Author Spotlight: Margie Church

A few words from Dale Eldon

Here is a lady that I have been friends with for a little while now. Not only is she a sweetheart, but one heck of a writer. While she writes erotica, she taps into what makes the characters real. Margie is fearless when it comes to writing in different sub categories of erotica/romance.

Love Bites

An accidental encounter turns into high stakes love when Jui Fabrice meets Wade Kairos in Germany. She has no idea he’s a vampire and Wade has every intention of keeping his secret.

A vineyard cottage is the perfect place for Jui and Wade to make love until he discovers her unique link to his living years. He vows to stay away from her forever, but he can’t let her go completely. Wade’s repressed human feelings continue rising. He invades Jui’s dreams and communicates telepathically with her at will. Evil jealousy consumes him when Jui becomes involved with Rob Hawthorne and she rebukes Wade for his controlling behaviors. Then Wade’s lifelong companion dies in a vamp war and his desolation is too much to handle alone. He turns to the only person who cares about him—Jui— and during one hot night, he becomes the man she wants.

The Ancient One, Ladislav Husek, learns of Wade’s risky human behavior and gives Wade a taste of how viciously he’ll die if he doesn’t bury his tracks with Jui. Husek promises to turn Jui into his personal playmate and Wade has to choose. Can love prevail over evil in a relationship that never was supposed to happen?

Love Bites II: Dangerous Love

Wade Kairos faces deadly consequences for defying the leader of the vampire nation. Ladislav Husek partners with Master Prophet Dirk, to prove Wade can run but he can't hide. And neither can Jui Fabrice, the woman Wade loves. Every bit of his ingenuity is needed to protect her from being turned into a vampire or a prophet.

If that's not enough trouble for him, another vampire from Wade's past comes forward and makes it abundantly clear that what used to be hers is still up for grabs.

Someone will pay with their life in Dangerous Love.

The Interview:

When did you first want to write for a living?

In college. I have a degree in news writing and editing. It's pretty shocking how little of that education I actually ever used. I've done so many things as a writer and now an author over the years that have nothing to do with radio and television. I don't know if I'll ever be able to quit my EDJ as a copywriter/editor and live off of book royalties. That's probably a goal most authors have and I'm not one to say whether it's a realistic expectation or not. Everyone has dreams and who am I to predict whether they'll come true?


What made you decide on a scary theme for your love story?

Dale, you know I'm not a purist. I write what inspires me. Four years ago, I wrote my first novel, which is a thriller, and that was followed by a sequel. About two years ago, I had an idea for a vampire series. I wanted these stories to be dark, dangerous, delicious. The idea of women fawning over these creatures, begging to be turned made me shake my head. No way. So, I created a romance between a vampire and a human woman with the twist that she didn't know he's a vampire. A relationship between them also is forbidden. In Love Bites and Dangerous Love, my vampire, Wade, pays a huge price for loving Jui. He doesn't care. He'll do anything for her to keep her from being turned into a vamp. But let me add that when Jui finds out what he really is, it's not all hearts and flowers.


How long have you been writing?

Most of my life. Literally. I was first published when I was 12. I don't get carded at the bar any more unless I beg. If I couldn't write, that would be the cruelest punishment. I'd never agree to it, and I don't know if I could ever accept it if it became a reality.


What kind of inspirations do you have?

A bubble floating past the window could inspire something. A photo of a castle in Germany inspired Love Bites – the symbol of the castle watching over the city and hearing all its secrets became the vampire. It takes shockingly little sometimes. Nature has a powerful effect on me, especially the night – a starlit sky, a full moon playing tag with clouds, sparking snow under a street lamp. Crickets, bird songs. My readers inspire me to improve my craft and deliver each story better than the last.


Favorite authors/or books?

My favorite genre is police crime and forensic thrillers. I wish I had enough background to write a really good one. My debut series have some great thriller elements in them and they were such fun to write. The Love Bites series are much stronger thrillers.


What can we expect to see from you in the near future?

I'm writing a gay romance called Krewe Daddy. I hope to have it done in early 2012 and I'm also writing a BDSM piece titled RAZOR. Told ya I write what inspires me. :-)
