As I said in my last post, Mocha Memoirs newest anthology release is Ghosts, Gears, and Grimoires, a Steampunk horror collection. The new Sherlock Holmes anthology is currently in production. Last year, we produced Avast, Ye Airships! and An Improbable Truth: The Paranormal Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Past anthology offerings included In the Bloodstream and The Grotesquerie.
Why should you care?
Many reasons. First of all, an anthology is a brilliant way to see the work of many different authors for a substantially cheaper price than if you bought their longer works without knowing anything about them. Of course, we hope that you will want to see more of their writing, but if someone's style doesn't resonate with you, you have other stories to read.
Tying in with that, it is a great way to find new favorites. An anthology usually has a mix of authors--some you may follow regularly, and others you may never have heard of. With a small press, you are even more likely to find some unfamiliar names.
Anthologies usually have a unifying theme or subject matter, which means that you are going to be getting stories that all relate to something you are interested in. Like Airship pirates, or Sherlock Holmes. :)
It can be a lot of fun to collect the authors' autographs too--though sometimes a challenge, as we have many foreign contributors. Which is another benefit: you get to see varying perspectives when you have authors from around the world.
Finally, you don't have to invest a great deal of time all at once to reading it. With short stories from different authors, you can pick and choose the order to savor them depending on the time you have to devote to reading at the moment. Anthologies are great for Kindles and other readers when you might be stuck in a waiting room or a long line.
Search for anthologies on Amazon, and you will be amazed at the variety of offerings. Of course, some may be higher quality than others. In these fast-shifting days of publishing revision, there are many anthologies that have been cobbled together quickly--but even the worst that I have seen have a gem or two in them, and for a reasonable investment.
And Mocha Memoirs has treasure chests full of carefully-chosen gems for you to enjoy!

Has It Really Been a Month Already?! -- Endings and Beginnings
Time flies when you are having fun...
It looks like October will be a month of endings and beginnings here at Mocha Memoirs. First of all, if you haven't gotten your story in to Alexandra Christian for the latest Sherlock Holmes anthology call, submissions END on October 14th. Time is running out--so if you have been procrastinating...get a move on!
It will also be the BEGINNING of availability for Ghosts, Gears, and Grimoires, the Steampunk Horror anthology that debuts on October 27th. I can't wait to see the book in print. There are some wickedly awesome stories in it.
Of course, Halloween is also coming--that is the END of October (and my personal favorite holiday) and marks the BEGINNING of National Novel Writing Month. If you have never participated in NaNoWriMo, give it a shot! What have you got to lose? Even if you don't finish, you will have more words than you started with. :)
The goal is 50,000 words in a month, which is a bit daunting, I know--but that works out to only 1667 words a day to make the goal. That isn't so bad. After all, this post has over 200 words, and look how short it is... It is a lot of fun, and I've gotten at least five or six completed manuscripts from the rough first drafts of November. Who knows? You might be the next discovery for us!

