With the best fantasy, science fiction, horror and thriller writers donating paperbacks and hosting Facebook events into the New Year this is the Event of the Year.
Eliza Green, Ben Galley and Vered Ehsani. And that’s just three of them…Oh, and me.
So when am I let out to play? Join me on the 10-11th Decemberhere for even more giveaways. And banter. Did anyone mention the banter?
As a fantasy fanatic I’m giving you the heads up on a fantasy freebie set for the 5 – 6th: Justin Sloan’s Falls of Redemption Book One. Fast-paced action, a love triangle and bitter revenge.
Justin Sloan’s Narcel is enslaved like Light in Blood Shackles. Two men fighting for their freedom. Family. Lives.
Why not treat yourself to a little dark romance…with a thriller edge? Click here to escape into Blood Shackles today.
I love original characters. Complex, unique, powerful. Male or female.
That’s why I wrote an anti-hero in Blood Dragons, yet there are also two powerful women. And not a damsel in sight. Ruby – her role..? Now that’s an interesting question. But Kathy’s the heroine. Because bravery comes in different flavours.
In Blood Shackles Grayse is as much the anti-hero as Light.
Here’s Three Original Fantasy Heroines:
Jaenelle Angelline in The Black Jewels Trilogy: Anne Bishop. A witch. Outcast. In one of the most complex and original matriarchal based fantasies. Ever. Plus there’s unicorns…
Lillian in A Gargoyle and Sorceress Tale series: Lisa Blackwood. A sorceress and Avatar in an unusual urban fantasy coupling. The clue’s in the title.
Ashley Currigan in Dying Ashes series: Annathesa Nikola Darksbane & Shei Darksbane. What do you do when you’re dead? Your only allies are a wizard and a vampire? And your best friend is missing? Turn a little monster…
In another blinding week of touring, here’s Five of the Best Guest Posts and Interviews:
Inside the Mind of a Slave: This Is No Bridget Jones’s Diary – Long and Short Reviews. If you knew your private thoughts were being read by your captor, how would it change what you wrote? And who can face the flayed truth without flinching?
If You Want To Cook and Eat Like a Vampire – Books Chatter. Blood Lifers nosh human food. Light? He loves Italian. The pics are so gorgeous, you’ll be licking the screen.
My Scariest Moment, Best Ever Fan Letter and Sneak Peek at Blood Renegades – My interview with The Pen Muse.
Creating an Anti-hero – Fabulous and Brunette. Dark, complex, struggling on an individual journey of redemption..? You may have an anti-hero on your hands.
Oi, hang on a tick, you’ve missed one…
And that would be An Interview With a Vampire…and His Name Is Light – Archaeolibrarian. Light frees himself from my shackles (couldn’t resist), and gets his own interview. Only seems fair…
With Blood Dragons on the Dark Fantasy Amazon Best Seller List and both Blood Dragons AND Blood Shackles booting their way onto Vampire SuspenseBest Sellers this last week has been… exciting.
All right..understatement. If I was Light right now? I’d be on a wild whirlwind of joyous crimson carnage. Me? I settled in to write the third book – Blood Renegades. Any excuse to listen to its music…seriously, you’re going to love it.
Whilst I’ve been peeking in on the Lists and sauntering into events (yeah, there is an online saunter), still being as much a fantasy fanatic as ever, here’s Three Fantasy Writers Who Make You Think:
C. J. Rutherford: Souls of the Never. YA fantasy/science fiction as it should be. Alternate realities? Time travel? Dragons? All present and correct, sir.
John G. Hartness:Heaven Help Us. Urban fantasy just how I like it – dark – with a side order of immortal demon hunter, werewolves and Homeland Security.
Patty Jansen: Icefire Trilogy. Did I say I liked dark? This is gritty, shocking and don’t take the warnings lightly… But the world building? Class act.
It’s a dangerous game to love your slave… When your whole species is enslaved – and it’s the humans who are acting like the monsters – how far would you go to free your family? Click here to buy Blood Shackles today.
In a divided paranormal London, one bad boy vampire’s dangerous hidden love could bring about the end of the world – unless he can play the role of hero and save both species – and maybe even himself.
The Lampshade Reader: Vampires, Romance and Rebels – Or How to Train a Slave. To read it click here. Some fantastic comments and chat with readers.
Ever wondered what Light’s favourite drink, music or phrase was? Or what his human name once was? Find the answers in Blood Lifer Character Profiles on Andra’s Unabridged blog here.
Light’s a Londoner. Born a Victorian. But drawn to the 1960’s, when he felt most free. Want to know how to talk like him? Peepers, Starkers and Bint – The One Minute Guide To Talking Like Light. See The Voluptuous Book Diva here.

“This was an amazing follow up to Blood Dragons and I am impatiently waiting for the third book of this series. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is wanting a new spin on paranormal and vampires.”- Rockchickcu Addiction Reviews
When your whole species is enslaved – and it’s the humans who are acting like the monsters – how far would you go to free your family?
“Once you start reading it you just cannot put it down. A first class performance from a writer at the very top of her game.” – SLH Reviews
What happens when SPARTACUS meets VAMPIRES? Except the vampires are the slaves… In a divided paranormal London, Light is the rebel vampire of the Blood Lifer world, with a talent for remembering things. And a Triton motorbike. Since Victorian times he’s hidden in the shadows. But not now. Not since someone hunted and enslaved him. When he’s bought by his alluring Mistress, Light fights to escape. Even if he can’t escape their love. But if he doesn’t, he’ll never solve the conspiracy behind the Blood Club…
WELCOME TO THE BLOOD CLUB
Who are these ruthless humans? Who’s their brutal leader? And who betrayed the secret of the Blood Lifer world?
WHERE THE PREDATORS
London, Primrose Hill. Grayse is the commanding slaver’s daughter. The enemy. She buys Light, like he’s a pair of designer shoes. So why does Light feel so drawn to her? Ashamed, he battles with his desire, even as he burns for her. Can a slave truly love his Mistress? Especially when his family is still in chains. Will he risk everything – even his new love – to save them?
BECOME THE PREY
Does a chilling conspiracy lie behind it all? A stunning revelation leads Light to an inconceivable truth. To the dark heart of the Blood Club. If he can face his worst terrors, he can save his family and his whole species from slavery.
Maybe he can even save himself.
Get ready to dive into Blood Life…
5* “This book was awesome…an emotional ride.” – Vicki, Goodreads
Tomorrow Blood Life returns with the release of Blood Shackles, the second standalone novel in the Rebel Vampires series. Almost like somebody planned it…
Today Blood Dragons goes on sale for the next month at 0.99 to celebrate the launch. So readers can catch up with Light’s adventures first (and yeah, I do get how much Light would hate that phrase). Redemptive journey? Thrills, loves and heroic… Let’s stick with misadventures maybe?
Although this Halloween I’m a Vampire Queen, Light’s only in my head. So no Vampire King.
Question is: if you could have one vampire as your King (or Queen), who would it be?
It’s easy if you allow TVs and movies. But I am a creature of the night, so books alone it is.
In a divided paranormal London, one bad boy vampire’s dangerous hidden love could bring about the end of the world – unless he can play the role of hero.
5* “Completely gripping… If Interview with the Vampire and A Clockwork Orange eloped and had a book baby- this would be it!” – Silver Dagger Scriptorium
