Please welcome back Bradford buddy and the author of one of the first erotic romances I ever read (The Maiden and the Monster) Michelle Pillow. I recommend Michelle’s books wholeheartedly. She’s here today to tell us about Divinity Warrior: Lilith Enraptured. She’s giving away an e-book of Lilith Enraptured on Wednesday evening to one lucky commenter on her feature!
About Divinity Warriors:
In one of the many universes parallel to ours, Divinity Corporation has discovered the secret to moving between the planes. This has given them the power to do pretty much whatever they want without consequence or regulation. Whether it’s to ship unwilling brides in trade for minerals rights, to control everything from entertainment circuits to governments to academia, or simply gain that which every greedy corporation wants–Power.
About Lilith Enraptured:
Sorin of Firewall lives in a land forever at war. In fact, the Starian men are so busy fighting, their marriage ceremony has been reduced to a “will of the gods” event where they simply pick a woman out of a lineup and claim her as a wife. With women becoming scarce, it’s necessary to trade the offworld Divinity Corporation for brides. Duty-bound to attend the ceremony, he has no intention of picking a bride, let alone one from another dimension. That is, until he sees Lilith, the bewitching woman sent by the gods to reward—or punish?—him.
Lilith, a data analyst for Divinity, is betrayed by the Corporation and wakes up in a primitive, uncharted dimension filled with warriors who only know war and duty. But her initial fears of becoming a sex slave to a big beefy knight become all too real when a warrior of god-like proportions claims she’s his new woman. As Lilith discovers, there are worse fates than being the focus of Sorin’s skillful and earthy seduction.

Michelle’s Interview
BK: Thank you for joining us, Michelle!
MP: Thank you for having me!
BK: What is sure to distract you from sitting down and working/writing?
MP: A great movie. I love movies. They’re a perfect escape, especially after a day of staring at a computer screen. Though, I will admit that the word “great” for me might not be what everyone else has in mind. LOL I adore “B” movies and low budget pictures. I also love horror films (zombies are a fave right now), golden age Hollywood, epic tales, historically set films and well, I’ll try just about anything.
BK: And they’re a great source of writerly inspiration, too. What are you working on presently? What about upcoming releases?
MP: Currently, I’m finishing up the fourth book in the Divinity Warrior series. The series is a lot of fun because it’s based in parallel universes and offers infinite possibilities for world building. Though this is the last planned Divinity Warrior book, there have been talks of writing other Divinity books on other dimensional planes.
My releases for this year are:
Pleasure Island (ebook), Jan 2009, Ellora’s Cave
Realm Immortal: King of the Unblessed (ebook), March 6, 2009, Samhain Publishing
Realm Immortal: Faery Queen (ebook), March 6, 2009, Samhain Publishing
Realm Immortal: Stone Queen (ebook), March 6, 2009, Samhain Publishing
Divinity Warrior: Lilith Enchanted (ebook), March 25, 2009, Ellora’s Cave
Divinity Warrior: Fighting Lady Jayne (ebook), May 27, 2009, Ellora’s Cave
Divinity Warrior: Keeping Paige (ebook), TBD, Ellora’s Cave
Faire Justice (ebook), April 2009, NCP
Prisoners of Love (print), Sept 2009, Pocket Books
BK: Hmmm…busy much, Michelle? *grin*
What’s the best compliment you ever got on your writing or a book?
MP: As authors, we tend to spend a lot of time alone in front of a computer screen, wondering what in the world we’re doing it for. I think anytime a readers emails to tell me how much they enjoyed a book is a great compliment. The fact that they liked it enough to take the time to tell me always makes my day and renews my enthusiasm for what I’m working on.
BK: If you could time travel to any time or place—the past or future—where and when would you go to, and why?
MP: Since I love to study history, this is too hard. Can I just have a free pass to wander around time at will? Maybe I’d just start in the Roman era and work my way forward like a time tourist. I’d also like personal security in case history gets a little “too real”, a camera and a journal. As an author, I’d be in ideas forever.
BK: Spoken like a true author. Thanks so much for being here with us today, Michelle.

