In this enchanting episode of Literary Lines, host GiGi Meier chats with debut author Rebecca Byron, whose lifelong love of vampire lore and a fateful trip to Scotland collided to create her spellbinding novel, A Memory Not Mine. Rebecca shares how the stars aligned for her to write the book in a whirlwind four months, and why the misty, historic landscapes of Scotland became the perfect backdrop for a timeless paranormal romance.

We dive into the crucial difference between paranormal and vampire romance, the invaluable (and tough!) feedback from a Reedsy developmental editor, and the Outlander-inspired research rabbit holes that enriched her world. Rebecca also gives an exciting sneak peek at Book Two of her trilogy, already in the works for a 2026 release, detailing its dual timeline and her unique "25k chunk" writing process.

Get the inside scoop on her upcoming BookBub deal, her strategy of going wide with print books while using Kindle Unlimited for ebooks, and how she’s weaving authentic Celtic traditions and witchcraft into the next installment. For any aspiring author or paranormal romance fan, this conversation is filled with practical advice, inspiration, and a clear love for the genre.

Tune in to learn where you can find Rebecca online, details for her November signing, and why her debut is the perfect read to sink your teeth into this season.
