Shelley Cass – författare

The darkness in all of us fuels him. Yet it is his murderess who truly brings him to life.

''When she walked into the club his life changed forever. And for a little while, it even ended.

When she murdered him she expected him to stay that way.

She never expected for him to come back as the best partner she''d ever had - in many ways.''

Jackson Flint was born from the first dark deeds of human kind. He has led the darklings through the ages, living off the shadows that exist in all of us. 

Alley Cat, however, is a new breed all of her own. And it turns out, he''s falling for his murderess.

Sexy, mysterious, violent and deliciously dark. ''Darkling'' is a fantasy action-adventure set in the modern world.

Interview with the Author:

Q. What could readers compare ''Darkling'' to?

A. ''Indiana Jones'' ... but ''Indie'' is the fearless assassin-ess, Alley Cat, and the relics she is dealing with are very much alive, in stunning condition, and are just as interested in her too. This is a steamy erotic fantasy, but has quite the archeological action, adventure tone.

Q. What can readers look forward to seeing?

A. An incredibly strong female lead, explicit romance (this is for 18+ adults), a dark urban setting, ancient myth and fantasy alive and well in the modern day.

Q. What do you love most about this novel?

A. Alley Cat is SO suave - she knows what she wants, and goes for it. Whether it''s by jumping into the action, into a hot-hot-hot situation, or by taking down corrupt underworlders.

However, I especially loved writing Jackson Flint. He was born from the first dark deeds of humankind, and he doesn''t give a WUT about much. He is snarky, smooth, humourous, dangerous, has an awful lot of bisexual fun, and is a delicious anti-hero.

Q. What do you want your readers to know?

A. Historical, legendary and religious tales twist their way through this one - but take it with many grains of salt. It''s all in the name of good fun - saucy fiction and adventure.

Also ... hearing from you feeds my soul. Feel free to reach out.

Also also ... there''s a gift inside the novel, as a thank you to perfect readers. A taste tester of the LGBTQ+ ''Raze Warfare'' gang action series.

Also also also ... read, read my pretties! And enjoy.

Lili was designed to protect and obey. She''s really not meant to care that the Leaders are draining the world beyond repair. She''s meant to be numb.

But a Rogue rebellion, and a mysterious newcomer may just be making her feel a little rebellious herself.

In this novel, myths and legends resurface to reprise their roles and fulfil their dreams for the world. Because if they don''t, the stakes are everything.

​

''Soldier Lili has been having dreams about freedom. Her doctor says she''s glitching.

Mitch is a real star. He''s been making dreams come true since the dawn of time.

However now that it''s dreamer Lili''s turn, Mitch must deal with what a nightmare her futuristic, dystopian world has become. A world where dreams are dying ... even when you wish upon the best star going round.''

A soul cannot settle until its true purpose has been fulfilled. It will wander from one lifetime to the next, unless it is given aid. So if dreams are dying - what will happen to the star who grants them? And what will happen to the unfulfilled dreamers?

Interview with the Author:

Q. What could readers compare ''Awaken Dreamer'' to?

A. It''s almost like the ''Percy Jackson'' series - but in the distant future, with angels, mythological, historical and religious figures all trying to still fulfil their original, ultimate goals to pull the world back from disaster.

Q. What can readers look forward to seeing?

A. Incredibly strong female leads, clean romance, a realistically futuristic urban setting, Arthurian legends and Greek myths coming to life in a confusingly dystopian world...

Q. What do you love most about this novel?

A. I love fantasy, mythology and history, and to bring them together - bringing them to life in my characters for a joined purpose was so much fun.

I also like to see people overcoming the challenges of our world, whether political or environmental, and doing whatever they can to make their own big or small dreams come true for a life that''s really worth something.

Q. What do you want your readers to know?

A. Historical, legendary and religious tales twist their way through this one - but take it with many grains of salt. It''s all in the name of good fun - fiction and adventure.

Also ... hearing from you feeds my soul. Feel free to reach out.

"Razes, Razes fight the dark ... Razes, Razes, are the mark ..."

The Raze gang have taken on corruption. They have sheltered the weak. They have turned the snatcher world on its head. But now they must face the consequences.

Born to protect snatcher capitalism, The Hunt are coming for Raze. The Hunt are coming for his disciples. And The Hunt are coming for his boyfriend.

A gritty urban backdrop, gang warfare, a vigilante hero, a corrupt system, and a bisexual awakening. Join the action and enjoy the ride.



Interview with the Author:

Q. What could readers compare the ''Raze Warfare'' series to?

A. It has a similar tone to ''The Outsiders,'' with a gang like a family of very different people who need each other.

Q. What makes this series different?

A. Girls are kick ass members of the gang. Sexualities are open (there''s a bisexual triad romance - why choose?). There are diverse racial backgrounds. There''s some gender bending. The enemy is more covert, but widespread - a corrupt underground system. And the gang members enforce vigilante justice, while battling their own demons - ranging from trauma to learning difficulties.

Q. What do you love most about this series?

A. I love that Kiddo and Raze are so different - opposites attract. Their deepening, first time gay romance felt so intimate and sweet and real to write.I especially loved including so many diverse kinds of people without feeling the need to centre the story on their race/gender/sexuality/difficulites, because people are people. I loved having them there, as they are, rolling with the punches as people do - rather than the storyline centring on any stereotypes.

Q. What do you want your readers to know?

A. Hearing from you feeds my soul. Feel free to reach out. Read, read my pretties! And enjoy.
