Vamps with Bite

Today, I’m reintroducing you to four regularly appearing vampires in the Midnight Whispers series. They’re back in Midnight Wildes.  

What Cesar Wants

The first time you met Cesar in Midnight Loyalties, he acted the “driver/security guard” for Anthony. By Midnight Bites, he’s running the financial empire Anthony left. In Midnight Wildes, he’s expanding the business, ready to take a bite out of Vegas. 

Meet Isabella

One of the Eldests of vampires (No need to name her here) sent Isabella to Austin to help Cesar. He didn’t want her help, but “Never argue with an Eldests” is his motto. She makes like a flighty dame, but don’t let her coyness fool you. She’ll rip your heart out if she doesn’t make you fall in love with her first.

Ramon: Man of mystery? 

I met Ramon in the short story, “Tommy’s Problem.” Those events happened between the end of Midnight Bites and the beginning of Midnight Wildes. He surprised me with both his laid back style (just like his idol, Frank Sinatra), and his silence. When he speaks, he’s saying something.

Please don’t ask him why he cut his hair. He’s still a bit touchy about it.

Peace,

Meet the Eugenes

Werewolves have been flocking to Las Vegas for about five years, seeking an open community where they can contribute, earn a decent wage, and raise their families in peace. Las Vegas sounded like the ideal place until they got there.

Today, I’m introducing you to two werewolves: Eugene and Phineas, otherwise known as the Eugenes. Werewolves in the Wildes always give their children the same first name. Of course, these twins weren’t born in the Wildes. 

Eugene: Eugene arrived in Austin during the events of Midnight Bites. Ask her why she moved to Austin and she’ll loudly proclaim, “It wasn’t my fault.” The Witch who controls Vegas kicked her out, but that’s another story. She thought the invitation to accompany Cesar and CC to their business meeting with the Witch was a good idea. In Midnight Wildes, someone spells her into the Wildes. If that wasn’t bad enough, she’s stuck as a mutt and her brilliant tattoos are gone. She’s pissed, but when she discovers the fate of the werewolves in the Wildes, she’s angry, and you don’t want to mess with an angry Eugene (either of them).

Phineas: Eugene’s twin brother is everything Eugene’s not, always calm, always in charge, and a serious chick magnet. The two are inseparable. Phineas didn’t appear until the end of Midnight Bites when he showed up just in time to help save his sister from rushing in to be the hero – again. In Midnight Wildes, Phineas discovers someone attacked his sister and no one can find her. Now, it’s his turn to rush in blind and need rescuing. Did I mention he’s hot!.

Peace,

P.S. Did I mention Phineas is hot! Wish I could find a picture of him.

Happy New Year!

Everywhere I go, there are decorations brightening and cheering, blinding and baiting. But what can I say? I decorated my house for the holidays, too. (Never too much thing as a little bling.)

However; by the time you read this, my decorations are mostly in the box. No point keeping decorations out longer than necessary. I know: A huge point of discussion between myself and friends who keep theirs up well into January. We each do what we do.

Well, if you’re like me this week, you’re somewhere between running ragged, checking in with friends and family between work, shopping, cleaning, and everything else. Keep smiling. When the holiday season is over, we’ll look back and be glad we took the time to visit and chat.

Don’t forget to breathe! Our mental and physical health depends on it, especially this time of year.

See you again in 2025,

Peace,

L.K. Latham

P.S. Wow! Where did the time go?

Time to Meet the Gang

My long Thanksgiving weekend project: Complete a puzzle. So much fun! What do you think?

My Thanksgiving weekend project.

And yes, this is a box with a secret drawer.

It looked like a simple project when I opened the box. And it was easy when I started. It was so easy; I got on a roll. “I’ll be done in no time,” I said. And then Bam!  

I can laugh now, but all those tiny pieces looked more and more alike the longer I worked on it. I had to walk away from the puzzle more times than I can count, come back, swear a little, and find where I messed up. When I didn’t, I called on the keen eyes of the spouse. He’d scratch his beard, study what I did, study the directions, say, “hum,” and stare some more before he shouted, “Got it!”

It was always one wee piece turned around or placed on the wrong side of the dragon. In the end, it all came together. I think it looks fabulous and had a good time working on it.

As I proudly placed my new puzzle box on the shelf, it occurred to me how putting this puzzle together is just like the ever longer and longer final edit of Midnight Wildes. It, too, is full of little pieces that must be placed in just the right spot. It’s once again with the editor: Fingers crossed, all the pieces are where they need to be. 

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been introducing you to some characters involved in Midnight Wildes through scenes cut from the final draft. Now, I want to focus on those characters you may already know. The characters I’ll share with you are regulars in the Midnight Whispers series. I hope you enjoy.

Peace,

L.K. Latham

P.S. Hope the holiday season isn’t driving you nuts? Nothing like a little magic, a little sword play, or a little monster stomping to keep our spirits bright.
