New Release and Giveaway! Fin’s Fantasy by Jocelyn Dex

Posted on by

It’s great to have Jocelyn Dex back. We share a love for the awesomeness that are demons. And Jocelyn is celebrating the release of her newest book in the Sempire Seductions Series, Fin’s Fantasy. Before Fin’s Fantasy, Jocelyn released Valia’s Villain. I totally dig the angle with her Sempire Seductions Series, generally female demons that need to consume semen to survive. Makes for some interesting conflict and sexy fun. (Jocelyn stopped by a while back and we had a fun discussion on demons. Check it out by clicking here.) Be sure to scroll down and check out the Rafflecopter link for her giveaway to celebrate the release of Fin’s Fantasy.

To start off, a brief interview with Jocelyn!

Jocelyn: Thanks for having me here to talk about my Sempire Seductions series and to celebrate the release of the third book, Fin’s Fantasy!

Me: I read Araya’s Addiction and loved the sexiness, Araya’s conflict with her human and demon sides, and her love interest Kean. You mentioned that Valia’s Villain is different in tone than Araya’s Addiction. How so? (It sounds like lots of fun…especially the handcuffs part…ahem 🙂 What about Fin’s Fantasy compared to the other two? 

Thank you!

Araya and Valia are very different heroines. Whereas Araya is reluctant to give in to her demon nature–is dead set against becoming a slave to her sexual cravings, Valia revels in hers. Valia sees what she wants and goes after it with no shame, no hesitation. Valia’s Villain is a little sexier and there’s more action in it too. Also Valia is nutty (she would say she’s totally awesome) which I think makes the story really fun, although still super sexy and dark in some scenes.

Fin’s Fantasy is kind of a mixture of Araya’s Addiction and Valia’s Villain. Fin is a nice guy-er-demon. His heroine, Navine, is kind of a bitch. Ha. But there are reasons for it and even though she gives Fin a super hard time, she makes up for it before the end.

What type of scenes do you enjoy writing the most?

This probably depends on what type of mood I’m in at the time. Sometimes I love writing sex scenes, sometimes I hate it. What I’ve noticed is that I really enjoy writing dialogue–especially during times of tension and during the “I must have you” scenes. Oh and there’s a drunken scene in Fin’s Fantasy that I loved writing the dialogue for. It still cracks me up when I go back and read it and I hope readers will get a kick out of it too.

Are you an outgoing person? Are you a morning or night person?

I definitely wouldn’t call myself outgoing but sometimes I can fake it. If there are cocktails involved, I can almost certainly fake it. (｡◕‿◕｡)

Soooo not a morning person but I wish I was. I think it would be great to wake up in the morning and be all “Woo hoo! Morning is here! Let’s start doing stuff!” But it just isn’t to be for me. Even though I’m out of bed and moving around in the morning, my brain doesn’t truly wake up until the afternoon. Sigh.

I get it totally. I’ve become more of a morning person since I had my son, who insists everyone wake up to embrace the world with the same amount of enthusiasm as him (I grrr with a smile).

What is next? Any new titles we should be looking for?

Well, I plan to write one more story in the Sempire Seductions series although I haven’t started on it yet. The ideas for the first three books came to me fairly easily but the fourth is not cooperating yet.

I have one story out on submission right now and I’m not going to jinx it by going into detail, but fingers crossed! Ohhhh, GOOD LUCK!

Thanks so much for having me here Mimi and thanks to everyone else for stopping by!

As always, it’s lots of fun having you.

Sempire Seductions, Book 2

Blurb

When Valia approaches the Ferox demon, hoping for scorching sex and a feed, she doesn’t expect to be handcuffed, transported to the demon realm, accused of dirty deeds she has no memory of committing and held captive for three days.  Even though she believes her captor to be crazy, she feels a connection to him she’s felt with no one else.

When Rydin senses the Sempire who locked him up, fed on him and used him as a sex slave many years ago, he knows his wait for revenge is finally over. Burning with the need to punish her, he imprisons her in the demon realm, where she is at his mercy, but as much as he tries to ignore it, a connection sparks between them every time they touch.

Sempire Seductions, Book 3

Blurb

Navine is suffering Incubus addiction–a death sentence for any Sempire. When the search for a cure turns up only one rumor, Navine is horrified to learn the mutant Fin might be her only chance to live. Fearing the taint of the mutant more than fearing death, she continues to push him away as she tries to deny how his touch inflames her desire.

Fin was captivated by Navine the first moment their gazes locked but when she realized what he was–a male Sempire, a mutant, an abomination to the species–she’d rejected him. Burning with the need to touch her, taste her, he’ll do almost anything to save her even though she belittles him at every turn.

