With Ani taking her place as queen, there are some enemies lurking she could never imagine! There's a secret compound in California that wants to know the secrets to making a vampire or werewolf.
When they kidnap Ani during a trip back to California they might actually get what they want. Her sister Dana, her lover Diego and other vampires do everything they can to get her back. If they don't succeed,they face being controlled completely by the human race forever!
And, now it is my pleasure to introduce you to the talented author and lovely lady herself, Janiera Eldridge
Janiera Eldridge loves feeding her book addiction and putting all her crazy stories on paper. When she is not immersed in the world of fiction, she is working as an entertainment freelance writer.
Janiera also enjoys connecting with other authors and supporting their work on her book blog Books&Beauty.
And, she has been kind enough to let us get to know her better by sharing with us about how writing helped to keep her sane. Thank you so much, Janiera!
Reading
was my first love way before writing. Reading was always there for me after a
bad day at school, even when I didn’t feel like talking (to my mother who was
always my best friend). I always read a few grades above the reading level and
reading was so natural for me. My favorite thing about reading was that I could
escape into an entirely new world without having to worry about money or how to
get there. Reading was just always an exciting new world in a little, beautiful
case! I read mostly fantasy than other genres; contemporaries didn’t appeal to
me as it was too much like real life.
My
hot passion for writing didn’t come about until 2010 when I was rushed to the
hospital because of horrible chest pains. I was only 20 years-old and thought I
was having a heart attack! In the days leading up to that moment I was feeling
so tired and sick but never expected anything like this. Turns out I had a bad
case of Mononucleosis that was made worse by working through it. Having Mono was a dark time for me. I was
usually confined to my bed because I was too sick to get out of it or do
anything else. I tell everyone I have no idea where the plot for Soul Sisters came from. One day I just
dragged my laptop into bed and started writing about twin sisters in a unique
situation: one was vampire and one was a human. I couldn’t write it fast enough
like it was flowing through my blood.
After
a few months when the Mono should have gone away my symptoms were getting
worse. After many months, blood tests and so forth, I was diagnosed with
Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia (or Fibro as I call it) is when the nerves in your
brain are over active causing you terrible pain and fatigue. It also led me to
develop Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). I couldn’t go very far or do a lot and
writing became like a dear friend to me. It was always there when I needed it.
It never betrayed me (I had complete control over it) and it didn’t do anything
I didn’t want it to.
Only
now can I admit I was flirting with depression and writing along with books was
the only thing that kept me from going over the edge. My characters and their
exciting lives gave me comfort and hope. The world I created for them was solid
and any surprises were designed by me. Writing is as natural to me as breathing
now and during one of my darkest moments….I guess you can say it kept me sane.
