It is common for speculative fiction markets to request no "gratuitous" sex in their guidelines. But sex isn't gratuitous when it advances the character or relationship development, the plot, even the worldbuilding - or all of the above. How to write sex that matters - and why we should.

Reading from 7:30-8 pm

Room: Bartell

I hope to see you there!

It's Raining Books Reviews However Long the Night

This is the best review to date of However Long the Night.


Here's the review:
I started reading this not really knowing what to expect. I only hoped I wouldn’t be bored. Well, I was far from bored, I was fascinated.

The story starts with a Cuban family being forced to leave Cuba during the boatlift of 1980. The story is focused on Cid Milan, who was a teenager when he first arrived in the United States.

When we meet him, he's a very successful architect in Miami, and I expected the story to follow in a predictable pattern. He was handsome, wealthy, had a large company, and a beautiful girlfriend. However, he wasn’t totally content with his life. He spent very little time with his family as there was, apparently, a lot of conflict with them. This is when I began to be really hooked because there was clearly more to this than I had first believed.

When his dying father requested that he come to see him, he did so, begrudgingly. Once there, however, he found out that twenty-five years before, his father had done something to him and to someone he loved which was unforgiveable. Now he realized that he would have to return to Cuba to resolve the situation. He talks his brother into accompanying him and makes his plans.

I became totally involved now. What would happen to him when he returned? Certainly it would be extremely dangerous, but he felt he had to go. I couldn’t put the book down. I had to know what would happen.

This was fascinating to me, as I discovered all the difficulties he faced as he tried to resolve all the problems his father had caused. It was so interesting to follow him in Cuba, a country which we have heard so much about, but in these past years have really not known much about and what was happening there, and how dangerous it actually was.

I was on the edge of my seat as the mystery of what had happened slowly unfolded. I was completely involved in the characters and the story. Mr. Pereda is very skilled, and his writing kept me glued to my chair, flipping pages, dying to see how everything was resolved. The result was a very unusual but very happy ending.

This story was probably one of the most well written that I have read in a long time. It really kept my interest, was well worth all the time I put into reading it, and it was something I kept thinking about long after I set my eReader aside. I would give this a 5 Plus, if that was possible.

Rated 5/5 flowers.

The original review can be found at It's Raining Books published another outstanding review of However Long the Night. Hopefully, it will get on Amazon. Let's post it on FB, Twitter, Goodreads, EP, etcetera.

Deeds of Deceit from Eternal Press

Friends, be forewarned-- Deeds of Deceit (as reviewed by Antya Lentes of Paper Dragon Ink) is spicy! It's also enthralling, engulfing. I've sent heroine Bayliss Jones on an elevator ride into the nethermost region of her mind and cut the cables. Deeds of Deceit is a murder mystery but also a mystery of the heart. I hope the obsessive love between Bayliss and Sheriff Byron McGill gets under your skin and stays there. -- Kathleen Rowland

Here are some excerpts from my upcoming book:  The Devil is Real as Light Reveals

     John scanned the night with his black eyes, even blacker than the night.  He was ready for the kill.  He had lost his thrill of the kill but he was programmed to the kill and he knew of nothing but the kill.  He was proud of the fact that he could kill so ruthlessly and so expertly.  His heart had stopped caring long ago even though he was a very young man, only 17, he felt old.  The sin of his brutal acts lay heavy on his soul. Sulfur was in his nostrils and the Devil his master.

      His instincts were all he had left.  He was like a dead man walking but not feeling, breathing, not living. There was iron beneath his clothes-hot, resilient—male, ready for any action, any deed. But there was no heart, no empathy, no love for anyone and especially not for himself.



Her heart was spitting about in her chest as her mind tried to grasp and hold to the truth of things.  She wondered why people always assume the Devil is a fairy tale.  Something told by people to frighten children.  She knew the devil real and Hell is a place you don’t want to go.
     Rachael wondered, if you are not blinded by the world and people already headed to that dreaded place, then all could see it, all would know it, and earnestly seek God; if it is not too late for them. Because once they know the devil and hell are real, and they know they are headed in the wrong direction. Surly they would try to amend their ways.  Most people did, did  they not?

Ok, somehow I don't get blogging.  I am trying to log on and blog with the paranormal book writers and I am lost.  I will post this and someone may take pity on me and tell me what I am doing wrong.  My next book or the one I am working on is called:  "The Devil is Real as Light Reveals and is about the Devil and being able to concieve of evil. It has a woman with all kinds of super evil determining power and a really nasty demon man that falls for her.  So tell me is anyone out there to comment on this?

