Author Bio: I'm author Tia Lee and I am a self-published author and live in one of the most humid places in the USA: Houston, TX, but I love it here (sans the humidity of course.). I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful kids. My passion is writing and I can't stop thinking of more stories for the future. My debut novel is Vermilion Tears. It is a Victorian Gothic paranormal, that starts out like any other boy meets girl book, until vampires, werewolves, and witches show up. I absolutely loved writing this book and it will always be my book baby. I am currently writing a novel about a self-absorbed mob wife, who has aspirations of being at the top herself.  Not sure when it will be out yet, it’s currently going through beta reads.

Blurb: Vermilion Tears is a Gothic paranormal novel set in Victorian times. Lydia comes from humble beginnings living with her family in New Haven. Her life gets turned upside down when she is on a train to New York City to start her new life. Lydia is attacked by supernatural creatures she didn’t even realize existed. Now a supernatural being herself, she finds herself fleeing from a brutal captor and trying to keep her family intact. Will she be caught or will she succeed in escaping and restoring her family?

Dark, matte lips and downcast eyes with hair curling around her face. That image is the first draw toward wanting to know more. As I look at the cover, I cannot help but wonder what her story is and why, in her immense beauty, she has her gaze down. The lack of direct gaze intrigues me. To say the image is poignant would be an understatement.

Unfortunately, that first impression doesn't stand for the entire work. I received an advanced reading copy. I expected to have and read a polished manuscript. Instead, I received a work that had multiple errors in format, grammar, and spelling. The reason those errors are so stark is maybe because I am also an author and am used to picking out errors. What those errors did for my enjoyment of the book? Well, it made Vermilion Tears more difficult to enjoy.

The wonderful thing about Paranormal writing is the fact that the author can craft any aspect into some fantasy. Tia Lee does craft a unique spin on the vampire and werewolf. I love a world full of the paranormal. It is an interesting read if you can ignore all the errors. Think this book is for you?
