Hi! I thought I’d tell you guys a little bit about the world that the Gwen Sparks books are set in.
In the books the humans have accepted that supernaturals exist but they still demand segregation. Because of this, there are secret towns all across the United States that house various species. Some allow humans – mainly the towns that house vampires so they have a feeding source. But then there are towns that are protected by magic that humans cannot cross the borders of.
Gwen and the gang live in the town, Flora. It’s set in the countryside of Missouri and has a population of around 1,000 residents. Flora is strictly supernatural. To the humans it looks like a cornfield. But inside, it houses various businesses and houses. Home to various creatures – witches, vampires, fairies, werewolves, elves.
Gwen owns a magic shop called, Broomsticks. Her favorite place to grab a coffee is called Espresso Self and if you asked her where to buy a gown, she’d tell you to head over to Andy’s shop, Fairy Fabulous. If you’re looking to experience a vampire nightclub then you should head over to Aiden’s club, Vain.
In book 2, Deceived, the setting changes to another town – Moon. Moon is home to the witch’s council (NAWC) and is strictly houses witches. It’s set up like an old English town with river rock buildings, thatched roofs and cobblestone streets. Several restaurants sit within its secret borders and a large castle sits upon a hill overlooking the small town.
I’ve really enjoyed creating the towns in these books and hope to explore more of them in future books!

Book 2 Gwen Sparks Series
By Stephanie Nelson
Blurb:
The vampire drug, brew, nearly ruined Gwen Sparks’ life. Just when things started to get back to normal between her and Aiden, she is summoned by the North American Witches Council to their central city of Moon.
A war is imminent between vampires and witches, and Gwen’s experiences with brew are being used to fuel the fire. She is about to discover just how powerful she is with the help of the ruggedly handsome Angel of Death and just how far some people will go to get what they want.
Gwen is going to learn exactly what it means to be Deceived.

Author Bio:
Unlike a lot of authors, Stephanie Nelson didn't dream of becoming an author. It wasn't until she jumped on the bandwagon and read about the sparkly vampire, that she fell in love with the paranormal genre. Books quickly became her addiction and the bookstore her favorite place to visit. Devouring one book after another, a story began to form in her head. Ignoring the characters that seemed to speak to her didn't work.
Eventually she gave in, and began to write. After countless attempts of starting and trashing stories, Stephanie gave up. A year later, she found herself sitting in front of her computer again and made a promise to herself that she would finish a full length book. Seven months later her first book, Craved was published and ended up reaching #1 on Amazon's bestsellers list and #6 on the Barnes & Noble bestsellers list.
While she's not writing about a new adventure, Stephanie enjoys watching movies, spending time with her family and traveling. She resides in the Midwest with her husband and furry children.
