Vampires are people too…
That’s what Sadie Stanton has been trying to get people to understand, and what the business she’s setting up in the paranormal hotspot of Adelheid, Connecticut, is aiming to do. Cameron’s Law has made all supernatural creatures legal citizens, and the boy next door has suddenly become the werewolf next door.
Not everyone likes that.
Now vampires have started attacking werewolves without provocation, and as if her fledgling business and preternatural rights poster girl status isn’t keeping her busy enough, people are looking to Sadie to help keep these events from giving their enemies the ammunition to repeal the law and push them back in the shadows.
But her notoriety comes with an even higher cost. Can she find a way to keep the city’s two biggest paranormal populations from descending into chaos and war, while her very help shoves her into the crossfire?

Interview:
Babs: When did you know you wanted to write?
Mia: I was fourteen. I had been reading adult level fantasy since I was eleven, so I’m not sure what happened three years later to inspire it, but I wrote my first “novel” then. (I had written little things as a kid, like most do, but this was my first “serious” effort.) It was horrible. A high fantasy epic quest that took all of forty pages with magic, fated lovers, girls with flower names and a quest with an evil wizard as the final boss.
Babs: What would you like your readers to get out of your books?
Mia: I don’t write high literature or books to study, I just write to entertain people. So if someone finishes a book of mine and says, “I really enjoyed that” and they felt engaged by my story, then I say my job has been well done.
Babs: Do you have a current project in the works?
Mia: I always have current projects. Real Life (silly thing that it is) has slowed my writing time lately, but I have an epic fantasy years in the making nearing the end, and the next Adelheid book in process.
Babs: Do you have a ritual when you are writing?
Mia: I don’t. I’m a spaztastic writer and just write when the mood strikes, so where ever I am, whatever device I have in hand (I’ve written on my phone before), that’s when I do it.
Babs: Hobbies outside of writing?
Mia: I go uber-geek on my hobbies. I do play-by-email role-playing, which is more like collaborative storytelling. And I play World of Warcraft. I also try to read as much as I can, but for some reason, I never feel like that’s a “hobby.”
Babs: What book or books are you currently reading?
Mia: “Age of Iron” by Angus Watson is sitting on my nightstand. Usually I have more than one going, but right now, that’s it until I decide on the next book on my Nook to read. (Though I read very fast, so between the time I am replying to this interview and the time it’s posted, I’ll probably have read a few, lol.)
Babs: If you could be one character from one of your books who would it be?
Mia: From one of my own books? Dakota. She’s too much fun.
Babs: Favorite drink?
Mia: I’ll admit, I drink more soda than I should.
Babs: What is your favorite ice cream?
Mia: Strawberry.
Babs: What is your favorite food?
Mia: I grew up rural, so I’m a meat and potatoes kind of girl. Nothing beats a good steak dinner to me.
Babs: Anything else you would like to add?
Mia: Thank you for having me, and I hope that people check out my Adelheid series and enjoy them! You can find me at my website (http://www.miadarien.com), where you can find links to my Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads!
About the Author:
Born a Connecticut Yankee in nobody’s court, Mia Darien grew up to brave snow and talk fast. She started reading when she was three and never looked back, soon frequently falling asleep with a book under her cheek. (Something she still does, though these days it’s her Nook as often as a paperback.)
At eleven, she discovered “Night Mare” by Piers Anthony and entered the world of grown-up fantasy fiction and it was all over from there. She started writing at fourteen, then met vampires as a teenager and the concept for what would become Adelheid was soon born. Epic fantasy remains her first love, but she enjoys writing whatever stories come to mind in any genre.
Now she loves both writing and helping her indie community with her freelancing. A geek till the end, she enjoys role-play by email games and World of Warcraft when she has the time. Married to her very own Named Man of the North, she lives with him, their mini-tank (also known as their son) and pets, who usually act more childish than the child.
