Gifts for YOU in honor of The Bloodrune Saga being COMPLETE next month!
Heyyyyy, so it's time to celebrate because this dark Viking vampire romantasy trilogy is about to be COMPLETE! And we all love a complete series that we can binge-read after each cliffhanger. Brainstorming, outlining, writing, rewriting, editing - all of this became therapy for me over the course of The Bloodrune Saga. If you've seen my other blogs diving behind the scenes of Lux and Drak's love story, then you know my personal connection to this story and these characters. As I did my final read-through this past weekend, I stayed up late after putting my kids to bed and finished. It didn't matter that I'd read the book a hundred times before this. "Hel," I wrote the damn thing! I lived and breathed and bled out on the page (or so writers like to say violently poetic way...), but I still STILL cried as I read the end of Home of the Fallen. Yes...cried.
You'll just have to read and see what I mean.
(Don't worry, they absolutely DO have a happily ever after as promised, but I'll miss them)
Good news on the missing them front, I plan to release several spin-offs set in Vylheim WITH LUX AND DRAK AS SIDE CHARACTERS IN EACH ONE. Yep, you read that right. They'll cross over into every single other romantasy I currently have planned. "Elsa, even the pirate romantasy???"
Yes, even the pirate romantasy. When you get to the end of The Bloodrune Saga, you'll understand. You'll see exactly how it all sets up for these several romantasies (some standalones, some duologies, some trilogies) will be deeply connected. I don't want to give any more spoilers, BUT let me just say that you'll be getting Lottie's story next year (standalone) and the start of S & S's (duology) story next year as well... No, I'm not saying who S & S are... If you can guess, put that crown on, girl! WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, Here are your goodies:
Book club discussion questions for Vow of the Undead, as well as the link to the playlists I used while writing this trilogy, and a REVEAL for the art piece for the FINAL book (spoiler warning)!

Book Club Discussion Questions
(SPOILER - For the purposes of this list, the female main character

Who did you picture as Drak? Celebrity or otherwise (your partner, the hot guy you saw in the produce section last week, your ex who cosplays at Ren Faires?)
What do each of the guys represent for Lux? (Secondary question if nobody can answer - What side of Lux does King Drakkar represent? What side of her does Kayn represent? Which one does she need to let go (representing letting go of that side of her?)
What actress would be the best for Lux?
What did the title Vow of the Undead mean to you? How do you think it is related to the story?

If you could give Lux advice, what would you say?
If you could visit one place in Vylheim, where would you go and why?
