Things you should know about me

Hello, all! I'm Ella Drake and I'm a paranormal/scifi/fantasy/just-plain-weird Romance junkie. I'm new to the Paranormal Romantics. Well, quite some time ago (2009, can you believe it?) I had a guest blog, but this is the first post as a regular contributor. You're stuck with me monthly from now on. Aren't you lucky?

So other than liking unusual and SFF Romance, and writing it, here are a few things you might want to know about me (or might not. But if you don't, just pretend.)

I love Riddick. Give me a bad boy anti-hero romance and I'm there. Oh, and Loki. Can I help it if I root for him to reform while watching Thor or The Avengers?

Desert Blade by Ella Drake
Post-Apocalyptic Romance
from Carina Press
Dragons. They're sure to snag my attention. Dragon shifter romance? I'm there before you can say Smaug (Yes, secretly in my secretest girl heart, I want a Smaug romance. Ever since reading The Hobbit. I was just too young to know it at the time).

Alphas and Betas. Now I love an Alpha as much as the next gal, and I can get into every gruff, dominating, possessive inch of a hero like that, but I love betas, too. Especially if said beta is working his way to saving the day and maybe, just maybe, being that swoon-worthy alpha. Hmm. Maybe I just like men. Moving on...

Geeks. With glasses. Fast on the keyboard with nice fast hands. Yeah. Okay. I just like men.

Weres rule, vamps drool. I fell in love with Vampire Hunter D before I'd even heard of Christine Feehan's Dark Prince. But Clay from Kelley Armstrong's Bitten has them all beat. Give me a were, any day.

I drink a hella lot of tea.

I like food, walking, sunsets on the beach...

And... I'm sure there's more. But I'll probably digress and start to embarrass myself soon. But since I'm the newbie I guess I'll try to bribe you into liking me. Erm. I meant, do a giveaway! Say hello and I'll pick a random winner for a copy of my new release Desert Blade, a post apocalyptic romance with an alpha hero and a strong heroine learning to live and love in a crumbled America.

Winner chosen 8am EST on Friday the 11th.

I like all sorts of heroes especially alphas but betas can be just as good too! A dragon shifter romance would be interesting. I'm curious to see what the dragon hero would be like.

Riddick is hot. Tortured, brooding...yep. This REALLY makes me like you though: "Weres rule, vamps drool" I love shifters. LOVE. THEM.

Maybe this is not a surprise, but I'm a Riddick fan as well. :)

I heard that there was supposed to be another movie out next year. But since I haven't heard anything since, I thought it was just rumors. Nice!

Congratulations on your book!
