 1) Tell us about your book Illusion at Midnight is about a vampire named Andre who is constantly searching for his lost love Victoria each time she is reincarnated. In each life, he has to remind her who she is, which is his former wife from centuries ago. Each time, he can’t bring himself to turning her into a vampire or she refuses. Well this time, it’s now or never. Victoria, now known as Lily in this modern day, is a witch and expected Andre’s arrival. What she doesn’t know is this is the last life and she will not be reincarnated again, fully moving on to the beyond. Andre begins courting her, and starts to run out of time when a devastating hurricane comes to their small town, forcing him and Lily to make the decision of becoming immortal to stay together forever, or letting her die and move on. 2) Do your vampires have any special abilities? Other than the fact he’s immortal, not really. Although he’s become very savvy at money and investments over the centuries, and won’t glitter-bomb or die in the sun. 3) Vampires vs werewolves – who would win and why? Vampires. Totally. Werewolves to a point have many weaknesses depending on lore. You can do the whole silver bullet route, killing them as a human, yada yada. I think it’s much easier for a vampire because they can sort of hide in plain sight among humans more easily than a werewolf can. 4) Who is your favorite vampire on TV or in books? MAAM. Asking me that question, lol. It’s Spike from Buffy and always will be. that man will forever hold my heart since watching him as a child and getting me into the world of vampires. 5) Tell us what is next for you as an author Well, it’s a lot. I’m currently writing a PNR romcom deal about a Revolutionary War solider who becomes human again after being a ghost for centuries and needs to navigate life. But I have also 3 other anthologies due this year dealing with a sex-crazed gifted LGBTQ+ witch with healing powers through sexual favors, the sequel to Music of Seduction with Darius and Harmony, and my first spicy western Christmas romance dealing with a German shepherd rodeo man and a badass woman who has total Beth Dutton vibes.  Ashley Brion’s ancestors hail from France and England and she has earned 3 degrees (BA, MA, and MFA) in English and Creative Writing. She is a cosplayer, college professor, actress, American Civil War reenactor, and gamer in her free time. She enjoys spending time with her firefighter husband and her pets.

 1) Tell us about your book
This is the first book in an upcoming series. The main character, Roni, is a half vampire who goes looking for a vampire who tortured her. She wants revenge for what he did. She finds him at a supernatural academy that takes in vampires and necromancers. It does not go as she expected... 2) Do your vampires have any special abilities? She is actually weaker than other vampires because she is only a half vampire, but she can walk in the sun while they cannot. She does age, but very slowly. 3) Vampires vs werewolves – who would win and why? I am a huge fan of werewolves, I write about them all the time, but it probably depends on what kind of abilities the vampires have. So I'd have to say it depends on the circumstances. 4) Who is your favorite vampire on TV or in books? I love Damon Salvatore, even if he is evil most of the time! 5) Tell us what is next for you as an author I have been working on completing a series and after that I will be starting something new. My new series will have a fox shifter and a witch with unusual powers.  STUFF YOUR E-READER DAY - SEPT 5th!

Lines get blurred when a vampire starts to fall for the hunter who killed his brother. Will he rip her heart out, or give her his? 2) Do your vampires have any special abilities? They can smell lust and love. 3) Vampires vs werewolves – who would win and why? Ahhhh. This is an unfair question since I’m a paranormal author who writes both species. I couldn’t possibly answer this question . . . Whispers, “Vampire because they’re stronger, faster, and sexier.” 4) Who is your favorite vampire on TV or in books? Zsadist! He stole my heart in Lover Awakened: Black Dagger Brotherhood series Book 3 by JR Ward. 5) Tell us what is next for you as an author I’m currently focusing on writing as many books as I can! I also have two upcoming signing events.  Dreaming of becoming a vampire, I mean author, since she was a youngling, PS Nail finally fulfilled her prophecy by self-publishing her first paranormal fantasy romance novel, with many more to come.
