I love summer and this one promises to be an exciting time for me. I’m only two months away from the deadline for delivery of the first book in my three-book, erotic romance series for Sourcebooks Casablanca. 
The Forgotten Goddesses are part of my Etruscan Magic series, which include the Lucani Lovers and Magical Seduction series from Ellora’s Cave.
In WHAT A GODDESS WANTS (July 2011), I’ll introduce readers to Tessa, aka Thesan, Etruscan Goddess of the Dawn. She’s a relatively minor goddess in the scheme of things but she loved her job until that Roman cow, Aurora, usurped her position.
Mythology and magic have always been favorite topics of mine. Mix in some hot sex and I’m so there.
The ancient deities were all about sex. They got around more than a shipful of sailors on leave. And usually pissed off more than a few people on the way, which makes for great conflict.
But what happens a few millennia down the line, when most of your people have died out and/or forgotten all about you? Well, the Etruscans have managed to maintain their way of life through the ages. Today, they might live next door to you and you’d never know.
That guy across the street, the one with the dark eyes, Roman nose and fascinating tattoos? Would you be shocked to learn he was a lucani, an Etruscan werewolf?
And what about the beautiful redhead in the house on the corner. She’s really a folletta, an Etruscan fairy. That tattooed outline of wings on her back isn’t really a tattoo.
In SEDUCED BY MAGIC, the first book in my Magical Seduction series, Justin Johannson discovers the truth about who his father really is when a beautiful, naked woman with wings finds her way into his bed. In SEDUCED BY TWO, Nica Donato uses her skills as a strega, an Etruscan witch, to save her lovers.
And in EDGE OF MOONLIGHT, John Simmons meets the woman of his dreams, only to learn she’s more than a little feral. She’s actually a werewolf.
I like to believe there’s magic all around us, that there’s still wonder in the world. That ancient gods and goddesses still roam and that fairies and werewolves are real.
Makes my world a little brighter…by the light of the moon.

I’ve admired this series from afar and would love to read it. It sounds super sexy and that’s really want I’m looking for on those depressing days when I need a pick-me-up.
Thanks for the intro to Stephanie and her books, Cynthia! These sound good–I love how she’s rooted them in mythology and given them her own spin!
