What inspired you to write this book?
This novel idea came out of the blue for me. Little did I know last year that a dark, vampiric love story was about to unfold. I have a list of other writing projects that I have outlined and have been planning on writing before this story. But, one day, I saw a post on Facebook for a novella on Kindle Vella. I hadn’t even heard of Kindle Vella. Elven Heartbound by Elizabeth Ash hooked me for several episodes. It is a sweet elvish love story. But what intrigued me the most is the way it’s written. It’s like a soap opera, in novella form, with short quick episodes coming out every week. This sort of writing style captured my attention. Then one night Salvation by Blood came to me in a dream. When I awoke the next day, I grabbed my notebook and jotted out 48 pages of notes, ideas, and outlines. I knew this story would be perfect in novella form. So, I set out writing it with the purpose that I would put out episodes on Kindle Vella. I discovered a deep enjoyment of writing in the novella style. By December, Salvation by Blood Part 1 was on Kindle Vella, but I found the platform was not a good fit for me. Once Part 2 was complete, I worked on getting both parts published. Honestly, I thought Salvation by Blood was only going to be a Part 1 thing, the second Part was because these character’s story arc kept consuming my dreams and since it’s written in a novella style, with a quick plot line and short episodic scenes, their story kept evolving like a TV series. The characters’ story arcs continued to inspire new ideas and plot twists. Not only did I enjoy writing in this format, but I loved delving into a dark adult romantic world. Salvation by Blood surprised me, as I wasn’t expecting to write it and had lots of fun doing so. Part 3 is in the works and I am aiming for it to be the final chapter in Demarkus and Skylar’s story arc, but who knows. The characters take the story to places I sometimes am not privy to. 😉

Skylar by no means had the perfect life- but she was free. Until the night vampires broke into her apartment and snatched her. Now, she finds herself in a real life hell, the kind horror movies are made of. She’s gifted to a vampire lord to serve as his pet, but only for a week. Three certainties exist. He will take her blood, take her body, then take her life.
Demarkus Osei, Lord of his clan, is obliged to attend the 20th Vampiric Centennial Conclave. A task he loathes. For one week, he’s given a human to fulfill his duty to his family. But this year there is something different about his slave. Aside from the fact that he and every vampire at the Conclave find her blood mouthwatering, she’s unique. There’s an inescapable pull. He can’t quite put his finger on it, but the urge to protect her, to spare her from pain, is overwhelming. But he’s a vampire. His thirst and hunger must be sated.
As Skylar and Demarkus navigate through his basic vampiric cravings, they can’t ignore the cruel reality of their situation, their inner monsters, or the looming end of their time together. This once rational, put-together lord, now finds himself making rash illicit decisions, to spare her and himself from pain. Will he choose to follow what is demanded, resulting in her demise, or will he defy every vampiric decree?
Marisette Burgess’ new twist on vampiric folklore doesn’t disappoint as she seamlessly weaves a Beauty and the Beast trope into the rich tapestry of a vampire love story. Skylar and Demarkus’ slave/master relationship keeps the reader wanting more as she tries desperately to keep the vampire’s needs under control while he fights his urge to not fall in love.

Marisette Burgess
Marisette loves writing about the fantastical and pushing her imagination to the limit. Her son asked her once why she writes and her response was because it allows her to cope with her crazy. She likes to explore themes like girl power, diversity, perseverance, and fighting against the odds. Stories with diverse backgrounds hold a special place in her heart. One reason mixed representation and diverse families are important to her is because her family is mixed. She lives in Florida with her husband, two children and two rescue Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mixes named Ivory and Ebony.
Other than writing, she enjoys traveling and relaxing in front of serene landscapes with her family. Things she cannot live without are flip-flops, coke zero, and yoga capris.
Marisette is author to the Symbol of Hope Trilogy on Amazon a YA Supernatural Adventure Romance.
Latest projects include a sultry vampiric Novella- Salvation by Blood