She enjoys playing guitar to soothe the draw of the moon, video games to help pacify her blood lust, reading romance and smut books, since she never sleeps, and having a fangtastic time with paranormal friends. Once a month, when the full moon calls, she and her coven dance naked around a magical blazing fire . . . but don’t tell her we told you. We think she currently lives in the United States, or possibly Romania, with her shifter husband, three hybrid sons, and their pet demons. She lovingly calls them her immortal family. She will continue to quench her thirst for writing until death, dismissal, or dishonor. FYI: She hates the sun, but loves garlic.  1) Tell us about your book
Under Fire is the first book in the series and features an amnesiac dragon shifter and the vampire who saved her life. She wakes up in a graveyard with no memory of her life and Victor, the vampire, feeds her his blood to save her life. But can she trust him? 2) Do your vampires have any special abilities? They can walk in the sun, but not for very long as it does hurt and weaken them. He is fast and his blood can heal people. 3) Vampires vs werewolves – who would win and why? I think that werewolves have the brute strength and the big teeth, so probably them. 4) Who is your favorite vampire on TV or in books? Ooh that's a hard one. I think the vampire that I like the most is Angel from Buffy. I loved that show and it was a very interesting take on vampires at the time. Although I do love Spike too. 5) Tell us what is next for you as an author I am working on a new series called Grimm Descendant which features a magical library. There will be six books in the series. It is going to be a lot of fun to write because it will deal with fairytales and the world of books. Two of my favorite subjects.  1) Tell us about your book I write the venomous vampire series ALMOST HUMAN. The series is being written as 4 trilogies – there are currently 8 books published and book 9 will be out early next year! https://amzn.to/3RiXHIW https://amzn.to/4bPqWLI 2) Do your vampires have any special abilities? My vampires wield an addictive narcotic venom in their bite, which territorially marks their victims, and gives them a heightened perception of the vampire who marked them, along with other urges… The vampire breed wars wiped out most of the elders, and the talent unique to each breed has become lost knowledge. However, claims of telepathy, mind-control, heightened speed and strength, levitation, weather manipulation, the ability to transform into mist, and to take the shape of a bat or a wolf are now impossible to ignore; especially when the vampire blood of all breeds is united in one woman destined to rule them all. 3) Vampires vs werewolves – who would win and why? This question arises in my 3rd trilogy. In the past, vampires enslaved werewolves with their narcotic venom, but times have changed. Wars between vampires had almost wiped out the undead, and when vampires withered and struggled to survive, werewolves thrived. The vampires are poised to rise again with the emergence of their new queen, but the werewolves would like to hang them with the leashes they once wore. Who will win? I guess you’ll have to read it and see 4) Who is your favorite vampire on TV or in books? Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles was an early love of mine – it was the first time I saw vampires represented as feeling beings with a perspective I could empathize with, and it was a great inspiration to me. After my first trilogy began to gain some notice, Anne actually approached me on an Amazon chat thread. I was invited to meet her at The Vampire Lestat Masquerade Ball in New Orleans and to do my own book signing there during UnDeadCon. It was a great honor to tell her what her writing has meant to me! My favorite vampire on TV (although there are a few) has to be Spike, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Not only was he a fun, sexy, vicious vampire, his character arc was amazing. He was played with admirable depth of feeling. I was thrilled to do a book signing right next to James Marsters at NYComicCon (although I might have done more fan-girling than signing, LOL) and spend some time with him behind the curtain during breaks. He was very sweet and supportive! 5) Tell us what is next for you as an author. I am about half done writing book 9 for my series – with one more trilogy outlined and some spin-offs in mind. I am also currently narrating the entire series for audiobook! It is very exciting, as I have acting experience and have always wanted to bring these characters to life with my own voice. It’s a bit ambitious, but I’d like to have all the current books out on audible by Christmas.  I am the author of the venomous vampire series ALMOST HUMAN, a happily married mom of 2 sons, and I hold a Teaching Degree, and a Master's in Library and Information Science. Originally from Long Island, I now live with my family on a peaceful mountaintop in the forest of upstate New York. I’ve always had a vivid imagination, a fascination for the paranormal and for making up stories. Acting and singing are loves of mine as well. However, upon conceiving the idea for my ALMOST HUMAN series in 2003, I discovered a previously unknown passion for writing! Now I put my over-active imagination to good use, creating characters I love, and I get to play all of the parts!
You can visit my website at:  1) Tell us about your book
This is a dark fantasy Peter Pan retelling featuring vampires. Darcy runs away when her father tries to marry her off, boarding a ship. When it goes down, she is washed up on a strange island. She soon finds that she is not the only one on the island and the inhabitants are hungry. 2) Do your vampires have any special abilities? While it is daylight on the island, there is no direct sunlight so they are moving around freely. They are tied to the island and cannot leave unless the captain allows them too. New vampires do not have to be bitten to turn, they can be turned by stepping onto the captain's ship - as they are now damned. 3) Vampires vs werewolves – who would win and why? I think vampires are fast so they could probably kill a werewolf faster than it could react. But if a werewolf caught a vampire off guard, it could do a lot of damage. 4) Who is your favorite vampire on TV or in books? He wasn't one for long, but Doc Holliday in Wynonna Earp. It was an interesting storyline, but I felt like the cancellation knocked it off course. 