Creating a new world, especially a dark paranormal world
filled with magic and fantasy, mortals and immortals, is a daunting task. You
have to ask yourself a lot of questions. How closely do you want it aligned
with our world? Where will you set it, what will the rules of magic be? Who
will inhabit this world you’re creating? And once you’ve created it, what kinds
of stories do you want to tell there?
I love creating new worlds, but I like them firmly based in
our own. Urban fantasy types of worlds rather than high fantasy. Worlds and
creatures that could exist here, all around us, without us ever knowing. I’ve
created three such worlds, now, each set in and around Washington, D.C. which,
no surprise, is where I live. But each, while using modern-day D.C. as the
backdrop, is very different. In my Esri series, our world is being invaded by
the man-sized, malevolent creatures at the heart of the legends of the fairies
and elves. Creatures locked out of our world for fifteen centuries that have
found their way back in. In my Feral Warriors shape shifter series, the last
nine shape shifters left in the world (each of whom shifts into a different
animal) are fighting the evil Mage to keep the Daemons from once more rising to
destroy the world. The immortals live and battle among us, though we are, for
the most part, unaware.
In my latest world, a vampire utopia, created a century and
a half ago by a powerful sorcerer, sits atop modern day D.C. (though the humans
don’t see it or know it’s there). It’s a city where the sun never shines, where
vampires live openly, freely hunting the humans brought in for food and sport.
A place that, unfortunately for the vamps, will become a death trap if they don’t
soon find another sorcerer to renew the magic. Welcome to Washington, V.C.,
Vamp City.
From the back cover of book 1, A Blood Seduction (A Vamp
City novel), which hits store shelves Tuesday, May 29th:
Vampires live only for
lust and pleasure in the eternal twilight of Vamp City. But the city's magic is
dying. The only person who can restore it? A beautiful woman from the mortal
world...one who knows nothing of the power she wields.
Quinn Lennox is
searching for a missing friend when she stumbles into a dark otherworld that
only she can see--and finds herself at the mercy of Arturo Mazza, a dangerously
handsome vampire whose wicked kiss will save her, enslave her, bewitch her, and
betray her. What Arturo can't do is forget about her--any more than Quinn can
control her own feelings for him. Neither one can let desire get in the way of
their mission--his to save his people, hers to save herself. But there is no
escape from desire in a city built for seduction, where passion flows hot and
blood red. Welcome to Vamp City...
