Hi everyone,
I'm Tima Maria Lacoba, and as you can see I write gothic romance stories - paranormal/urban fantasy books - with more than a touch of mystery and lots of thrills and suspense.
If those are the type of stories you enjoy reading, then you're in the right place.

ABOUT ME
A
former ancient historian and archaeologist, I accidently smashed a 3,000
Egyptian vase while on my first dig! My supervisor made me glue it back
together again. It took a week. From there I went on to specialise in late
Roman-British archaeology, and the military forts along Hadrian’s Wall, because
buildings don’t smash as easily. Now I’ve
combined my love of history with another passion – story-telling – to create a
dark tale of Roman soldiers who’ve waited nearly two thousand years to be
released from an ancient curse.
I’ve always been a storyteller, but it wasn't until five years ago that I
seriously ventured into writing. The result was Bloodgifted. In 2011 it
was shortlisted in the Atlas Award and eventually came fourth place. In 2012 it
was listed among the top ten in the Choclit Search for an Aussie Star
Competition. In 2013, I was offered a publishing contract but declined in
favour of going indie, preferring the idea of being in charge of my own
creation.
BloodGifted, BloodPledge and BloodVault are the first three books in The
Dantonville Legacy series. I
also intend to satisfy my fans requests by writing individual books on the
other characters in the series. So Terens, Cal, Jake and Sam will each have their
own story.
Currently,
I live on the Central Coast, an hour's drive north of Sydney in Australia. My
little house is surrounded by bushland, possums and seed-dropping Rosellas on
one side, and waterways on the other.
Between
bouts of writing, I can be found in the kitchen baking yet another chocolate
recipe. This activity is responsible for forming more gothic, urban fantasy
stories in my mind for future books.

When is blood pledge going to be release? How many books are in this series?
Bloodpledge is coming out in June. At this stage there will be 3-4 books centered around the two major characters. But, there will be further books in the series based around the other characters. By the time it's finished, there could be eight books and some short stories/novelettes.
Thanks for asking! :-)
When is the next book after blood pledge coming out?
At the moment I'm planning on a June 2015 release for Bk 3 - Blood Vault. But I'll be saying more about that in my quarterly newsletter next week. Thanks for asking :-)
