Today we are joined by YA indie author Mayra Calvani, as she reminisces about her latest release, Embraced by the Shadows.

Embraced by the Shadows was just released two weeks ago. But the funny thing is, I wrote the book back in the 90’s and it was previously published with a different title and cover. So this is the new revised version that has come out.

The release of this novel feels kind of strange, because my writing has evolved and changed a lot during the past decade. And I’m glad it has, of course. I want to be one of those writers who grow and evolve and change with time. But the revision process was frustrating because I wanted to edit and change everything! After being discouraged for quite some time, and following my publisher’s advice, I decided to only polish the absolute necessary and leave the original voice and style. I see Embraced by the Shadows as a dark, eccentric and even weird book about vampires who transcend gender. The novel is also about obsessive, destructive relationships and the power of one individual to mesmerize another.

But when you ask me about the inspiration for the book, I must move back in time, not only to the 90’s but to my childhood. Read more
