Will there be a book for each Son in the Sons of Navarus series?
The honest answer is I don't know yet. The storyline I have planned calls for a few things to happen, so it's likely not all
the Sons will get a book. That said, it's planned that at least one new character soon to come will get his own book.
Will all the Sons make it through the series?
No. As to which one(s) won't, I can't say right now.
Do you plan to write more short stories and/or novellas for the Sons series?
I might. I enjoy writing the Sons stories a great deal, and the shorter length books allow me to shine the spotlight on individual areas of characters' lives, like the burgeoning Vasilije-Sasa-Thane love triangle in Longing and The Deepest Cut.
So I won't rule anything out.
Are your books romance? You mentioned above that characters wouldn't make it all the way through a series.
Some of my books are romance. The Destined Ones series (Stolen Destiny and Destiny Redeemed) along with the novellas of the Victorian Erotic Romance Trilogy belong in the romance genre. They include happily ever afters and stick to the constructs of the genre. The Sons of Navarus series is not technically romance, however. While there is definitely an erotic romance component to the books and while the characters do get happy endings in each book, in the end, not all of them will have happily ever afters. That series is more urban fantasy mixed with paranormal romance.
Do you have any plans to write more stories from the Victorian Era?
I don't have any plans to right now, but I won't rule anything out. While there are other historical periods that I love, I find the Victorian Era to be incredibly interesting, so it's possible I might revisit that time period.
Do I have to know history or mythology to enjoy your books?
No, but since they're such enjoyable subjects, you might find you want to know more about them after reading my books! The history and mythology featured in my stories are never the entire story but instead interesting additions to the plots.
What's the heat level of your books?
It ranges from steamy in the Destined Ones series to quite erotic in the Victorian Erotic Romance Trilogy and the Sons of Navarus series. That said, the sex is never the story but always a reflection of the attraction between the characters in the story. But I definitely write for an adult audience.
Can I find your books in paperback in addition to ebook?
Yes. All the Sons full-length novels (Blood Avenged, Blood Betrayed, and Blood Spirit), along with the Victorian Erotic Romance Trilogy One Volume book and both Destined Ones books (Stolen Destiny and Destiny Redeemed) are available in paperback at Amazon.
Are you self-published and how are your books different from traditionally published books?
I am an indie author, which means my books are published by me. This means I'm responsible for not only writing them but making sure they're edited properly, formatted properly, and given covers that I believe best reflect the stories. I'm helped along the way with the editing and formatting by various professionals I respect immensely. I'm very picky about editors since I was one for almost a decade in addition to teaching writing for all those years. And my cover artist, Talina Perkins, helps me to have fantastic covers that make readers want to pick up my books. So my books go through the same process as traditionally published books.
Do you plan to traditionally publish in the future?
I never rule anything out, so if I found myself with a deal that I thought could help me get my books out to more readers and still allow me to do what I love with my writing, I'd be happy to traditionally publish.
What's your writing schedule like?
I work full-time in addition to home schooling my son, so I write at night and on weekends. I'm a linear writer and a committed plotter, so I begin a story and then write until it's finished. Usually for novels that takes 3-4 months, but novellas and short stories happen a bit faster.
I would love to review your book/have you at my blog for an interview or guest post/get my hands on some of that great Sons swag. How do I do that?
You can certainly contact me through my Contact page here at my website or through email at gabriellebisset@gmail.com And don't forget to download any or all of the desktop wallpapers I have for free for readers. Talina Perkins did a fantastic job on them, and they look great on your laptop and phone. Visit the Desktop Wallpapers page here on my site for all the great designs and brighten up your screen today!
I'd like to help get the word out about your books. Do you have a street team?
My promo team is called Gabrielle's Goddesses. I run it, so it's kept very small and close-knit compared to other teams you may have experienced. If you'd like to know more, please visit the Gabrielle's Goddesses page here on my site and fill out the form if you're interested. The one requirement is that anyone wanting to be on the Goddesses must have read at least a few of my books. I believe in honesty, so I don't feel it's right to ask someone to promote something they can't truly say they believe in.
Where can I find your books?
My books can be found at Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and Smashwords. Each book's page has the links to each major bookseller, so be sure to check them first.
I'd like you to sign my book. How can I go about getting that?
If it's an ebook, you can find me at Authorgraph. If it's a paperback, I'm always happy to sign books when I meet readers at book meetings, fairs, and conventions. If you see me, just come on up and ask. Unlike my vampires, I don't bite. :)
