jocelyn Levi. What else do you have in common with the heroine from the first book in the series (Blood Destiny)?
Hmm, let me see: maybe her heart and some of her analytical qualities. Otherwise, not a whole lot. **Spoiler Alert** I would have felt great sympathy for Braden, too; and I would have made the same calculation in the shed about the Dark One (the enemy of my enemy is my friend – go for it). But I would not have tried to jump over the rail on the balcony; I would not have run out to help Nathaniel in the clearing (I would’ve hidden in a closet somewhere, under blankets, in a box…dialing 911…and praying); and it’s doubtful I would’ve been in that first cave to begin with…that depends. J
· In Blood Awakening , which happens to be my favorite book in the series so far, we are treated to a surprising twist, with the immergence of the daughters of King Sakarias (who was ruler of the Celestial Beings before the Blood Curse). Was this a part of the original series story arc in your mind or an ingenious addition?
This was not part of the original series. To develop the series, I created the history and mythology; I went into great detail about who the vampires would be (dark v. light) and why. Then, I fleshed them out into 3D color so to speak, breathed life into them, and gave them the reigns. From that moment forward, I’ve followed their characters and the story – most of the time, I have no idea what’s going to happen next. Except for in the epilogue of book four (which will be the main story in book five); I saw that happening early on – just didn’t know when or how.
· Your diverse publishing history (poetry, greeting cards, academic texts, workbooks for Autistic children and novels) is extremely unique. Which of these did you do first? Which types of media do you still work in?
I wrote poetry (for many years) and greeting cards first, and I think that background is evident in my writing style. I have to really concentrate on not going too far into the nuance and rhythm of the words: remind myself, “this is fiction!”
· While I’m eagerly (and impatiently) awaiting Nachari and Deanna’s story in Blood Shadows (2/28 release), I’m also curious about the fifth installment. By process of elimination, I assume book #5 will feature the Ancient Master Healer Kagen. Do you know who his female interest will be yet? Have you started working on the manuscript?
Well, let’s see: All I can say is your “assumption” is…not happening. LOL (However, if it’s any consolation, that’s what most of my reader’s assume). Book five is a surprise. It is something I saw happening before I finished book one, but I just didn’t know when or how I would write it.
And yes, as Kagen steps forward just a little bit more in each book, I’m beginning to get a deeper feel for him and where his character may need to go. While envisioning book five, I saw his destiny emerge in my imagination (for the FIRST time). As always, there will be a slight twist – but it won’t be in book five. Smiles.
· Will the series wrap up with Braden’s story (the apprentice) or will additional characters be introduced?
Again, I have no idea. I do know that a lot of readers are really interested in Braden and would like to see his character mature…and his story unfold. There is a lot of possibility with Braden because he’s so multi-layered. Right now, I don’t have any specific plans…
· Do you have your own favorite book in the series so far? If so, which is it and why is it your favorite?
Favorite book so far (and it was a total surprise) is Blood Possession. Favorite character: Nachari (so his book runs a close second).
· Who is your favorite author all-time? Why? Who are some of your current favorites?
I would have to take a month to think about my all-time favorite author, lol. However, I will say that Robert Masello (Blood and Ice) is the best “writer” I have ever seen. I don’t know if his books are great or not because I just get lost in his craft and sentence structure – the flow of his words and the easy perfection with which he wields them. It’s like staring at the Sistine chapel and wondering, how does anyone do that??? Ever? Really!
Some current favorites are Kim Harrison and Anne Bishop.
· How long did it take you to write Blood Destiny? What was the hardest part for you? Do you start out with a detailed outline or use more of a free flowing style?
I start out with a not-so-detailed outline (like a skeleton), and then I fill in the “flesh and bones” in layers. However, it always changes as I write – sometimes significantly. Have you ever seen someone try to move a donkey that doesn’t want to budge? That’s what my characters do to me when I try to take them somewhere they don’t want to go – or that isn’t entirely authentic for them. They dig in and refuse to go. Surprisingly, even if it’s a “bad” or painful scene, if that’s where they’re going -- that’s where they’re going.
· Do you track online reviews, rankings and sales figures closely? How do you handle less than complimentary reviews? Are you able to dismiss them and move on or do they get under your skin?
