I like skulls. Why? Good one. To me, they look like they're smiling at death. I like taking pictures of odd things and cemeteries. And of course, writing, art, and theater.

You are Professor Snape Head over Slytherin. You are cunning and willing to use any means to achieve your goals. You try to be kind, but it always turns out being mean. You can be sarcastic and obnoxious to your friends, and don't enjoy social time.
About me: I'm an author, digital artist, and book cover designer for Jaded Silence Press. I listen to quite a variety of bands. I get a lot of inspiration for my writing during night. Halloween is my absolute favorite time of year.
Those that know me really well, know I'm a VERY eclectic person. I also don't take people's bullshit or their petty/whiny/'I'm-better-than-you'/power-tripping/knuckle-dragging attitudes. Leave it at the door. Better yet, don't even bother knocking!

TOP ROW, FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:
Kiera Bracy: Age--19. Bright, cheerful, quick witted and spunky, she has been part of Ryan's Abraxas vampire clan for little over a year. She is creative, magically inclined, and a faithful friend to Christine. On her flipside, she can get overly emotional and confused if she becomes too stressed or under pressure.
Edward Schaffer: Age--21. A bit quiet until he gets to know someone, he can be fun and wisecracking at times. Artistically talented, he also has been a part of Ryan's clan for as long Kiera. He went to the same art school as she before they became vampires. On his flipside, he can be a betrayer of his own feelings, and untrusting of those who use his weakness to their advantage.
Kurt McPherson: Age--23. Very extroverted, candid and friendly, he works in a nightclub in downtown Philadelphia. He doesn't like negative confrontations...or zombies. However, he has developed some very creative 'torturing skills'. On his flipside, if he gets scared too quickly, he can be of no help to anyone, including himself.
Christine Vargas: Age--33. Tough yet gentle, and emotionally complex, she still is trying to come to terms with her newfound vampiric abilities, as well as her growing feelings for Ryan. She is a muser, cherishes moments of serenity, but might be considered a worrier by some. On her flipside, she can be ruthless, distant, and very unforgiving of anyone if done wrong by them.
Ryan Price: Age--53. A self-made businessman, he’s a gentleman, very romantic, generous, thoughtful, and also private. He is deeply in love with Christine, but sometimes his affections and occasional forwardness makes her nervous. On his flipside, he can be very conniving, emotionally dark, possessive, and even a bit lustful.
SECOND ROW, FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:
Dr. Joseph Luo: Age-- 40. Doctor at Jefferson Hospital in downtown Philadelphia.
Grant O'Riley: Age--40. Councilman in City Hall.
Derrick Banks: Age--41. Councilman in City Hall.
Rebecca Stoltz: Age--20. (Human) intern at Jefferson Hospital, and friend of Kiera's. She does not know of Kiera's circumstances, as Kiera keeps to the 'secrecy' code of the clan.
Dennis de la Vega: Age--18. A vamp fledgling, he suffered from chronic depression after both his parents died in a automobile accident. Extremely shy, Kiera takes him under her wing. A budding artist, he wants to go back to school.
THIRD ROW, FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:
Jonathan Gianni: Age--19. Quirky Goth kid. Loves wearing black. A big fan of "A Clockwork Orange" and "The Crow", he sports eye tattoos of the main characters. Often feels lost in a world that left him behind years ago, and expresses himself in the most strangest ways imaginable, not to mention having a few strange phobias.
Dino Johnson: Age--19. Very creative young man who likes acting, hanging out in clubs for inspiration, and making things out of 'nothing'. Often feels like no one understands him Sometimes likes to get under Jonathan's skin on occasion because of Jonathan's eccentricity, which causes Kurt to keep him in check.
Kim Young: Age--20. Very in-tune with his surroundings and the earth. Sometimes has premonitions, but is very superstitious, which makes him second guess himself at times.
MORE REVIEWER COMMENTS~~~~~
"This is an engrossing and often extremely violent tale...The characters are well written and come to life on the page, and there is a great deal of action throughout the tale, as well as a moving love story." ~Maura, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance
"My first thoughts of this book; absolutely, freaking amazing. I was hooked from page one and sad to see it end when I got to the last page. I am so glad that Cinsearae Santiago is planning on a fourth novella. This is a book that I plan on reading again and again just because it is that good. This is definitely a book for someone who is in touch with their bad side, and can appreciate the sexy, gothic side to life. I absolutely loved the characters. I think Christine and Ryan were sexy, sensual, powerful, and very appropriate for their positions. I loved the description of their love scenes. If you are someone who is not afraid to read spicy material and allow your blood to heat up, then get cozy and read this book!"-- Ashley Merrill, Reviewer for FrontStreetReviews.com
"Ms. Santiago adds a few new twists to the ever popular vampire genre and gives it a unique spin all its own. The way the story ends is a total surprise and very creative if not macabre." ~Rachel, Reviewer for BittenByBooks.com
"Each book builds in intensity until the story explodes off the page and makes you eager for more...Romance is mingled with suspense and creepy situations, making this a gripping read. Sinister and attention grabbing, The ABRAXAS Series will definitely keep you entertained." ~Margaret Marr, Reviewer for Nights and Weekends
"An engaging and supernatural tale. Exotic and erotic." ~Mario Acevedo, author of "The Undead Kama Sutra"
"The ABRAXAS Series is, to me, a fresh, new spin on the Vampire Legends; it is a humorous fast paced collection of stories that far surpasses some of the Vampiric novels I've read in recent times." ~Carrie White, Writer and Reviewer for FourStarRating.zxq.net
"These days, the world appears virtually awash in vampire tales, so many of them of-a-piece that sometimes it’s hard to remember if you’ve read the story before! Consequently, it’s not just a relief but a true joy to read Cinsearae Santiago’s unique ABRAXAS series. Her protagonist Christine Vargas is sharp and sassy and tells it like it is, even though she is caught in a world of darkness. Christine is a refreshing no-nonsense character, afraid of neither the living nor the undead, and full of down-to-earth integrity. If you love your vampire fiction full of conflict and romance, I recommend that you give the ABRAXAS books a read."
~Nancy Kilpatrick, Author of "The Power of the Blood" series and "The Goth Bible"
Who I'd like to meet: Just good, intelligent, like-minded people that share similar interests in the goth/vampiric culture, other fellow writers, and folks that just want to say 'hi'. Closed-minded idiots need to stay away. You'll simply be ignored. I have no time for the asinine crap.

