– Red Moon Romance (Eileen Wiedbrauk, Editor-in-Chief) has announced Demons, Imps, and Incubi, a romance anthology edited by Laura Harvey, is available in trade paperback and ebook today, Tuesday, June 23, 2015.
Demons, Imps, Incubi: dark, powerful, and forbidden. Only the foolish would seek one out for seduction, and yet . . . deals are struck. Souls are ensnared. But must a demon's agenda always be demonic? Can he be redeemed? Or does being bad feel too good to bother with redemption? Long ago, imps were more mischievous and playful--naughty, perhaps?—and perceptions of them have only grown more sinister over the centuries. The incubus craves sex, but what makes us crave him? Explore dark and sensual worlds with eight brand new stories of magic and seduction that will set you aflame by Cori Vidae, Alexa Piper, Erzabet Bishop, Mark Greenmill, Nicole Blackwood, J. C. G. Goelz, Jeffery Armadillo, and M. Arbroath.
Demons, Imps, and Incubi is available in trade paperback and ebook via Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, Kobo.com, and other online retailers, and for wholesale through Ingram. You can also find Demons, Imps, and Incubi on Goodreads.
Laura Harvey is an editor, writer, bibliophile, horsewoman, historian, teacher, debate coach, nerd, DIY junkie, and occasional rescuer of kittens. She holds a BA, MA, and is ABD, making her an exceptional asset in Trivial Pursuit. She loves reading so much that all of her handbags share one crucial ability: fitting a standard paperback or Kindle. She lives in northern California with a menagerie of beasts (dogs, cats, horses, and family members).
Red Moon believes in romance. We believe reading should be fun. We believe that at their core, romances are courtship stories, focused tightly on the emotions of the relationship. We don’t raise an eyebrow at any woman’s reading choices because we believe a woman deserves whatever fiction incites her passions. Whether a sweet fairy-tale ending or a scorching hot love affair, we believe in giving a woman what she wants. Hot romance, it's what we do.

What place do you think demons play in
human story-telling? Why do we continue to tell stories about monsters/creatures
with questionable morality?
MG: On one hand, we’re drawn to what we cannot have. There can
be something alluring about the darkness, and often we willingly step into
dangerous situations—or associate with the wrong kind of people—because we feel
the need to experiment, or explore, or taste forbidden fruit. Demons offer storytellers a method of
establishing clear morality at the beginning of the story: our society
understands that a demon is bad, and
from there, we can either challenge that idea, or use it as a baseline for
showing what represents good.

If you met your demon in a dark alley,
what are your chances of survival? What’s your best tactic for getting home
safely?
MG: Santorava is one tough dude that I wouldn’t want to mess
with. Especially if he thought I had something to do with stealing his
wife. My best option would be to run
like hell, and hope the moon came out before he caught me.

I think that depends on the demon, and
the story. Many demons are connected to religions and cultures, and they have
their own sets of rules and meanings. Some are meant as warnings, to try and
guide people away from paths that will lead to the destruction of self or
others. Some are more abstractly symbolic, and that’s where the plot of the
story is really more important in terms of learning. There are many other
instances where demons are just creatures, like any other animal or sentient
being, that fall outside the realm of earthly reality. They can be good, evil,
or a more familiar mix of the two, but with weird powers and awesome bodies.
Writing something so alien and connecting it to the human experience is a sort
of adventure.

Oh, I’d be fine. Benji’s not a
hard-ass unless he needs to be. As long as I hadn’t pissed off him or Kiki,
he’d probably ignore me – after making sure I wasn’t a thrall, or possessed by
an Ancient One. And I do try to avoid that sort of thing.

They arose out of our primordial
fears. Currently, I think they are useful vehicles that provide a distance from
reality that allow the writer to address issues that might otherwise be
uncomfortable, or see them from a different light.

Iris knew she had to fit into
society, so she didn’t go around doing things that would expose her nature. Her
mother, on the other hand, would be deadly.
