Dante and Heather sat down for an interview at Paranormal Romance Addict and had a great time. Von dropped in to add his two cents as well. The giveaway goes until April 28th and the winner will receive a signed copy of any of my books – winner’s choice. So drop by, say hello, and enter!
Here’s a peek at the interview:
PRA: I am incredibly excited to interview Dante Baptiste and Heather Wallace today. Heather and Dante are two fabulous characters from Adrian Phoenix’s The Makers Song Series.
I know Dante’s not a big fan of interviews so I’ll try to be gentle. *looks over at Dante and grins* Well, unless you like it rough. *winks*
Dante: *laughs, the sound low and warm* Gentle? Ain’t familiar with that word. I only know rough, so go on, give me your best, chère.
PRA: *looks over at Heather* Haha, sorry!
Heather: *smiles and flaps a hand* No need to apologize. I’m getting used to it. Hardly anyone says a word to Dante that isn’t brimming with sexual innuendo. Even me. *grins* I mean look at him.
Dante: *snorts*
Heather: *plants a quick kiss on his lips* Talk and innuendo I can deal with. But touching or kissing or groping – now that’s another matter altogether.
Dante: *teasing smile* Aw, I love it when you go all alpha female on me, catin.

I managed to convince Dante to sit down at the keyboard and share a few of thoughts on WereVampsRomance. There’s also a big giveaway–a signed set of all 4 Maker’s Song books, and three other winners get a signed book of their choice.
CONTEST ENDS AT 11:59 PM TONIGHT APRIL 2nd (Pacific Time)!
Here’s a taste of what’s simmering in Dante’s mind:
To celebrate the release of the fourth book in The Maker’s Song saga, Etched in Bone, I convinced the story’s badass and beautiful Dante Baptiste—Cajun, sexy frontman for Inferno, not to mention nightkind AND Fallen (provided I can get him to stop rolling his eyes and pretending to gag) to join y’all and discuss a few subjects close to his heart. And now I turn the blog over to Dante.
Merci beaucoup, but a simple “it’s all yours, asshole” woulda done for an intro. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Dante Baptiste, I live in New Orleans, and I’m the frontman for Inferno—among other things.
READ THE REST.

Athenna and Stephanie at Paranormal Haven managed to wrangle an interview with Dante and Heather! Here’s a taste:
Welcome to our interview. Dante does not normally do interviews so we are very lucky to have him here answering our questions. As an added bonus we are lucky enough to have Heather here to answer a few also. Ok, well lets let the fun begin.
Paranormal Haven: Lets start with you Dante. Lets talk about your music. How did you hook up with the other members of Inferno?
Dante: The usual way, with a good opening line and just the right amount of tongue during the kisses. Wait. You meant musically, yeah? *wicked grin* Y’all can disregard the other shit. Ain’t saying the kisses didn’t happen, but . . . I met Jack in a strip club on Bourbon Street when he was playing drums for a swamp rock band called Big Bull Gator. I really dug his drumming style, so I bought him a few drinks after the show and we talked. Turned out we had a lot of common interests, especially in music. READ THE REST . . .