The Anticipation Versus The Bang
There's a famous Alfred Hitchcock quote that sticks with me every time I write a horror story: "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it." The man could not have been more right, especially when it comes to dark fantasy when it mixes with horror. Obviously this applies to the horror genre, building up the atmosphere until the scary monster leaps out from the shadows onto their victim, but with dark fantasy there always seems to be more in the way of atmospheric scares than splatterfest gore.
Think of any scary story you've ever read. Imagine reading it alone at home one night. You're unable to go outside because there's a huge thunderstorm crashing around your house. Thunder and roaring winds make the windows rattle and the blinding lightning is making you blink, your eyes seeing the shadows take new, towering shapes.
You shift on your couch and try to make yourself more comfortable, wrapping your blanket around you as though it will protect you from whatever tricks your mind is playing. You tell yourself that it's just a stupid storm, and go back to your book. In it, the main character is moving toward the attic to find out what they heard. Their hand is shaking on their flashlight, their footsteps creaking the on the attic stairs. Past the wooden groans and their pounding heart, they hear the raspy breathing coming from the attic. Your own pulse begins to quicken. You know something is up there, and you want to tell them to turn around. But they won't. The storm rages beyond you.
The character enters the attic. They step onto the floorboards and see nothing, but the tortured breathing is louder than ever. It's coming quicker, moving from shadow to shadow. Your mind is telling the character to run back down, but they take another step. The trap door slams shut behind them. They spin around, choking on their scream, and lift their flashlight when they see–
The door of your house slams open. You jump and scream, the book flying out of your hands as you whirl around–
And see your husband standing there with a bewildered look on his face.
Not a true story, but I had you going, didn't I?
While I was writing my latest Mocha Memoir novella, Hotel Hell, I focused on heightening the tension. The story revolves around a young man named Milo who searches for his missing fiancee, only to come across a hotel with dark, disturbing secrets. Concentrating on the creepiness of the hotel was key. Adding in little situations where Milo and the readers know something isn't right, but they can't figure out what. Even when I was planning the story, I knew I had to write it as though the hotel itself was a character with a mystery, and that its employees were just as terrifying as the building itself. Creating the horrors inside the hotel was the funnest part, and I think it made the impact of the climax so much more frightening. It's amazing what you can imagine if you take an ordinary object, and twist it into something that Neil Gaiman would create.
For me, dark fantasy and horror tend to go hand in hand, as they both concentrate on the anticipation of the danger. Both genres want to set off warning bells in your head, even though you're dying to turn the page and see what lurks behind that corner. They feed each other, one building on fear in the readers heart through romantically twisted scenarios while horror weaves itself into the cracks, like glowing red eyes through the slits of your closet. Don't worry– I'll save that story for another time.
Happy Halloween!

Seven Questions with SJ: Alexandra Christian
Welcome back with another round of seven questions with Selah Janel! This month my victim is the lovely Alexandra Christian. I've known Lexxx for a while and am always in awe of how well she mixes romance with horror, erotica with smart characters, and sassy humor with everything. Here's what she had to say...
SJ: What author, living or dead, do you just want to punch in
the face and take their place? Who has so much talent that you just can't stand
it?
AC:Most definitely
Stephen King. If there was a demonic
force that would allow me to switch evil genius brains with him, I would be
hard pressed not to take him up on the offer.
King’s gift for description and characterization is something that I
both envy and strive for. He’s what I measure myself and other authors by. …but no pressure…
SJ: It’s your funeral, and the only thing people are talking
about is your writing. What kind of creative legacy do you hope you leave
behind?
AC: I would hope that
people would say that I brought legitimacy to the erotic romance genre. That my stories were not only sensual, but
also smart, funny and well-crafted.
SJ: Since you focus on erotica writers, do you think they're
perceived as being really down-and-dirty, or all y'all just human like the rest
of us?
AC: I think that there’s
this fantasy that all erotic writers are one of two things. Either we’re all these smoldering sexpots
that write fictionalized versions of our own sexual escapades OR that we’re all
crazy cat-ladies writing dirty books on our lunch breaks from our jobs at the
local library. I like to think that most
of us are like me: somewhere in
between. I am highly imaginative, sexy,
flirty, smart, classy, goofy and generally a nice girl. I think that if you write erotic romance or
erotica, it’s kind of your responsibility to act like an intelligent, classy
and talented author so that all of us will be taken seriously. I have witnessed an awful lot of authors who
put this “down and dirty” image out there and then get upset when they 1—get treated
like a bimbette who is writing garbage and 2—get disgusting propositions from
creepers on social media sites. If you
want to be taken seriously as an author then you have to project an image of
being a serious author.
SJ: If you were stranded on a desert island with three
characters you've written, who would you: 1. want around to help you survive 2.
want around to populate the island with 3. want around in case you need to
resort to cannibalism.
AC: Hmmm…. I think I’d
want Sascha from Beast of Burden to help me survive. She’s such a strong and ingenuous person that
I think she could help us slaughter animals for food and build a bamboo
hut. When I got ready to repopulate, I’m
not sure who I’d pick. I’ve written so
many sexy heroes that I’d be hard pressed to choose. Andre from the Strange Bedfellows
series and Seth from Sanguine Kiss are amazing lovers with their vampire
stamina, but of course, they wouldn’t be much good for repopulation. And then Jack Leannan from Second Skin
could help me spawn a race of Selkies that would take over the island. As for
resorting to cannibalism, Saraqael from my first novel, Hellsong, would
be the best choice. Duh—he’s an
angel. He’s got wings. He could fly us right outta there….
SJ:What genre do you really want to write in that you
haven't gotten a chance to yet?
AC: I’d really like a high
fantasy. Something straight out of Lord
of the Rings with elves and dwarves. I
think the world-building would be so much fun.
Of course, for me the hardest part would be keeping the romance out of
it…
SJ: What author do you feel is the hidden gem in the world
today?
AC: You, of course, Selah!
Seriously, I think that all of my writer friends are amazing talents that
haven’t been fully realized by the world just yet. I always gravitate toward people that are
incredibly talented storytellers. Tally
Johnson, Susan H. Roddey, Crymsyn Hart, Selah Janel, Stephen Zimmer and Lucy
Blue are among my favorite “unknowns.”
SJ: Why MMP? What's your favorite part about working with
them?
AC: I met the publisher at
MMP, Nicole Kurtz, at a convention a few years ago. She had such a clear vision about where she
wanted MMP to go and the types of authors she was looking for that I
immediately wanted to help her on the path to world domination. She had a great business plan that was about
being profitable for everyone, but also helping to nurture good authors. My favorite part about working with MMP so
far has been all of the wonderful people I’ve met who are so helpful and
supportive.

