Demons, Romance, and Humor with Sapphire Phelan

9 Views

 I’m Sapphire Phelan and I am excited to be stopping at Coffee Time Romance today on my blog tour here for my new erotic paranormal romance short, Ain’t Nothin’ Like Succubus Lovin’. Once again, I write a paranormal with demons in it. Lately, it seems that the demons are demanding that I write them in my romances. 

What is different about this paranormal over my others from Phaze Books and other publishers, especially my last urban fantasy with demons, Being Familiar With a Witch is the humor in it. Now, in the past, I thought I could not write humor. Then something like this book comes along to prove me wrong. I did do a couple of short stories under my other writing name, Pamela K. Kinney, that were humorous, proving me wrong. But with romance, eroticism, the paranormal, and humor all rolled up in one story?

AintNothinLikeSuccubusLovin-lg

Humor is not easy to write. Not well done stuff anyway. Look at all those romantic comedy films and the romance novels with humorous overtones. Some are good, but then there are those that fall flat of the punch line. I hope my new story doesn’t fall flat on its face and that the readers enjoy it. After all, the storyline just smacks of having to be humorous. When a man is desperate enough that he doesn’t think he wants a meaningful relationship with any woman (after all he just got out of a bad marriage) and borrows a friend’s A Dummy’s Guides to Demon Summoning so that he can call up a succubus for a night of sex, it smacks of comedy. But when he gets more than a one-night stand and falls in love with the demon that is when the romance steps in. He wasn’t looking for love, but he found it anyway.

What is your favorite romantic comedy, either film or romance book? Do you think humor works well with romance? Do you think it can work well with demons mixed in the romance?

You can find Ain’t Nothin’ Like Succubus Lovin’ at :Phaze Books: http://www.kingcart.com/Phaze/product=Aint+Nothin+Like+Succubus+Lovin/exact_match=exact and right here at Coffee Time: http://www.coffeetimeromance.com/BookStore/index.php?main_page=pubs_product_book_info&cPath=62&products_id=2823

Ain’t Nothin’ Like Succubus Lovin’ Blurb:
Finding a date was never more hellish. When Jordan Hudson borrowed his friend’s A Dummy’s Guide to Demon Summoning and called up a succubus, he found that dating and making love to a minion of Hell proves to be more than a one night stand.

What’s Next?
I just turned in the second novella in the Beast Magic series (which is in Shifting Desires anthology that you can find here at Coffee Time at http://www.coffeetimeromance.com/BookStore/index.php?main_page=pubs_product_book_info&cPath=62&products_id=1826. This time it will be male/male and has wereleopards. You met one of the heroes in Beast Magic: Montsho. So it will be interracial also and in first person. The last one the series will be back to male/female, with werewolves. And the hero for that was introduced in the second novella. Plus I will be starting to work on the sequel to Being Familiar With a Witch.

    I like to thank Coffee Time Romance for letting me do a guest blog here today.
    I have been writing erotic romance since 2005 when my first story was published in an ezine. But I have been writing longer than that under my other name. I actually got published at age 17 with three poems in a print magazine, Hyacinths and Biscuits. 🙂

  • Cate Masters

    What a fun premise! Sounds like a fantastic read.
    Best of luck with it.

    I would have to say Spaceballs. You a guy that doen’t he is prince and a princess that is marry a different prince because her dad told her to .There is a bad ruler as in Star Wars. It is funny from beginning till the end.

    Hi,

    Well, i’m very curious about this book. Actually, about all the books! 😉

    Greetings,

    Annemiek.

  • Sapphire Phelan

    Spaceballs is hilarious, Patricia. 😆

    Thanks, Cate. And greetings back, Annemiek.

  • vjay

    Love my demons with sex and humor. Looking forward to reading this one.

  • Brandy Blake

    I would have to say 50 First Dates…. I love that movie, and I know that most people wouldn’t call this a “romance” but the Underworld movies w/vamp and the wolf hybred, lol :mrgreen:

  • Sapphire Phelan

    Thanks, vjay. And Brandy, I love the Underworld movies too. Owned all three on Blu Ray.

  • michelle

    You just defined my perfect recipe for a great read….romance, eroticism, the paranormal, and humor (snarky, of course!) in just the right balance. That’s the tricky part 😉

    I’d love to try your succubus story…it sounds fun 🙂

So either check back here if you didn’t leave your email for me to contact you, or I will contact you if the winner did leave their email. I will also post here in the comments. 😀

    Best wishes on your “Ain’t Nothin’ Like Succubus Lovin'” blog book tour!!!

  • Nara Malone

    I think my favorite romantic comedy was Sohpie Kinsella’s “The Undomestic Goddess.”

    I love your idea and I’m intrigued too. Good luck with your new book and the tour.

Designing the Perfect Romance Cast Register by April 29th and save $5, use code ROMANCECASTKNIGHT2024 at checkout! In this brand-new month-long online class, New York Times bestselling author Angela Knight discusses the importance of creating the perfect cast for the kind of romance you’re trying to write.

A memorable romance cast is more than the sum of its parts. To create an effective book, all the characters – protagonists, antagonists, and minor characters – must work together as a unit. And each must fit the kind of book you’re trying to write. Leatherface of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre does not belong in a Rom Com. Nor do you want minor characters to steal the book.

But how do you create a good cast for this particular book and the audience you’re aiming for?

