Today we have the lovely Honor James visiting us.
My name is Honor James though I also write under the name April Zyon. I’m married, to my best friend so that worked out well. I have two children, both teenagers now. I love them dearly but they could, at times, they could very well try the patience of a Saint. But I suppose it goes with the territory, after all, I was once a teenager too… Wow, scary flashback there.
I love to write, just about anything and everything. When I first started to write I thought I knew just who I was, turned out I didn’t have a clue. These last two years as a published author have taught me so much and shown me that I still have so much more to learn about who I am as an author and who I want to be as a writer. It’s been a truly amazing journey and it’s all thanks to my publishers, who have opened my eyes, and to my fans who have been there to support me and cheer me on each and every step of the way.
Without any of you, publishers and fans/readers alike, I would not be the woman or the writer I am today. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for coming along for this ride with me. Here’s hoping we have another stellar year and you are all there with me as we get to celebrate another one.

The Veil
Blurb:
Violet King has only had two
major goals in her life, keep from being killed from those who want her throne,
and avoid her mates at all costs. The first is easily achievable, the second is
heartbreaking and will leave her to forever walk the Realms alone. There is a problem,
though. If she never meets her mates than an entire Race will die out.
Given a task by their new king
to bring a friend to the throne home, Viper and Ladon never expected to find
their mate at the same time. With trouble coming for her there is only one
option, do whatever is necessary to get her beyond the Veil to safety. What
comes after will forever alter everyone, and everything—forever.
A prophecy speaking of death is
now in play, turmoil between Earth and the Realms has reached an all-new level,
and time is beginning to run out for them all.
Excerpts
STORY EXCERPT
September 30, 2035
There was a movement, the slightest
flutter of a curtain which told the secrets held within. There was life, there
was movement, and that meant that there was a chance that there was a person or
persons inside of the home who might be able to shed some light on the mystery.
When the curtain fell back into
place, however, there was no dawning knowledge, there was no blinding accuracy
in simply knowing. Instead there was silence.
Frustration was the name of the
game at this moment, and it was not something that she enjoyed. At all.
Frustration was a bitter pill to swallow and one that more often than not got
stuck in the craw of one’s throat.
Rubbing the back of her neck,
Violet turned away from the conundrum that was before her. She leaned back in
the seat she took outside of a cafe and sipped at the cocoa that she had been
given and tried to think of what was going on.
Pulling out her old ratty notebook
she fished out a pen from the bottom of her backpack and wrote her notes into
the old-fashioned notebook.
While there was a presence
inside of the home, there wasn’t a response when the bell was rung, nor was
there when a delivery arrived via courier. Suspiciously there was another
person who arrived to let the delivery in, however from where the party came
from I don’t know.
Vi chewed her pen cap and then
tapped it to her lip before she continued.
The being inside of the home is
not a human. I can tell that much from the sidewalk. I’m not certain just
exactly what the race is for this being, however I have to be honest here–the
feeling is malevolent and the malcontent that is all but pouring out of the
home is nearly blinding.
She had to shiver. She didn’t like
it at all. There was something more about this job than just trying to figure
out exactly who or what was inside of the home, she didn’t like that.
I keep finding myself
questioning this assignment. I keep finding myself wanting to walk away from
it, and if not for the plea from the woman on the other side of this equation I
would have walked away by now. If a major change doesn’t occur within the next
two days I am walking away. I have found nothing as of yet and can’t shake the
feeling that I’m being set up for some reason. I just wish that I knew what it
was that I was being set up about.
I think that it’s time that the
discussion is had with the bosses. I’m ready to turn in my notice and walk away
from it all. I think that the ones that hunt me are starting to get close again
and that’s why this assignment feels off. I think that it’s time to disappear
again.
Words she quickly scribbled out and
then pulled the page out to tear into small pieces so that she could dump them
into her coffee cup to toss away. Violet sighed and closed her eyes. God, she
was not in a good place right now. Not with this assignment and with anything.
Quickly Violet shoved her pink and
blue hair back behind her ears. The short hair in the back, long in front, a
far cry different from what she was born with. The only thing Violet couldn’t
change was her eyes. Eyes that denoted exactly who she was, the status and
hierarchy that she held. If she wanted it. But she knew that to take the
position that she was born to take would mean her death.
Fabulous.
Not.
I believe that this being that
I’m chasing, this Luhpyne that is supposed to be harming children and women, is
not an actual person, but a set of persons. I don’t truly believe that the
being in the home is a human, but I don’t get the feeling that they are Luhpyne
either. I truly believe that whatever, whoever is inside of that home is evil
and therefore it’s time to turn this case over to the AEDA. I just hope that I
can turn this into them without whoever I talk to realizing just what, and
worse, who I am.
She hesitated and bit her lower
lip. Yeah. That would not be good. She had come to Earth far before the Veil
fell. She had hidden when yet another attempt on her life was thwarted. An
attempt that had cost the life of one of her oldest and dearest friends. A
Draygon.
