Rita Herron | THE DEMONBORN: DARK HUNGER


Myths and legends and the paranormal world


When I first conceived of the idea for the Demonborn series and Dark Hunger, I knew I wanted to write about strong men, demons, crime fighters and the battle between good and evil.

Next, I needed to build my paranormal world and make it different from all the other paranormals out there. What could make mine unique -- fresh?

The answer to that for me was to write about a world that intrigued me, a setting that I felt at home with, but one that naturally lended itself to a dark, eerie atmosphere that enhanced my story lines. I also thought having the paranormal creatures appear in the normal world was even more terrifying than to have a completely fantasy world. What if demons actually existed on Earth?

Born a Southerner, spooky stories about ghosts, local legends, cemeteries, and odd things that go bump in the night filled my childhood. Since my series is a dark, gritty romantic suspense filled with evil demons and murder, my setting had to reflect that same creepy feeling.

Rita Herron | Good or Bad

Do you believe that people are born either good or bad? That your genes determine whether or not you have a temper, are violent, or lose control?

That’s only one of the premises I explore in my Demonborn series.

Vincent Valtrez, the hero of book one, INSATIABLE DESIRE, has only faint memories of his traumatic past. Memories which disturb him because he feels a darkness in his soul.

Memories and a killer that bring him back to his hometown.

A hometown full of secrets and evil. A hometown he swore he’d never return to.

A hometown plagued by danger and the girl he left behind.

Vincent had no idea what is in store for him. Or that his destiny is calling.

Only that his need for sex and darkness have begun to call his name again.

But giving in to the dark side could be his downfall and cause him to lose his soul once and for all.

Do you have a dark side?

If so, can you resist the call?
