Vampire insurrectionist Camden Moretti is determined to put an end to the vicious blood system that has held the world captive since the Human Annihilation War. An undercover operative for a rebellion group, Camden feels he can only make up for the failure of his assignment by procuring the only known chapters of the Vampiric Triumph, a secretive book that contains the ritual of the King of Darkness, the key to controlling a child with enormous power.
Beautiful Lycan heiress Danielle Calen is on the run from her lethal pack. Her sister is the beta wolf of a violent extremist pack who believe murder and vengeance are the best means of remaining free. But those views killed their parents and sent her sister down a spiraling path of bloodthirsty madness. When that madness results in violence, Danielle is determined to rescue her sister from a death sentence.
Camden and Danielle meet in the storm of their lives. The prophecy they’d grown up ignoring suddenly casts their intense and forbidden attraction in a whole new light. Surrounded by violence and betrayals, in a world where blood is currency, their attraction reveals devastating consequences linked to a time-transcending curse of love and death. Will they have the courage to challenge destiny, oppression, and war, or will their passion be the trigger for their shocking end?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I formed the idea for this series when I was forced to break up with a boyfriend who was too old for me as a teenager. I had been a straight-A student from a highly-religious family until that moment. The heartbreak I endured for the first time in my life sparked a sudden and intense rebellious stage. I began to fight with my family members, sneak out of school, and break every rule I came across. At the same time, I was using A Blood Deep Darkness as kind of a lightning rod for all my angst, and identity struggles. I would write until the early hours, scribbling through notebooks until my hands were bruised, and my fingers cramped around my pen. Finally, things got so tense in my house, I was sent away to a behavior school and when I returned, I learned that my parent threw out my manuscript. I moved out the next year. I never ever forgot how much of myself I was able to pour into that story, and how deeply the characters had gotten into my writer's heart. I had written many books before, and have written plenty books since, but A Blood Deep Darkness was my first "baby" and I decided to rewrite it in my adulthood ten years later. I wasn't going to publish it. I just wanted the characters to stop haunting me. I think the perspective I have now, as a parent to daughters and as a wife, lends a responsiveness to the agonies I felt in my teenagehood. The marriage of these two stages of life created such resonance, balance, and peace, I'm almost grateful for that first careless destruction of the original. I feel like readers will sense the underlying theme of growth, understanding, and the illusion of circumstance in the story's development. This book was determined to live its life, it wouldn't leave me alone all these years and like some of the characters on the page, it came back from the dead with a vengeance.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
All characters, I think, represent personalities the author has either harbored or met. Abigail Calen is a general representation of the desperate determination many young people feel to have their say about who they are. She defies the outside influences that would shape her persona into something controllable and palatable only because she's terrified of possibly being robbed of getting to know the real Abigail. Danielle is the piece in some of us that wishes to be only good, even when being good requires dealing harshly with other ideas which we deem 'not good.' She is stuck in a self-contradicting cycle, to be a good person we have to deem someone a bad person but in passing that judgment we remain linked in some way to what we call bad. Camden is the shattered outer shell. Since he's so blatantly tough it's obvious there's more to the story. He's like a mirror. He very clearly sees that he is damaged but he's wrong about why he is that way. I wanted the reader to see it plainly, and remember just how glaringly visible someone's cracks are on the outside, and how easy it is to overlook our own.