by Beverly G April 21st, 2009 at 6:32 pmLilith Enraptured sounds wonderful. Of course, I already have a couple of books by you (1-4 Dragon Lords) so I might be just a teeny bit biased! Congrats on last months release as well as next months upcoming release. You are one busy lady!
by Lynda April 21st, 2009 at 6:39 pmHi Michelle!
Wonderful to see you here at Beth’s blog, great interview!
I have “King of the Unblessed and am so looking forward to the read.
“Lilith Enraptured” sounds equally as good and I would love to read it too!
Thank you so much!
by Lea April 21st, 2009 at 6:43 pmBest Regards
Thanks for having me, Beth!
by Michelle M Pillow April 21st, 2009 at 6:52 pmThank you Amy and Beverly!
Hi Lynda — The Dragon Lords were so much fun. If you like those, you might like the Lords of the Var (the series that comes after the Dragon Lords). Email me if you want more details.
Lea — Hope you enjoy Unblessed. That series was a lot of fun to write. I love the bigger world building and larger cast of characters in that one.
Beth, as always, you’re awesome!! Thank you so much for having me again.

by Michelle M Pillow April 21st, 2009 at 6:58 pmHi Michelle! I love your answer to the time travel question. It would be wonderful to have a free pass to wander through history. There are so many fascinating periods and civilizations to explore that a free pass is almost necessary.
by Karin April 21st, 2009 at 7:00 pmHi Michelle! “Lilith Enraptured” sounds really good. I had read a couple of your other books and enjoyed them so I am sure I will enjoy this one too.
by Becky Ward April 21st, 2009 at 7:02 pmIt’s very much my pleasure, Michelle!
Sorry, a link was mixed up, but I think it’s corrected now.

Hi Michelle,
I just finished King of the Unblessed, and thought it was really unique, intricate, and well done.
I have been eyeing Lillith Enraptured, so I hope I win this one!
by Tracy April 21st, 2009 at 7:53 pmWow, Michelle, what a great list of books we have to look forward to this year from you! I have a few of your books and have always enjoyed them. Seems I need to get started on the Divinity Warriors, though!
by Sandy M April 21st, 2009 at 7:55 pmHi Michelle!
I agree, what a wonderful list of books to look forward to!!
I love the cover of Lillith Enraptured!!
by Blanche April 21st, 2009 at 8:05 pmThat’s such a hawt cover! Just once, I would love to be on the set of the photo shoots for covers like that. *drool*
by Ashley Madden April 21st, 2009 at 8:13 pmMichelle, sorry, I was distracted a bit by an image prompted by your desire to visit many different times–a vision of you wandering merrily through time carrying a “hall pass” of sorts… Anyway, I’ve only read some of your contemporary stories–I’ll have to give your others a try!
by Fedora April 21st, 2009 at 9:59 pmLilith Enraptured Sound Great!!!! I’m so into movies myself, when I’m not on the computer.

by Cherry April 22nd, 2009 at 4:48 amThe Realm Immortal are a fav. I had to re-buy them I’ve read them so many times.
Hi Michelle,
by booklover1335 April 22nd, 2009 at 5:54 amBook sounds really great! I also thought it was interesting that you chose to name your heroine Lilith (is she reward or curse?) will be going on my TBR list.
I have several of Michelle’s books and everyone is the “Best”!! Really she is so talented.
Thanks for sharing with us Michelle

by Debbie Tsikuris April 22nd, 2009 at 8:10 amKarin – I agree! I think the problem would be getting me to come back home to my time, lol. That, and you’d see historical pictures with me in the background giving thumbs up, lol.
Becky & Ann Marie & Tracy & Sandy- Hi! Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed my work. It’s always great to hear. :)
Blanche – Syneca did a great job on the cover!
Ashley – If you ever go to the Romance Conferences, like RT, you’ll be able to see them out in the wild. lol
Fedora – LOL I want a “time pass”! Perfect! Yeah, I’m afraid it would be taken away the first day.
by Michelle M Pillow April 22nd, 2009 at 8:39 amHi Michelle,

by Lisa F. April 22nd, 2009 at 2:21 pmJust the cover alone makes it worth getting
by catslady April 22nd, 2009 at 3:02 pmMichelle, you are a new author to me but I have seen your name in several places now. I love the sound of your Lilith Enraptured.
That’s a heck of a position for Lilith to be in when her corporation betrays her. But I have a feeling she is going to love Sorin and her fate at his hands…
Sandie