Seven Questions with Wynelda Ann Deaver!
It's the fourteenth, so it must be time for Seven Questions with Selah Janel! This month, we're talking to author Wynelda Ann Deaver!
SJ: As a writer, what is your
absolute favorite part? What's the part that makes you want to hide under a bed
and scream?
WAD: My absolute favorite part is
when my eyes go out of focus, the computer, tv, everything disappears and I’m
in the story. It’s like living your own movie, and nothing else is quite like
it, except perhaps the way children play and are in the action. Hide
under a bed and scream? That would definitely be revision and marketing. Revision
because I just want to scream when I do it, marketing only because I don’t know
how (that homework is superhard, mom!)
SJ: Is there a character you've
written that definitely comes from you and is a part of you? Who?
WAD: There are two. The first character I wrote,
Alex, was who I was and who I wished I was at the time (20 odd years ago).
Completely bad-ass, rides dragons, sword fights with the boys, loyal to the end
and interested in justice. She was also the heroine I was working with when my
mom died, so a lot of the grief, and the hitting and screaming… that came right
from me. Other than her, the character I’m currently writing is based loosely
on some of my experiences (she had some of the same, but I threw in a few Greek
Gods, a magic garden, and well… you get the idea.) So her past is similar to
mine, but what’s happening to her now? Not so much LOL.
SJ: Have you ever written any plot
point or scene that makes you blush for any reason at all?
WAD:Any and all love scenes make me blush to write. Always have, probably
always will. Since my primary genre is fantasy, I can get away with a lot of
fade to black.
SJ: If you had to have a cage fight
with a character you've written, who would you choose? If you got to kiss them
better at the end, would your choice change?
WAD: Someone I wanted to hurt, or who I wanted to hurt badly? That would be
the Blue Mage (aka Asshat) from Dragon’s Champion. I can’t stand people who
feed on the pain of others. Kissing of the boo-boos? Definitely Ares, the hero
of my current work in progress.
SJ: What is your biggest pet peeve
with yourself as a writer?
WAD: I don’t write
enough. I feel as if I should be writing reams and reams every day. Instead, I
wake up, get my son ready for the bus, go to work, come home, spend time with
the boy, and then possibly write. I’m getting better at it, making sure that I
get words down in the story every day. It’s slow, but you know what? I’m not a
single college student living with my parents anymore either.
SJ: What's the author that you hope
to live up to someday? Who's your inspiration?
WAD: There are too many to count! Frances Hodgson Burnett is one of the
reasons I wanted to start writing, along with Madeline L’Engle. Their stories
transported me. Now, of the writers I currently read, hmm… I love Lynn Flewelling,
Mercedes Lackey, Carol Berg… All of who write wildly different tales, set
in fantasy worlds.
SJ: Why MMP? What's your favorite
part about working with them?
WAD: Let me tell
you a story. I wrote a novella in college, and I was offered a contract on it
about 5 years later. Well, technically I never even received the contract. The
editing “help” I was getting was vague at best, and downright lazy in parts. I
grew so frustrated I pulled the novella (which I knew needed work, but I needed
help with it). A friend and fellow writer recommended I submit Dragon’s
Champion to MMP, and I am so glad I did. Not only has everyone been
professional (from getting the contracts, to cover art, to editing)… they’ve
also been incredibly kind (helping out, answering a newbie’s endless
questions).
Bright, funny Constance sets off to rescue herself when she first sets
foot on the Dragon’s Path. Along the way, she’ll encounter a merry band of
brigands, a shop full of dresses (and temptation) and a Golden Dragon. Constance
will find out that by taking that first step… she just might find her destiny.

"SK Presents" - The Beginning
Morning, everyone.
[Pause for loud coffee slurping.]
I'm Siobhan Kinkade, and today is my first day playing on the MMP blog. I had this big, bold plan for what I wanted to talk about and how I was going to go about promoting my fellow authors around here. I had it all laid out. I was good to go.Then real life stepped in and kicked me in the butt. All my plans got shot in the foot and now I feel like I've been shot too.
But that's neither here nor there.
So here's what I'm going to do. Since March is here and I'm completely unprepared, I'm going to use myself as a guinea pig first.From this month forward, I'll be having Q&A sessions with different books from the MMP catalog. Each month will showcase a different title in the catalog with five questions to pique your interest.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to buy the spotlighted book and read it. Or, if you've already read it, give me your answers in the comments. Oh, and if you haven't done it already, use the contact information I provide for the author to hunt him or her down and tell that person what you thought of the book. We authors love to hear when our work is appreciated.
Next month you get the answers to these questions, along with a new book and new questions. Stay tuned, kids. There's good stuff coming up.
Oh, and be sure to tune in tomorrow for a visit from one of my partners in crime, Selah Janel!

MOCHA MEMOIRS ESPRESSO SHOTS: Separate but Together
We'd like to share with you a steamy title from our Espresso Shots line.
Espresso Shots are very much like the Steamy Mocha Shots. In fact, these are bold blasts of a genre—science fiction, horror, or fantasy for example. These stories have all the hallmarks of those classic genres but add dashes of bold creativity. The other good news—espresso shots are only 6,000 words or less.We like to think of espresso shots as coffee (classic genres) with shots of espresso (bold eye-opening creativity).
==========================================================
SEPARATE BUT TOGETHER is a sexy, erotic story that's steeped in fantasy romance. Two people from different cultures meet and the results are not only powerful for them but also their respective people. Raven Starr is a bestselling erotic romance author, and her blast of espresso to a traditonal fantasy story is arousing as it is entertaining.
Blurb: In a Hartslst, a risky world, two people from different tribes fall in love. Kaali, from the East Falls Turtle Clan, falls hard for Sar’tac, a northlander. Only once yearly, or if in dire need, do the two clans ever meet. But from the moment Kaali saw Sar’tac her heart belonged to him. How long would she wait to see him again? Will another love steal her heart?

31 Days of Steamy Mocha $1.00 shots
For the month of July 2012 only, we’re offering our steamy mocha shots for $1.00. These erotic or steamy romances are powerful packs of deliciousness. Stories from bestselling authors, Tysche Dwai, Billy London, RaeLynn Blue, and Nikki Winter just to name a few will be available.
After 7/31/12, the promotional price will end and these succulent stories will go back to their original prices. All of the stories are brand new. You can’t get these steamy shots before 7/1/12. Our blog will post what sweet sinfulness is available each Friday and Saturday in July. Available at http://mochamemoirspress.com.

You’ll want to visit this blog to see what’s new. Every single day in July will have a new blog by guests authors, editors and the owner of MMP. You’ll learn about intimacy, how to be a better writer, what drives character development, and more. Some of our authors have penned short stories just for the blog and our anniversary.
