Then one night, my life turned upside down. Someone was murdered right around the corner and suddenly a hot wizard detective with a perfect bubble butt from MEPA, The Magical Entity Protection Agency, swooped in and asked for my help with the victims’ ghosts. Working with the detective soon leads to a race to stop a killer who is bent on exposing the supernatural community to humans with more deaths.

Lori Aisling and I met through mutual friends. I love that she considers herself a country girl!
Author Bio
Lori Aisling lives her life wrapped up in the fantasy worlds that dance around in her brain. Blessed with the gift of gab, Lori started her obsession with storytelling by working in the radio industry. Her desire to delve deeper into other worlds has led her down a path overflowing with magic, survival, love, and honor. Lori lives in Colorado with her lovable brute of a BF on a little farm. When she’s not writing, she’s probably playing with goats, chasing chickens or sinking her fingers into the dirt of her garden.
Tell us about yourself:
Hmm.
Where to start? I am a simple
country girl that was raised on a cattle ranch in western Colorado. After high school graduation, I moved to
Alaska to be closer to my family that had relocated there. After a couple of years, I realized the cold
and dark winters were not something I was going to be able to handle, so I got
in my car and started driving. I ended
up in eastern Washington in an itty bitty town that somehow called to me. I had taken a job in a gold mine in the bush
of Alaska, so I lived in Washington in the winter and worked in the mine in the
summer. Cooking for a 24-hour crew of
gold miners will open your eyes- let me tell ya. It was an amazing experience that I wouldn’t
trade for anything. I saw more bears than people in those summers, about
drowned at one point, and saw scenery that most people never get to view. Since we were completely off-grid (there
wasn’t even a road to get there), I added to my already impressive knowledge of
sustainable living. I began writing at
that time- having no TV, radio or phone service opens you to other methods of
self-entertainment.
Back in Washington, I was offered a job at a
radio station and decided to take it. I
worked as a live DJ for a morning show (and gosh darn it, we were damn funny!)
and I also learned how to record shows and produce commercials. I had a great time and met some amazing
people in the years that I worked there.
When the depression of 2009 struck, the company I worked for was hit
hard. Many of the full-time employees
were laid-off at that time, and I was one of the casualties.
I had been in communication with a friend from
Colorado for a while and it almost seemed that the lay-off forced me to make
some tough decisions. I had never had
any desire to return to Colorado, but I didn’t want to give up on the budding
relationship I was in. So I yet again
packed all my belongings and headed across the country. I have been back in Colorado for 10 years
now, and I am happy to report that the relationship was worth it. He drives me insane and I gladly return the
favor at every opportunity. I work for a
water conservancy district and live on a small farm. I enjoy gardening,
canning, cheese-making, and a million other self-sustaining tasks. Writing has
been a passion since I was young- a way to give life to the worlds and
characters that live in my head. I am thrilled to be able to show readers my
worlds and just hope that they decide to stick with me for a while– I have a
lot to show them!
When did you know you wanted to be an author:
Honestly, I never really thought it would
happen for me. I just assumed that my
writing would be simply ‘for me’. But
about a year ago, I decided to give it a try and I am so glad that I did. I have dreamed of seeing a book that I wrote
in print since I was in elementary school.
What genres do you like to read? Are these the genres you write in?
I will read darn near anything: true crime,
mystery, historical fiction, romance, even some political non-fiction if it’s
poignant– there isn’t much I shy away from.
However, I always return to fantasy.
It’s my #1 favorite genre and always will be. As a child, I might have read Little House on
the Prairie and Black Beauty, but I was absolutely engrossed with The Wind in
the Willows. Life is so real– books are
a wonderful way to get a break from the reality of the daily grind. I highly
doubt I will ever write outside of the fantasy genre- it’s just where my brain
lives.
Is your book for adults, young adults, or children?
Adults.
I may release a book someday that could work for a YA audience, but I
tend to be quite graphic in my writing.
What is your current release or project?
The Change: Earth Realm was released on the
24th of October. It’s a
post-apocalyptic/Dystopian fantasy trilogy. I am currently finishing the
re-writes and polishing of book 2; The Change: Four Others- and hope to have it
released before Christmas.
Tell us about the key characters
Let me warn you- I am in love with these
characters, so forgive me if I get a little worked up telling you about them!
Bristol- She is our main character and the key to saving Earth (no pressure,
right?!). This girl is the total
package- smart, savvy, and wily- yet compassionate and devoted. I wrote Bristol to encompass every trait all
us ladies work towards in the path to better ourselves.
