Writer and Reviewer

About Me

I've loved reading since I was four years old. As much as I've loved reading, I've loved talking about books and telling people what I think about them.

Horror is, of course, my genre of choice. I write just about everything now. All my books are available at Tease Publishing

At the moment I'm a student at Art Institute Online. I have an online portfolio up at Ash Arceneaux's Deviant Art

I also run a review website with the lovely Stella Price. WWW.ror-reviews.com. Rites of Romance Reviews We're getting huge, people! Thanks to all you readers and authors!

A Year of You (romantic suspense)

The con was supposed to be simple: Get in, get the money, get out. But when Mattie meets the family that rejected her as an infant, she becomes tangled in a dark family mystery that someone will kill to keep unsolved. As she struggles to earn the reward offered to her by her wealthy maternal grandmother, her past threatens to destroy the tentative new life she is trying to build with West, a passionate, moody family friend. To save the man she loves, she has to reveal everything. But revealing her past will cost her everything. Mattie must make a choice, one that will either kill her or turn her into the very thing she hates the most. Will she choose her past...or her future?

Swamp Baby (Horror/romance-- 1st in a series, available in print as well as e-format!)

A cursed swamp. A psychotic ex. And three hungry cannibals. What's a girl to do?

The swamp has haunted Suwannee all her life. The deadly siren song reverberates through her life, tweaking the delicate strands of her psyche.

As her relationship with her best friend moves to a new level, her relationship with her ex-husband takes a horrible turn when he makes contact with a malicious entity in the swamp.

Before he can act on his heinous plan to sacrifice her to his swamp goddess, Suwannee learns the hard way that something far worse dwells in the swamp.

Muse (paranormal romance-- releasing October 15 from TEase Publishing!)

Leah and Miguel have been separated for ten years, after the birth and adoption of their child when they were just teenagers. Reunited, they discover their psychic bond is as strong as ever. Miguel is now a troubled artist, and Leah is struggling to make a life for herself.

As they decide to resume their turbulent, passionate romance, Miguel summons his Muse, a seductive spirit that haunts their home. After several violent, bloody attacks, Leah learns very quickly that his Muse is not all he claims she is, and that the vindictive spirit will stop at nothing to possess Miguel. To save him, Leah must sacrifice everything.

If any of my books sound interesting, check out Tease Publishing or my website, Adra Steia Books for excerpts.


My Interests

Writing. Art. Music. Books. Books. Books.

I'd like to meet:

Writers, artists, musicians, Fellow AIOnline students!...yadda yadda yadda.I do not want to meet spammers. If you are a reader just discovering my fabulous literary masterpieces (LOL), MESSAGE me first. Unless you send me a message or have a BOOK COVER or some other idustry-related graphic as your photo, I won't add you. Sorry, spambots and hot local singles looking for a hookup via some credit-card-scam chatline, I am not into amatuer Myspace porn.Stone Sour - Through Glass

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Music:

Breaking Benjamin, Hinder (OMG love them), Flyleaf, Crossfade, Linkin Park.... I can't name them all. If you listen to 101.1 in central FL, then we'll be good friends LOL. BAsically, I love rock and alternative. Evenaescence, Panic At the Disco, Ok Go, Hello Goodbye, 30 Seconds to Mars (MARRY ME, JAROD!!!! I'LL BE YOUR LOVE SLAVE!!!), Evans Blue, Slipknot, Mudvayne... the list goes on and on and on

Movies:

I LOVE movies. I would spend my life in a movie theater if I was able to. I don't like sports/war movies and I generally spend more time making fun of chick-flicks than actually watching them. I'm not a good person to see a movie with because I tend to overanalyze and make fun of way too much stuff.

Television:

I absolutely love apocalyptic and anti-Christ-prophecy-being-fulfilled typed shows. American Gothic and Carnivale are two of my faves!My Name is Earl, The Office, Scrubs, ER, 30 Rock, KNights of Prosperity, Heroes. Used to like Lost, but they sort of ruined it with the Others. ANd I tend to spend more time lstening to my neighbors argue and throw things at the walls. Lots of fun. They have interesting fights.

Books:

All books, just about. I read way too much, way too fast.

Heroes:

Jesus, cuz he's cool.
