Q. What's your favorite book so far?


Blood Vengeance – The sorcery and steam in this novel are the best!

Q. Who's your favorite character and why?


How do you choose among all the bad-assery that is this list of characters? I dig Nathaniel because his viciousness introduced me to the series, and I think the creative ways he kills the enemy are second to none. Saber is probably my next in line because he is defiant even in the face of the most powerful vampires and won’t be cowed. Plus, the idea of redemption even for the most evil of characters always appeals to me. Kagen is my homie because even though all the Vale males are intelligent beyond human standards, his intellectual side calls to my nerdy self. I’m just a sucker for brains. I like Braden because he seems to surprise me in every novel as his character unveils different powers.

Q. Secret Dark Moon Vale Fantasy?


Let’s just get real and admit that there needs to be a round robin mud-wrestling tournament scene amongst the Silivasis, Napoleon, and the Sentinels. And if this scene turns the mud a shade of red, let’s just say I wouldn’t be disappointed. All right Tessa, ready, set, write!

Q. Tell us more about you...

I’m pretty vanilla, but I have a zest for life. Regardless of what I do, I approach it with excitement and energy. Born and raised in the mid-west, I’m a certified public accountant by trade, obsessive reader by hobby. I enjoy running/kettlebell/HITT training for exercise. As a desk-jockey/reader, physical activity is a must or I would be seriously unhealthy. I have a passion for my husband, who is my own personal bad-ass and complete opposite, but none-the-less an amazing teammate. My leisurely pursuits include cooking new recipes, gardening, and traveling (the warmer the destination the better).

Q. What's your favorite book so far?


Each book in the BCS is amazing in its own way. Over time, my favorite has changed. Looking back though, Blood Shadows is my favorite.

Q. Who's your favorite character and why?

It is likely that Blood Shadows is my favorite because my favorite character is Nachari Silivasi. He has the qualities that I’d like to have. He’s cool and calm under pressure, fierce, deadly and loyal, and through all that he remains fun loving and care free. He truly seems like a guy you can hang out with and trust with your life. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a bad ass wizard with the utmost confidence in his abilities. And the car along with the ability to shape shift into a panther – yeah, that doesn’t suck either!

Q. Secret Dark Moon Vale Fantasy?


So, my fantasy is part “guy” and part “writer/reader”. I would love to be a part of the Silivasi family as a long-lost cousin. I’ve just completed my studies and am now a Master Wizard with the added power of premonition. I’ve foreseen something happening to my cousins and travel to Dark Moon Vale to warn them. While not a primary character, I get to join them in a fight (and I’m damned good with a Katana by the way) and in the end I combine my powers with Nachari’s to help save the day. Perhaps, if I cross my fingers, I’ll become a recurring character who occasionally provides instruction to Braden when Nachari is busy.


Q. Tell us more about you...


I am reader of anything that’s good, but I have particular interest in Dark Fantasy, Urban Fantasy,Horror, and Supernatural Thrillers. I have degrees in Criminal Justice and Forensic Psychology which I’ve used in Private Investigation, but over the last ten years I’ve used them as a Mental Health Professional. When I’m not working for non-profit agencies, I’m writing my own stories with the hopes of joining great writers like Tessa Dawn as a published author.

Meet Brie Hansen Strauss


Q. What's your favorite book so far?


Blood Father as it involves my favorite character Kagen and the search for their father. I cried when they were all reunited and the brothers introduced their destinies and children to him. Priceless! The change of pace with the Lycan home dimension was nice and had me on the edge of my seat to see if they would get back in time for Kagen and Arielle.


Q. Who's your favorite character and why?


I love Kagen for he is calm and nurturing, but there is also a lethal side within which will arise should anything happen to anyone he cares about. He’s also the resident master healer which calls to my love of science and nature. A close second would be Saxon for the greenhouse he built for his destiny just made my heart melt. It was the most wonderful and thoughtful gift and showed where his soul was despite being a terrifying sentinel.