Ristan-Here’s an insider tip that I
haven’t told anyone except my editor- Ristan is actually the character that is
telling me this story. Most people
would assume it would be Bristol, but it’s not.
It’s this big, strong, alpha male that is dedicated to Bristol and her
quest. He has a very ‘no holds barred’
approach to life, but he’s quite soft when it comes to her. This guy hides a
beast inside- literally- and when awoken, expect stuff to get broken.
Bror- Bror is the ‘Viking’ of the bunch- blue-eyed, blonde hair, and tall in
stature. He embodies comfort and
understanding for Bristol, so you can expect him to give you a big case of the
‘feels’ when he’s not slaying demon-spawn.
Bane- You’ve heard of a ‘silver-tongued devil’, right? Well, Bane is silver-eyed instead, and with
his dominating personality and incredible knowledge of the gods and their
powers, he adds a lot to Bristol’s team.
If you like your guys with a hint of ‘dom’ in their character, he’s your
daddy. I won’t say more since he enters
the series late in book 1. You’ll have
to read book 2 to really get a taste of Bane.
Caspian- Cas plays a very small role in book 1, so like Bane, you’ll need to
continue the series to really sink your teeth into this funny and friendly
member of the team. Sneak peek- every one of her Other’s has been granted traits by
numerous gods- Caspian’s jovial and easy-going nature is also host to one of
the most vicious and destructive powers that could ever be bestowed. This green-eyed darlin’ should not be
underestimated.
Jessie, Jayson, & Boz- These are Bristol’s three best friends. Jessie is a red-headed, fiery female who is also a tiger shifter, Jay is a blue-eyed vamp with a penchant for brutality, and Boz is the loyal, sweet-natured Fae. Unlike many other series, her friends aren’t just ‘filler’. These three are legitimate fighting machines; each of them bringing unique gifts to the table.
Their
loyal steeds- I have to mention the horses. Any reader who loves the different breeds and
appearances of horses will love this element of the book. Not only are they a mode of transportation,
but they are also an integral part of the team. And yes, Max is real and the
most incredible horse I have ever had the honor of knowing.
What is your blurb or synopsis of the book?
A Nebraska farm girl
who is more then she appears to be. Four
powerful warriors created to guide, defend, and empower her at all costs.
A decade ago, an apocalyptic event raptured the majority of
the planet’s inhabitants, the remaining citizens left scrambling to survive in
this new world. Now, hordes of evil
beings wipe out the town Bristol was calling home, and she finds herself as the
focus of a story too impossible to be true.
Fighting demons, beasts, and her destiny, Bristol will need to embrace
this game the gods have created in order to succeed. Awakening her power, relying on her friends,
and reuniting with the four men that hold an equal stake in this battle will
lead her to the pinnacle of her journey.
The continued existence of Earth hangs in the balance. Literally.

Ristan’s eyes blazed amber and she saw his fangs emerge. His body
seemed to morph, becoming even larger. His hands ended in sharp, black claws
that shredded one side of Fear’s face. “You
must run, Bristol! This is the only chance we have to save you and the realm.” The
thought came at her as a snarl and Bristol scrambled to her feet, running out
the door and down the street, heading the opposite direction that they had come
when they entered the town. She ran hard, pumping her legs, her lungs screaming
for more air. Tears streamed down her face, leaving Ristan filling her with
dread. As she approached the outskirts of town, in the thick darkness she saw
movement headed at her at a breakneck speed. Phase was running straight at her,
his eyes glowing the same amber as the man for whom he was created. Seeing the
giant warhorse filled her with resolve. If he would run headlong into the
battle, she would not run from it. “Wait
for me, Bror. I cannot leave him,” she said, resolved.
“Bristol, NO!” Bror
screamed in her head. “Fear will kill
you! If you die, all is lost!” The anguish was apparent in his thoughts,
yet she could not walk away from this. As the horse neared her, Bristol braced
herself and softened her knees. Right as he was about to pass her, Bristol
reached up and grabbed the saddle horn, swinging her right leg into the air.
Flinging herself onto his back Bristol leaned into the horse’s mane. “Go to him,” she commanded the steed.
The horse laid his ears back as his neck stretched forward and he raced across
the gravel street back in the direction she had just fled. Coming up fast to
the bar, she saw Ristan stumble out the door. Blood marred his features and he
leaned into the doorframe for balance. Black tendrils of inky ooze were sliding
through the windows, and following him out the door, trying to surround him.