During the first two weeks of a release, I will look at many (but not all) of the early reviews to see how the book is doing as a whole. After that, and as surprising as this sounds, I don’t read them! Really, I don’t. If I (or my publisher) have requested a specific review, then of course, I read every word. And many of my readers will contact me directly to share their reactions, reviews, or questions & concerns (if they have them) – I always read EVERY word my readers write to me, even if it takes me a while to respond.
With respect to negative reviews, every author approaches this differently, so there’s more than one way to go about it. Personally, I think it’s a mistake to single-out and read negative reviews (just as it would be a mistake to single out and read positive reviews). Maybe it’s because I studied so much statistics in college, but for me, I see reviews as a snapshot of the whole, where overall patterns and trends tell us much more than individual postings. Don’t get me wrong, I pay close attention to my editor’s notes; I use a BETA reading group for feedback, and if I noticed a negative theme, trend, or problem from readers (on a bell curve, that would be over 10%), I would definitely take a look to see what’s going on.

Guest Blog Post with Kenzie Michaels, Author of Class Reunion
Meet Kenzie:
Kenzie Michaels resides in the Midwest with her husband, three children, and various household pets. Her fifth-grade teacher showed this avid reader how to write the stories swirling in her head, successfully unleashing her imagination upon the written word.
Kenzie is the 'wild child' of author Molly Daniels. They cohabitate nicely inside the brain of a woman in Indiana who's the mother of three and 'Aunt Molly' to the entire neighborhood. A devout chocoholic, her hubby has learned to watch out when the characters in her head take over and not get too upset when the words are flowing and all concept of time is lost. (LOL)
Class Reunion:
After being burned pretty badly by two different women in his past, Brian Vellinger has sworn off romance. Commitment-shy for the past fifteen years, he is stunned by his sudden attraction to a woman he's not seen since the last day of their senior year.
Natalie Collier thinks she's successfully put Brian Vellinger out of her mind. After harboring a secret crush all through high school and into college, she is both alarmed and thrilled when Brian makes his intentions known at their 25th class reunion. But will she succeed in softening his casual, 'sex only' policy, or will she end up just another notch on his belt?
Your exclusive Class Reunion sneak peak !
He tried to be casual about where he was headed; he stopped and joked with others, but his mind and his eyes kept returning to the honey-blonde mass of hair. Nat had twisted it up in a knot on top of her head, but Brian felt himself growing hard, remembering how it had framed her face as she’d bent over him that morning.
Fuck it…if they talk, they talk. She’s going back tomorrow anyway; what’s a little gossip going to hurt? As long as she understands this isn’t going anywhere. Brian switched tactics and intercepted her, motioning her over behind the enclosed shelter house a few yards away.
He made sure no one was looking and swung her into his arms for a thorough kiss, pressing his pelvis against hers. He felt her soften as her arms crept around his neck.
“Wow Bri…what was that for?” She smiled after they came up for air.
“Can’t a man kiss a beautiful woman for no reason? Besides…your tits are driving me crazy.” Brian unbuttoned her sleeveless shirt and placed kisses on the gentle curves above her bra cups. He wasn’t satisfied, and pulled one taut nipple free to drink of her sweetness. Suddenly he stopped and tugged both her bra and shirt back into place, gathering her close. “Christ, Natalie…what the hell have you done to me?”
“What do you mean?” Her words were muffled against his neck.
“I haven’t dragged a female behind a building since the time I kissed Beth Lewis behind the bleachers in the seventh grade.” He kissed her again and stepped back to rebutton her shirt. He took a deep breath. “How much longer do we have to be here, anyway?”
A look of surprise crossed her face. “People can leave at any time, but I thought you were supposed to stick around until everyone left. Unless you put Sandy in charge today…she’s the one who pulled all the tables together and made sure this area was reserved.”
“Shit. I forgot to thank her.” Brian ran a hand through his dark hair and sighed. “You’re right. Will you hang around with me, or do you and Lisa have plans for tonight?”
“No; no plans. I saw my parents yesterday afternoon, and left the evening wide open for any suggestions.” Natalie bit her lip and clasped her hands together.
Brian lifted her chin with one finger so she looked him in the eye. “Good. How about room service at your hotel?”
