Ella J Phoenix
Author Bio
I was just nine years old when I discovered my passion for
the paranormal world. That passion led me to a bachelor’s degree in Performing
Arts where I had my first taste in writing, conjuring children’s plays and
re-writing Shakespearean masterpieces to suit the modern times (Yes, he’s still
cringing in his grave).
After years travelling around the world, translating other
people’s novels and devouring paranormal romances, I realized the real world
wasn’t fun without a touch of magic, and decided to purge my own crazy stories
into paper, well, into word doc, to be more precise.
My busy life with a demanding full time job and a very
loving husband (I’m so not complaining!) doesn’t allow me much spare time, but
somehow every night I find myself in front of the computer, exorcising the
millions of stories stored in my sanity-challenged mind.
My novels are tales of love and passion between strong
female leads and hot heroes, bathed in paranormal magic, of course.
I live in Sydney, Australia, the land of koalas (that are
not bears), kangaroos (that are not boxing champions) and Vegemite (a black
spread that should have never been invented. Seriously, don’t try it).

BOOK BLURBS
Wolf Hunger (Book 3 of the Dragon Heat series)
When the last box of deadly bullets is stolen, the hunt is
on and the Vampire King’s band of fighters is set for the challenge of
recovering it. But Yara, the shifter-witch, has other problems to face. She
must help her leader to overcome the strange illness that has befallen her
before it’s too late. For that, she must go back to the only place she swore
never to return – her home land.
Rafe is a typical lone wolf who spends his nights earning
his bucks in the fighting ring. When he was offered a pardon for his debts in
exchange for the Vampire King’s head, he didn’t even blink, thinking it would
be a hard mission but not impossible. He just wasn’t expecting the saucy
shifter-witch to cross his path and ruin his plans. Now, he can’t get her out
of his mind and the clock is ticking for him to make good on his word.
This is the third novel of the Dragon Heat series – a
paranormal lover’s delight with vampires, shifters, dragons, witches and much
more.

Vampire Thirst (Book 2 of the Dragon Heat series)
Nominated for the “Best Indie Paranormal Romance Book” award
by the Indie Romance Convention 2014.
In "Vampire Thirst - Book 2", you will find out
more about Samantha’s past (a human with strange powers), and her torrid love
story with Hikuro, the vampire king's powerful second in command. After
successfully rescuing the daughter of a draconian senator and other innocent
women from a vampire psychopath, Sam and fellow warriors, Zoricah and Yara,
have to trade sunny New York for gloomy London. Time is running out on their
unfinished mission. More innocent people will die if they don’t catch the
person behind the attacks in New York. But something is making Sam lose control
of her powers. Something or someone. Ever since her first - and quite heated -
encounter with Hikuro, her energies had gone haywire. The vampire king’s second
in command affected her in a way no one had ever before. Her torment, however,
is bound to get worse, with Hikuro’s unexpected arrival in London.
Ever since she set foot on vampire territory, Sam had turned
Hikuro’s carefully controlled life upside down. He doesn’t trust her, but some
strange force pulled him toward her; an inexplicable attraction that defies
centuries of training. But if Hikuro is to keep his king safe, he must keep a
close eye on Sam, even if he loses his sanity and his heart in the process.

Do your leading characters come from any place in
particular?
Yep, my heart. :)
What do you do in your down time?
My mind never stops so it's really
hard for me to simply do nothing and just relax. I read novels, I watch movies,
I sing and I dance.
Top five snacks while writing:
Pop corn!
Does red wine count as a snack?
What's your writing process?
I think about the characters for a
few weeks, developing who they are, where they came from, and what cross-roads
of life they are in. Then I write the first and maybe the second chapters, and
then I eventually stop to draft the rest of the synopsis. I know it's a weird
way of doing things but that's how my mind works.
Talk to us about your book, what is your favorite part
or character?
I enjoyed writing the very first
chapter, when Yara and Rafe meet at the fighting joint, the chapters when Yara
and Rafe are in his wolf pack territory, the final battle... Oh, I can't choose!
What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
Got married! :) My husband was
supposed to be a summer fling. That was 10 years ago.