Phase let out a snort and a whinny and Ristan looked up. “Grab onto me, Ristan. I will not leave you here. If you die, I die.
Leaving you is not balance. You are mine.” She heard Bror screaming in her
mind, his fear for her apparent as she projected to both of them. Approaching
at breakneck speed, she leaned off to the side of the horse, extending herself,
crooking her elbow. Ristan hooked her arm in his and swung up behind her. Never
breaking stride, Phase continued to run at top speed, Bristol leaned over his
neck, Ristan wrapped around her back.
“Gods,
Bristol! Where are ya, girl! Ristan!” Bror was frantic
in his thoughts.
“I have him,
Bror. We will find you soon. Keep riding. Keep yourself and my friends safe, we
will catch up soon. None of us can risk getting captured. I will never leave
either of you behind. You will not sacrifice yourselves for me. You are my
Others, not my lambs to be slaughtered.”
Riding
at a full run around the outskirts of the town, Phase dodged obstacles, cleared
fallen trees and kept his footing as they raced from the settlement in the
direction the rest of the team was headed. Leaving the mayhem behind them in a
cloud of dust, Phase carried them into the safety of night.
Do you have a favorite scene?
I think I do- and then I re-read a section and
change my mind. However, I really do
love the scene with Bristol, Bror and Ristan in the mountains when the guys are
helping her hone her powers. I feel that
this particular section really cements the bond between the team. The character building that takes place is
really relevant and important in giving readers an ‘insider look’ at the
dynamics of the group.
What advice would you give a beginner?
Heck, we are all beginners, right? If you have written one book or one hundred-
every new manuscript is a fresh story with its own challenges and hurdles. As an infant novelist myself, I tell myself
every day to just keep writing. Whether
it’s ten words for five thousand– don’t let that story get away from you. The world needs your tale.

Tell us about yourself.
As the youngest of 6, I’ve always been a voracious reader. To this day I have an
obsession with Dr. Seuss. I don’t remember being read to as a child, but my
mother and some of my siblings were also obsessive readers. I do remember my
sister passing books down to me after she had grown too old for them (she’s 10
years older), some of which, like A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, became
lifetime favorites. I also remember stealing my mom’s racy romance novels when
I was 12.
I love to cook, and music holds a huge place
in my heart. My employees often say they can track me by my incessant humming
to some internal soundtrack.
My idols have always been authors, chefs and
musicians. In a perfect world, I would have my own talk show where I’d invite a
great chef to cook for us, my favorite musician to play for us, and we’d all
sit down with one of my favorite writers for great food, music, and
conversation.
When did you know you wanted to be an author?
I never consciously said ‘I want to be an
an author’. I always considered myself more of a storyteller and thought I
should have my own talk show or be a DJ. In a previous job, I used to do events
around the country where I would speak to small audiences and come back with
funny stories, and people would say you should write a book.
Even now, my coworkers occasionally say ‘let’s
write a book’ about something funny or strange that happened with our
customers. When someone says, ‘you can’t make this stuff up’, I laugh.
Well apparently you can -because one day my co-writer on our first book
challenged me to write something with her, based on a funny Facebook thread
that went viral. After that, I decided I can do this. There are stories to
tell, and I have a voice. Now it’s time to see if those stories resonate with
others the way I hear them in my hand.
What genres do you like to read? Are these the same genres you write in?
I grew up reading historical romance, then high
fantasy, PNR and urban fantasy. I also love Contemporary romance. My first
co-write was Contemporary romance and my new book is sci-fi romance. I guess in
the end, I pretty much read anything, but I like stories that are more
uplifting, and I think that carries over into what I want to write.
Is your book for adults, young adults or children?
My first books were definitely adult with
some steamy and explicit sexuality. My new sci-fi romance is also 18+ but is
more of a medium burn. As a Reverse Harem writer, we seem to automatically get
pegged as more adult writers because the choice of multiple, consensual
relationships are outside of everyday norms.
What is your current release or project?
My new book baby , Spectral Vibrations, is
my first solo full length book and releases this month. If all goes as
hoped, it’s the first of a three book arc in a sci-fi romance. I’ve also
started another RH Contemporary Romance, as well as a techno thriller. The
techno thriller is way outside of my wheelhouse, but it was brought to me by a
friend who is not a writer. He really needed someone to give life to the story
in his head and I said I’d give it a shot, but it’s not a sexy book and is more
about the action and conspiracy vs. the relationships. We’ll have to see
if I can slip some romantic longing in there somewhere.
