This is my first stop in my first Book Blog Tour for my debut novel, Night Walker! Did I mention I’m excited? LOL
I’ve been a voracious reader ever since I was a child, idolizing the authors who wrote new worlds for me to escape into. I never dreamed I would one day write a book and see it published.
After I had my daughter, I got bitten by the writing bug. I started writing every night, just for fun. Before I knew it I had filled up my computer’s hard-drive with characters and stories that would never see the light of day.
Vampires were always my favorite characters to write. I really enjoy writing a character who has watched the world change, with lifetimes of memories and experience. It’s also fun to figure out how they keep themselves going in an endless night.
Having them be dark and dangerous doesn’t hurt either! :-)
My hero, Calisto Terana, has been alive for over two hundred years. He traded his soul for the promise of redemption and the chance to find his one love when she lives again.
He had no idea he would wait so long.
By the time he meets Kate, hope has turned to bitterness. Instead of using his Night Walker abilities to heal, he now uses them to hunt and feed on the refuse of humanity. He’s thrown completely off-balance when he realizes he finally has another chance to love her, but she has her own baggage and no memory of him.
It’s been a long hard journey to finally see this book published, but the moment I get to hold a copy in my hands every second will have been worth it. Thanks so much for stopping by today on my first blog stop!
I’ve got a new page up on my website with some photos and music that are featured in the book… http://lisaslair.com/NightWalker.html so stop by if you’re curious.
Also, I’m having a virtual Night Walker release party with prizes and fun on facebook, so consider this your invitation and click that you’ll attend…:-) http://www.facebook.com/?tid=1732769362783&sk=messages#!/event.php?eid=219541484756584
I’m trying to think of something to do in real-life too, to celebrate Night Walker’s release day… (Besides be a dork and cry! LOL) Have any ideas?
Lisa
Book Description:
He gave up his soul for a second chance to love her…
Two and a half centuries ago, Calisto Terana lost everything when a zealous priest murdered the woman he loved. Now, desperate for another chance to love her, he wants redemption for the mistake that cost her life.
She’s haunted by dreams of her own death…
After catching her fiance with another woman, Kate Bradley returns to San Diego to clear her head. The last thing she needs is romance, but after meeting Calisto she’s drawn to him in ways she doesn’t understand.
They’ve waited in the shadows for centuries…
Calisto has no doubt Kate is the reincarnation of his lost love, but the Fraternidad Del Fuego Santo has a new watcher with dark ambitions of his own. As old enemies reemerge and a new threat arises, the betrayal that enslaved Calisto to the night might destroy the only woman he’s ever loved again.