With time running out, passion must overcome prejudice to save Navine’s life and to grant Fin’s fantasy.

We Love Our Demon Heroes: Discussion with Jocelyn Dex

Posted on by

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ve been looking forward to this post. You can also find it here, on Jocelyn Dex’s blog: Demons Do It Better, which is an appropriate name given our “panel” discussion today on demons. Jocelyn features demons in her book Araya’s Addiction and they play a big role in my Necromancer Books. To get us in the mood, here is the cover of Araya’s Addiction featuring a hunky demon 🙂Araya's Addiction, Demon Paranormal

So let’s get to the discussion and please join us by leaving a comment!

More and more books feature demons, all taking a slightly different approach, which is fun like where they come from, their powers and types. Can you speak a little to the demons in your stories?

Jocelyn: I created several different types of demons for my Sempire Seductions series, but the Sempires can teleport, are very strong, and without, um, semen, they will weaken and eventually die. (Hey, I write erotic romance. It works.) Most of them also carry over some sort of power from their fathers.

Mimi: I loved the semen factor in your book! I don’t know what that says about me, but it’s a unique approach. My demons come from another realm and have interfered, influenced the human realm going back to ancient Sumeria, if not further. They’re not demons from “Hell”, and have a very defined social structure. That’s about all I can say 🙂

Let’s talk demons vs other supernatural males, like vampires, werewolves, fae, etc.

Mimi: There’s something to me that’s very primal about demons. I love vampires, but vampires almost seem too polished, and they were also once human. Maybe it’s their age as well, making them somewhat jaded. Demons feel more dirty and sweaty to me, LOL. And when you unleash the demon, you let loose that primal force, like a hurricane, that you can’t control. It’s scary and frickin’ sexy at the same time.

Jocelyn: Ha. Dirty and sweaty. I agree with that. I like the grittiness of demons and I feel like there are no rules with them. I also dig vampires, but there are so many preconceived notions when it comes to them. Demons can be whatever you want without too many preconceived ideas of what they should be.

I’m not a big fan of shifters (werewolves, big cats, etc.), but every once in awhile I come across a story with shifters that catches my interest and turns out okay. I read a gargoyle romance a few months ago and really enjoyed that. It was something different and I’m definitely interested in reading more.

Are your demons good or bad or somewhere in between?

Mimi: I like my demons to play in the moral gray areas. While they are not evil, they may at times take actions that stretch those boundaries. My demons come from another dimension and their take on what’s right or wrong is shaped by an entirely different social structure.

Jocelyn: Some of my demons are good, some are bad, but that’s really a matter of perspective. Like Mimi said, the demons’ take on what’s right or wrong is shaped by the world they’re from so it may not jive with humans’ take on right and wrong.

Do they come from another world? How do they coexist in the human world?

Jocelyn: Most of the demons in my stories come from the demon realm and most want to live in the more pleasant human realm or in the veil between realms. Some want to make trouble but most want to live peacefully, undetected by humans.  

Mimi: I jumped the gun and talked about this in the first question. How do they coexist? That is an interesting question. Like Jocelyn said, some do blend in pretending to be human, and some want to cause trouble J

What about some favorite demon heroes from other books or shows?

Mimi: Greyson from Stacia Kane’s Megan Chase series. I also like Ryan from Diana Rowland’s Demon Summoner series, but I’m ready for her to unleash him already. I’m getting a little fatigued with reading about Kara sleeping with every other demon besides Ryan. Talking television, I really liked Cole from Charmed, but hate what they did to him. I wished they would have kept him around, but the actor went on to greener pastures.

Jocelyn: Oooh! Oooh! Me too! Cole from Charmed. Oh man, I loved his character and I was also pissed about what they did to him. I totally blamed Phoebe for his ultimate demise. Bitch. Haha. Anyway, in books, I love Larissa Ione’s Wraith. He’s a sexy badass demon with a smartass attitude. Love him.

Oh and I can’t forget Crowley from Supernatural.  He’s a bad demon but every once in a while does something surprisingly helpful and he has a certain charm. Maybe it’s the accent. 🙂

What are your plans for future demon characters?

Jocelyn: Oh, so many plans! Even though book 2 and 3 of my Sempire Seductions series are still in edits and not yet released, I’ve already started a new series featuring more demons. Different demons, and I love the characters, but I can’t say more than that just yet.

Mimi: Awesome! Can’t wait.

Any final thoughts on why you like demon heroes/heroines?

Mimi: I like that they’re not your typical heroes and are sometimes driven by primal forces beyond their control which makes exploring their vulnerabilities that much more interesting.

Jocelyn: They are the ultimate bad boys and bad girls. What’s not to like?
