Blood Pleasures
by Annie Windsor, Cheyenne McCray

Zin, a five-century old Aztec warrior-turned-vampire has been waiting for his Eternal Mate's return since the day the evil Lopos murdered her. Zin's a leather-clad, motorcycle-riding, bad boy with a passion for guitar-playing, rock music, and for life itself. Yet without his mate, something will always be missing. When he finally senses her return, he must once again battle the Lopos...only this time he will not fail.

Hannah Cordova's life has been splashed across the tabloids by a useless coward of a man. The betrayal sends her fleeing from relationships, from touring to promote her latest album, and from thousands of prying eyes. On her way to Cabo San Lucas, she's lured into a mysterious resort in small Mexican town which could mean excitement...or soul-ripping fear and danger. It could also mean the stirring of an ancient power---and an ancient passion---Hannah never knew she could claim for her own.

*Blood Pleasures was originally published May 2004 in eBook and October 2004 in trade paperback as Vampire Dreams with Ellora's Cave Presents.

Annie Windsor's Bio

I'm in my 40's now, and finally living my lifelong dream of loving all my jobs. I still work in psychology, I farm, I write—and I have a blast.

I'm southern by birth, and I've lived in the south most of my life. My foothill farm is beautiful, and I couldn't ask for a better place to live or write. I find inspiration, peace, joy, and beauty in my family, my home, the woods, and the love of all my many animals. And I do have a lot of animals. I mean, a lot. Dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, peafowl, guineas, ducks, geese, and oh, yeah—a parrot. Who is a perfect parrot-pain, but I do love him.

Urban fantasy, high fantasy, futuristic science fiction, and historical fantasy are my favorite genres to write or to read. I write almost every day, and I try to finish at least one manuscript every few months. In between time spent practicing psychology, writing, tending the animals, and spending time with my family, I also try to dedicate a few hours to playing my guitar and piano, photography, playing video games, watching old movies, and walking.

I'm thrilled to be able to write, and thrilled that readers enjoy my stories. I'd love to hear from you, and I'd love to know what you think about my books.
