I talk with Bria Lexor about her latest book, The Flames Omen: The Lyric Lockheart Story, and her inspirations ranging from vampires and zombies to wrestling and more.  

Post Podcast Notes: Bria's Onizuca Series was inspired by Dragonball Z, and her Vampiracy series was also inspired by Sailor Moon and Vampire Academy. The money from all of Bria's book sales goes towards her parents' funeral fund.
