In every book, I always talk about how the
creation of a novel is for the most part a solitary process, but that the actual publication of a book takes many people.
Autumn Rising
has been no different!
First of all, I would like to welcome some new members to my team. AJ Wilcox and Kim Hayes were both kind enough to offer to proofread for me, and so joined my regular proofreader,
Glynis Elliott, in that job! You all did a wonderful job in catching any slip-ups. Thank you to you all!
The need for a change up in proofreaders was created because the proofreader of numerous of my novels was promoted to editor. Lori
Whitwam has been editing for some time and her skills were wasted as only a proofreader. Lori, as always, you were thorough, on time, and affordable. What more could an indie author ask for!
I also had some help this time in creating one of my character
’s names. I ran this competition on my
facebook page
and had lots of fun doing so! I ended up putting together a couple of your ideas and so there were two winners for a copy each of this book, and to get a mention right here! So,
Deana Potter and Tracie Carver, thank you for the combined name of Vivian Winters. You ladies have some great naming skills!
And as always, I want to thank you, the reader, for allowing me to live my dream. I have the best job in the world all because you love to read my words.
If you want to stay updated about my new releases, please sign up to my new release list on my blog. You will receive notification of when a new book comes out, together with exclusive previews and sales!

Thank you once again.

Marissa Farrar is a multi-published fantasy and horror author. She was born in Devon, England, has travelled all over the world, and has lived in both Australia and Spain. She now resides in the countryside with her husband, three young children, a crazy Spanish dog, and two rescue cats. Despite returning to England, she daydreams of one day being able to split her time between her home country and the balmy, white sandy beaches of Spain.
Even though she’s been writing stories since she was small and held dreams of being a writer, her initial life plan went a different way.
In her youth, inspired by James Herriot, she decided to become a vet, and would regularly bring home new pets to her weary parents. Upon discovering her exams were never going to get her into a veterinary degree, she ended up studying Zoology. Once she completed her degree and realised she’d spent the majority trying to find time to write, she decided to follow her dream of being an author. Seven years later, she was published and two years after that she was able to say goodbye to the day job.
However, she’s continued to collect animals!
Marissa is the author of twelve novels, including the dark vampire ‘Serenity’ series. Her short stories have been accepted for a number of anthologies including,
Their Dark Masters,
Red Skies Press,
Masters of Horror: Damned If You Don’t,
Triskaideka Books; and
2013: The Aftermath,
Pill Hill Press.
