UFI welcomes Gabrielle Bisset Author of The Sons of Navarus Series. Thanks for Joining us!!
Thanks so much for having me here today at
Urban Fantasies Investigations! Finally, after months of waiting, the big day
comes tomorrow: Blood Prophecy, the fourth book in the Sons of Navarus series,
will be released.
Here's the blurb for Blood Prophecy:
I am everything
you fear. I am vampire.
As the two Sons chosen to decipher the Prophecy of Idolas, Ramiel and Thane journey to find the key to defeating the Archons. Together with Noele, a born vampire, they confront their fates as they fulfill their duty to their world. Along the way, they'll find love, but death and betrayal lurk in the shadows, threatening everything dear to them.
Descended from the gods and warriors all, each Son's loyalty will be tested. Every action has consequences, and the choices they make now seal their fates. Alliances as old as the vampire world itself are reforged, and the Sons' duty is clear. Stop the Archons. Or die trying.

Just about the halfway point in the series,
Blood Prophecy is Ramiel's story. Born a Visigoth, he was made a slave to a
wealthy Roman family until he rose up with his fellow barbarians against the
Roman Empire in August 410. Shortly after, he was made vampire and his time on
Earth changed. Now 1600 years later, he's one of the two Sons of Navarus
responsible for deciphering the Prophecy of Idolas to prevent the Archons from
taking over the vampire world.
Ramiel will be a very different character
from the other Sons who've come before him. The first three Sons to have their
stories told—Vasilije, Saint, and Terek—are unique in their own ways, but
Ramiel's time as a slave colors everything he sees in his life, including his
duty to his world. Readers will find that the way he deals with the events that
confront him is very much because of his being a slave.
But he's not alone in his responsibilities.
The other Son who must figure out the prophecy is Thane, and for every darkness
and harsh reality Ramiel has faced, Thane has had a life many would dream of.
Born the son of an English nobleman, he was made vampire by another nobleman
and has lived comfortably throughout the years, much like his fellow Son,
Vasilije.
Thanks so much for having me here to talk about
Blood Prophecy. Come May 14, readers will be able to find it at all major
booksellers. It's going to be a real turning point in the series.

For me, books aren’t just narratives of this character did this, so this character did that, and therefore this occurred. They’re stories full of the bigger issues of life: love, hate, power, lust and sex, hopes and dreams. And these wondrous things all thinking and feeling beings experience are shown not through the telling of he did and she did, but through the slow unveiling of events and characters so the reader becomes a part of the story. As Stephen King has said, “Good books don’t give up all their secrets at once.”
The idea for my first book came to me in a dream. I know that seems almost cliched, but it did. I woke up one morning after having an extremely vivid dream and began to jot things down that I was able to remember. Days later, I had the first pages written and the ideas that I had dreamed about had become the characters in my first book. Those characters are the basis for the first series I’ve written, The Destined Ones Series, about a people called Aeveren who have lived side by side with humans since almost the beginning of recorded time. The first book in that series, Stolen Destiny, was published in June 2011.
I’m still working on The Destined Ones books, and I look forward to what my imagination has waiting for me next. The second book about Aeveren, Destiny Redeemed, was released in October 2011. I’ve finished the Victorian Erotic Romance Trilogy, three erotic novellas set in Victorian England. The first one, Vampire Dreams, is a paranormal erotic romance. The second novella, another erotic romance but an historical, Love’s Master, involves some light BDSM. The third novella, Masquerade, is a straight historical, no kink or paranormal but still a great story.
And now I’ve begun a new paranormal series called The Sons of Navarus series that begins with Blood Avenged. Anyone who read Vampire Dreams will remember Vasilije, Brandon’s sire. Blood Avenged is his story. The second book in the series, Blood Betrayed, was released in May 2012, and this fall 2012 the third book, Blood Spirit, was released. I’ve even reworked the original Vampire Dreams to be an official prequel to the series, Vampire Dreams Revamped. As the series progresses, readers are drawn into the civil war between the Sons and the Archons who seek to take over the vampire world. It’s a power struggle to the death, for only one side can win this battle.
The joy of storytelling isn’t in the end result but the journey, not only for the writer but also for the reader. In a world that seems increasingly disposable, I work to create tales that find a home in readers’ hearts and memories..
