Ignite Excerpt
Prologue
Kira watched as he languidly stood up, flexing his muscles as though he had just awakened from a long dream. He stretched his arms over his head and cracked the bones in his neck before finally settling his gaze on her. She hardly recognized him, the boy she had fallen in love with. Where minutes before there had been light and emotion in his eyes, there was only a black hole, a seemingly endless abyss. Kira had never seen him look at her that way, like less than food, like vermin, even since the first time they had met.
"Aren’t you going to run?" He asked with sinister humor coloring his words. The smirk on his face may as well have been a knife cutting through her heart. The darkness had always called him, but Kira had always thought that being with her would be enough to keep him from crossing over. She saw now that he had surrendered to his nature and for the first time she felt real fear when he looked at her.
Kira stepped backwards on shaky feet, trying to digest the question. She didn’t have an answer. How could she turn her back on him and run away? The man she loved was trying to kill her. There were no options. Could she forget it allall the nights they had shared kissing and swapping secretsand fight to kill? Or, would she run and admit that there was no hope that he would return to her?
Kira said his name and reached out her hand, searching one last time for the man she had lost.
"Yes, honey." The word hit her like a slap in the face as it rolled off of his tongue drenched in sarcasm.
Kira looked up at the sun, still hidden behind the shadow of the moon, and sprinted into the tree line behind her. She couldn’t give up on him now. But, when the eclipse was over, maybe she would finally find the strength to fight.

Interesting right!!!!
Now lets meet the author behind this series.
lets Welcome
Kaitlyn Davis!!!!!
 
Serious Interview
1.       How would you describe The Midnight Fire Series?
a.       A whirlwind paranormal adventure with heart-pumping action and heart-stopping romance!
2.       Which character you had most fun writing?
a.       Definitely Kira, my main character! I really wanted to create a strong, relatable female lead and I think I did that in Kira. She is thrown so many curveballs and her life is turned completely upside down, but she manages to keep it together and persevere. I love a girl who can kick some ass and doesn’t let the boys fight her battles!
3.       Which character was the most difficult to write?
a.       My two bad guys: Diana and I'll keep the other one secret for readers new to the series! They had to be evil, but not caricatures, and sometimes that can be a difficult balance to strike.
4.       What was your main source of inspiration for the story?
a.       The sun! I love the sun and I've always thought there was something mystical about it. Transforming its rays into an epic power was actually pretty easy to do!
5.       What was the book that most influenced your life — and why?
a.       Goodnight Moon is definitely one of them. I barely remember my life at five years old, let alone the books I read, but I do remember loving Goodnight Moon—and that is some pretty powerful stuff! Picture and board books I read as a child definitely fused a love of reading into my identity, and that had shaped the course of my life.
6.        If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your latest book?
a.       No! I am absolutely satisfied with how everything turned out… and hopefully my readers will think the same!
7.       Is there a message in your series that you want readers to grasp?
a.       Life is a journey and you have to make your own choices. Don't let other people decide your fate for you.
8.       How has your environment/upbringing colored your writing?
a.       I'm fortunate enough to have amazing parents who nurtured my love of reading by buying me tons of wonderful books. So when the time came to turn that love of reading into an obsession with writing, they supported me. And that has always meant the world to me.  
9.       When did you first know you wanted to be a writer?
a.       Ever since I was a little girl, I've been crafting stories—verbally and through the written word. But it wasn't until my senior year in high school, when I actually sat down and wrote my first novella, that I realized it was the career for me. Since then, every sliver of energy I could spare has been put towards turning that dream into a reality!
This or That
1.       Hot or cold
a.        Hot!
2.       Black or white
a.        Black (I'm thinking cookies here!)
3.       Burger or hot dog
a.        Burger (with fries…duh!)
4.       Cats or dogs
a.        DOGS! PUPPIES!!
5.       Raw or Emotional
a.        Emotional.
6.       Night or day
a.        Day (I'm not nearly as fun when the coffee wears off…)
7.       Simple or complicated
a.        Simple.
8.       Wii or Xbox
a.        Wii—Mario Party rules!
9.       Spiderman or Batman
a.        Neither-Superman!
10.    Light on or Light off
a.        Off
11.    X-treme or X-rated
a.        X-treme…
12.    Computer or Pen & paper
a.        Computer! I never leave home without it :)
 
Silly Me
1.       Why is it that when someone tells you that there's billions of stars in the universe,
you believe them. But if they tell you there's wet paint somewhere you have to touch it?
a.       Wet paint? Where?
2.       Why is it good to be a Daddy's girl, but bad to be a Momma's boy?
a.       Daddy's girls get jewelry… Momma's boys get tattoos :) But sometimes it's good to be a little bad!
3.       Is it true cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
a.       Yes! Everyone knows that clowns are demons sent from the underworld… they must taste awful!

