Spotlight on
Alexandra Ivy:
I'm not exactly sure when I fell in love with
books. Probably on my mother’s knee listening to her read Dr.
Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to
cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the
local library. Could anything be more wonderful than spending
summer days surrounded by stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over
the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha
Christie, and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry,
essays, biographies, and plays. In fact, I read anything I
could get my hands on.
Years later (no, I’m not admitting how
many) I’m still an avid reader, and my tastes are still as
varied as they were in my youth, which I suppose helps to
explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name
of Deborah Raleigh, as well as my contemporary paranormals as
Alexandra Ivy. For now that is enough to keep me busy, but who
knows what the future might hold!
I do have a few other loves in my life
besides reading and writing, the most important being my
unbelievably patient husband, David, and my two sons, Chance and
Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me, I
never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly
my heroes.
NovelTalk asks
Alexandra: What prompted you to write this story?
Darkness Everlasting is book three in my Guardians of Eternity series. I’ve always loved the paranormal, especially Buffy, but my writing career was in historicals so when I started writing the first book (When Darkness Comes) it was just a whim and I didn’t really think about trying to get it published until it was nearly finished. It was my editor’s idea to turn the book into a series, and I’m so happy he did!! These books have been such a pleasure to write, I can only hope that the readers have as much fun as I do!

Darkness Everlasting
by Alexandra Ivy Two
men...one desires her love...the other her life...
Darcy Smith always sensed she was different from everyone
else—if only she knew how different. Possessing a secret
strong enough to end an entire race of demons, Darcy
unwittingly becomes a pawn in an epic battle between the
vampires and the Weres as she discovers a new world filled
with ecstasy—and dark passions.
Consumed with lust for Darcy, Styx—the Anasso of
vampires—will do everything in his powers to keep her out of
the lair of Salvatore Giuliani, the deadly leader of the Weres. But protecting the woman he loves could cost Styx the
ultimate price...
Salvatore Giuliani knows time is running out for the Weres.
Pushed to the brink of extinction, he will stop at nothing
to make Darcy his ultimate conquest and queen—for she alone
holds the key to his survival.
But which of these men can Darcy trust? For all it takes is
one bite to plunge her into a lifetime of servitude—or a
lifetime of pleasure.
Succumb to eternal passion.
