Meet the Faustin Brothers with Author Evie Byrne

Today we have guest author Evie Byrne discussing her Faustin Brothers series and giving away a copy of Bound by Blood . Thanks for joining us Evie!

I didn't really intend to write a trilogy of vampire books, but the vampires found me. Well, one did. Alex.

In those minutes between sleep and waking, when all my ideas come, Alexander Faustin showed up on the doorstep of my imagination, cute and goofy and incredibly hot. I eavesdropped while he talked with his decidedly eccentric mother, who sounded like Natasha from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. Between drags on her cigarette, she said to him, "Alexander, without he has family, a vampyr ezz nuthking."

Huh?

I hadn't planned to write a vampire book, but heck, talkative vampires had moved into my head. I had no choice.

I knew from the start that these would be different vampires. Alex had a mother, so he'd been born, not made. He had a soul. He was mortal.

Huh.

I began to see his vampirism as both a blessing and a disability, and was intrigued by all the possibilities of writing about the adventures of an all-too-human vampire.

While I worked on Alex's story, I caught glimpses of his charismatic big brothers, and I realized each of them had a story too. So one book turned into three: The Faustin Bros. Trilogy, three erotic vampire romances made up of surprising twists.

In each book, the hero has to hunt down and win his bride. Yes, they have destined mates, but I swear it's not an authorial cop out! Each of the brothers has to work hard for their Happily Ever After, because their women are not pushovers.

This is the series in a nutshell:

Alex, is the youngest and the family romantic. He's always wanted to marry, but his human mate has no interest in marrying a monster. His story is Called by Blood.

("A new and refreshing twist on vampires..." Paranormal Romance)


The middle brother, irascible, workaholic Gregor, has no intention of marrying, prophecy or no prophecy. Fate is about to knock him on his ass. His story is Bound by Blood.

("It had me laughing one minute and teary-eyed the next…Evie Bryne’s erotic vampire tales are not to be missed." Romance Junkies)


The eldest, Mikhail, is a lonely prince. When he learns his destined bride is his arch enemy, he knows he'll be mated or dead within the month. His story is Damned by Blood, and it will be released at Samhain on September 22nd.


The giveaway:


I'm giving away a copy of a Bound by Blood to a lucky commenter. Please note, this will be an ebook. If you follow this link, you can read the first chapter at Samhain. You can read a sexier excerpt here at my website.

Release-wise, Bound by Blood is the second book in the series, but chronologically it is the first, so it is actually the best place to begin the series. Strange but true. I'll return here in September to give away a copy of Mikhail's story.

To win, all you have to do is comment below on the following questions. You don't have to answer all of them:

Have you noticed a lot of snark lately directed against vampire romance? If so, what do you think has caused the burn out? What makes you insatiable for vampire books?

I'll draw a winner at random. Make sure you leave some way for me to contact you!

Many thanks to Roxanne for graciously inviting me to blog here today.

Happy reading!
