THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY
Blackstone Vampire Clan Series
Get a behind-the-scenes all-access pass to L.A. McGinnis's Blackstone Vampire Clan Series!
***Synopis***
It was easy to fall in love with Constantine Darke, the vampire king.
And I’m head over
heels for Robert Lockhart, my fiercest protector. Our fates were bound together
long ago, and they will not be broken. But we’re hiding something from the rest
of the Blackstone Clan.
I’m a witch.
An outsider.
The enemy.
And someone else
has discovered my secret. Now I’m trapped in the past, and my only hope is
Constantine and Robert—except these are not the civilized vampires I
love—they’re savage, bloodthirsty strangers. To make it home, I’ll have to win
over these dangerous males, and convince them that we love each other—two
hundred years in the future.
If I ever get home,
I’ll use everything at my disposal—including forbidden black magic—to make my
enemy pay.
What is the sub-genre and trope? Did your characters lead you to this genre or
was that decided before the story began?
Vampire reverse harem, enemies to lovers, fated mates
Are you more character or plot driven?
Character driven, but I have a lot of plot as well.
With many main and secondary characters, how do you keep
them separated in your mind? Do you have
a story/vision board above your workspace?
I have a character sheet for every character, as well as a Pinterest board.
I know from previous interviews that characters take on a
life of their own. Were any of the
characters in this series determined to take their own direction instead of
where you initially wanted them to go?
One of my side characters took over the series, so he’s getting his own series this fall!
Are any of the male POVs based on anyone you know?
Lol, no 😊
Are any of the female POVs based on anyone you know?
Not really, but they’re a combination of traits I admire in other women.
Was there any one character/scene
that was harder to write about than the other?
I always write my sex scenes last, because they’re so hard to get right.
What is your favorite book in the series?
Immortal Betrayal, because this book practically wrote itself.
I know that we aren’t supposed to have “favorites” as far
as our children, but seriously, who’s your favorite character and why?
Probably Seraphina from my Darkfell Clan Vampire series (written in the same world as my featured series)
Series question - Who is your favorite couple and why did you decide on their dynamics?
I really love Logan and Robert, because they lift each other up and don’t judge.
How do you get inside these characters’ heads to find
their perfect HEA?
Haha, I really don’t know. I put everyone through the wringer, tear them apart, and then they all get together in the end.
What scene in this book/series sticks out the most for
you? Why?
Probably the dinner scene with Nathan, because it was so vivid while I was writing it.
Series - Were any of the books harder to write than
others?
Just the first one, because of all the world building and character development.
This question is if you write in MULTIPLE POVs not just
the hero and heroine - I love the multiple POVs in a book. It’s not just the hero and heroine, but we
get inside the heads of multiple characters throughout this series. I feel that it gives the story further
depth. Do you think you will write
another book or series following this multiple POV outline? (if applicable)
I love multiple POV’s, even though not all readers like reading them.
But they really allow the writer to explore each character in a way you can’t in a single POV story.
How did you come up with the title for your book and series?
These books went through several names before I finally settled on what felt right for the story and characters and tropes.
If you met these characters in real life would you get
along?
Haha, they’d probably try to kill me.
Series question – Did you know in advance that you were
going to write this as a series or did one of the characters in book one demand
their own story?
This was always going to be a series, because I had a lot of ideas I wanted to explore.
If your book/series were made into a movie, which actors
do you see as playing your characters?
David Gandy would be wonderful as Constantine, and Tom Hiddleston would make a great Robert.
I can see Margot Robbie as Logan.
Can you give us a hint as to what we can expect
next? Whether a new book and series or a
sequel to an existing series? Can you
share a small tease?
Immortal Vendetta releases on August 29, 2022:
Constantine Darke was everything I ever wanted in a mate. Wild. Ruthless. Untamable.
Robert Lockhart was everything I ever needed. Steadfast. Loyal. Devoted.
And Shane? Shane’s savage nature makes my blood sing.
We’ve restored the Blackstone Vampire Clan to its former glory, and forged a new alliance with the Silver Star witches. But when a dangerous threat from Con’s past appears, not only will Alexander McKenzie destroy the clan, he intends to take us all down with him.
The only way to survive is to access my forbidden power, and the penalty for that is death.
I’m willing to sacrifice everything for my males, but is there another way to beat this monster, and save everything I love?

I’ve always been a survivor—death, violence, cruelty—I’ve seen it all, and I’m still here.
But nothing prepared me for Con, King of the Blackstone Vampire Clan. Nor for Robert Lockhart, who might be able to draw me out of the shadows, after nine long years in hell. Our history goes back a long time, five hundred years to be exact. Generations for me, a single lifetime for them.
As I’m drawn deeper into their savage world of blood feuds and death curses, I feel more alive than ever, despite the dangers. My enemies are no longer human. They’re faster than me, they’re stronger than me, and they have fangs.
But I have magic.
And that will be their downfall.