So today for my stop I had the honor and opportunity  to interview Lukas, don´t know him yet? well look at the cover below, those are his abs!!!!!
 
I know right!!!!


Deep within the Yucatan jungle a demon has awakened...
 
Gretchen Finch's job would be much easier if she weren't alone in the jungle with a brilliant recluse whose every glance sets her on fire. But the more she focuses on her work, the closer she gets to unlocking the mysteries of a terrible creature - the Night Demon - that threatens the world as she knows it. Though her scientific mind tells her it's impossible, she's beginning to believe the ancient Mayan tales as the sinister jungle comes alive around her.
 
Lukas Smith has spent hundreds of years searching for answers to his immortal Night Walker nature. As a series of ancient glyphs become clear, he's about to find out more than he'd ever hoped, but the more he learns, the more his fate intertwines with the Night Demon, and the harder it becomes to hide his immortal secret from the beautiful, intelligent Gretchen.
 
Together, they must find a way to stop the inexplicable violence and mass destruction surging across the earth before the Night Demon destroys more than just mankind.

Interviewing
Lukas
Hi Lukas thank you for agreeing to this interview, I know you have a lot of work right now, I promise this won’t take long.
1.       You are researching Mayan Glyphs in Yucatan, with a sexy redhead linguist how is that working for you? - *rubs his lips together and almost smiles* She is a distraction, and a challenge, but I’m trying to keep her safe.
 
2.       Is it difficult to keep your true self from her, working so close together? – Yes *nods slowly* But you humans are quick to make excuses for behavior rather than face the fact that the world might be larger than you ever realized. Gretchen sees what she wants to see and ignores the rest. For now, my secret is safe.
 
3.       What is the quality you most like in a woman? – Intelligence and passion. 
 
4.       Does Gretchen have that/those qualities?  - Gretchen has an abundance of both. *corner of his mouth quirks up* She is everything I thought I would want in a partner. *smile fades* Sadly I can never be the man she deserves.
 
5.       This research is becoming more and more dangerous, what are your thoughts about Gretchen being in danger? – I am doing all I can to force her back to the United States. If anything happened to her…  *shakes his head and stares at his hands*
 
6.       What is your greatest fear? - *staring at his fingers* That I would be forced to spend the rest of eternity with Gretchen’s blood on my hands.
 
7.       If you weren’t a Night Walker would you pursue a relationship with Gretchen? - *glances up at Karla, holding her gaze* In a heartbeat.
 
8.       Do you consider yourself a friend or a foe of humankind? *shrugs* I’m not sure I am either of those.  I am definitely not a friend, but I also am not against the mortals either. I think I’m in the gray area in between.
 
9.       What´s your relationship with your maker and why? – I used to hate him for stealing the sun and giving me this inhuman thirst. I know he was trying to save my life and my conversion was accidental, but it is a mistake that can never be rectified. *crossed his arms* Over the years I’ve come to grips with my situation. I don’t blame him, but I also haven’t seen him in over two hundred years.
 
10.   Was Smith the best last name you could came up with after 300 years of living?... really? - *laughs* Since Night Demon came out, a few people have asked me this question. The truth is I chose Smith because it’s a name that doesn’t stand out like Stanislov and I could keep my initials the same LS. Call me a creature of habit…
Thank you for this interview Lukas it was truly a pleasure to meet you, I hope you and Gretchen find whatever it is you are looking for.
*shakes Karla’s hand* Thank you for the good wishes. Our author, Lisa Kessler, has promised me we will…

About the Author
 

 

I've been dreaming up stories since I was in elementary school. My first book was titled "The Wonders of Unicorn Creek" and my publisher was Dehesa elementary school.

Since then, I've published numerous short stories in anthologies and magazines. My story, "Immortal Beloved" was a finalist for a Bram Stoker award and was recently re-released in the "Dead Souls" anthology, along with a follow-up never-before-published story, "Subito Piano".

My debut novel, Night Walker, was released in 2012 and won a San Diego Book Award for Best Published Fantasy-SciFi-Horror. Night Walker also won the Romance Through the Ages in the Best Paranormal and Best First Book categories.

Since then, Night Thief and Night Demon have been released. The final book, Night Child will be released in March of 2014.

In the meantime,I have a new series beginning in July 2013 with Moonlight, Book 1 in the Moon Series.

I also post news and short stories on my Blog, so feel free to stop by for a read. http://Lisa-Kessler.com

Paranormal tales are my favorite and I tend toward the dark side. Join me? :)
