Can a vampire assassin find true love?

I've been so busy lately that I forgot to share the details of my newest release, Wicked City. This is another book whose contract I chose not to renew and instead publish the book on my own.

Since its previous publication, Wicked City has been expanded by more than 2,000 words. It has also been thoroughly re-edited. Plus, I'm very excited about the new cover art. I designed this one myself along with a few others. Readers and friends on my Facebook page voted for their favorite cover for Wicked City and here it is.

This story was inspired by so many things, I'm not sure how to sum it all up. If there is one character who has more of my "voice" than the others in this, it would have to be Synn. He has my sense of humor and definitely my fashion sense. LOL

Wicked City is a combination of gothic fantasy, horror, and romance.

Here is the blurb and purchase details.

Lavinia accepted what she is a long time ago. She isn't squeamish when it comes to blood or her sexuality. After all, both blood and sex are necessary to sustain a succubus. She is a well-trained assassin. Working for her fellow vampire and occasional lover comes naturally for her. When she is sent out to kill someone, they die. It’s that simple. But what if her target means more to her than he should?

Synn thought he knew what he was getting into when he encountered the succubus that first night, but he may still be in over his head. She was sent to kill him, and still he wants her. One man has never been enough for Lavinia, however, the wizard Synn thinks he’s man enough for the job.

Warning: This book contains graphic violence, graphic language, and graphic sex, including multiple partners.

This book was previously published elsewhere. It has since been revised and expanded. During its previous release, Wicked City was a best seller on Fictionwise.

Here what a few reviewers have said. 

Regina, Coffee Time Romance

Whew! Wicked City is one very hot and sexy read! Ms. Kitts starts off with a bang and keeps going until you read the very last page. I loved it!

Reader Review from Barnes & Noble

I enjoyed everything about this story, from the relationships of the characters, to the awesome world of Wicked City. If you like Underworld, or erotic paranormal stories, or just a good romance, you will enjoy this. It's got so many elements in one. There is action, drama, a bit of horror, and a nice love story. 

Enjoy!

Can vampires dance like sugarplums?

Maybe so, because that's what's been in my head lately. LOL Sorry I haven't blogged for a few weeks. I've been having a lot of allergy problems and battling a sinus induced migraine. Blah.

But other than that, things have been going pretty well. I'm still working on Wicked City, though I haven't had the time to work on it as much as I'd like. I told a friend of mine the other day that when I finally finish this story it will be my masterpiece. At least ... until I write something else. LOL Seriously, I do think it is turning out to be a wonderful story. Wicked City is one of the darkest things I've ever written. It has strong Gothic overtones and even though it is graphically violent, it has some of the most passionate sex I have ever written.

Aside from working on my latest book, I've been reading the adventures of Vampire Hunter D (which I have loved since I was a child) and playing Tenchu Stealth Assassins. LOL Growing up is overrated.

I feel like crap

Great subject line, huh? LOL Seriously, this is the third night in a row that I haven't gotten any sleep. I think I've got food poisoning. Having had it before, I recognize the symptoms. It isn't severe enough to go to the hospital. It's just enough to piss me off and keep me from resting or getting much work done.

My biggest problems are stomach ache and nausea. That's not so bad. But after three days, it's Hell. The good news is that I've had time to come up with some interesting plot twists for my new story. Might as well since I couldn't sleep. The bad news is I've felt too crappy to write them into the book.

I've got bits and pieces on post-it notes, so they'll eventually make it there. So far I think that Wicked City is the best book I've ever written. I know, I know, I said that about the last three books I've written. But technically ... aren't I supposed to get better at this as I go?

I'm really getting into these characters. I wrote a scene a few nights ago that was just so intense. I immediately had to call my friend and read it to her. LOL I was thrilled when she agreed with me:) Trust me when I say that it wasn't to save my feelings. She's told me plenty of times when something was stupid and this was truly a great scene. There was just such ... emotion in so few words ... a lifetime of longing in just a touch. *sigh* It was beautiful. I'm very proud of myself:)

I don't mean that in an "I'm so awesome" sort of way. It's more like a "Holy crap you mean I wrote that?" sort of thing. LOL Know what I mean?

So, since I feel too bad to work on my book and it's after three o'clock in the morning, I'm reading stupid news headlines. I think that most news can fall into that category. Not that there aren't lots of important issues out there. They just aren't usually considered "news worthy," which is sad.

I just read something about an athlete who tested positive for using enhancement drugs. (No, not that kind you pervert.) Now the article headline said, "So-and-so has a problem with Roids." LOL My first thought was, "Why the hell is this guy's hemorrhoid problem major news?" hahahahaha Maybe it's because I'm such a prankster, but when someone says "Roids" I think hemorrhoids. *snicker* (Yes, I know they meant steroids. I'm not retarded, just sick and sleep depraved, um, I mean deprived.)

I've been up for a while so I also took an I.Q. test. I have taken many over the years, from standardized paper and pencil tests to online stuff just for fun. The highest I've ever scored is 162, the lowest (which didn't have as high a scale) was 134. On average I score 154. The test I took tonight told me that most people who got a similar score to mine were criminally insane. Yeah, just when I was starting to feel good about myself someone had to go and point out that I'm most likely crazy. Humph. Stupid test.

I think I'm gonna try to sleep again. I'm suddenly feeling less nauseous:) You've been a great audience. *takes a bow* Please remember to tip your waitress. (That doesn't mean tell her not to eat yellow snow.) Did I ever mention that I tell really bad jokes when I don't get enough sleep?LOL
