What initially inspired you to write Claiming My Valentine?

The first step in organizing this anthology was contacting the authors! My first email went out to the amazing P.T. Macias. She was in charge of a boxed set I participated in just last year and did an outstanding job! Together we came up with the parameters of the stories we were looking for and then we contacted these fabulous authors and asked if they wanted to be a part of this project. It has been one heck of a positive experience for me and I hope for all of us!

What was the hardest part of writing this book?

The most difficult part of being in an anthology for me is probably working within the guidelines of the set. It is difficult to curb the creative process to stay inside the lines, if you know what I mean. And of course, getting everything formatted and uploaded on time is always a challenge! Thank goodness for this amazing group of authors! They truly made this an incredible experience.

What was your favorite chapter (or part) to write and why?

The story that I wrote for this anthology is called The Dragon’s Valentine by C.D. Gorri. The part I like the best is that I am able ot stay within the Grazi Kelly Universe that I write in all of my other books and series, but here I get to introduce a new supernatural creature to my world, Dragons!

The Falk brothers are sexy, single dragons looking for their mates! In this story the eldest, Callius Falk finds his true mate in Werewolf, Winifred Castillo. But will she accept him?


What are your future project(s)?

Chasing The Moon: A Grazi Kelly Short #4.5 by C.D. Gorri is available for pre-order right now and will be released 3/17/17.

Here is the Synopsis:
On the mend after the battle of St. Lucy’s Day Grazi is on the run. The Hounds of God have been disbanded, the High Council wants her captured, and the Dark Witches want her dead. Grazi finds herself far away from her family and everything she has ever known. What will she do when a group of Werewolves in Northern Florida need her help? Can she focus on the things she can control or is it too much for her to handle?

Now for an exciting excerpt from C.D. Gorri's contribution
to Claiming My Valentine The Dragon's Valentine

“…..Callius’ golden Dragon eyes landed on each of his brothers. He opened his long snout full of rows of razor sharp teeth and loosed a roar of blue and red flame against the whited-out sky.

He would miss them. They were his flesh, his blood, and his constant companions these five-hundred years. But he understood.

Agreed. Take care, my brothers. As head of our family this is my pledge to you, I will find a castle and I will find a mate! Then I will send for you.

Choose wisely, brother. The diamond rose is special.

Farewell and much luck to you on your quest!

Yes! May you be successful!

Callius and his brothers parted ways. It was a bittersweet parting, but the idea that one day they would be a Clan of their own kept Callius on a steady course. His purpose grew stronger with every passing moment.

Soon an idea of Castle Falk began taking shape in his mind’s eye. Not an old stone mausoleum like the one he came from. No, he wanted something new and modern. With a pool! Ha! That would be something!

But first things first, he reminded himself.

Find a mate and claim her.
