Q: Elise Whyles – you wrote the first book in the Forsaken Series, FORSAKEN HEART. Did you intend for this to develop into a series? Why did you choose this genre?
Elise Whyles: Yes, I had the idea for a series and this is such a great topic. I picked the genre simply because I could have a lot of fun with it. I’d started reading some paranormal romances and fell in love with the idea of writing about mythology, and such, and this was the easiest way to do it. It didn’t hurt that my co-author is a huge fan of paranormal romance as well.
Q: What draws you to write in the paranormal genre?
Ciara Lake: I like the ability to be inventive and more imaginative in paranormal fantasy type of books. There is no limit to what you can create. I enjoy the freedom it gives the author to create worlds, creatures, people, places, heroes, and villains.
Elise Whyles: The freedom to create believable characters in unbelievable settings. The only limits are those I put in place. There’s a lot of freedom and excitement to be had creating a world and species as we move along.
Q: Elise Whyles--You write in multiple genres in addition to paranormal, including LGBT and contemporary. Do you have a favorite? Why?
Elise Whyles: Hmm, I have to say of all the genres I write in, the one I love the most is paranormal. But combining all three genres is even more fun so when I can write a story which features an LGBT paranormal character in a contemporary setting it’s even more fun.
Q: Ciara Lake--You also write in multiple genres besides paranormal, including romance, fantasy, and SciFi romance. What made you decide to write paranormal fiction? Do you like to incorporate romance somewhere in your story despite the primary genre?
Ciara Lake: To me paranormal is just an extension of fantasy. And Sci Fi is another genre that is similar allowing for the imagination to be the only limitation. They are very similar genres. Each of them allows for the creative reach I mentioned above. I started out wanting to be a romance writer. The paranormal, sci fi, and or fantasy was created to be the worlds for the lovers to exist in. I like creating fantastic characters who are drawn to true love. I am a romantic who dreams bigger then real life.
Q: How do you create credibility for your paranormal stories or fantasy worlds?
Elise Whyles: When I build a world I rely on what I can see. I try to intersperse what we have in our world into their world. If a reader can see the image I’ve tried to describe, that lends itself the credibility.
Q: What would cause your readers to stop reading?
Elise Whyles: Stagnation, is a huge concern when it comes to writing. If you’re working on a major story line, such as Forsaken and you’re retelling the same story over and over in each book, a reader will lose interest and stop reading.
Q: How did the two of you get together and decide to write a series?
Elise Whyles: We met when we published with another publishing house, which has long since closed. I began helping Ciara with her writing, and when I came up with the tiny idea of a series of paranormal stories I asked her if she’d like to jump on board and develop the plan and get it going.
Q: Why will readers care about your characters? How will they relate? Do you have villains and heroes?
Elise Whyles and Ciara Lake: Our characters are very relatable. Each is flawed in their own way, be it obvious or not. When we began talking with our characters we wanted to ensure they were 3-D. They needed to have a personality – in fact most of the time we were able to create characters who came to life on their own. There are villains, and heroes, and heroes who are villains.
Q: Elise Whyles and Ciara Lake--What’s next?
Ciara Lake: I’m continuing to write books for the Forsaken series. I also have several other projects in mind such as writing the next in the Triaxen and Xihirah books.
Elise Whyles: I’m currently working on a Romantic Suspense Paranormal as well as the next book in the Forsaken Series.
Q: Tell us about you. What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
Ciara Lake: I live on a farm and I enjoy being outside with our animals. I like to travel and drive. I also embroider and other crafts.
Elise Whyles: Travel is a big one, my family and I routinely take day trips all over BC and Alberta. We love the coast of BC.

About FORSAKEN HEART (TFS #1)
Punished for sins not her own, can a mortal claim her vampire mate?
The world of immortals must unite to save both themselves and the mortals they co-exist with from an ancient evil.
For Bede MacTaggert this means trusting in the warrior sent for her sister—a man of mystery, of power, and one who could easily sweep her into a world she's destined to be part of.
An imperial guard to the king of vampires, Gawain has always tuned out the needs of the flesh. Dedicating himself to the service of the royals, he's lived on the fringes of his people for centuries. Now he's forced from the shadows and into the arms of a woman who will awaken his heart and body to a passion unequaled.

The flame within a dragon warrior's heart awakens Arianna's passion as she begins a journey in which she will discover she's something more than she ever imagined possible.
The realm of the dragons is a world of magic, danger, and mystery. For centuries they've been at war with the vampires, but now the two enemies must work together to save all immortals, and the mortals they co-exist with, from an ancient evil. In order to do so, they need the help of the Forsaken, descendants of immortals who were cast out into the human realm, their memories wiped clean of their true heritage.
Clayne MacDagon is a powerful dragon warrior who is sent on a mission to find one of the Forsaken. Although he's told that this woman is his fated mate, he can't believe it could possibly be true. Arianna Mergliano possesses both dragon and vampire blood, and Clayne has an intense hatred for anything even remotely related to vampires, the evil beings who were responsible for his beloved twin's death.
When Arianna meets Clayne, she's convinced that the man is insane, or maybe he's a warlock or even the devil himself, but whichever it is, she wants nothing to do with him.
Clayne knows he can't fail at his mission. And once he meets Arianna he also knows that what he's been told is true—she is, ironically, his intended mate.
Convincing her to accept him is only the beginning. He has to protect her from those who might want her dead. Together, they must face the shadows and evil that have long plagued the immortal realms and find a way to survive the coming war.