It was when that happened that
Violet went to the only being she could trust, Drakos. King of the Draygons, he
realized just who and what she was and realized that she held a secret. One
that she kept close. No, Drakos was an honorable and good man and helped her to
disappear onto Earth. A land that the Races viewed with disdain from afar.
Violet, however, lost herself on
Earth. She had flitted from city to city and watched the humans as they
learned, as they grew, and as they finally began to make advances into
technology.
“Shit,” Violet grumbled and shoved
all of her stuff back into her backpack.
She knew that it was time to turn
her files over to the AEDA and disappear. She hadn’t talked to Drakos since he
helped her to hide the first time but now that the Veil had fallen, perhaps she
should reach out to him again. Maybe it was time to lose herself in one of the
Realms since someone had obviously found her here on Earth.
ADULT EXCERPT
“Fuck.” She all but moaned that
singular word when the new angle of her body opened her fully for both of their
rather large hands to tease and worship her skin. “That feels so damn good.” It
had been far, far too long since she allowed herself to feel anything like
this, and even then it felt nothing like this was feeling, because no one had
been her mate until now.
Ladon rubbed his fingers over her
pussy, between her folds and through the moisture there. Sliding his fingers
back, he spread her juices to her anus. Over and over he did the same, each
time he rubbed more to her ass, pressing in a little each time until he
breached her with a finger. “Gods, you’re so fucking tight,” he growled out
next to her ear.
“More,” was all that Violet could
say in reply. She was tight because she had never, ever allowed anyone to touch
her there. None had ever felt right but she knew that these men were right.
They were hers and she was theirs, for now and for the rest of time. She
belonged to them as they did to her. “Again,” she begged him. “More, I want
everything with the two of you. I finally want to feel whole.”
The sensations were amazing, the
feeling of these men touching her as they did. It was perfect, and their hands
seemed to move in perfect harmony. Violet finally looked up at Viper and her
breath caught in the back of her throat. This was what she needed. Him. Them.
Everything. “God yes,” she moaned. “Perfect.” She whimpered. “Please, kiss me?”
She requested of Viper. She needed more, needed that connection and was
desperate to forge it with them.
Dipping his chin, he brushed his
lips to hers slowly. He nipped at her lip right when Ladon pressed his finger
in deeper, slowly stretching her. Viper captured her moan with a deep kiss
while Ladon began to slowly stroke his finger in and out of her ass.
Violet shivered and jerked, her
body was moving in desperation and need. When she parted from Viper her eyes
were glowing, the need was there just as it was on her Draygon. “Please.” She
whispered that singular word for him and Ladon alone. She would never beg
another being, only these two men.
“Hold on,” Ladon said next to her
ear. “We still have to stretch you more, you’re so fucking tight, sweetheart.
You cannot come, though, no matter what, you can’t come without us. Remember
that, and if it becomes too much, say something, we’ll take a breather until
you’re balanced again.” She felt him stretching her more. “Working two in now,
Vi.”
Vi nodded and let her forehead drop
to Viper’s chest. She was clenching her hands on his arms tightly. “I won’t
come without the two of you, I need you both far too damn much for that.” She
needed that connection to them both, had to have it, or she knew she wouldn’t
be able to continue on with this life.
Viper slid his hands up, one on her
arm, the other to the back of her neck. “Keep breathing,” he said softly. He
nipped at her ear gently before he rested his cheek to hers, the stubble on his
cheeks lightly scraping her skin.
The tactile sensations of Viper
nuzzling and teasing her skin and the stretching and teasing that Ladon was
doing to her backside had her gasping for air. “Gods. That feels so good.” They
hadn’t even touched her clit and already she was about to go off like the
proverbial rocket. She saw stars behind her eyelids, she was gasping for air
but forced her orgasm under control. “Hurry,” she demanded instead. “Not going
to hurt me, not when I was made for you both. God, please hurry.”
“You’re too tight, Vi. I don’t want
to hurt you,” Ladon growled.
“She’s on edge, Ladon. We can’t
risk having her go over. Take it slow, but we need to do this now.”
“Shit,” he muttered. “I really wish
we had some lube.”
“Check the bedside table, knowing
Drake there’s likely some in there,” Viper said.
Violet’s eyes were closed as she
clenched her fingers against Viper’s shoulders. She leaned in and bit his
shoulder, she couldn’t seem to help herself. She was desperate and she damn
well needed and wanted both of them to be right there with her. She wanted to
shake that indomitable control that Viper had on himself, she wanted to see the
Draygon that was hers. Dammit.
“Behave,” he said, his voice taking
on a sharp edge.
“Got some,” Ladon announced
triumphantly. “Vi, hold on, sweetheart. This is likely to be damned cold. But I
need to work some up your gorgeous little ass before we start. Try not to
clench too hard if you can.”
“Working on trying, but then Viper
tells me to behave.” She looked up at said mate and grinned. “Do it, Ladon,”
she said, but her eyes never left Viper’s, she was utterly mesmerized by him.
“Hurry, don’t care how fucking cold it is, because soon we will be burning
hot.”
