Buffy's Ramblings

Well, it’s Indie-Pendence week via GraveTells, so what perfect timing to take another look at the Sons of Navarus series by Gabrielle Bisset and talk to her about her writing life! She’s been awesome and patient enough to answer some questions for me, despite some minor technical problems we experienced. She’s got Blood Avenged , and Blood Betrayed out, with Blood Spirit in the works, among several others! Read below for some insight into her world, and then enter to win a SWAG pack that includes signed bookmarks and cover flats! Rock on folks! What inspired the Sons of Navarus series? Why vampires? I've always loved vampires, and not only the romantic kind. For me, they're the most sensual paranormal creatures, so they fit great in a series about warriors trying to save their world. I wrote a novella last year called Vampire Dreams and included a character named Vasilije as the bad guy. I knew as soon as readers began asking when he would get his own story tha...

Recap: Haunted by betrayal, Saint seeks solace in the human world knowing he’ll never find the solution to his pain. He ultimately keeps himself in a self-imposed prison of solitude when it comes to his own kind – that is until he’s named as the newest target for the Archons seeking domination over the vampire world. Solenne was the key element in his haunting betrayal, so when she ends up his only safe house, he’ll find that facing her will either cost him everything or finally be his salvation.

Now as the Archons begin their takeover of the vampire world, this Son of Navarus has been marked for death.  Summoned to defeat the Archons by the world that shunned him, Saint must face his past and Solenne, the woman he loved and lost a century ago, for only in accepting her will his body and soul finally find salvation.
