And now to Apparition!!

Jared had spent the rest of the night thinking about his encounter. The party broke up around one thirty in the morning and Jared considered walking back through the park. He wanted to go back to the spot where she disappeared to see if she would be there once again. But one am in the morning in Central park, common sense eventually ruled out his curiosity. He definitely did not want to become a mugging victim or the city’s newest unknown murder. Then they both would be in the same boat, dead in the park.
Now Jared sat behind his desk at the shelter, the dawn of a new day. He watched as his friend Max wiped the tears from his eyes after Jared recounted exactly what he had seen.
“You finished?” Jared asked as Max’s laughter faded into a sigh.
“For now unless you are ready to tell me you saw the Easter bunny in the park as well.” Max’s voice was filled with mirth.
Maxwell Moore, Max for short. Anyone one else who called him otherwise would get a fist in the mouth. He and Jared had been friends since childhood and even then anyone who dared called the big man Maxwell was in for a beating. When Jared had came to him with the idea of opening the shelters and asked him for help. Max agreed without a second thought. He lived on the other side of the tracks. Unlike Jared Max had to learn the streets to survive from one day to the next. Now as he sat across from his long time friend, he thought Jared was finally cracking up.
“I’m serious Max, I saw the girl. She needs help and I have to help her.” Jared replied.
“What could she possible need help for Jared? Now if you saw her which I am skeptical to believe. She seems pretty much out of existence.” Max concluded.
“Maybe she needs help to find her killer.” Jared shot the theory out into the room and Max raised his eyebrow at his friend.
Jared sighed. “Listen Max you know I am a rational man and I don’t believe in a lot of stuff. "But this I did see. Now I need for you to get on that computer you are always on and find me a missing person’s report matching her.”
“Fine, but how am I supposed to find her between all the people that go missing in this city every year?” Max asked. “For all we know she has been in the park for years. If I believe you saw a ghost. I’m leaning towards heat stroke induced by wearing a tux and walking.”
“Her dress is one of these new styled things with the halter top.” Jared replied.
“You need a date bad buddy if you are sizing up a ghost.” Max laughed.
“Max.” Jared said in a warning tone. “Just get me some pictures to look at on the computer and we’ll go from there.”
“Gotcha.” Max said. He started to click away on the laptop on the desk. “Oh by the way those kids you sent in are downstairs.”
“Good they came in.” Jared said approvingly. He was afraid they would not have gone to the shelter. “They settle in ok?”
“Yeah, the boy is pretty protective of his sister. I got Claudia to talk with her. She is thinking rape or molestation. But she is going to take it slow with her.” Max explained. “Here I got some missing person’s files from the database going back tow years. If your ghost is not in there, then we’ll go back further.”
“Great thanks.” Jared turned the computer to him enthusiastically. Hoping the face of his ghost was on the first page. “And make sure you keep an eye on the girl and her bother. They might need a little more help than some of the others.”
“I will, but I am not leaving this office until I prove your crazy.” Max said he leaned back in the chair to put his foot up on the desk.
“You won’t have to wait long buddy because there she is.” Jared stated it smugly. He turned the computer to face Max and tapped the screen. "Here on the third page. That’s the girl I saw.”
“You’re kidding! Max was amazed that he actually found the face. “Her name is Josephine Coulter. She has been missing for a year and a half. Twenty-two and last seen in Central Park. Well pinch my tits.”
Jared laughed. “I would but you are not my type.”
“What are you going to do now Jared? and you wish you could have me buddy..all the girls love my chest."
“First I’m going back to the park tonight and see if she appears again. If she does, I’ll know I’m not crazy and work from there.” Jared told Max his plan.
“Need me to go with?” Max asked.
“Nope, but thanks.” Jared replied. He knew this was his little private mission for now.
He was on pins and needles all day and in the evening. Jared wanted to get back to the park and concentrating on anything else was a very hard thing to do. By eight o’ clock that night he was stepping out of his apartment and crossing the street into Central Park. Dressed in a pair of jeans and blue t-shirt, the weather felt ten times better than the night before in a tux. Jared walked quickly to the spot where he had last saw his ghost. When had he started to refer to her as his he thought to himself? He stood in the exact spot and looked around. The air seem still in this area and it was eerily quiet.
“Hey, um are you here?” Jared felt a little stupid talking to no one. Especially when two runners passed and looked him as if he was a banana short of a bunch.
“Come on,” he coaxed. “I won’t hurt you, just show yourself please. I’m here to help.” Jared was about to give up when a breeze passed him and whipped up the leaves on the ground. He turned and there she stood, no shoes and the same said eyes.
“Find me, help me please.” She said her voice like a whisper.
“I have, at least I think I have.” He led out a hand to her. “Are you Josephine, is that you name?”
She looked at him for a moment and then it seemed as if she was thinking. Her face brightened and to Jared it was as if the sun had came out on the darkened path.
This time instead of stepping away the ghost pleading for help stepped forward. “Yes, yes! I think I am Josephine! That is my name! Can you help me?’
Jared smiled, a smile that was both relief and happiness. “Josephine I’ll do my damn best to help you.”
Josephine smiled a radiant smile. “Help me to remember?”
“I will, I definitely will.” Jared replied. His hand was still reaching out to her and she put her hand in his. Even though there was no flesh and bone to touch Jared still felt the connection. The quest to find Josephine had begun.

