Is It True: Alpha Mine by Brenda Sparks @brenda_sparks #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance
He stood stone still, wrapped in the darkness of the shadows… Alpha Mine, by Brenda Sparks, a PNR novel in the Alpha Council Chronicles.
Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Brenda Sparks. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
Alpha Mine by Brenda Sparks
Genre Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
In the shadows of the night, there exists a band of warriors–a group of vampires, known as the Alpha Council. Their formidable leader, Stephan von Haas, has vowed to protect not only his kind but the humans existing alongside them. His duty comes before all else–until a sassy blonde saunters into his life.
When a sensual, dark-haired stranger walks into Katrina Spencer’s life, he stirs her deepest desires and sweeps her into a world beyond her wildest dreams. But when Katrina is targeted by Stephan’s enemies, reality shifts into something violent and deadly, as she is thrust into a realm where vampires stalk the shadows and vengeance is coming for her.
Together they will confront an extraordinary destiny of peril, passion, and dark pleasures. But when one horrid mistake brings retribution, their love may pay the price.
Is it true:
this is your first book?
Yes. This is the first book I published. It holds a dear place in my heart because I’ll never forget the feeling I had when my publisher offered me a contract for the story. The old saying is true…you never forget your first. 😉
this book is part of a series?
It is. Alpha Mine the first book in my Alpha Council Chronicles series.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
Sleep? What is this thing called sleep? The heroes of this story invaded my dreams, especially Stephan. I’d wake in the middle of the night and have to get out of bed to write down a scene.
you did research for this book?
The research needed for this book was a lot of fun, because it is set in Las Vegas. I love it when I can set a story in a place I have not been before. It gives me a great excuse to take a vacation to a fun new place. Of course, I can’t share anything else about the research for Alpha Mine, because, after all, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
There are vampires in this story, some are heroes, some are villains.
this book has more than one genre?
No. It is strictly a paranormal romance.
you speak more than one language?
I can understand a little Spanish, French, and sign language, but I speak English.
you grew up where you live now?
Unfortunately, no. I grew up in Virginia.
you love to read?
Absolutely! There is never enough time in a week to read, but I do it every chance I get. I’m a big fan of paranormal and historical romances.
you are never late?
I’m one of those people who feels like if I arrive 15 minutes ahead of schedule then I’m actually late. Being late is one of my biggest pet peeves.
you love pizza?
Ummm…yes!! I’m a wanna be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
you love sushi?
It’s not my thing, but I love watching the sushi chefs make it.
you have a pet?
I do not. We will be moving a great distance soon, so we have decided not to get another pet until after we move. I miss having a fur baby in the house but know that it would be difficult on one to make the move with us.

Brenda Sparks has always loved all things spooky and enjoys incorporating paranormal elements in her writing. She refuses to allow pesky human constraints to get in the way of telling the story. Luckily the only thing limiting her stories is her imagination. Her characters are strong, courageous, and she adores spending time with them in their imaginary world.

Introducing Stephan von Haas from Alpha Mine, by Brenda Sparks @brenda_sparks #RLFblog #PNR
Let’s meet Stephan von Hass from Alpha Mine, a paranormal romance, by Brenda Sparks. Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about the story your author wrote.

Please tell me about yourself.
Age: 650ish…I think. Honestly, I stopped counting after my 300th birthday.
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Germany
Profession: Entrepreneur
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): vampire
What do you look like?
I’m a 6 ft 5 in warrior with dark brown hair and sapphire-blue eyes. I may be over 600 years old, but I’m told I don’t look a day over 35.
Who is the significant other in your life?
Katrina Spencer is my heartmate. She is amazing. She’s a strong-willed, leggy blonde, with gray-blue eyes that will draw you in. She is kind and loving. The day I found out she was my heartmate, was one of the luckiest days of my life.
Are you book-smart, self-taught, widely-experienced?
Yes. You don’t live hundreds of years without learning in multiple ways. I believe in learning everything the world has to offer.
What is your viewpoint on wealth?
I live extravagantly. I am fortunate to have a lot, but I am generous. I believe in giving back, helping others. It’s part of the reason why I established the Alpha Council, to help those who can’t help themselves.
On what special skills do you rely?
My fighting skills. Being the leader of the Alpha Council is a great responsibility. I must not only lead the men, but also lead the fight. I work hard to make sure I stay in top fighting shape and keep my skills as sharp as the blades I carry.
What past event causes you the most fear?
My heartmate was kidnapped and tortured. I’ve never been so scare. If anything happened to Katrina, I could not be held responsible for what I would do.
What is your biggest need?
To make the world a safer place, a place where my heartmate (and one day my children) can move about without fear for their safety.
If you could make any one thing happen, what would it be?
I would give my heartmate the child she so desperately wants. Unfortunately, having children is biologically difficult for vampires.Where to buy Alpha Mine
