First I would like to say thank you for having me here today! For those of you who don't know, my name is Morrigan Michele and I am one of the authors of Betrayed-Blood and Magick Series. My sister, Misty and I are a writing duo and we have always had a love for the paranormal. Anything to do with Vampires, Witches, Magick etc is what we live for! How did we get this wild idea to write a series? Well, we really were just sitting around one day and Misty asked me what I would think of the two of us writing our own series. Basically, after reading so many of everyone else's books we felt it was high time we wrote our own full of everything we wanted to read. Writing soon turned into a passion for us and I chose to make writing a career. I choose to write in the YA Paranormal genre for two reasons: first, because that's the genre I like to read; and second, because I promised I would only write books that my daughter can read. Maybe when she gets a bit older I might try my hand at some more adult books, but I realy like writing YA books. For those who haven't heard of Betrayed (Blood and Magick #1) here is a brief synopsis:

Being the daughter of a Wiccan practitioner has made Alexis Allcroft a social outcast - both in town and in school. Yet she's done her best to not let this fact get to her. While her insecurities surface at the most inopportune times, she's determined to walk forth with her head high in hopes of showing her classmates that the things they say don't bother her. Unfortunately, she realizes that this is easier said than done.
Plagued by dreams she doesn't quite understand, she starts looking forward to her seventeen birthday. Intent on drawing people's attentions away from her, she cites a spell that ends up backfiring on her in the process. People's secrets are shoved into the light - hers, included. Secrets, she soon realizes, that were better left in the dark.
The discovery of several crucial secrets leaves her wondering who she can, and cannot, trust. Even more daunting is the fact that she's both a vampire and a witch. She finds this fact quite hard to accept. As is the knowledge that she wields a power unlike any other.

When her world is turned upside-down even further, she's forced to go on the run with her trusty guardian by her side. She's grateful for his support, even though there's something about him that she can't quite explain. Her family's secrets threaten to engulf her, tearing at the edges of her trust for those she loves. As danger looms around the corner, she comes to understand that blood truly is thicker than water and that family will always be there when you least expect them to be.

Now, with Thanksgiving just around the corner I felt it appropriate to discuss what I am most thankful for this year. I am so very thankful for so many of the wonderful people in my life. I am truly blessed with a wonderful close knit circle of family and friends.My family and I are very close. I have two wonderful sisters named Misty and Stormie. I talked about Misty earlier, she is the co-author of our wonderful little series. I also have a beautiful daughter, the light of my life named Brianna who will soon be 12 (going on sixteen!) You mom's know what I am talking about ;-) Bless her heart, she blasts Taylor Swift songs constantly and most times the songs get stuck in my head for days! I cannot seem to get them out. The one person though that I am so thankful to have in my life this year is my wonderful and loving husband, Robert. He has been very inspirational and really is my rock. That guy you can depend on no matter what. I want to talk a little about him today.

It took a year to get Betrayed finished after we started writing it; mainly because Misty and I had so much going on in our lives that the book sort of ended up on the "back burner" for about 6 months. That is until I met my husband Robert in November of 2010. It wasn't until after meeting him that I really started writing again. Betrayed sat halfway finished in a spiral notebook for many months before that. He pushed me to start writing and to get serious about writing because he knew it was something I really wanted to do. Every day he would give me the extra push I needed to really sit down and write. It was nice because when Misty was too busy, I could bounce ideas off of Robert and he would help me think of other better ways to write what I was trying to say. If it wasn't for him, I don't think Betrayed would be where it is today. As a matter of fact he has since created my book trailers, and even the upcoming new cover that betrayed will be receiving soon! He has also done some cover art and book trailers for a few other authors with my publisher. Robert also helps me out on the marketing end of things by creating my blogs and websites and keeping up with things when I am swamped with my books. I don't know what I would do without him. He has really been a wonderful addition to my little family.

Misty and I are now hard at work on Immortal Lineage-Blood and Magick Volume 2 and hope to have it out by the first of the year. Immortal Lineage will have many more twists, turns and flat out shockers (so many shockers that we're not listing them on the back of the book!!!) so you will just have to wait and read the book. I do have a mini-synopsis posted on the Blood and Magick Facebook page, so please feel free to check that out!

I have truly enjoyed being here today to talk with all of you and tell you a little about myself. Feel free to comment and ask me any questions you may have. I would also love for you all to comment on what you are most thankful for this year. Also, don't forget to check out Betrayed and be on the lookout for the new cover. Be sure to let me know what you think!

Ciao for now. I wish you and yours a wonderful and Blessed Thanksgiving!