Want more come back next week Luvvies!

Interview with the *Siren Of Seduction* Sabrina Luna

Dahlia: Tell us how long you have been writing Sabrina?

Sabrina: I’ve been writing since 1997, but it wasn’t until 2006 that things started to happen for me…good things! I can’t wait to see what 2007 has in store either!


Dahlia: Tell us about Crimson Ambrosia?

Sabrina:I’m so excited that CRIMSON AMBROSIA has been getting some good reviews! It’s about a male vampire who fondly recalls his male lover, a handsome gypsy lad one evening while drinking a bottle of his special wine…crimson ambrosia. The tale is about their night of dangerous passion. I really love this story! Honestly, I believe it’s one of my personal favorite writings, so far.


Dahlia:I love the title of your book Crimson Heart. What was the inspiration behind it and tell us about the plot

Sabrina: CRIMSON HEART takes place in the same vampire world that I created for CRIMSON AMBROSIA. There is a common thread, which I’d like to write more about in the near future. However, both of these stories are complete tales themselves.

CRIMSON HEART is about a young, aristocratic Russian woman and her vampire lover. It’s a bittersweet, but erotic little love story. That’s why I call it ‘dark’. If you want to know more, you’ll have to read my tale!


Dahlia: What else is coming from Sabrina Luna in 2007?

Sabrina: I have two spicy erotic romances coming at Mardi Gras Publishing. VELVET SEDUCTION and HOT PURSUIT are both contemporary stories that take place in the small Southern town of Mount Hill. Both stories were such fun for me to write and I hope readers will enjoy them too!

At Aphrodite’s Apples Press, I have two short stories and one novella slated for 2007. The first short story is ENCHANTED CHAMBER and will be in the PANTHEON anthology. It’s a magickal little erotic romance story set in 1936 Egypt. The second story is PLAYTOY FOR THE GODS and is a M/M BDSM Fantasy. It will be in one of their upcoming MASCQUERADE anthologies, which have been very successful this past year. And, finally, the novella is CHARADE. It’s a D/s Erotica Fantasy of a young woman exploring the world of domination and submission with a devilishly handsome man, who assists with her sexual ‘awakening’.


Dahlia: Where can reader go to find about more about you?

SabrinaI have a homepage, several blogs, a MySpace profile and an online newsletter.

Dahlia: If a fan wanted to send you an email. Where could they reach you?

Sabrina: I can be reached thru my MySpace profile or thebellaluna@yahoo.com


Dahlia: What is your inspiration for writing? Do you just wake up in the morning with an idea and let it flow from there?

Sabrina:I’ve always been an avid reader—a bookworm for sure, so writing or telling my own stories has always appealed to me. Some times the inspiration for a story comes really quick and I write the story from there. Other times, it’s more planned and thought out. I’m a Gemini, so I go from one method to the other in the blink of an eye. LOL! But, always, there is a method to my madness…the end result which is a good story.

Dahlia: Do you have any chats or appearances scheduled? If so tell us where we will be seeing you?

Sabrina: Next year’s looking fairly busy! Every Monday morning, I post in my blogs my weekly chat schedule. If you wanna keep up with me, that’s the best place to look. Heck, I even have to look there myself ‘cause I don’t know if I’m coming or going lately! LOL!

I’m also making plans to attend two conventions in 2007. The first one is EPICon March 8-11th in Virginia Beach VA and the other one is Dragon*Con on Labor Day weekend in Atlanta GA. Details for both will be posted soon in my blogs and on my website.

Dahlia: If some movie producer ever wanted to turn your book into a movie. Who could you see playing the roles of your characters in Hollywood in Crimson Ambrosia?

Sabrina:In CRIMSON AMBROSIA, I’d cast Antonio Banderas as Silas Elmagus, the vampire and Orlando Bloom as Ivan, the young gypsy. Honestly, I’ve had Antonio in mind for many years, since I wrote this tale a while back. However, Orlando would make an awesome Ivan, I think.

Dahlia: Before you go, is there anything you would like readers to know?

Sabrina: I’m also a member of the Romance Writers of America and my local chapter, the Carolina Romance Writers. I take my writing craft seriously and I’m working everyday to improve my storytelling abilities. I believe the old saying is true and I try to learn something new each day. Hopefully, one day, it will pay off.


That was my interview of the siren of seduction Sabrina Luna. This petite sensual fairy will wrap you in a cocoon with her words and send you to a realm where vampires roam.

Look for up and coming new writer Missy Lyons author of *Naughty or Nice* in my cyber interview seat next week. Till then..
