Author Spotlight: Christine Feehan

Today it would appear is a busy day for me when it comes to the online world. I guess it's because i don't have the time anymore to just sit by in front of the computer and just type away on the internet.

While i do make a point in writing something everyday, i don't always get a chance to read, or really recognize the other authors out there who continuously inspire me to keep trudging along in anything that i do. So every now and again i want to start doing an Author's Spotlight. Article's or my words of praise for the works these people do every day.

My opinions on the stories, the characters and really the Author's talent and drive to write continuously unique and thrilling pieces of work that i enjoy reading again and again.

So with out further adieu, I would like to give the honor of my first Author Spot light to.



Christine Feehan

"I've been a writer all of my life -- it is who I am. I write for myself and always have. The ability to create pictures and emotions with words is such a miracle to me. I read everything; I mean everything! All kinds of books, even encyclopedias. I am fascinated by the written word and I love storytellers. It is a great privilege to be counted one myself."~Christine Feehan (www.christinefeehan.com)


This wonderful woman is an inspiration to all who wonder just how far the boundaries should go when dealing with romance fiction. Her Happily For Now endings always leave you with a sense of fulfillment and wanting so much more. 

Her eloquent way with words, descriptions and places is just wonderful. She puts all her effort in to crafting believable characters, wonderful exotic places and the simplest of pleasures all of them are crafted in such a way that her novels are no longer words on a page, they are living images in your mind. 

Her intimate scenes leave the reader (at least this reader) fanning themselves and wondering just how much more the heat can be turned up- and she delivers. Do not be confused, her novels are nothing like an erotica, while her novels are deliciously erotic; they are filled with substance. 

I have had the (not) so guilty pleasure of reading her  books in both hard copy print, and Ebook format. I will say now that nothing will ever replace the feeling of turning the pages of a book. It is just as enthralling to read in any format. 

A brief list of her works include: 
Dark Series
" Welcome to the home of my Carpathians. The extraordinary nature of these men and women make it a pleasure for this writer to revisit their land again and again in my novels. The Carpathians fire my imagination!
Their stories allow me to explore everything from shapeshifting, to wild, exotic and dangerous animals, to the nature of true love (and passion). I hope you enjoy the Carpathians and their Dark Series!" ~Christine Feehan 


At 22 books long, this series stands strong with powerful men and stubbornly resistant wemon who are believable funny and enchanting. the old world men meet new aged women. Do you want to know the twist? 

Well, remember good old dracula, you know Bela Lugosi dracula? 

(Yes in that day the man was gorgeous <- via public opinion) 

Welcome old wold men, lets meet your life mates and see how this works out. 

Its a fun entertaining series that never lets you down and only leaves you begging for more more MORE! Oh, did i mention there's also Vampires: No not Mr-I-look-like-i-was-rolled-in-a-vat-of-sugar Vampire. 


Nosferatu The Real Deal People 

Yes these guys make they're own not so shiney apperaince in the stories as we progress through the tale of the last remaining Carpathians and they're struggle for salvation in the arms of their sexy, confident and oh-so-modern life mates. 

A must read for anyone interested in the paranormal realm of lust filled romance! One of my personal top five favorite novel series of all time.

*Start off the series by picking up Dark Prince, you can also find the series order on her website; http://www.christinefeehan.com/dark_series/faqs.php





Leopard Series: 
"Welcome to the home of my Leopard Series stories. I'm happy to announce that Burning Wild is now in stores! I hope you enjoy it.
I'm glad to finally get back to this series with a new story that keeps tugging at me like crazy. I love the rainforest and am working my way back to my Leopard people!"-Christine Feehan (From her official website http://www.christinefeehan.com/leopard_series/index.php




Significantly shorter then the Dark series, standing at five books long.


  • BOOK #1: THE AWAKENING (story in Fantasy & Fever) 
  • BOOK #2: WILD RAIN (story also in Fever)
  • BOOK #3: BURNING WILD
  • BOOK #4: WILD FIRE
  • BOOK #5: SAVAGE NATURE

It's a slinky new twist on the feline perspective with these fantastic shifting people from the heart of the mysterious and exotic rain forests. Once again (Feehan) knocks us readers for an imaginative spiral through the wilderness sucking us straight in to the heart of the lush rain forest, looking in to the majestic eyes of the deadly leopard who holds the intelligence of a man. 

Neither man, nor beast- yet equally both. These predators find themselves swimming though a ride of adventure intrigue and self discovery. 

There is so much this reader (and fellow author) would love to type out in high praise for these works of absolute art. There are no words to match the astounding awe that i am enshrouded in ever time i crack the cover her novels. 

If your a fan of the paranormal; romance or just like to read- I highly suggest you pick yourselves up a copy of her works I know you will not be disappointed! Though Be warned, her books have a high chance of becoming near instantly addictive! 

Thank you Christine Feehan for your creative words that continue to inspire my imagination and my authors drive to push through my own first novel!
