'To face the apocalypse, one must rise ...' Rise of One, Blood Brute Book One by Dixon Reuel.

Blurb:
I’m a vampire in a secluded, hidden coven.

A zombie apocalypse has ravaged humanity.

We only have one human to feed on inside our walls.

If he dies, we die. If every human turns into a zombie, we die. If we don’t leave our shielded home and find human survivors, we’ll die.

If none of those things happen, we’ll be eventually found by our ancient enemies, the scythe-wielding Warwolves.

1.      Paperback, hardback, audiobook?

I prefer the feel of paperbacks … but these days it’s easier to read ebooks with being able to adjust the font size, and lighter to hold.

2.      Pick a genre, any genre!

If I could only read one genre it’d have to be rom-suspense and with any pairing.

3.      What is the first book you remember reading?

The Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton.

4.      What book shaped your childhood most?

There isn’t one b...

Twitter | Goodreads | Amazon
Author Interview | Website

Reign of the Unfortunate is my first villainpunk book, but it’s not my first to include queer characters. I don’t write queer books in particular. I don’t think ‘queer’ should be a genre in itself. When I first started writing, a straight reader got upset with Blood Drive since one of my main ensemble characters was queer and they hadn’t been warned ...

1.      Paperback, hardback, audiobook?

Ebooks for me! Far easier on the eyes, and they take up less room in my small house. Beyond that, paperbacks. I like to carry my books with me – another reason for ebooks.

2.      Pick a genre, any genre!

I’m a historical fiction reader since childhood. I read widely, but historical fiction will always be my first love.

3.      What is the first book you remember reading?

It was a book about a family of...
