🍄💚 Green, mean, & monstrous! Could YOU love a troll? 💚🍄

Whether you love Middle-Earth, Dungeons & Dragons, or World of Warcraft, we’ve all seen those alpha-looking, totally stacked creatures of fantasy that we wish would play rough with us… An orc? A troll? How about a goblin? Where do you draw the line? Or… do you follow the iridescent trail of neon green cum-shrooms through the forest? Read on for a quick blurb and a sexy excerpt from TERRIBLE DESIRES, book 8 of my Loving Monsters series, published by Evernight Publishing!

BLURB:
It’s All Hallows’ Eve and Brianna Rookwood has had enough of the typical and obnoxious commercial festivities of the season. She yearns for peace and some quality alone time to simply enjoy a good novel! Treating herself, she books a cabin in the Red Pine Forest.
But Brianna’s night-in doesn’t go quite as planned. Wandering from Cabin 13 to explore the great outdoors, she becomes lost in a nightmare, losing time, and her way. Something truly terrible dwells in the forest, and it’s been waiting centuries for its mate…

EXCERPT:
“Why am I wet?” I shine the light down on my feet, only to discover my shoes missing and my socks are hanging on by threads. What remains of my jeans are sodden up to my knees, and they’re covered unmistakably in mud stains. Continuing to take stock of my physical condition, I realize I’m also missing my beanie and scarf. How could I have lost them? How could any of this have happened without my noticing? I feel like I’m losing my mind.

“I don’t understand,” I mutter to myself. Turning in slow circles, I try my best not to hyperventilate, but it’s an exercise in futility. This is too weird. It’s almost like I’ve been running from something. I’m scratched up, wet, covered in dirt, and missing clothes, not to mention I’ve lost time. Literal hours’ worth! I desperately want to put it down to my phone glitching out on me, but one look at the impermeable darkness tells me many hours have indeed passed, and I’ve simply somehow failed to notice.

Wracking my mind, I wander a few steps toward a dead log and sink to my ass, utterly perplexed and increasingly frightened. Is this how Alice felt when she fell down the rabbit hole? A sudden, intrusive thought twinging in the back of my mind has me hesitantly reaching up to brush at my mouth. When I pull my fingers away there are illuminated crumbs there, or fragments of something I don’t recognize. But how is that possible? I didn’t bring any food with me. I certainly don’t remember eating anything at all. My eyes prick with hot tears of frustration.

Then as I play with the strange, soft crumbs, rolling and squashing them between my fingers, I realize it’s not the light from my phone that’s making them glow … they’re actually glowing on their own! They’re freaking bioluminescent! I didn’t … no, I couldn’t have. Horror overwhelms me and my stomach lurches for the second time in as many minutes. Fuck. I’ve eaten some kind of poisoned mushroom…

Something catches my eye in the distant shadows, and I squint, turning off my flashlight to focus better in the darkness. There, not several feet away from me is a toadstool—a green, glowing mushroom. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s bioluminescence is eerily beautiful and strangely alluring. Tilting my head like an inquisitive cat, I rise to my poor, bare feet, and approach the odd specimen. Squatting down, I pluck it from the loamy earth and bring it closer to my face. It smells like a strange and impossible mixture of damp moss and … my nose scrunches up and my lips turn down. Cum?

I shake my head at the absurdity of it. What an insane notion! Of all things. How can my mind be in the gutter at a time like this? Tossing away the toadstool, I wipe my mouth again and force myself to be sick, sticking my fingers down my throat in the hope of getting some of the bizarre fungus out of my system. As I purge my stomach and litter the ground with glowing bile and grotesque chunks, I recognize my mistake. Another surge of nausea slams into me, dumping me like a wave during a storm.

Wiping my hands on what’s left of my clothes, I stagger backward and reach out for the nearest tree, breathing hard against its cold bark as I wait for the terrible feeling to pass. It’s like a bad trip, I tell myself. I just have to ride it out, stay safe, find the path, and get back to the cabin. It sounds easier than it is. The heady, drugged-out sensation in my mind remains, lingering in force—haunting me like a ghost—long after the worst of it has subsided.

My logic floats around in my consciousness like an intangible anchor, something to grasp onto, but frustratingly just out of reach. I slap myself in the face in a desperate attempt to sober myself up. “Come on, Bri! Snap the fuck out of it. There’s like five hours until the sun rises. You’re going to be okay.” With an unsteady but determined resolve, an idea occurs to me. Perhaps I can follow the mushrooms? If, by some chance, I followed them deep into the forest, then it’s likely I can follow the trail back to where I first saw them, presumably somewhere just off the well-beaten trail.

“Yep. That’s what we’re doing,” I say aloud. “We’re finding the trail.” Just put one foot in front of the other. And so that’s what I do. Scanning the darkness with my eyes, I look for the glowing green pinpoints of light in the undergrowth, and slowly I make my way from one to another, following the horrid little bastards in the hope they’ll lead me back.

EXCERPT:

I’m not ready to die! I cry out in my mind—to God, the universe, my foremothers, or All Hallows’ spirits; I can’t be sure. Everything that has previously existed in my life has narrowed down to one imperative goal: survive. Heart set on home, I push myself until my lungs are burning and a pain flares in my side, stealing the breath from me. I gasp out in pain, my hand finding the confluence of my hip. A fucking stitch! You’ve got to be kidding me. Not. Now!

But in the next second, the stitch is the least of my problems. Something catches my boot, and suddenly I’m airborne. A scream rips from my throat as I fly for what seems like forever. I hit the sodden ground hard and shriek as pain radiates through me from my chest. My ankle feels like it’s at entirely the wrong angle.

