Will you ever release V&V in hardback? I read them on Kindle, but I love the covers so much that I'd love to display them somewhere. Also thank you for writing quite possibly my favorite characters ever (Damien, Amma, Kaz, etc.). The way you wrote them made me truly care about them and their futures.

I'm actually working on some special editions of V&V now! The idea is in a verrrrry early stage because I have to price everything out and get the funds together (and it's tax time so that's it's own detriment right now lol) but once I have that all worked out, I'm hoping to have hardbacks available! My hope is that they will have some additional illustrations and formatting inside as well :)

Thank you for asking and I'm so glad you enjoyed the series! 💜(less)

So, I know you didn't ask this specifically, but I think he would be the most human-looking tiefling in Neverwinter and his class would *have* to be Blood Hunter. He'd take dueling as his fighting style and we're gonna cheese it a little and give him Rite of the Dead as his Crimson Rite right off the bat so he can deal necrotic damage (which is shadow damage, in my head). I'm going to make up an order for him: The Order of the Infernal Brotherhood, but I'm giving him Pact Magic (with Zagadoth), and an imp familiar (Kaz, of course!)


As for his level, I think he's somewhere around 10ish? I like to think truly high level characters are very few and far between. Damien's still young, and he has a lot of room to grow, and I think he's got enough renown to be up there, but he might think about multiclassing at some point (maybe into Cleric???), so I'd like to leave him open to those possibilities. But I could be very wrong about levels and their power--I'm super into the backstory building of characters in D&D and giving them weaknesses and bad scores on purpose and I never optimize, so I'm sort of a terrible player when it comes right down to it :)(less)

“Damien had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. “Surely, I don’t look like that.” “It’s close,” she warned, features relaxing. “You have resting villain face.” “I am a villain.” And then Amma, the girl he had abducted, dragged across the realm, and threatened to murder, actually rolled her eyes at him.”

“Did you hear that?” Amma’s sharp whisper cut into Damien’s mind as it began to drift into sleep. He groaned. “You mean that terrifying cry that sounded like a woman being gutted?” “Yes!” “No, I didn’t. Go to sleep.”

“My life’s work,” said Damien, lips curling at the corners and thin, black brows narrowing. “It is finally complete.” He was twenty-seven.”
