Welcome Author R.A. Sears
R.A. Sears has a cinematic writing style, heavy on the eclectic and strange. A lover of words, she took classes like anatomy and physiology in college--along with criminalistics--to better her craft. Her interest in mythology shines through in her prose, as well as her background in urban fantasy and the paranormal. A protector of all furry creatures and a NY native, she now lives in Maryland with her black cat Nergal, and a dog rescued from Afghanistan who goes by the name Renegade. She shares her space and time with her loving, supportive husband and her firecracker one year old son. “From the Top” is the first of three books in the Entrance Saga.
Interview
Me: What inspired you as you wrote this book?
R.A. Sears: I had actually created the setting a few years ago for a role playing message board I set up. I’m big on world-building. I wanted something that was similar to the World of Darkness setting, a tabletop RPG world made by the White Wolf gaming company. A world very much like our own, but with more sinister undertones, and more dangers than you’d see on an average city street. The story itself came into being when I saw the submission call for “Darkest Desires” from Hot Ink Press. The original version of this story was featured in the anthology. How can you go wrong with an erotic story featuring demons?
Me: Were any characters based off of real people and if so- which character?
R.A. Sears: None of my characters were based off anyone I know. I mean, I think most authors put a little of themselves into each character they create, whether it be our good traits or bad.
Me: Was there any part of the book you had a hard time writing?
R.A. Sears: The biggest issue came from the waiting. Having all that time pass in the beginning, trying to create a believable build-up to the love scene, was rough. I know readers are antsy for the naughty stuff, but I don’t like to just throw two (or more) folks into bed without a good reason. There has to be a bit of time to display their attraction, at least for me. So getting through that took patience, something I have in short supply.
Me: What one song would sum up this book?
R.A. Sears: Definitely “Scream” by Avenged Sevenfold. If you haven’t heard it, look it up.
Me: How do you deal with writers block?
R.A. Sears: Cry about it. A lot. =P Not really, though. My normal coping mechanism is headphones with very loud music in a room away from my toddler and the television. I also do research, whether it’s for what I’m currently working on or not. Sometimes, stepping away from the story you’re frustrated with means coming back to it refreshed, with a clear head.

Teaser
I greeted him at the door by grabbing handfuls of his shirt and slamming him back against the door to shut it. As I suspected, the very slight pain I caused him from the jostling struck me a bit harder, causing me to arch against him, fingers tightening in the cloth to fight against it. “Cira? What the hell are you doing?”
I spun with him, shoving him hard against the wall, crying out from the jolt it sent through my body, but enjoying it in a way I’d never been able to admit to anyone. The heat of the pain brought a gush of fluids between my thighs that I hoped he could feel as I ground my hips to his, pinning him to the wall. I looked up into his eyes and asked point blank, “Am I repulsive to you, Baxa?”
He turned us around with inhuman speed so I was trapped between the solid muscle of his frame and the also immovable wall at my back, the impact knocking a bit of the breath from my lungs. He gripped a fistful of my hair and tilted my chin up, bringing his lips down hard onto mine, his tongue caressing every bit of my mouth in a way that made my knees weak. His other hand, so gentle before, slid beneath my shirt, wrapping those long fingers around my side and pulling me against him with it as he fed from my mouth like my lips were an oasis and he was dying of thirst in the desert.
When he finally let me up for air, we were both panting, my pulse like thunder in my ears. His voice trickled out as a growl that made me shiver, not wholly from fear. “I want to take you until your voice is ragged from screaming and you’ve painted your passion across my skin with your nails and teeth. Do you really think I would want the same from someone I found repulsive?”
