Grave Robbing and
Other Hobbies
by Jayce Carter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Paranormal Erotic Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Abandoned at three—whose parents want a kid who sees ghosts?—I learned the world is quick to punish misfits. I try my best to be a normal, boring human, but the call of the supernatural just won’t be ignored.
When a stranger shows up on my doorstep in the middle of the night, it’s no sexy tryst. Instead, I’m off to the graveyard, digging up the corpse of a murder victim at the demand of the local vampire coven—and that small felony is just the start.
The spirit of the woman has gone missing, something that shouldn’t be possible, and everyone is looking to me for answers. There's Kase, a vampire who’s both terrifying and secretive. Grant, a mage with a bad attitude and a lot of power. Troy, the possessive werewolf-detective next door and Hunter, a mysterious bad boy who isn’t even close to human.
It’s a race not just against time but against everything to figure out where the spirits are going, who’s behind it and if I can trust the men who now share my bed.
And all because of a little grave robbing…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
I took the stairs carefully, gripping the railing as I went, trying to peer into the darkness of my living room.
Was it Kase? Had he decided he didn’t care for a human telling him what to do or where to go? Or perhaps Troy figured waiting until morning for something between an apology and a lecture was just too far.
Except, I knew it wasn’t them. I could feel it deep in my bones, the way I knew when the sun rose without looking outside, the way I knew when a predator was staring at me.
Whatever was here wasn’t anything as trivial as a vampire or werewolf.
And what sort of screwed up world did I live in where vampires and werewolves were trivial?
When I reached the ground floor, that chill worsened. I struggled to breathe, and the darkness wasn’t run of the mill, as if someone forgot to turn on a light. It was deeper, as though light wasn’t just absent but devoured. Something was there inside it, shifting, staring back at me.
My wrists burned, as if fire licked along the edges of the scars there. It crept up my arms, searing me, and when I would have screamed, someone closed their hand over my mouth.
“Trust me, you don’t want it to hear you.”

GUEST POST:
Blog Post #42: A Day in the Life of Jayce Carter
My day starts early. Because I’m a mom and have a husband who works from home, I need the quiet in the morning. This means I wake up at 5am. We’re going to look at two things. My ideal day and then the reality, because those are never the same thing.
My Ideal Daily Schedule:
5am—Wake up
6am—Write
10am—Administrative Work
11:30am—Lunch
1pm—Chores
6pm—Dinner
7pm-10pm—Free time, then bed!
Reality likes to kick me in the ovaries, however, so let’s look at an actual day!
My Actual Day on Friday, January 29th:
5am—wake up, grumble, take my meds, get dressed, and make coffee
5:30am—make an extremely optimistic daily plan that includes things
like yoga and meditation that are never going to happen
6am—write while swearing to myself I’m not the worst writer who has
ever existed
6:15am—delete what I wrote and start over
6:20am—regret deleting that I already wrote, sure that it was my
masterpiece that is lost forever now
6:30am—reheat my coffee
7am—realize I’ve gotten nothing done and I have deadlines, so panic
write some more
8am—spend twenty minutes looking for my son’s cow shirt because it is the only thing he can possibly wear
8:20am—look for my forgotten coffee and heat it up again
10am—remember I’m supposed to post to social media daily and try to
figure out how hashtags work
10:30am—heat up my coffee
11:30am—make the kids lunch and return calls/emails
Noon—make another cup of coffee
12:30pm—clean the house while cursing my family for being slobs
2pm—go to the store and sit in the car for a long time because it is
nice and quiet
3pm—help kids with homework while realizing that 3rd grade math is
really f***ing hard!
6pm—make dinner and realize I haven’t eaten all day
7pm—relax, play video games and read
9pm—go to bed early while assuring myself I’m still a badass who is young and cool
My actual day rarely hits my ideal plan, but that is true of everything, I think. If at the end of it all the kids are alive, I’ve written some words and my house isn’t on fire, I figure I can count the day as a success!