Tell us about the key characters
In Spectral Vibrations, our characters
live on another planet called Krysalis. Our FMC is Tanzy. She’s a
scientist, a Violet, and an Empathic Healer. Orphaned at a very young age, she eventually
bonded to her best friend and fellow scientist, Laz. He’s a Blue aura, and also
helps lead their science team.
We also have Titan, a politician with a Yellow
aura who is appointed to oversee Tanzy and Laz’s science team when their leader
is murdered. Jasper is a Red Warlord who acts as a ceremonial guard for the
leaders of Krysalis, and has a particular interest in Tanzy. Finally, on Earth
we’re introduced to Dixon who is a widower and former army contractor, who
literally stumbles across Tanzy in the desert when she crashes to Earth.
Tanzy is a smart but simple girl who is driven
by her love of science and discovery. She’s not particularly ambitious, and she
has no desire for power. When she gets thrust into the middle of a power play,
she’s a bit disoriented but she’s not naive, and she shouldn’t be
underestimated. If forced to play the game, she will make it a point to not
only learn, but excel at the game.

“Come on, take that pretty face of yours in
there and give her vibration something to spark at.” I can’t help teasing him,
even though I know it’s cruel, considering the obsession he’s had with her for
so long. We’re not usually competitive, but it would be hard to stand by now
and watch her bond with Jasper when I can’t have her myself.
Growling low in his throat, Jasper gives me a
disgusted look before turning toward the door and stopping abruptly again.
“What is the goal?”
Shrugging my shoulders, I wave him on. “Just
find out what’s she’s up to. Either get her to finish, or find out why she’s
hesitating. We need to end this charade so we can move on.”
Rolling his eyes, Jasper punches the door
release before heading down the hall. Facing the screens again, I watch Tanzy
lounge on her stool, feet swinging as she hums to herself. I can’t help but
smile at her unaffected sense of serenity as she waits… for what, I can’t
imagine.
At the hissing of the door lock, she suddenly
straightens and turns toward the computer as if she’s been studiously
researching all this time. Her docile smile freezes for a moment when she sees
Jasper; clearly she was expecting Marin. But she recovers quickly, eyes darting
back down to her page before acknowledging his presence.
“Are you finished?” Jasper asks her as he stops
at the edge of her table, feet planted and arms crossed over his broad chest.
“Almost. I just need to cross-check this one
result,” she says slowly, drawing out the words and squinting at the screen,
making a good show of being engrossed in what she’s doing. “There,” she says
satisfaction evident in her face, “that should do it.”
Turning her gaze back to Jasper she stares at
him innocently. “What are you doing here? Is Marin on his way, or do I need
to call him? I thought there wasn’t a time limit.”
She throws question after question at Jasper to
keep him from asking questions of his own. I have to admit, it’s a good tactic,
but she doesn’t know my friend. He’s like a boulder – silent, massive, and
impenetrable.
Finally discomfited by the silent, unyielding
expression on his face, she starts to fidget, twisting the cup in her hand awkwardly,
as she waits for him to speak. Peeping up under her bangs at him as if
assessing his mood, I find myself watching her carefully, wondering what’s
going through her mind. If I hadn’t been watching so closely, I probably would
have missed it; the small arc of energy that sparked from her hand toward
Jasper as she raised it to push away from the table. Leaning heavily on the
console, I push my face closer to the observation screen, searching for another
sign.
Do you have a favorite scene?
It’s always easy to go for the sexy scene, and I
do love one where she finally gets to explore sex closer to the way we
understand it. But I believe my favorite is probably a flashback and what
I like to refer to as the “Bambi” scene. If you’re a Disney fan, you
instinctively know what that’s going to be about.
What advice would you give a beginner?
Stop comparing and just keep going. It’s so easy
to get caught up in what other people are doing, and feeling like you’re not
measuring up to more prolific writers. This has to be about YOUR journey. I
fall in and out of love with my book over and over during the process of
writing. The trick is to always end when you’ve found your passion for the
story. No matter how discouraged you feel on certain days, be willing to put
words to the page even if they’re nonsense. There’s always a kernel of
truth or magic in everything you write. You’ll never know if you don’t allow it
to happen.