Q. Secret Dark Moon Vale Fantasy? 


I would love to visit and experience all of the wonders it holds both in nature and its residents. Some of the houses and landscapes sound beautiful and spectacular to behold. This is certainly the town to sit and people watch with some yummy sites to see. πŸ˜‰


Q. Tell us more about you...

I’m in my mid-forties as well as a wife and mother of two wonderful kids (elementary and middle school). My days are spent working as a scientist for a pharmaceutical company and taking care of my family. I love to read and the Blood Curse Series is one of my absolute favorites.

Q. What's your favorite book so far?

Blood Father...that reunion made me cry!


Q. Who's your favorite character and why?


Princess Ciopori. When you introduced her in Blood Awakening, she was gentle, but, being the sister of Jadon and the oldest living Celestial Being, I knew she had an aggressive spirit within. There were bits and pieces shown throughout each book when she had to “handle” Marquis, but, it really showed in Blood Betrayal when her baby was attacked. She was the quiet before the storm. Yes, the main characters were magnificent, but, I tend to pay attention to all of the characters in each book.

Q. Secret Dark Moon Vale Fantasy?


When Kagen took Arielle to the Hot Springs and started singing to her...I caught the vapors so bad that I called my best friend and talked about it like it happened to me! Lol!! Listening on Audible made such a difference! His voice was beautiful! She laughed at me, but, I was totally seriousπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Q. Tell us more about you...


I’m a truck driver by day (with my hubby) and Blogger by night. We have 5 Children and 6 Grandchildren. After our 5th child went off to college 4 years ago, I joined my husband out on the road. We have a fur baby named Bella, who spends time at college with our son. I’m the owner of The Erotic Book Review. My husband is a web designer and came up with the idea for me to start sharing my reviews on a blog. I have a Facebook page and a private group as well as other social media. It is my passion and my goal is to blog full time when we retire from the road.

Q. What's your favorite book so far?

The one yet to be read, Blood Web.



Q. Who's your favorite character and why?

Nachari has the bad boy with something special, but Nathaniel and his way to soothe a transition with aquarium stole my heart. I can’t say any of the others besides Saber may of had a chance to live if I wore their mark. Good thing I stay on this side and only read. I want them all to live 


Q. Secret Dark Moon Vale Fantasy?


I want to read about the architecture of hidden gardens, aquariums and solariums, Black panther mischief and these babies and their antics with anticipation! The twisted twin was a really nice touch!


Q. Tell us more about you...


I am an avid fan of aquariums, wooden railway, photography, my Doberman, her daughter, books, I’m an introvert. I’m an addict in recovery, I have 24 years clean. I’m married with one child.


I tend to yell at anyone who interrupts me while reading. I don’t work . My kid is 20+ so I’m experiencing my own childish dreams / bucket list. 


Scorpions are my favorite band. Songs like house of cards, gypsy life. Beth Hart is my second, leave the light on, fat man, the jazz man. Janiva magness: weeds like us. 
That probably says more about me than anything I could say. Have a good one!

Q. What's your favorite book so far?

Blood Redemption is my favorite BCS book (Blood Shadows and Blood Father are so close to this book for me).

Q. Who's your favorite character and why?

Nachari Silivasi …. he's a Wizard and not like Harry Potter (Nachari is better! I'm biased). He is smart, uses all the elements around him, and is a bright light in his family. Despite horrible things happening, he sees good things. He holds the Silivasi family together whether they know it or not. The plus for him, he can shape shift into a panther.

Q. Secret Dark Moon Vale Fantasy?

Nachari/Saber/Napoleon dynamic. There is a bond between these three that has been touched upon but could be more important to all of them. That connection with these three characters is something I would love to read about. Whether that is Napoleon sending Nachari and Saber on a mission or the three of them working on something. These three guys are the stuff bromance is made of and enjoyable to read and imagine.

Q. Tell us more about you...

I have 3 cats, Miss M, Clyde and Fuzzilla. I take pictures of them all the time. I love to bird watch, probably got that from my cats. I'm married and enjoying cooking. I want to write and practice writing, not as often as I should but do it anyway. I love sci-fy and fantasy stuff.
