Book: The Darkest Gate (The Descent Series Book 2)
Indie Publisher: Red Iris Books
Bio:
SM
Reine is a writer and graphic designer obsessed with werewolves, collecting
swords, and the occult. She spins tales of dark fantasy to escape the drudgery
of the desert, where she lives with her husband, the Helpful Toddler, and a
small army of black animals.
Book Synopsis:
When Elise Kavanagh retired from demon hunting, she swore it would be
permanent. But an attack from a powerful necromancer forced her back
into the business, and now she's trying to balance her normal boyfriend
and normal job with everything supernatural.
Mr. Black is a demon hunter gone rogue. He's enslaving angels and stealing ethereal artifacts in pursuit of forbidden immortality, and an old grudge drives him to make his final stand in Elise's territory. Destroying her life and killing her friends isn't the goal, but it's a definite perk.
A demonic overlord offers to join against Mr. Black and protect Elise's loved ones. All she needs to do is ally with the demons she's sworn to kill, at the cost of her morals--and maybe her immortal soul. But once she crosses that line, there's no turning back.
Nothing is sacred when Heaven and Hell collide on Earth...

Questions:
1.
Why did you decide to publish with an indie press?
Niche
publishers are a nice way to group together authors who write books with
similar subject matter. If a reader gets through my entire backlist and wants
to find something else that's dark and paranormal, all they have to do is check
out the Red Iris Books site. There's not much to discover just yet, but there
are a couple more authors joining us this year, so it's looking very exciting!
2.
What kind of books do you like to read?
I
love richly-textured fantasy worlds that take advantage of the genre to tell
very personal, very human stories. I also adore the strong heroines of urban
fantasy, but I'm not a big fan of characters with spunky agency, so it's tricky
finding the good stuff sometimes. Seanan Maguire is great, though, and so is
Kit Whitfield. I'm also a big Jacqueline Carey fan.
3.
Chocolate or vanilla?
Vanilla!
You can dress it up with anything--sprinkles, marshmallow, fruit, cookie dough,
brownie chunks, whatever. It doesn't get too overpowering, but it can still be
just as exciting as chocolate. ;)
