My Hostage: My Love
The ‘Devil’ is dead but his deeds live on in the form of his Advocate. Sometimes, its better to face the devil himself than his protégé.

On Swift Wings
I was once the right hand of Death, but my Mercy is now dead. I don’t care what happens in Hell now. I live in the Light with a creature of power who has given me something I have always coveted. He returns my love and he has given me a name. That should be enough for a demon like me. I shouldn’t yearn for Mercy.

Cake: A Blood Nation Story (March 2010) (preview chapter) (reviews - coming soon!)
To be loved by a vampire… I've been called many names in my day. Most of them weren't flattering but they were true. I was a right unholy bastard. Eighteen months ago, I was a fat, nasty, legally blind, computer programmer who decided to try his chubby hand at industrial espionage. I wasn't good at it. I caught the attention of a Vampire Assassin, Marcus.

He was just supposed to kill me; but he wanted me instead. I became his toy for a year. During which time he reshaped my body; fixed my vision and broke me psychologically into three pieces. On the anniversary of my kidnapping, he gave me the choice to become an equal or remain a toy. Little did we know that he would never be my equal.

It turns out that I was the last of the lost Blue Bloodline of the Royal House. A genetic hybrid hidden within the human race -- Xavier Von Drachenfeld, Lord Emperor of the Vampire Nation. Then we start to find out why there are no Blue bloods left in the Vampire world.

Bio

Greetings, gentle readers. My name is Derekica Snake aka kiix. This is the part where I write about myself. It is harder than it looks. It is so much easier to write about fictional characters…hummm. Wait. I have a light blub moment.

On a dark and quiet evening in the month of April, a little girl child came into the world in St. Joesph General Hospital. Upon seeing the little girl with the little curl in the middle of her forehead, the father was heard to remark…why does she have red hair? At that moment I’ve been known as the milkman’s kid, oops, I meant she’s been known as the milkman’s kid. See, this is why I write in first person. If it works for you, stick with it.

My favorite book was “Green eggs and ham”. Apparently my mother got so annoyed with me reciting it that it accidently on purpose got tossed out the window of a moving car. So I guess I started writing my own stories once I was taught to print. I’ve always loved writing fiction. In elementary and secondary school we were required to keep a journal. I didn’t want to. I love to write but not about myself. I just wrote little ideas down and handed them in. I graduated so I guess it was good.

I thought I was in deep fascination with a boy in grade seven who was very into Star Trek. I had no clue what he was talking about so I started learning about Star Trek and now it was what was his name? Sci-fi segued into Fantasy and from there I never looked back. I was a big Star Wars geek (pre-episode 1) and wrote pastiche Han Solo adventures as a teenager.

My writing began to lean towards my current selection of offerings. I initially was a little distressed. I thought I was off – way off. I was uncomfortable with the content and toned it down or cut it out completely on second draft attempts. However, it kept cropping back up and I thought I was going to have to pull my hair out to make it stop but then…on May 6, 2006 at 9:15 a.m. I discovered “Ai No Kusabi” on youtube.

That was also the same time that I realized that what I had been writing and hiding away for years had a name. Yaoi. If it had a name others were reading and writing it so I wasn’t the lone pervert out in the world. I took my hands out of my hair and put my fingers on the keyboard and embraced the world of Yaoi.

It only took me six months to figure out how to start posting stories on the Internet on www.adultfanfiction.net. It wasn’t long before I moved from writing AnK fan fiction to posting my own original Yaoi writing under the pseudonym kiix.

I started writing daily. I found a continuing education course on Professional Creative Writing in a local city and started taking courses. There were some tips and facts that were good but the social networking was the key. It was after this that I started actively exploring getting my works published. That expensive piece of paper honed my confidence enough to start sending out queries and posting my first drafts right to the net.

While I had to pony up time and money to self publish once the rejection e-mails came in, I didn’t mind. I think it was the start of something good. I think? I know it was the start of something good.

Welcome to my version of the world of Yaoi. I look forward to leaving my touch in your mind.

Fan Reviews of My Books

I absolutely love reviews. I have referred to myself as a glory hound. Writing is such an insular activity and over the years I have discovered that I am not as anti-social as I thought I was.

Any review is testament to your words reaching out and touching someone. It’s so much better when it’s a glowing review offering reader insight and opinion but even something that says ‘you rock’ is cool. Even if the review is negative, something can be gleaned from it. However if it is something like, ‘you suck’ but without specifics, the suckage will continue.

Other Hobbies

Sewing
Rock Banding and Guitar Heroing

Other Hobbies blurb:

When I’m not typing like a maniac on the keyboard, I can be found in the kitchen sewing up a storm. Unlike writing it is not a compulsion but I find it to be a stress reliever.

In the later part of September and October I can be found running around a haunted forest making kids cry. It’s fun and I get paid! This is were sewing comes in to help out. I make my own costumes throughout the year when there are fabric sales so when the Haunting time comes around, I’ve got a cool costume and it didn’t cost as much as the prepackaged stuff in the stores.

If I don’t want to write and I don’t want to sew, I only have four channels on TV so I pull out Rockband and Guitar Hero. My guitar skills are lacking but man, I can play the drums like no bodies business. Yes, I know it’s not a real musical skill but it’s fun.