DIVINITAS by Laura Tolomei NOW AVAILABLE at eXtasy Books www. extasybooks. com Through time and space, there's a lot of love. But love gone wrong can turn to betrayal and seal one's destiny forever. And destiny has the bad habit of repeating its pattern lifetime after lifetime as two men, caught in their passionate love, struggle eternally in quest of the divine. From the ancient walls of Egypt, Us-Yri's sexual obsession for Set gets in the way of his destiny to ascend from ruler to god of the underworld. His Spirit returns as Mitra, Prince of the ancient Persian Empire, to continue on struggling against his lust for Vayu to become the new shiny god of rebirth. But only Shaun and Halifax in Celtic England will finally reveal the truth about Divinitas
You ever wrote those kind of stories and thought, "Shit they are going to really hate me for writing this?" I got a few stories like that brewing right now that are going to be very dark. One's a contemporary fiction story, and the other is an urban fantasy tale. Think every time a fan fiction writer pens a story and bastardizes an idea of the original writer, and that world awakened as a Pandora's Box. None of these stories are erotic in nature, but ideologically sensitive.
It's here! My first shapeshifter book, Scorpio Risen, part of the Dark Tarot line by Tease Publishing is available at All Romance eBooks!
Deylen Troika is the new Alpha of the Centruroides clan of scorpion shifters and the owner of a toxicology lab to appear legitimate amongst mortals. Forced to hire a new employee for his lab, Deylen has to go outside of his clan to find someone with the qualifications. He can't help but notice his new employee Seneca McLane is stunningly beautiful. If only her personality wasn't so abrasive. If only she wasn’t mortal…
Deylen uncovers a secret Seneca harbors, bringing them closer together, more closer than he would have imagined. It also puts his own secret in danger of being discovered.
When a rival clan challenges Deylen for the city, Seneca is caught up in to a world she knows nothing about. Can Deylen keep his clan affairs separate and protect her innocence or will she become an unwitting pawn in the fight for supremacy amongst the arachnid shifters?
