An Interview with B.J. McCall
By Holly Hewson for The Romance Studio
HH: BJ, thank you for talking with us at TRS. Your featured book is Night Sins and it's part of your Forever series. What makes this series different from what readers have seen so far?
BJ: I wanted to put a new twist on vampire urban fantasy. In my Forever series, vampires once were accepted by society, but that was before a global economic collapse that brought about a severe depression. Humans began to sell their blood and the vampire population increased. Fear and mistrust rallied the humans and laws were passed to control the vampires.
The vampires were forced into government housing like the Cemetery, a windowless high-rise complex, and have to exist on government issued rations of animal blood.
The Dead Souls Agency enforces the vampire laws. But no matter how many restrictive laws are on the books vampires are drawn to the living.
HH: What can you tell us about the first book in the series?
BJ: Eternity Factor is story about an unlikely couple, risking it all to be together.
Azza knows it’s illegal to sneak out of the Cemetery to attend the underground raves. Human males are irresistible and despite the heavy penalties, having sex with a red-blooded man is worth breaking a law or two.
Azza picks Jak out of the crowd. The one-night stand becomes an affair of the heart and things get difficult for both human and vampire.
HH: How does Night Sins continue in?
BJ: Night Sins is a stand-alone tale about another Cemetery vampire, Egan. Over two centuries old, he remembers when vampires were free to live among humans, to hold assets and own property.
My heroine, Harper, works for the Dead Souls Agency, the enforcers of the laws that rule vampires.
When two enemies interact things happen. When a Dead Souls Agent and vampire come face-to-face things usually go bad for the vampire.
HH: Why will readers like Harper?
BJ: Life isn’t easy for Harper or any of the residents of Blight. Times are tough, but she’s tougher. She’s got a job, enforcing the vampire laws. The job isn’t glamorous, but it pays the rent on her tiny apartment. It’s dangerous, but the city streets are anything but safe, especially at night. The hours suck, but she’s a good cop.
An old one has targeted her. He thinks he‘s going to win this personal vendetta, but Harper never lets a vampire get the upper hand.
HH: What will readers love about Egan?
BJ: Egan is an old vampire and he has class, something the newly turned lack. He once was a productive member of society and he hates the way vampires are forced to live. After a bad encounter with Agent Harper Croix, Egan wants payback.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, but Harper is tough, hot and sexy. Egan knows the agent would prefer a quick death to being turned into a creature of the night, but Harper is too delicious to resist and revenge can take many forms.
She’ll hate every caress, every sip and every climax he inflicts, but she’ll pay and eventually Egan will be satisfied.
HH: What do you think readers will enjoy most about this world you've created?
BJ: It’s a dark, edgy world where vampires and humans are both good, and bad. But love is a force to be reckoned with for both vampire and human. In the end, love will prevail. HH: What else can readers look forward to from you?
BJ: Kela’s Guardian, a demon slayer/vampire killer tale will be released by Ellora’s Cave this year. Come Halloween look for Demon’s Treat from Changeling Press.
HH: What hobbies or interests do you have outside of your writing?
BJ: I love to walk. This summer I am taking time off from writing and my usual daily life to walk the Camino de Santiago. Trekking five hundred miles across Northern Spain will be an experience.
HH: What's your favorite quote ever?
BJ: Any quote by Mae West, a woman ahead of her time.
HH: What's your favorite social media and how to use it to let readers know about your books?
BJ: I love the TRS release parties. They are convenient and reach a wide audience. I also have a yahoo group RedHotRomance that I share with author, Mardi Ballou.
HH: Thank you!