Angela discusses how to design your heroic couple for each other, along with the minor characters and sidekicks who help make the protagonists three-dimensional.

She’ll also talk antagonists and their henchmen, and how to use them to create tension and excitement.

Next, she’ll explore dialogue, humor and arguments as a way to develop character and conflict.

The result will be a firm foundation for your book so you won’t be flailing in the dark, trying to figure out why the heck your book isn’t working.

Lessons in this month-long online class will be posted on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, students may email scenes to Angela for her private critique and suggestions.

Rocket: My life pretty much took a hard left a year ago when I first met Lemon. She’s wise beyond her years and as abrasive and sarcastic as they come. The second she busts my VP’s balls -- literally -- I know I’d never be able to forget her. A year later I’m still infatuated with the vicious woman. When she runs off to charge hell with a water pistol, I’m right behind her wondering how we’re gonna get out of this one alive. But I have a smile on my face and a determination to give this woman anything she wants. Even if it means some things in my club are going to have to change.

Lemon: Look. This is supposed to be all about how Rocket caught my eye and I decided I wanted him but there were obstacles and… phfffffff… Forget all that. What you need to know is when people are stupid, they need a kick in the… Crap. I’m not supposed to swear here. Grrrrr! Anyway, this is where I come in. Grim Road needs fixing. I’m not exactly qualified to do club… garbage, but Rocket? Yeah. I might have decided I’ll keep him, so… I’m great at whipping people into shape. Grim Road, meet Lemon. See me, love me, MF’ers.

Rocket: Just pass me the beer and popcorn…

Lemon: I’m settling in at Grim Road in my role as vice president. The men test me, but it’s all in good fun. I think I enjoy it as much as they do. Then, out of nowhere, things go horribly sideways. I realize how much weaker I am physically than everyone else in the club. That weakness can be a horrible liability. Yeah. Things are going great. Until they aren’t. I may have bitten off more than I can chew…

Rocket: My little sourpuss is a force to be reckoned with. She takes everything dished out to her and gives it back in spades. She’s my VP, but she’s also my old lady. Sometimes, I need to take care of her. More importantly, she has to let me. That fact is never more apparent than when a small team of roughnecks think she’s a woman from another club.

Watch for Knox....he`s coming

Shield of Fire - Out Now!
Book 4 : The Relic Hunter Series
code DISCOUNT20 (as written) to get 20% the price!
A new relic hunt. A new evil…

Resident Relic Hunter for Deva’s Fae Council is a title Bethany Aodhán never wanted, but it isn’t like she has a choice. And in truth, the appointment might just aid her quest to find her mother’s murderers—because at least one of those responsible is a member of the council, and getting access to their records could give her the connection and their identity.

But before she can be given her first task or even start her behind-the-scenes hunt, a building belonging to Cynwrig Lùtair—the highborn dark elf who is not only her council liaison but lover—is set alight, and they barely escape with their lives.

I`ve got a secret and I haven`t told a I`m pregnant to my deadbeat ex-husband and thousands of dollars in debt.

So when the chance comes up to become an escort with Monstrous Deals, I jump at it. After all, it sounds like my dream job. I wear pretty lingerie, I flirt and serve drinks and the perks are I can play with a whole herd of unicorns if I want to? Sign me up!

I`m in my ho era, OK. Gotta have fun while I can.

Only one of the herd won`t stop watching me. Stirling is big and strong and hung like a horse! During the party he makes my pleasure the main attraction and I`m absolutely swooning.

But when he tells me I`m his bond mate and he wants me to join his herd, I run a mile. I`m not looking for anything serious. Not again. Besides, there`s no way he`ll stick around when he learns my secret.

Kissed by the Alien is the second book of the Holiday Heartmates series by Julie K. Cohen.

Lexi is amazing! She’s strong, brave, resourceful, fearless, stubborn and feisty. And she has such a kind and compassionate heart. Even more, I loved her courage, determination and confidence to do the things she does and to face any challenges and hardships thrown her way. Lexi is a wonderful woman and I loved her so, so much!

And Lutan is such an incredible male! He’s brooding, quiet, fearsome and not very fond of Earth. And he’s also honorable, kind and fiercely protective. But the Zyanthan warrior also carries so much guilt and pain inside his heart. Nevertheless, Lutan is amazing and I adored everything about him!

I absolutely loved everything that happened between Lexi and Lutan! While on a mission to track down illegal blasters that keep finding their way on Earth, Lutan captures a male who turns out to be no man at all. I loved those two together! I loved their instantaneous attraction and their chemistry was fantastic. Even more, their banters, bargaining and teasing were so much fun to read. Lexi and Lutan might seem to be on opposite sides of the law, but they fit so well together. I loved how protective Lutan was of Lexi and I adored Lexi for standing her ground and never backing down from challenges and danger. And, yet, both had so many things they needed to deal with. Lutan also really did his best to stay away from Lexi, but fate cannot be denied. And when they couldn’t resist the undeniable need for one another anymore, the passionate moments they shared were so hot! I just love the Zyanthan warriors and all their… extras! Lexi and Lutan were so perfect for each other and, after everything both went through, they deserved to find happiness and love together!

Overall, Kissed by the Alien is another fantastic addition to the series! It’s filled with suspense, danger, action, drama, angst, twists, betrayals, humor, scorching hot passion and magnificent characters.
