    Blurb:
    Ascher Rousseau is a half-human, half vampire whose life has
    been a series of prophecies and predictions. After finding incredible love and passion
    with Shauna–a Wiccan with powers beyond anything he’s ever known–he seals to her
    and hopes for happiness. But his enemies seek to destroy all that he loves, and
    he finds that happiness never lasts for long.
    Darkness is descending and a vampiric revolution is nearing.
    A new brood of hatchlings is born to join their darkling brothers, in preparation
    for war. A preordained chain of events is set into motion that could lead to the
    rise of the demonic “cloaked one” and his half-human fallen children, while ending
    humanity–as we know it.

    Rousseaus and the world from certain extinction?

    Interview

    What do you enjoy most about writing?
    The thing I enjoy most about writing is connecting with readers
    and chatting with them about my books and characters.
    If you could choose anyone to be your mentor who would it
    be?
    Stephen King
    Do things your family or friends do ever end up in a book?
    All of the time. This drives my husband crazy, because he’ll
    read a part of one of the books and say, “Hey, I remember saying that to you once.”
    What are some jobs you’ve done before (or while) you were
    a writer?
    I currently work full time for a major power company.
    What kind of books do you read when taking a break from your
    own writing?
    I’m a romance junkie, and I will read any sub-genre of this genre.
    What do you think is the future of traditional publishing?
    Honestly, I believe that e-books will become the majority of
    book sales in the future, leaving a small portion of sales as paperbacks.
    What is your favorite holiday and why?
    Thanksgiving, because I enjoy cooking a huge family meal.
    What do you like to do when you’re bored?
    My guilty pleasure is watching Lifetime in my pajamas.
    If you were a color, what color would you be?
    I’ll say pink, because it happens to be my favorite color.
    Please underline which statement is more like you:
    “I am a vacation spa because I am laid back and relaxed.”
    “I am a ten-countries in ten-days tour vacation, because
    I do things as fast as possible.”

    Please complete the sentences

    I love pizza with pepperoni, black olive and mushroom.
    I’m always ready for sex.
    When I’m alone, I write.
    You’d never be able to tell, but I write erotica.
    If I had a halo it would be in
    flames
    .
    If I could disappear, I’d prank my friends.
    I can never skydive because I’m a big chicken.
