Book Spotlight & Interview with Lisa Casian

Getting to know author Lisa Casian today....

Can you please tell us about your latest/upcoming book(s)?

Blood Bond follows the story of twin brothers Cassian and Bowen who are vampires. This is book two of the Blood Shade series and follows the story of Cassian. He's charged with caring for a friend who's been bitten by a werewolf and is fighting the change leaving him crippled. After hiring a healer for him, Cassian begins to have feelings for her. This is a problem since Cassian is a Shade and is the vessel of the goddess of chaos. They team up with Bowen to save the lives of those they care about, as the goddess intends on releasing a malevolent evil into the world.

How did you come with the idea for this story? I wanted to explore the secondary characters in book one. Cassian and Colin wouldn't let me forget them.

Who is your ultimate "book boy/girlfriend"? You know, that hottie you read about and drool over. Oh, my! How many do I have? I'd have to pick Acheron from Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter Series. He's good with kids, he's a god who turns blue in his god-like form, he's just…yeah.

Who is your Celebrity crush? And what would you do if you ever meet them? Okay, since I would feel wrong picking a guy who is way younger than me, I'd have to say Jon Bon Jovi. OMG…I was a groupie way back when. I'd love to spend the day with him, watch him play, and take lots of selfies.

If you could collaborate with another author on a secret project, who would you pick to work with and why? I'd say Elizabeth Gilbert. I'd love to work with her on something similar to Eat, Pray, Love. Travelling, rebuilding my mojo, and finding love (okay, maybe not love, I'm married), but writing something from hands on experience would be awesome!

When Bowen pleads for Cassian's help in saving his beloved from Eris, Cassian must fulfill his duty as Shade and lead the shadow army, risking more than just his soul. 

Centuries ago, Cassian formed a bond with the goddess of chaos and stripped all that made him human, releasing the evil inside him. He became a Shade, leader of the shadow army. But Cassian could never allow the evil to fully entrench his heart.

Anna is running away from her life and her father. Switching places with her maid, she accepts a job as a healer, unaware that the job would require much more—her body and her heart. She gives both willingly to Cassian.

When Bowen pleads for Cassian's help in saving his own beloved from Eris, Cassian must fulfill his duty as a Shade and submit to Eris in order to save her. But it requires releasing Nyx out of Hades, along with a shadow army to rule over the humans. And with Anna's life at stake, Cassian has much more to lose than just his soul.

Only working together with his brother will allow them to save those they love and, hopefully, the world. If they don't kill each other first.

Teaser:

Cassian pulled away, releasing her lips from his, but remained close enough to feel the heat of her breath on his face. Her scent a mask he wore over his heart. He wanted to tell her to be afraid of him, of Bowen, even of Bas. To stop risking her life for them. But all that came out was, "Drop the visual of him and think of me."

She smiled, a hint of blush on her cheeks, as he felt a fool. Grateful that they stopped, he stepped out of the carriage and into the night.

The ship bobbled in the still, calm waters. The sails fluttered as the men began preparing the voyage. But Cassian didn't pay much attention to that. What he did see was a tall woman with flowing red hair waiting for them on the deck. Anna let out a groan.

Versandi.

Versandi smiled a brilliant smile at Cassian, and Bowen laughed beside him. "She is something, isn't she?"

"She's not here for me, dumbass," Cassian scolded.

Bowen dropped his smile.

"Isabeau wants you to feed." Cassian turned to look at his brother. "And if you ever, ever, lay your hands on Anna again, I will kill you."

Bowen narrowed his gaze. Cassian was glad Anna had already boarded with Samir so she wouldn't feel guilty of the threat. Bowen seemed to recover, and a smile spread on his face, though his eyes were hollow. "You better keep her close then." He tapped his forehead and climbed on board.
