5 Things You Should Know About Riftsiders: Unlawful Possession


By Paul A. Destefano


 1)      My sales pitch was also the original plot hook: The lead couple meets at a support group for the possessed.


2)      Quirky/Horror/Romance/Comedy is a better genre for it than Urban Fantasy or Paranormal Romance, but that’s not a standard choice.


3)      It was supposed to be a stand-alone book, but the publishing editor encouraged tweaking it to kick off a series.


4)      It’s graphic. Violence, sex, all that stuff. Not for kids.


5)      The working title was Dark Partners, which referred to either the romantic leads Elkie and Enrique, or their relationship with their demons.


About the Author



Paul A. DeStefano 
and his wife live on Long Island, NY, with a strange menagerie that includes a dog, a few cats, sugar gliders, a bearded dragon, and several grown children that have not left.

After graduating from Hofstra University with a split degree in English and Acting, he worked in the board gaming and roleplaying industry for decades, including officially licensed projects for Star Trek and Lord of the Rings. He did not win the Origins Award for Best Miniatures Rules in 2004 and has forgotten that bitter defeat. When not playing and working on games, he is sometimes found touring internationally, giving lectures on worldbuilding and character design.

Being a professional full-time blacksmith for several years made him realize how much less painful it was to go back to writing. He’s been lucky enough to hold the Top Humor Writer badge at Medium multiple times and has had his work narrated by James Cosmo (Lord Mormont from Game of Thrones) on multimillion-dollar Kickstarter projects.

It is also worth noting that having never taken any bassoon lessons, he still cannot play one.

His latest book is the urban fantasy/paranormal romance novel, RIFTSIDERS: UNLAWFUL POSSESSION.

Author: Paul A. Destefano
Publisher: Wild Rose Press
Genre: Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance

BOOK BLURB:

Enrique Marin wants a quiet life after the death of his wife. Just one problem stands in the way–he’s possessed by the misanthropic English demon, Tzazin. A violent night under demonic influence accidentally leads Enrique to love, and it’s anything but quiet. Shy, autistic yoga instructor Elle thought allowing herself to be possessed by the very-not-shy sex demon Key would help her find love. She finds Enrique, but she didn’t count on coping with the anti-demon bigotry of society. Fate–and AA meetings for the possessed–brings them together, but hostile forces, demonic and human, fight to keep them apart. It might cost them everything to keep their love alive.
