What if your characters were imaginary friends who refused to leave? Tricia and Jojo sit down with author Lucius Valliant for a gothic conversation about The Thornhill Vampire Chronicles and his unique writing process. Lucius shares how his characters can live in his head for decades, the real-world places that inspire his stories, from Highgate Cemetery to 3 a.m. walks through Venice, and why he prefers “pantsing” to strict outlines. Plus, vampire fans can look forward to Phantom Pain, Book Six, which Lucius hopes to release around Halloween! Pour yourself some tea and join the conversation.
