Inspiration and Cocoa

Bloodmark at Spyhouse

Meeting with amazing people is the best way to brainstorm and feel inspired. And what better way to do that than over a cup of hot cocoa with whip cream at the Spyhouse in Minneapolis.


The beautiful author photos of me from last summer that are on this site, my author site and used in the book itself are by the delightful Eliesa Johnson. She is a goddess.


We met and talked logos, business, photography, design, books, life and so much more. I feel endlessly inspired when I spend time with her. T...

If Bloodmark Became a Movie

Bloodmark by Aurora Whittet sketches

I have been asked many times if Bloodmark becomes a movie, who would I pick to play my characters. It’s an odd question because there is always new talent coming so who knows really and one of those up-and-coming talented actors or actresses could be just the one, but when forced to answer I have a few I can name.


When I close my eyes I always see Maggie Smith playing Mother Rhea Vanir. I adore her from her role on Hook to Harry Potter and Downtown Abbey she is amazing. And if you ask me who I...

Leery of Werewolves in Young Adult?

Renee Reads Bloodmark 4 Stars

If you’re like a lot of young adult paranormal romance and fantasy readers, you might be leery of werewolves. They tend to be repulsive species in a lot of books or maybe you didn’t like Jacob Black’s character from Twilight. Overall werewolves have always been second to Vampires for preference of readers. I have to say though, as far as werewolves go, I do have a soft spot for Remis Lupin in Harry Potter. He was a delightfully tortured soul.

To inspire or to be inspired?

Author Aurora Whittet mentoring Willmar Public Schools at Prairie Lakes Youth Program

When I was asked by Heather at Prairie Lakes Youth Program in Willmar, MN to talk to their students I thought I would have a great opportunity to inspire them. So when I drove there on Friday, February 7, 2014 I had no idea what a profound impact they would have on me.


I talked to two groups of students, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each group consisted of both boys and girls. And I found myself staring into the eyes of teenagers. In my day job I present to important corporate...

I had an amazing time hanging out at Book World in Willmar, MN signing Bloodmark at the mall! The staff was delightful, excited and so welcoming. They made me feel like one of the family!

A few fans had their photos taken with me too. Which was a new and very humbling experience. I adore my fans!
