Heya Lovelies,
“None of what happened was your fault,” the vampire’s baritone, melodic voice said. “You are so much more than what happened to you.”

Heya Lovelies,
Best advice I’ve received: storytelling is like transcribing — be true to the story, and keep writing.
My best advice for writers: if you love it, don’t give up. No matter how talented you are, there’s always room to grow and learn, so keep going.

Heya Lovelies,
Dreamless sleep was like being lost in oblivion. But it wasn’t frightening or terrible by any
means. It was a dark place that played like a lullaby without sound. It was a slow beating of the heart, contentment, free from thought or stress.

Heya Lovelies,
While the story follows Zoe (the majority of the book is from her first-person perspective) and the story itself is driven by outside forces (read: not the romance) the character that truly supports her is Vlad.
But if we’re getting technical and excluding him, I would say that Aisling, Marcy, and Angela are tied for the best supporting character. Each are there for Zoe when she needs them — and that’s not something she takes for granted.

Heya Lovelies,
First is a lesson from a writer’s perspective. In this book, since the infamous Dracula was such an important role, I did my best to weave real historical events into the story, only adding my own bits here and there — especially when it came to the relative unknowns in the man’s life. I found it so enjoyable that I began toying with the idea of doing more with a trilogy anthology to cover some of the series’s big events and how they work in tandem with the truth.
The second is that Zoe’s story is relatable to many. The selfless sacrifices she was forced to make in an effort to protect the people she cared about was used against her time and time again. It broke her. Leaving her with nothing but doubts and hesitations. Through careful guidance, she struggles to come to terms with her life and stop letting her past affect her present and future. Perseverance and hope are powerful tools.

Heya Lovelies,
Connor’s entire aura shifted to red and he
straightened, eyes still fixated on my mouth. He took a deep breath and slowly looked back up at my eyes. “And stop doing that,” he growled.

Heya Lovelies,
When I’m reading, I tend to get lost in the story — especially if the narration perspective is first person. And because of that, I often find myself feeling everything emotionally. So when there’s a heartbreaking tragedy, my heart breaks, too. That’s why I prefer happy endings, because otherwise I’ll be left feeling that tragedy for days.

Heya Lovelies,
I ducked to avoid the fist hurtling toward me. As it flew a mere inch over my head, I reached up, hooking my hand around the limb doing its best impression of a deadly projectile. My fingers gripped the muscled forearm, just beneath the elbow and twisted to keep it in my
hold.
Taking advantage of the opening, my free hand shot out in response. An instant before
my knuckles could impact my opponent’s side, just beneath the ribs, I relaxed my fist and instead slid my palm across it before spinning away.
My opponent twisted in the opposite direction as I released my grip, dropping low to
knock my feet out from beneath me with a powerful swing of the leg. I danced over the
onslaught, escaping the blow by millimeters.
As soon as I took flight, I knew I miscalculated my leap.