5) Tell us what is next for you as an author I am working on a new series featuring a sorceress with incredibly bad luck thanks to a curse. She has a demon tethered to her who keeps her alive. I hope to get the first book out in a few months time.  1) Tell us about your book A Rhapsody of Rapiers takes place during the Anglo-Spanish War, mostly throughout the Mediterranean. The story starts with Elyes Jaouhari joining his brother as a privateer working under the English. In exchange, they’re offered money and free movement after the War. Except Elyes’ ship is attacked by monsters that kill almost everybody. The survivors have become those very monsters themselves. Elyes has to figure out how to survive in a time before vampire stories were popular, with no idea what he is and a war still going on. This novella is the first in a series of historic vampire origin stories that span the globe and take place from the 1600s to WWI. 2) Do your vampires have any special abilities? Generally speaking, my vampires are pretty animalistic, with super speed and strength, and heightened senses. They’re very charismatic, though they definitely can come across as unsettling. Some of them also have abilities that carried over from their human lives, like being able to stay in the same position for hours or move silently. 3) Vampires vs werewolves – who would win and why In a straight, head-to-head fight, I think vampires would win. Obviously depends on your lore, but werewolves are pretty much just bigger, stronger wolves. Vampires are faster and stronger, and are also apex predators. I also think a vampire would have an easier time killing a werewolf in general. Werewolves might have an advantage during the day, but they’re still pretty much just people outside the full moon, with maybe some better senses. 4) Who is your favorite vampire on TV or in books? One of the first vampire books I read other than Twilight was Blackwood Farm by Anne Rice. I used it as my English class book for the year, so I spent a lot of time analyzing the characters in that one. (The next year I did Vlad: The Last Confession with the same teacher, and she had a couple concerns.) I’m always going to have a soft spot for Tarquin Blackwood. For werewolves, I think my favourite is Josh from Being Human (US and UK version). I’m a sucker for monsters who are actually marshmallows inside. 5) Tell us what is next for you as an author The first thing is the release of the Heavy Metal Blood box set, which contains four vampire origin novellas and four brand new short stories, coming August 27th. After that, I have a few things I’m working on, including an urban fantasy short story collection and book 4 in a series about heavy metal musicians who double as vampire hunters called Heavy Metal Hunters.  Amir Lane writes supernatural and fantasy with LGBT+ characters. From the frigid and mysterious land of Northern Canada, Amir is obsessed with loud music and black magic. They spend most of their writing time in a small home office or doing the circuit of local coffee shops. They live in a world where magic is an every day occurrence, and they strive to bring that world to paper.
When not figuring out what kind of day job an incubus would have or what a necromancer would go to school for, Amir enjoys visiting the nearest Dairy Queen, getting killed in video games, and watching cat videos.  1) Tell us about your book Bite Me Tender, Bite Me Sweet is vampire Emma and human Rick’s story. Over a hundred years ago, Emma swore she'd never let her werewolf friends' murder be forgotten. Now, she finds a letter that details their murder, and can finally keep her promise by protecting their old home under the Protection Act and share their story. On the other side of the story there’s Rick, who needs that land to save his struggling company (no matter how much he hates it). His brilliant plan? Go undercover, steal, and destroy the letter to stop the Protection Act from kicking in. No letter, no protection, he gets the land, and his company survives. Clearly, it will not be that easy. 2) Do your vampires have any special abilities? Emma’s senses are those of the deadliest predator, and she is incredibly strong and fast. She can go in the sun, but she would get a scorching sunburn and possibly burn her retina, so she’s always careful to wear sunglasses, hat, and cover on her body–meaning, cool dresses. She’s very fashionable. 3) Vampires vs werewolves – who would win and why? Good question. Emma is a very good friend of Rex, Mystic Hollow’s alpha werewolf and park ranger. They are very close. If they decided to tussle… mmm. I’d say she’d get him. He’d be bigger in wolf form, but she’s more agile and equally (if not more) strong. So, yeah. She’d get him. 4) Who is your favorite vampire on TV or in books? The Black Dagger Brotherhood is the first one that comes to my mind, along with Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I did enjoy the Twilight series, both books and movies, but not as much as TBDB. And Louis over Lestat any day. 5) Tell us what is next for you as an author I have three more stories lined up in Mystic Hollow: a very reluctant Oread, a girly Sasquatch, and the one and only Boogeyman. And I’m finishing the contemporary rockstars series, Heartstrings and Shadows. And some more thing here and there (wink wink)  Viv writes contemporary suspense romance as MacKade, and paranormal and fantasy romance as V.V. Strange.
In the breathtaking backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, Viv captures all shades of love in her stories - its joy, passion, and darkness. Her husband and children are her biggest fans, and yes, she really doesn’t mind shoveling that snow.  1) Tell us about your book/series Lupercalia features Arcadia, a werewolf who dreams of marrying into the Alpha Pack. Things take a strange turn and she soon finds that she is meant for bigger things. When her Pack is threatened, she steps up to save them. 2) What type of shifters feature in your book? They are wolf shifters. 3) What abilities do they have? They are strong, good fighters and they can sniff out anything. Alpha wolves have more abilities including the ability to transform at will. 4) If you could transform into an animal, what would you choose and why? Probably a wolf, or maybe some type of cat like a panther. That would be cool.  USA Today Bestselling Author S. K. Gregory writes urban fantasy, paranormal romance and horror stories.
