Genres: Adult, Supernatural

Lexie Arden has a loving husband, a thriving business, and consults with the New Orleans Police Dept on murder cases. Kalfu has given her everything she desires, but challengers to her authority are closing in.
Her dark secret remains hidden from everyone except Magnus. He sees the evil growing stronger, changing her, and hurting her marriage. If Lexie doesn’t rid herself of Kalfu’s influence soon, the consequences will be irreversible.
When she unexpectedly inherits a cottage in the swamp, she uncovers a library of rare books on voodoo. Their spells can reverse the dark lord’s hold and set right the balance between darkness and light. But such magic requires a great sacrifice; one Lexie isn’t willing to make.
With the shadow spirits and raging voodoo gods vying for her attention, Lexie is on the verge of losing everything—her husband, her power, Magnus, and possibly, her life.
The battle for control of the mambo’s soul is about to begin.

Alexandrea Weis RN-CS, PhD, is a multi-award-winning author of over twenty-seven novels, a screenwriter, ICU Nurse, and historian who was born and raised in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Having grown up in the motion picture industry as the daughter of a director, she learned to tell stories from a different perspective and began writing at the age of eight. Infusing the rich tapestry of her hometown into her novels, she believes that creating vivid characters makes a story moving and memorable. A member of the Horror Writers Association and International Thriller Writers Association, Weis writes mystery, suspense, thrillers, horror, crime fiction, and romance.

Lucas Astor is from New York, has resided in Central America and the Middle East, and traveled through Europe. He lives a very private, virtually reclusive lifestyle, preferring to spend time with a close-knit group of friends than be in the spotlight.

He is an author and poet with a penchant for telling stories that delve into the dark side of the human psyche. He likes to explore the evil that exists, not just in the world, but right next door behind a smiling face.
Photography, making wine, and helping endangered species are just some of his interests. Lucas is an expert archer and enjoys jazz, blues, and classical music.
One of his favorite quotes is: “It’s better to be silent than be a fool.” ~Harper Lee (To Kill a Mockingbird)

How long does it take you to write a book?  

It takes me about three weeks when I don’t have any other obligations with releases or other books to edit. Generally a month.

What inspired you to write your first book? 

My love of writing, and a short story from high school that I always wanted to turn into a book.

What is your favorite book that you wrote? 

My upcoming release in May, Realm. It is about the wife of Alexander the Great, Roxana. It is the story of a woman forgotten by history because she was a woman. I have wanted to write this tale since I first read about her at sixteen. 

Who or what inspired you to be a writer? 

Nothing inspired me; it was always there, my love for stories and creating them.

Who is your favorite author and what is it that really strikes you about their work? 

I have always loved Ernest Hemingway. His powerful use of words, and how he cans say so much using so little words.

Can you share a little of your current work with us?

I am working on the next book after my YA thriller, Death by the River. It is called A River of Secrets and it is the continuing saga of the Devereaux family. It is due out in 2020.
