Who wants some fun? Who needs an escape from reality? How about a zombie apocalyptic Romance novel from someone who lives in the same city as I? Well, that is what today's author and book is all about. Are you ready? Only if you dare.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Equinox: A Paranormal Post Apocalyptic Romance (Celestial Awakenings Book 1)
Nova:
I can count on one hand the number of people I trust in this post-apocalyptic world where zombies roam the woods, the rich live under domes, and the rest of us... well, we survive. When a total stranger plucks me out of danger, we find ourselves thrown into the middle of an ancient prophecy that says the assumed long-dead gods will return. It's a race against time as we try to outsmart the past in order to outrun a destiny that neither of us wants. But if everything about the prophecy is so bad, why am I drawn to the mysterious man with the green eyes at every turn? And why does everything that's supposedly so wrong, suddenly feel so right?
Drake:
I'm a loner, drifting from town to town without any attachments to anyone. Attachments means affection and affection can be dangerous. Getting too close to anyone could activate an ancient curse that's been placed upon me by the All father himself and I cannot afford to let my guard down. I cannot give in to what the curse says I will become. So when I make a split second decision to save the thief from a Navian bounty hunter, I set into motion everything which I've been running from - but in my darkest moments, I find myself running into the danger... and back to her. Will my curse destroy us or is Earth finally due for a miracle?
Equinox is part one of a two-part series and ends in a subtle cliffhanger. While it DOES reach a satisfying conclusion and CAN be read as a standalone, it is the author's recommendation to follow this book with part two of Nova's story, Solstice, which will be released on January 24, 2020.
This book contains material which is intended for a mature audience and is inappropriate for readers under the age of eighteen.

Tell your readers a little about yourself,
where you grew up, where you live now, where you went to school etc. Let them
get to know the personal you.
My name is
Lux, and I am a lifelong New Orleanian. I grew up here, I live here now, and I
will likely die here. I'm a true Southerner, and I've never met a stranger. I'm
a single mom of three wonderful boys and aside from raising them to be proper
gentlemen, writing is my passion.
What inspired you to author
this book?
I wanted to step outside the
constrictions of reality and try to answer some of the unknown questions about
why and how some things in history have happened, and how they may have
happened if we're not alone in this whole life in the galaxy thing. Plus, I've
always had a soft spot for mythology, so this series gives me a chance to
really explore that love.
Where did you get the
inspiration for your book’s cover?
I wanted my cover to reflect
my heroine's strength. Though Equinox is a romance at its core, it's
also about a woman's journey to self-discovery.
Getting it all done in time,
then dealing with the fact that the book decided it was going to be a two-part
duet! That was not in the original plan, but the story demanded it in order to
do it justice.
Tell your readers about your
book.
Equinox is the
first novel set in the post-apocalyptic world where a zombie virus has wiped
out more than half of the planet's life, including the vast majority of
humanity. The wealthy humans retreated to domes, while the rest are surviving
on the fringes in varying degrees of civilization. Though a mysterious cure has
stopped the dead from turning into zombies, it's also rendered almost all
humans sterile, so humanity is racing toward extinction at an alarming rate.
There's one goddess left in the fight for life, and she'll meddle her way to
success in any way she can - even if it means betraying the trust and toying
with the lives of the demigod daughters she hid to preserve the human race.
Who is your target audience,
and why?
Obviously, a mature audience
due to the subject content, but I feel like this series has a little bit of
something for everyone. Love zombies? It's got those. Like doomsday prophecies
and post-apocalyptic worlds? It's got several. Badass heroines and mates, whose
love isn't fragile? Check! Mythology, pirates, shifters, betrayal, princesses,
magic, and an unexpected savior? Absolutely!
What do you consider your
greatest success in life?
I'm not sure I've achieved
it yet. If I claim a greatest success, then that means I've peaked, and there's
nothing to work towards, so I think I'll say I'm still trying to get there.
What one unique thing sets
you apart from other writers in your genre?
At the risk of sounding
crazy, I let my characters create their own stories, so sometimes they come up with
some pretty wild story-lines. I just write them down and put them out there for
everyone to enjoy.
