Rebel Vampires

SCIENCE FICTION AND GRAPHIC NOVELS – Lab 99’s Brand New Comic Book Series

nebula-1

Fantasy and science fiction fanatic here. I write it. I read it. And great graphic novels? Best of all worlds. I’ve even sneaked references into my third book in the Rebel Vampires series – Blood Renegades. I’m on that delicious mind exploding first draft stage. Expect the thrilling release June 2017.

So when I hear about a new indie graphic novel and soon to be movie blockbuster? I don’t need asking twice.

Lab 99 is visually stunning. Thoughtful and thrilling, with an edge of romance.

Throw in aliens, parallel universes and hidden dimensions? Sorted.

There were thrills. Laughter. Tears… A roller coaster of a… All right, bit carried away there. Point is my blog tour is over. Finito. At an end. Thank you to Marieanne and all the hosts – you were blinding! So here are the highlights of last week.

Jane Davis’ Virtual Book Club: ‘I slithered bloody from my mother’s womb with a head full of other worlds…’ blood dragons and me 2

Readeropolis: ‘I see a novel happening in my mind; it’s like I’m translating it down. Tarantino has said he does the same. Apart from he probably said it in a cooler, more American way.’

Laurie’s Paranormal Thoughts and Reviews: ‘I know the end of a novel before I’ve even written the first line. It’s like being a chauffeur of a Limousine full of VIPs (the readers) – I don’t set off on a journey without first checking the car’s not going to breakdown and I know the route!’

THREE ORIGINAL FANTASY HEROINES – A Witch, A Sorceress And A Monster…

I love original characters. Complex, unique, powerful. Male or female.

Rosmary A Johns Urban Portraits

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…

Blood Dragons and Blood Shackles are on sale at 0.99 until 30th November. rsz_1blood_dragons_cover_medium_web-1-small

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?
Blood, Fantasy and Why Never To Have Regrets. My Interview with Queen of All She Reads.

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…

THREE FANTASY WRITERS WHO MAKE YOU THINK – Dark Fantasy, Suspense and Vampires

blood-dragons-cover-large-ebook — Buy Now

With Blood Dragons on the Dark Fantasy Amazon Best Seller List and both Blood Dragons AND Blood Shackles booting their way onto Vampire Suspense Best Sellers this last week has been… exciting.

paul-hudson-music-day — Photo by Flickr User Paul Hudson: Music Day

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.

Blood Dragons and Blood Shackles are both out now at 0.99 until 30th blood-shackles-cover-large-ebook November.

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.

rsz_1blood_dragons_cover_medium_web-1-small To read Blood Dragons first click here.

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.
