The Indie Wednesday Spotlight this month is on the bodacious Victoria Danann. Victoria has authored thirteen novels in the paranormal and contemporary romance genre. Her paranormal series, Knights of the Black Swan, has won Best Paranormal Romance Series three years running by the The Paranormal Romance Guild.
As a lover of all things paranormal and urban fantasy, I am stoked to try out this new-to-me indie author and see what kind of freaky imagination she has! From what I hear, she has some hot and hunky heroes and strong relatable heroines. I am so happy to welcome this author to the blog today... let's find out a little more about her, shall we?

Excerpt
8 years earlier
Dandy and Crave had
taken the hike up the western mountain to the waterfall pool. Everyone knew
where it was, but few people went because the effort to get there was worth
mention.
The pool was small,
only fifteen feet across, but the water was beautiful and clear. It was also
cold since it began its journey higher up as snow melt. Crave thought it was
the prettiest spot in the world, surrounded by pink granite outcroppings,
aspens and evergreen trees.
They’d removed
their clothes and jumped in, Dandy shrieking about the cold while he pretended
to be immune and laughed at her. They swam and splashed, but after a time ended
up kissing and exploring each other’s postpubescent bodies.
In many ways Dandy
thought those first shy touches were the most erotic things that would ever
happen to her. It was then and there that Crave had also declared.
“I love you, Dandy.
You’re my Promise.”
She laughed. “You
can’t just say I’m your Promise, Crave. You have to ask me. Don’t you know
that?”
He looked a little
hurt, but started again. “Dandelion. I love you. Are you going to be my Promise
or not?”
“I will.” She
smiled showing off her white teeth. Then she grew serious as a thundercloud.
“But I’d better never catch you with another female.”
Crave was offended
at the suggestion. Even in his fantasies, the only female he could imagine
mounting was Dandelion. “I wouldn’t do that.” Understanding flitted across his
boyish features as he considered the implications and his expression changed to
a look of worry. “Same for you. Right? No other males.”
Dandy smiled a
perfectly coy female smile and drew closer. “I would never, Crave,” she
breathed. “You’re my Promise.”
His forehead
smoothed as he relaxed then promptly dunked her under with a mischievous grin.
