The New Release in the Creatus Saga is Now Available!

For four thousand years, creatus elders have insisted that the creatus population concealed themselves from human beings because humans had hunted the creatus almost to extinction…

But one woman’s research reveals that when creatus first arrived on this planet, humans didn’t fear the alien beings that looked so much like the human race. That is, until the creatus started to breed with humans, creating a ferocious killer feared by humans and creatus alike. A creature so fierce that its legacy of death and destruction has fed nightmares for millennia. And now, a new breed of creatus has been born — or rather, reborn.

Vev, one of the first generations of creatus talis, finds herself torn between her younger family members and a forbidden love as she fights to save the young talis from being turned into a weapon — or worse, annihilation.

The Problem with Superheroes, Titans, Zombies, and Vampires…

Creatus Series by Carmen DeSousa - All Five Books

The Problem with Superheroes, Titans, Zombies, and Vampires…

Not that I have anything against any of the above entities, but only a select few of the books and movies with these preternatural sentient beings get it right.

Titans

They’d take out entire towns and demand sacrifices until a hero saved the day–usually, the god’s had to equip the champion, or the conqueror was part god in order to be able to conquer the typically enormous being with superior strength. Clash of the Titans

Superheroes

The good ones are okay, but what happens when they are under appreciated, or are just plain vicious. I.e. Superman Two, Megamind.

Zombies

Never understand how they take over the world unless the stories include airborne infections. I mean, really, haven’t you made your zombie apocalypse plan? I know my husband has… Get out! Seek water. Heck, we know what to do when a hurricane is coming. Stock up on batteries, bread, and milk, and seal up the house. World War Z.

Vampires

Only one vampire movie really got this one right, which leads up to my excerpt this week. Daybreakers. Have you seen it? Ugh! Gory, vicious, but it makes sense. In the second Twilight book, they tried to explain how the vampire elders stopped this from happening, but I think Daybreakers got it right. If you have a being that craves humans, has superhuman strength, and is immortal, face it; we don’t stand a chance.

Excerpt from Creatus

He stopped and glanced around the darkened park, thinking they should be getting home, but knew he needed to get to the scary part. The detail about his kind that fed the nightmares.

“We protect our own no matter what. Until there’s a rogue. As I said, we are mostly peaceful, but we do have our psychos, as humans do. The only problem is…when one of my kind is homicidal, they eat their victims.” She shuddered and he rushed to assure her. “Don’t get me wrong. We don’t crave humans. Humans don’t even smell like food. Believe me, if my kind really craved humans, the human race would have been extinct a long time ago.”

The Creatus Series is not your normal paranormal story…it’s a realistic twist of the myths you’ve heard your entire life. Prepare to believe…

“You gonna jumpstart me? I assure you, I don’t need a jumpstart” CREATUS ROGUE ~ New Release!

Creatus Rogue

Book Two in the Creatus Series

It’s difficult choosing an excerpt when you don’t want to give spoilers, so please forgive my use of pronouns. Over the next few weeks, I’ll try to find some fun excerpts. I hope you enjoy them. 🙂

If you haven’t read Book One in the Creatus Series, you can find more information, check out some of the reviews, and read a free sample on Amazon. Or, you can read two deleted scenes and the first chapter without leaving my website here.

Warning, Spoiler Alert Ahead!!!

~ Excerpt ~

She popped the trunk. She had to have something inside to
restrain him. She pulled out a pair of heavy-duty jumper cables and strolled
around to his side again.

“You gonna jumpstart me? I assure you, I don’t need a
jumpstart.”

She resisted laughing. For someone who thought they were
going to be killed, he sure made an awful lot of jokes.

Carefully, watchful of his dangerous, powerful legs, she
pressed her palms on his thighs and held him steady while she tied his feet
with the thick cords.

“You really are a dominatrix, aren’t you? I’m not usually
into that stuff, but okay.”

“Shut up.”

He faked a quiver. “Ooh…say it again.”

If you’ve read Creatus Book One, I’m sure you know these two characters. I hope you enjoyed the excerpt I chose and will look forward to their story. In the meanwhile, please get me those cover ideas. Y’all did an awesome job last time, so let’s do it again!

Spoiler Alert!!!

~ Excerpt ~

Deciding she needed exercise, she took the stairs to Derrick’s rooftop.

The wispy clouds she’d spied earlier had scattered, leaving a star-speckled canvas above her. She breathed in the cool night air and took off in a sprint across the top of the roof. The next building over was about ten
stories lower than this one. Luckily, she’d worn dark jeans and a black tank beneath her coat, so she didn’t stand out against the ink-black sky.

She hit the lower rooftop running, scattering up bits of gravel and dust, as she made for the other side. She’d made this run before, the night Kristina had gone missing
and she’d been trying to find Michael—the night she met Reece Buckley.

She leaped onto two more buildings, her breaths coming quicker, filling the air around her with white billowy puffs. Systematically,
she made a wide arc around Back Bay, skirting the Charles River, and then
making her way back to her car.

If you’ve read Creatus Book One, I’m sure you know this character. I hope you enjoyed the excerpt I chose and will look forward to book two.
