*Book Tour & Giveaway* Bad Blood: A VamPR Nightmare by Bee Murray & Niobe Marsh

 


Bad Blood: A VamPR Nightmare
Pisces Paranormal PR Agency, Book 1
by Bee Murray & Niobe Marsh
Genre: Urban Fantasy


Vampires are real. But whether you’re a fang-head or a groupie, there’s trouble brewing in the streets of Seattle.

Public meltdowns, drug overdoses, rehab missteps, mistresses coming out of the woodwork? There’s nothing a spoiled starlet or a washed up rocker could throw at the renowned Pisces PR Agency that can’t be turned into promotional gold. 

But when Tuesday Matson stepped out of her SUV on that sanguine summer evening, she didn’t expect to walk smack into the biggest PR nightmare of her career. And to make matters worse? The high-powered star at the center of it all is her ex... and they’ve got bad blood.

Five years ago, Vinnie Quake messed up. Big time. But that was nothing compared to this. He’s desperate for help, and if that means hiring his ex? So be it.

There are some secrets that can be swept under the rug, but in a city brimming with anti-vampire sentiment, how do you turn a massacre into a coming out party? There’s more to this PR emergency than Tuesday ever expected, and if she’s not careful she’ll be the next headline—and for all the wrong reasons. 

Bad Blood is a paranormal urban fantasy thriller that is perfect for lovers of True Blood, Vampire Diaries, and things that go bump in the night.

GUEST POST

GET TO KNOW BEE MURRAY & NIOBE MARSH

An interview with the USA Today Bestselling authors of Bad Blood: A VamPR Nightmare!



Can you, for those who don’t know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?

NIOBE: My name is Niobe Marsh and (just like many authors) I’ve always wanted to write since I was very young. I made books for my parents, friends, anyone who would take them. In 2012, I started a horror movie review site with a dear friend and gathered a group of amazing women to write about the horror genre. NaNoWriMo 2015 gave me my first novel and the willingness to give writing a try for real. I formed my publishing company in 2017 and published while still working two day jobs. I’ve only just become a full-time author, and I couldn’t be more happy, terrified, and thrilled all at the same time.

BEE: Helloooooo! My name is Bee Murray. I also grew up with this innate desire to tell stories. We moved a lot growing up and my boxes of books just kept getting bigger and bigger! They were my constant in a sea of change. Back then, I preferred to escape the world into these beautiful, imaginative worlds of my favorite authors for hours at a time. And, if we’re being super honest, I still love to do that — I just rarely have the time! When I wasn’t reading, I was filling up notebooks full of stories and musings and ridiculously complex characters.

Fast forward to now, I’ve been in the indie publishing world since 2013. I write under several pen names and across genres. As of 2021, I own my publishing company. Together, with Niobe, we are plotting and scheming to take over the world one book at a time! While I would love to be a full-time author, I currently still work a day job in the nonprofit sector.



Where were you born/grew up at?

NIOBE: I was born in Vancouver, Canada and grew up on a farm on Vancouver Island. I’ve lived all over the place, and in 2015 I convinced my husband that we should move overseas. We’re now happily settled in the South Island of New Zealand in a little cottage in the woods. The wifi’s good and no neighbours are the best neighbors.

BEE: I was born on the West Coast of the USA. I grew up all over the place and have traveled extensively. I currently live in the rainy Pacific Northwest with my partner, kid, and cat!



How to find time to write as a parent?

BEE: *dies laughing* Time? What is this time you speak of? It’s hard, I’ll be the first one to admit that. It’s easier now that my kid is a little older and more self-contained but between the day job, pandemic homeschooling, and just life logistics with my family — time is at a premium. As a writer with ADHD, that means time management is also a constant struggle. I sacrifice sleep for my words. I write after my kid goes to bed or sometimes during breaks at work. It’s a balance. I’ve had to learn not to be so hard on myself, especially after the Year That Was Nuts, aka 2020.



Do you have a favorite movie?

NIOBE: SO many. I’m a movie junkie. I’m addicted to fantasy, historical drama, and SciFi. My favorites (aka the ones I watch all the time) are Stargate, The Fifth Element, The Mummy (1999 obviously), Troy (it’s so bad, but I can’t stop), 300, Elizabeth, and Lord of the Rings (all of them).

I don’t know if I could ever pick just ONE movie to name my favorite.

BEE: MOVIES! I love going to the movies, and I miss it desperately. I actually love going to the movies alone in the middle of the day. Just sitting by yourself in the dark with a giant popcorn that you don’t have to share. That is *chef’s kiss*.

As far as favorites? I’m not sure I actually have a drop down, knockout winner for a favorite. I tend to be eclectic in tastes, and musicals are always a fave. Mulan and Hercules are frequent fliers over here. My kid is obsessed with The Rock’s remake of Jumanji so we watch that a lot. I watch a lot of things with subtitles and documentaries. I will say I used to have an unhealthy obsession with American Outlaw because of Colin Farrell. It’s my not-so-secret shame. :-D



When did you first consider yourself a writer?

NIOBE: I’ve never actually held a paperback copy of one of my books in my hands, but I imagine that’s the moment it’ll feel really real. Otherwise, I’m not sure I’ll ever feel like a REAL writer. Sure, I write and publish things, but imposter syndrome is a beast, yo, and I struggle with it regularly. Being able to provide for my family and put my cats through college is the goal, and I treat writing like a job. One day it’ll feel real. I’m sure of it.

BEE: That’s such an interesting question. I think I’ve always thought of myself as a bit of a writer. I am a person who writes things and often gets paid for it. For me, thinking of myself as a writer is easy. Identifying myself as an author is harder. Maybe it’s the imposter syndrome, like what Niobe was talking about or something else, I’m not sure. The first time I got a fan letter from a stranger was a tremendous moment for me. It was kind of social proof that someone outside my immediate circle had read something I wrote and liked it enough to come find me and tell me. That was a magical moment, and I felt like an author that day. Readers: if you ever love something from an author and want to gush about it but feel awkward reaching out? Do it anyway. It’s like feeding joy directly to your favorite author. We love that.



Which of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?

NIOBE: I have an urban fantasy series written under a different pen name (Meredith Medina) that I always imagined could make a good TV series. Witches in New York, witch hunters, brooding punk vampires, ancient goddesses. It’s got CW written all over it. Bad wigs and all.

BEE: *glances at steamy romance backlist* Uh. Well. Laughs. I think my MMF menage romance could make a really steamy, fun movie. I could see that on HBO or something. Otherwise, Pisces Paranormal PR Agency! You’ll see it when you read Bad Blood. There’s a certain cinematic element that we put into this that I would LOVE to see on the big screen.
