About the author:
Marisa is also entertaining the idea of writing a historical romance based on a photo-shoot she did in 2012 and since she loves to read thrillers, she plans to try to see where she can go with tackling writing a thriller.
What inspired you to write your book?
I read a really bad erotica series and thought I could perhaps do better. I quickly learned that writing erotica is not as easy as it may seem. Since writing my first novel, my readers inspire me to keep writing.
Here is a short sample from the book:
“Sing to me.” she says softly.
Without hesitation or even a hint of nervousness, Ian begins to sing to her. A song she has never heard before. She immediately gets chills all over her entire body; to her pinky toes. His voice is echoing off the canyon and filling the night air with a beautiful melody. At this moment, Grace knows she really, really likes this boy. He looks at her as he sings the last verse of the song. He just stares at her; she is smiling at him with her eyes.
“Ian, I, I’m speechless,” she shakes her head, “Your voice is like an angel.”
He flips his long auburn hair over his shoulder then wraps his arms around his knees and rests his chin on them. Grace is swooning over him and he finds it amusing.
“I’ve never heard that song before.” she says as she looks at him adoringly.
“Well I hope not! I wrote it.” he says with a chuckle.
In this moment, he just became even more amazing to her. Not only does he have one of the most beautiful male voices she has ever heard, but also the lyrics to the song were heartfelt and beautiful. Ian Taylor was not a boy who should be judged by his cover. He was so much deeper than the long hair, leather jacket, jewelry, and ripped pants he wore. There was so much more to this boy that the other kids at school had no idea of; nor would they even care about.
“Gracie.” he says interrupting her thoughts.
“Yes, Ian?” she says in a husky voice.
“It’s ten o’clock. I better be getting you home.”

A Masquerade in Time (The Fae Souls Book 1) by Cailee Francis
A New F/F Fantasy Romance from the author of Cynthia and Eve. Book 1 of 'The Fae Souls'.
When I first arrived at the mansion, I couldn't remember anything. My name, how I'd got there or who the people were around me. I knew I was a woman, and the pink dress and brown ankle boots I wore felt vaguely familiar, but nothing more.
It wasn't long before I was told my name was Celina. I was given a suite to stay in and encouraged to prepare for the mysterious Prince Eldran's masquerade party. I found everything I needed in my suite, other than the answers I sought.
Fragments of memory hinted at dark experiences, at love and loss, but there was no context and I was uncertain about my history and what the future might hold for me.
A stranger at the time, Sorcha found me alone as I sought solace in an empty room. I discovered she too had missing memories, and in her I found a person to talk to. A friend and more, but did we have a chance?
A Masquerade in Time is a romantic novella of just over 20,000 words, which contains strong steamy content and language.
