Saturday Shifters-Stacey Brutger
Tell me about
yourself. How long have you been
writing?
I came into reading late, but
once I picked up my first book, I haven’t stopped since. I devoured books in
every genre. That love changed subtly when I tried my hand at writing my own
stories. I’ve been writing for over ten years, learning and improving my craft.
After finishing ten books, I finally took the plunge and published my first
book (Electric Storm) last year. It’s been a very exciting ride.
Where did the
inspiration for this story come from?
Inspiration is everywhere. For BloodSworn,
inspiration came in the form of one the title: BloodSworn. The plot quickly
unfolded from there. But plot isn’t everything. Merrick, the lion shifter in my
latest release, had a big hand in helping the characters come alive. He was
domineering and very pigheaded on how he thought the story should be written.
Trina was more subtle but no less demanding. Together, they were magic, their
devotion and love touching, and they made the book come to life.
Who is your favorite
shifter character from TV or the movies?
I love science fiction and
fantasy, so picking only one character is tough. How about I pick a movie? I
love the Underworld trilogy. The shifters were larger than life and more than
just monsters. Not to mention the graphics were very well done.
What is your writing
space like?
I converted a bedroom in my
house to a makeshift library. I have a big, old metal desk that takes up a
third of the room and half a dozen bookshelves packed high with thousands of
books. Unfortunately, that doesn’t leave me much space to write. I have just
enough space on my desk to place my laptop and that’s it. I love it!

More about BloodSworn
Ten
years after they bound her powers and banished her, Trina Weyebridge had
successfully carved out a new existence in the human world. She put her life as
a witch behind her. But, her magic would not be denied, the bindings holding
them in check are weakening. Vampires who crave a taste of the powers stored in
her blood are hunting her with deadly force and have kidnapped her sister to
lure her out. In a desperate bid to free her sister and gain her own freedom,
Trina bargains with the all-too-tempting lion shifter who calls out the long
forgotten wild side in her...she would be his concubine in return for pack
protection. She’d be safe…until they found out the truth.
UNDENIABLE DESIRE.
FORBIDDEN LOVE. INESCAPABLE DESTINY.
