What was your first book/story published?

Into The Shadows.

What inspired you to write Into The Shadows?

I wanted to create an original story and in all the paranormal books I've read the paranormals like werewolves, vampires etc are always in hiding. So I decided to create a world where humans co-existed alongside paranormals and the plot built from there.

What character in Into The Shadows is the most/least like you, and in what ways?

Ava James. I'm like her in appearance on some qualities like long black hair, blue eyes, Ava's piercings and I'm stubborn like Ava too. I'm loyal, loving and caring like she is also.

What is your favorite part in Into The Shadows?

Now available in paperback and eBook formats from Tule Publishing is Blood Bound, book one in the all-new Blood Ravangers from USA Today Bestselling Author Traci Douglass.



When did you become interested in storytelling?

As an only child, it seems like I’ve been a storyteller my whole life. I used to make up stories to entertain myself as a kid, but I never really considered writing them down until November of 2011, when I had a dream that refused to leave me until I got it down on paper.

What was your first book/story published?

Seal of Destiny, 2013.

What inspired you to write Blood Bound?

Honestly, this story was very much a product of what I was seeing happening in the world around me and it was my way of dealing with it. I asked myself, what if there was an alternate universe, one where humans were low man on the totem pole species-wise, but still had these same issues to deal with. Was a happily ever possible under those circumstances, and what would it require the characters to do to get there.

What character in Blood Bound is the most/least like you, and in what ways?

Ha! That’s a great question. Hmm, I’d say Anna is probably most like me. She’s smart, skeptical, and wants to do the right thing. Least like me I would hope would be Basher. He was fun to write, but man, he’s not a nice guy at all.

What is your favorite part in Blood Bound?

In the year 2069 the Apocalypse came and went, but Jesus didn't show up, as some expected.

Instead, a cataclysmic war, natural disasters and pandemics eradicated 90 percent of earth's population. Now, in 2131, a totalitarian government rules the world from the majestic, opulent capitol of Carthage, Tunisia. Blamed for igniting the war, religion and religious books are banned. Citizens who will not renounce their religion are sent to work camps.

Grant Cochrin, imprisoned in a bleak petroleum camp in what was once North Dakota, leads his family and friends to escape and embark on a long, dangerous quest for a Christian community. Their resource in this journey? A cherished page torn from the now banished Bible---a remnant of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount handed down from Grant's grandparents.

My Answer: 

 To be completely honest with everyone, I'm writing this answer on Sept. 20th, and I'm not currently aware of any big titles coming out around Thanksgiving. I'll just have to wait and see if there are any books on sale on Black Friday.