Molly Reviews HLTN

Reviews by Molly's review of However Long the Night today (3/7/12):
Okay, let’s be honest here. A romance novel….from a GUY? Yeppers. And let me tell you this. David Pereda really KNOWS how to capture the reader instantly with his characters, and a twistful plot line that will knock you down….and keep you hooked until the end.
Combining history with fiction, Pereda takes a dive into the Cuban world in the 1980s. He takes his plot line and adds the characters to the mix in such a way that the reader will not be let go. You become the characters and feel every emotion that they do. He adds lies to the story that will leave the reader wondering how anyone could do that.
Cid left Cuba in the 1980′s with his father, to land in America. He left behind his ways of life and the people that were important to him, only to live a life that was based on lies, hurt and anger. But, once in America, he embraces it, and moves on. Little did he know, that back in Cuba….there’s the answer to a long lived lie, waiting for him.
Cid’s father, Colonel Milan is sick. On his deathbed, he tells Cid just what he wants. To return to Cuba and bring back his grandson, and Cid’s former love, to meet him. Cid, shocked at the revelation and not sure what to think of that, dives into his past and returns to the land of his youth. What ensues there, will leave the reader on a fabulous ride of romance and suspense as lies turn into truth,betrayal into trust and forgiveness is pursued.
This is an interesting twist on a romance novel, and it’s one that I am glad that I had the pleasure of reading. It grips the reader so wholly that before they know, it’s over, and you’re left with a feeling of needing more. This is most definitely a 5 Book worthy novel, and I am so pleased to say that I am a new fan of this highly talented author! I can’t wait to read more work by him, even if they aren’t romance novels! If they are as good as this book, then they will be awesome.

A New Day...:)

Well hey,

So, the drama of last week is over. And for that I am completely happy. So with all of the shite of last week, something kewl came from it. I was offered a new contract from my publishing company for Shades of Grey, my historical fiction book. To say that I was ecstatic would be an understatement lol, but I'm totally stoked.

This was the silver lining of last week. So, finally I'm done with book 11, but as I was going through them, I decided to put in more of the Council. I noticed that throughout all 11 books so far, that there was only a few incidents that they actually came face to face with them, so I decided to incorporate them through out the book, so that you, my readers can see how truly diabolical they actually are. I think you'll like what I've done, because I had so much fun writing it. I like the fact that i get to be devious, calculating and just plain evil, and have to answer to no one for it, because it's not really me haha.

So book 11 is done, and we have, enter the Titans. But Arieanna doesn't know that, and I certainly won't tell you who it is, you have to read it...

As for the reviews, (I'm over the Bitten by Paranormal Romance by Artemis) but I feel like the Coffee Time one had some valid points about the book that they didn't like, but then I feel like to each his own. I guess when we as writers write, we sometimes forget that we have an audience to write to. But at the same time, you can't please everyone. When I wrote Teaching Between Midnight and Dawn, I had a goal and a picture, or a filmstrip in my head that I could see rolling as i wrote. Maybe the fact that i am a teacher took over where the myths were concerned, but as for my fans they actually said that they loved it; despite what the Reviewer Artemis said about it being a snooze fest.

I think that's why i had such an aversion to what she wrote. I think there is a way to say that you don't like something, and being honest if fine. Just act like an adult when you do it. I take comfort in the fact that people actually championed my book on her site, and contrary to what they posted, I have no clue who those people are; except to say that i am truly proud that they stood up for me, and are my fans.

Stay tuned for new updates on the progress of Shades of Grey, as well as Teach Me the Night, the second book in the teaching between midnight and dawn series.

Jersey Girl Review of However Long the Night

Jersey Girl Book Reviews posted the following review of However Long the Night today:
However Long The Night is a story that has an intriguing mixture of romance and suspense. The storyline is well written and captivates the reader from the beginning. I found that the story reads like a history lesson, the author's descriptions of Cuba's history and the 1980 Mariel boatlift to the US was very detailed and fascinating. The characters were complex and realistic, their individual stories and intertwining lives gave the story more depth and made it powerfully compelling. I couldn't help but love Cid's character, his compassion and determination to make things right had me cheering him on as he went on his journey of self-discovery. The storyline has many plots, with twists and turns that keeps the reader intrigued, it is a fast-paced story with lost love, found love, betrayal, forgiveness and redemption ... all of these themes create a story that is so much more than just a contemporary romance novel.
I enjoyed reading However Long The Night, and would recommend this novel to romance fans who would enjoy reading a story that is so much more than just the typical romance novel. It is well worth the read, and it won't leave you disappointed.

Kathryn Meyer Griffith at Rob Blaze’s Tales of Horror Blog

THE LAST VAMPIRE by Kathryn Meyer Griffith
Hi All,
I usually don’t promote all the blogs or the reviews I get (I've become a little embarrassed at how many good ones I've been getting), but ROB BLAZE’S TALES OF HORROR blog on Friday February 24, 2012 is an exception. He said some really nice things about me….and I was floored. Especially since that debacle on Goodreads and Amazon where a mean-spirited reviewer really trashed me...and afterwards some one (a writer,and perhaps an editor as well, I thought was my friend ) here at Eternal also blogged and said awful things about me that really hurt. If you get a chance go take a look/read please here:
