Tardieh, the Vampire King, has long learned not to trust the dragons but when the flames of passion ignite between him and Zoricah, he finds himself torn between overwhelming sexual heat and centuries-old distrust.

VAMPIRE THIRST (Book 2 of the Dragon Heat series)

Sometimes life takes you down a completely different path from the one you had originally planned.
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.

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.

Fresh from the Press: "Vampire Legacy" by Ella J. Phoenix wins distinguished prize.

Author of paranormal romance novels from Australia has two of her novels recognized by well-regarded industry bodies in the United States. 
Sydney, Australia - January, 27, 2016.

In January 2016, Ella J. Phoenix, author of paranormal romance novels, had two of her novels recognized by well-regarded industry bodies.

“Vampire Legacy”, the fourth book of her Dragon Heat Series, won third place “Best Vampire Paranormal Romance Novel” in the renowned “PRG Reviewer's Choice Awards” of 2015, produced by the Paranormal Romance Guild. The guild’s review team chose Ms. Phoenix’s novel amongst five hundred books reviewed last year. In addition, the entire “Dragon Heat Series” also won third place “Best Shifter Paranormal Romance Series” of 2015.

“I am really excited about these awards,” said Ms. Phoenix, “not only because they are produced by a serious team of reviewers but also because the second round of voting involves readers. So it’s truly great to be recognized by both groups this way.”

This is not the first time Ms. Phoenix received such recognition by the guild and her fans. In 2013, her first novel, “Dragon Heat - Book 1”, won third place in the coveted “Best Vampire Paranormal Romance Novel” category, and in 2014 the third novel in the series, “Wolf Hunger”, was the runner up in the “Best Paranormal Romance Novel - Shifter Category”.

The Paranormal Romance Guild is not the only industry group that recognized Ms. Phoenix for her quality work and craftsmanship for story-telling. Last Sunday, January 24, BookWorks, an association for self-publishing authors, chose “Dragon Heat - Book 1” Book of the Week.

“The BookWorks team enjoys discovering the many excellent books written by our members and keeps an eye out for those that are especially attention-worthy,” explained Christi Love, Creative Director/Special Projects Manager on an email to Ms. Phoenix. The author confirmed she felt extremely honored by the new accolade especially because according to BookWork’s email, her novel was selected from hundreds of submitted titles.

Hi, welcome to my blog. Here’s a little bit about myself.

I discovered I was addicted to the paranormal when I was quite young - I blame it on the super heroes. Damn you, Wonder Woman! That passion led me to a love for the art of telling stories - the theater, movies, novels, comic books - then ultimately a bachelor’s degree in the Performing Arts. 
It wasn't very cool to work my ass off for no money, though, so I had to eventually forsake my passion for a traditional career to pay my bills. 
It was my mother who got me into writing. I call her “my catalyst” – she’s always been the one to say, “Why not? Go for it!”
So, I did. I traveled the world, lived in different continents, experienced amazing cultures, and met several great people. One of them was my husband. We fell in love instantly and moved in together after mere two weeks into our relationship. But as we all know - passion has a very bright but short blaze. After a few years, I found myself still loving him, but not wanting him as much as I used to. Around that time I started devouring at least two paranormal romances per month.  And, what do you know - my marriage went back into full swing again.   
A few months later, I started a project with my mom – did I mention she’s a fantastic writer? Yep, she is.  While working with her, I came across a few literary agents that were actively looking for new paranormal romance writers. But when I suggested it to my mother, she came back with – “Paranormal is not my thing, but why don’t you write a novel?”
“Yeah, why don’t I?”
It wasn’t easy but after years translating other people’s work and devouring paranormal romances, I felt ready to put my passion into words and start my first novel, Dragon Heat – Book One, in 2010. Today, my Dragon Heat series has five books, three of which won awards, and I'm working on a new series.  

I hope you enjoy your read and that my books inspire you to get out there and dare, the same way the novels I read inspired me.

By Apa Dobrý, go for it!