“Fuck!” I sob, drawing myself up onto my knees. Reaching out for something, anything, with which to support myself, I find a large crooked stick. Gritting my teeth, I mutter a string of profanities under my breath as I clutch it with both hands, pulling myself up by sheer force of will. A low growl rumbles behind me, and I forget how to breathe. This is it. This is where I make my stand. This is where I die—in the woods on Halloween. Fucking perfect. A ridiculously nervous, bordering on maniacal laugh escapes me as I turn to face the wolf.

“All right, bitch,” I say, raising the stick like a baseball bat. “Let’s do this. If I’m going to die, you’re going to be chewing on my fat ass with one mother fucker of a headache!”

The wolf growls again, baring its fangs in a vicious snarl of warning.

“Come on!” I goad. “What are you waiting for?”

The wolf lowers its head, pawing at the earth as it gets ready to launch.

No. Fuck you! And then, committing my weight to the swing, I lash out first, bringing the stick around in a wide arc. I catch the side of the wolf’s face, and it seems as though the moment plays out in slow motion. I see the wolf’s flesh ripple with the impact of my blow, and its nose scrunch as the force knocks its head to the side—causing it to stumble and yelp.

“Come on! Is that all you’ve got? Where are your friends?” I shout, trying to ignore the searing pain in my ankle. I gingerly put weight on it, struggling to keep my balance. The wolf growls again, and its pack stalks from the darkness. “All right, now this is a party!” I scream at them, gripping the stick tight. If I’m going down, I’m going down swinging!

The wolves’ golden eyes glimmer in the moonlight like jewels. They’re such beautiful beasts. If only they weren’t trying to eat me… A brisk breeze ruffles my hair, and the air behind me chills so suddenly, and unexpectedly, that it feels like some cruel trickster has snuck up on me and tipped a bucket of ice-water down my spine. I freeze in place as the wolves whine. One after the other, they back-step, their glittering eyes focused somewhere behind me. Then the wolves flee as one, turning on their heels, deciding that I’m not worth standing up to whomever—or whatever—lurks at my back, bringing the chill of the grave with it.

Trembling, I will myself to turn and face my unexpected savior. Or is it damnation? Agonizingly slowly I find the courage to pivot around. Eyes on the ground, my gaze travels up a weathered black trench coat which whispers eerily in the mist as if it’s alive, like sentient, breathing shadows. I swallow the bile that creeps up my throat, daring to look higher still.

An imposing figure reveals broad shoulders, and upon those intimidating shoulders sits a pumpkin—a jack-O-lantern to be exact. With the most menacing, soul-sapping, sharp-toothed grin, and angled, hollowed-out eyes that burn not with the innocent flames of tea-light candles, but with the fucking fires of Hell. I open my mouth to scream, but no sound escapes. Not even a squeak. My lips move, but my lungs fail me.

The jack-O-lantern opens its coat with long, green, provocatively clawed fingers to reveal an equally moss-green body; the body of a man, but not. My unblinking gaze trails down solid pecs to find a ridiculously ripped set of abs … and then… Sweet mother of God! This abomination is packing the biggest, thickest cock I’ve ever seen. It must be twelve inches! And it’s green, too!

I can’t do anything but stare, immobile as the monster steps closer, its blazing eyes dancing with a terrifying intelligence. I gasp as a leafy vine creeps out from under his trench coat, trailing over the moist earth. Its delicate tendrils twist around my ankle, wrapping it up like a bandage of green gauze; then they tighten, and a cry bursts out of me at the sharp but fleeting pain that follows. I watch with rapt fascination as the vines uncoil, releasing my leg, only to disappear back beneath the jack-O-lantern’s coat of darkness.

I instinctively twitch my ankle, then gasp, glancing up at the towering monster before testing my weight on it. “It doesn’t hurt,” I whisper in awe. “You fixed it?”

The jack-O-lantern tilts its pumpkin head the way a curious cat might, as if it wants to communicate.

“Thank you,” I stammer, raising my voice above a whisper. “You saved me from those wolves, and now you’ve re-set my foot.” I lick my lips nervously when no conversation is forthcoming. “Can you speak?”

The monster shakes its head slowly from side to side, never taking its burning eyes from me. It watches me for a time. Then another tendril snakes out, writhing toward me to seize my wrist, tightening just enough to hurt. It tugs, drawing me nearer and nearer. I stumble forward, eyes wide, my heart in my throat as the living pumpkin vines pull my gloved hand toward its monstrous, green, dark-veined cock.

I’m not going to sugar coat this newsletter, dear readers, despite the ridiculously bouncy and absurd song reference I’ve used for a title… All authors, everywhere, are experiencing an enormous downturn in income. As in, we’re surviving off of 1/4 of our usual earnings. It’s diabolical and almost all of us are freaking the fuck out. We’re promoting our work on socials, in our newsletters, collaborating with others authors, some of us are even desperately paying for ads and promotions to reach new readers… but it all seems to be failing. We’re at a loss and I for one don’t know what to do.

Life is chaotic and hard right now, I fully understand and live that reality, too, but if you have an entertainment allowance, or a Kindle Unlimited subscription, please consider checking out some of mine and my friends books. We’re struggling and if things don’t improve, I predict we’re going to lose a lot of the authors we know and love because we just can’t afford to keeping going. So, please, consider this our cry for help. We’re battling to keep our heads above water—throw us a life preserver! You have no idea just how much your purchase or page reads will mean to us… Thank you.
