About Me


READ THE FIRST CHAPTER

My debut novel, A RUSH OF WINGS, came out January 2008 and the second book in the series, IN THE BLOOD, will be released January 2009.
"Hard-charging action sequences, steamy sex scenes, and a surprising government conspiracy make this debut, the
first in a series, engrossingly fun."
--Entertainment Weekly
"Sharp, wicked, and hot as sin."
-- Marjorie M. Liu, New York Times bestselling
author of THE IRON HUNT
"...a dark, rich, sensual treat, where heroes and
villains alike are fascinating and three-dimensional. Adrian Phoenix uses a perfect blend of suspense, romance, and lyrical prose to keep readers up until late, late at night turning pages. I can't wait to read more about
Dante and about the complex, multifaceted world in which he lives."
-- Jenna Black, author of THE DEVIL YOU KNOW
"This one pulled me in from the first page.
Heather and Dante are among those rare
characters readers so often look for and seldom
find."
-- Barb Hendee, bestselling coauthor of TRAITOR TO THE BLOOD

My Interests

I love to read and I listen to music constantly. I like to sit(with earbud-directed music pulsing into my ears) and watch people. I have a t-shirt that reads: "I love poetry, long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick." That sums me up. And I LOVE movies!

Movies:

I'm a romantic so I love movies of honor, love, sacrifice and redemption. I want to be moved emotionally, to ache, to wish I could be a hero worthy of a heroic musical score. I also love dark humor, entertain me! Some of my favorites are: Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Lord of the Rings, Desperado, Last of the Mohicans, The 13th Warrior (I sense a theme...lol), The Crow, Moulin Rouge, Shaun of the Dead, Army of Darkness, Night at the Roxbury, Galaxy Quest. Oh! And my new fav is WANTED!!

Television:

Right now I'm into Supernatural, Most Haunted, The Office, My Name is Earl, CSI (the original), The Shield, The Sara Conner Chronicles ummm...been too busy writing. Yay for the DVR!

Books:

I ADORE books! If I was a cat, I'd purr and rub my face against my books then roll all over them, very content! When I hold a book in my hands, I hold endless possibilities, new worlds, some very dark and very strange, some horrifying, others heartbreaking. A book feels sure and solid in my hands, a lifeline when I'm slipping beneath reality's dark tide...I loved the first three or four of Anne Rice's VAMPIRE CHRONICLES, then she lost her mind and/or found God and everything went downhill.LORD OF THE DEAD, a captivating read about Lord Byron transformed into a vampire while in Turkey during the early 1800s. Wow!!THE ALIENIST by Caleb Carr.WICKED GAME by Jeri Smith-Ready.There are tons of others. I'll add them as I think of them!

Heroes:

John Keats, Stephen King, Trent Reznor, Mary Shelley, Edward Norton, Anyone who has the courage to be true to themselves and their visions. Even in the face of derision and contempt.
