Goodreads asked D. Alyce Domain:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

D. Alyce Domain Well, Dominic’s Nemesis was born of my love of Gothic novels and dark paranormal romance. I like Gothic stories but there’s not a lot of good Gothic romance out there. Most of the really good ones were written by classic authors who are deceased. Phantom of the Opera, Rebecca, The Count of Monte Cristo, Jane Eyre (and anything written by Poe). The modern Gothics are hit & miss…they’re also few and far in between. So I figured I’d write my own. Right about this time, paranormals were coming into their own…and I saw them as lesser Gothics. (No insult intended) What I mean is that they have many of the same elements, but paranormals usually have better endings…the hero is always redeemable, the couple always end up together, and the bad guy gets his at the end. In Gothics things sometimes end gloomy. (which honestly, I don’t mind, but it can get depressing after awhile.) So, I decided to write a kinda genre bender that has all the good elements of 3 romantic sub-genres (Paranormal, Gothic, Historical) and Dominic’s Nemesis was born.
