New Item: Coldfire Signed Bookplates

Looking for signed bookplates that will harmonize with the cover art of the Coldfire series? I’ve designed a set of four for just that purpose. One of them features the night sky from Nightborn’s cover and the others are adorned with glowing earth-fae. Check them out in my shop.

Audible Best Fantasy Audiobook Series

The Audible blog included the Coldfire Trilogy in their “must listen” fantasy audiobook list:

“The Coldfire trilogy is a fantasy series following two unlikely allies who team up to take on a world-threatening evil. Beginning with Black Sun Rising, the journey of hero Damien Vryce intertwines with that of the villainous Gerald Tarrant. The two men, polar opposites of good and evil, must find a way to unite and defeat the Fey, an evil that manifests people’s worst fears and threatens to erase existence itself. Listeners repeatedly praise R.C. Bray for his excellent high-energy narration.”

In this exclusive interview, Celia explains how Nightborn connects to the trilogy, why it alters the formula from epic fantasy with some horror and sci-fi to sci-fi with some horror and fantasy, as well as her plans for other novels in the Coldfire universe.
