title: Blood, Pain, and Pleasure: A Tales of Blood and Magic Novel (Volume 1)
author: Nadine Mutas
description: Polyglot Nadine Mutas has always loved tangling with words, whether in her native tongue German or in any of the other languages shes acquired over the years. The more exotic, the better, she thought, and thus she studied the cultures and languages of South Asia and Japan, leaving university with a degree in intercultural communication and a head full of rich, Asian mythology. She worked at a translation agency for a short while, putting to use her knowledge of English, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Hindi. Before long, though, her lifelong passion for books and words eventually drove her to give voice to those story ideas floating around in her brain (which have kept her up at night and absent-minded at inopportune times). She now writes paranormal romances with wickedly sensual heroes and the fiery heroines who tame them. Her debut novel, Blood, Pain, and Pleasure, won the Golden Quill 2016 for Paranormal, and is a finalist in the PRISM contest for Dark Paranormal and Best First Book, the Published Maggie Awards 2016 for Paranormal, and the Passionate Plume contest 2016. It also won several awards for excellence in unpublished romance. Nadine currently resides in Oregon with her college sweetheart, beloved little demon spawn, and two black cats hellbent on cuddling her to death (Clarification: Both her husband and kid prefer her alive. The cats, shes not so sure about.) Nadine Mutas is a proud member of: Romance Writers of America (RWA) Rose City Romance Writers (RCRW) Greater Seattle Romance Writers (GSRW) Fantasy, Futuristic &amp; Paranormal Romance Writers (FF&amp;PRW)
