The Bearclaw brothers are descendants of the ancient Anikota tribe of Indians. Their beast spirit and blessing from the Maker allows them the ability to sense the one who would complete their soul. Being triplets, they always expected their mate to be one woman they'd share. With the Maker's blessing, they'll be able to ease past Gillian's defenses before her past threatens to end their future.
Molten Silver: m/m/m/f sexin'. The men are brothers, so there's no lovin' between them, but plenty showered on the heroine. Violence against the heroine from the bad guy. And did I mention hot m/m/m/f sexin?

About Celia Kyle
Celia would have loved to have written her own biography, but she just didn't know what to say. In a fit of desperation, she turned to me, her most trusted confidant and friend. I realize you're asking yourself, "Who is this?" I am Cali, her cat. I also go by a few other names, but those may be too strong for your delicate ears. Suffice it to say my mommy is very creative and not just with writing.
My mommy, Celia, began writing in August of 2006. I know this because it was around that time our meals started coming later and later in the day. As months passed, she spent more and more time in front of the boring screen. Though, it was fun to chase the little arrow around every once in a while. You should hear her scream! But I digress.
She's worked hard to give readers sexy, quirky heroines they can relate to. And you better damn well appreciate it. All I got was late night feedings. And I didn't even make it into one of her books by name! That damn kitten, Katie O'Meghan, did. Bitch.
Well, enjoy her writings and if you want to praise her for her work... don't. I'd like to get fed at some point, people.
Fine. If you must contact her, her website is at www.celiakyle.com or you can send an email to celia.kyle@gmail.com. But when I go hungry, I'll blame you all!

An Interview with Celia Kyle
By Holly Hewson, Marketing Director for The Romance StudioHH: Celia, welcome to TRS! Please tell us about your featured work, Battered, Not Broken. CK: Battered Not Broken is the first in a new shifter series that I've started at Liquid Silver Books. I take some of my favorite folk and fairy tales and add a shifty, quirky twist.
HH: You take on the subject of violence against women here. As a survivor of domestic violence and a reader, I really appreciated your sensitivity in handling this subject. What challenged did you face in that? CK: I found it difficult and often second guessed myself as I wrote. Constant worries of whether I was going too far or not going far enough. I hope that beneath the fun and sexin' readers find a tiny bit of inspiration and strength from Gillian.
HH: Where did you get the idea for the very sexy brothers? CK: The sexy brothers? They are courtesy of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
HH: What did you enjoy most about the creation of this story? CK: Having three hero's made for some interesting logistics when I was writing. Coming up with ways to get Gillian alone with the guys and getting intimate in that time had to be the most fun. Though, that's followed up closely by the appearance of Momma Bearclaw and the way she fussed at her three boys and her three husbands.
HH: What did you like best about Gillian? CK: Her strength. I created her to be strong enough to overcome and move past an abusive ex while also able to embrace not one, but three men.
HH: In a very short period of time, you've had several releases. Would you tell us about your latest ones? CK: I think that perhaps the publishing gods were messing with me as this past February, I had five releases. Five! I touted the month as Fivesome February and off I went promoting the heck out of everything. I released Battered Not Broken from Liquid Silver Books, as well as the following four stories:
Love Defined from Cobblestone Press - A curvy, clumsy chick who meets her match with a smokin' cold Snow Leopard.
Silk Panties from Aspen Mountain Press - A curvy chick who has a one night stand? Or is it?
Nipped from Changeling Press - A curvy cat shifter with OCD who finds love with two werewolves...
Are We There, Yeti? from Changeling Press - Sela and Yosi from Yeti! Were? return to chase away winter chills...
HH: You're also a cover artist. <g> Can you tell us about your work in this very important corner of the romance genre? CK: I'm currently doing freelance work as well as working with Phaze, Aspen Mountain Press and Red Rose Publishing. I love working with graphics when I'm not writing and making authors happy is an added bonus when it comes to creating covers. Being a writer as well as an artist seems to help me when it comes to interpreting other author's desires. Since, like any other author, I get writer's block occasionally... doing graphic work keeps my imagination going and doesn't make me feel like I'm wasting time in front of the computer. You can see some of my past covers at http://www.celiakyle.deviantart.com/gallery.
HH: Tough question. <g> There's been a lot said in our community recently about erotic romance. Some are even going so far as to call it "soft porn" and "purple prose". As an erotic romance writer, what's your reaction to these statements on a very popular genre? CK: Purple prose is offensive! Ack! Personally, everyone is going to have an opinion. Heck, I've got plenty. Purple prose? Hardly. I tend to think of purple prose as books you can buy at the grocery store. I joke with hubby and call them grocery romances. I can tell you now that you'll never see one of my books on the grocery store shelves. Ever. LOL And soft porn? There's nothing soft about some of the sexin' I write. True, depending on the author the level of romance may vary, but that shouldn't constitute a label such as "soft porn" or "purple prose". If there's a low level of romance, I'd call it erotica. No need to use such other dirty names. Yuck! Call my writing smut before you call is soft porn. Please?!
HH: What do you enjoy reading personally? CK: I love anything with a BBW heroine and shifters. Yum! Beyond that, I have pretty eclectic tastes. I'll read just about anything if it sounds good or I enjoy the author. Heck, one of my favorite authors is Julie Garwood. Julie! Write more historicals! Please! With or without the sexin', I love books with humorous characters and strong alpha heroes.
HH: Any vacation plans this year? CK: I've got one vacation planned to Hawaii. My parents recently moved to Oahu and I'm anxious to visit and see them. The sun and sand hold no appeal, of course.
HH: Thank you!
