About the book:
***Experience the events of Angelbound from Prince Lincoln’s point of view…And then enjoy an all-new part of his story!***
When it comes to fighting demons, Prince Lincoln is the greatest warrior in the history of his people, the thrax. Now Lincoln faces his hardest fight yet…and it’s not on a traditional battlefield.
Lincoln is falling in love. And the girl is part demon.
Between a fated dance at the Ryder mansion…a life-changing walk through a hedgerow maze…and a massive battle with none other than the King of Hell…Lincoln realizes that he wants to share his life with Myla Lewis, the part-demon girl who has captured his heart. However, an evil thrax noble—the powerful Earl of Acca—is prepared to do anything to stop Lincoln and Myla from having a future.
But Lincoln won’t give up on his Myla. Ever.
To fight Aldred, Lincoln works to create a different kind of marriage—an Alliance of the lesser thrax houses against Acca. Sadly, just as Lincoln starts to makes some progress, the nobles who’ve joined his Alliance begin to vanish. Is Aldred behind the disappearances, or is someone else vying for power? When Lincoln discovers the truth, it upends his entire world, threatening his future with Myla in ways no one could ever have imagined.

Top Five Highlights of Writing Lincoln
—and by highlights, I mean it was a pain in the ass—
by Christina Bauer
As part of the launch tour for my new book, LINCOLN, the lovely folks at My Bookish Escapes have asked me to list my top five highlights of writing the book’s hero, Lincoln. (Honestly, they asked for ten but I got blabby, so it’s five.)
So with that prelude, behold my top five!
Lincoln Highlight Number Five.
Lincoln makes a point to remember everyone’s name. He may be a prince, but he truly values everyone’s job and wants them to be acknowledged. Sweet, am I right? Sure! But what a pain the ass to write!!! I have to come up with distinctive names for each person as well as a unique description and backstory because that’s how I roll. It’s easier with Myla, by the way, because she just makes up names for people. Right now, she’d probably call me Pissy Writer Chickie.
Lincoln Highlight Number Four.
Writing Lincoln’s relationship to his father Connor is downright painful. Our hero is such an honest and noble dude, and his dad is a total dick. I just want to punch Connor in the throat! But this is something Lincoln needs to learn to overcome, and Myla is certainly a key part of that. That said, I still hate making some of my characters suffer. With others it’s like, suffer away you BEY-OTCH!!!
Lincoln Highlight Number Three.
Lincoln’s voice is really lyrical. He uses big vocabulary words and complex sentence structure. It’s a bit of a pain to get the rhythm down, but once I’m in his head, he’s fun because…
Lincoln Highlight Number Two.
Lincoln has a very dry sense of humor. Part of his legacy is from England and it shows in the witty way he looks at the world. This doesn’t really belong on the list because it’s a fun part, but I had to throw it in anyway because LINCOLN. Now on to something that is rough…
Lincoln Highlight Number One.
Working through Lincoln’s inner torture with Myla is GAH GAH GAH!!! It was so hard to know the whole time what he was really thinking, and yet realize I had a half a book to get to the fun and lovey bits. Before, you know, other stuff happens and it gets super tricky again.
:::slaps hands over mouth because NO SPOILERS:::
So there you have it: my top five highlights of writing Lincoln. Thanks SO MUCH for asking me to stop by—I had a blast making this list. I look forward to returning on a future tour!
Thank you Ms. Christina for sharing this with us! I cannot wait to meet Myla and Lincoln!
Looking forward to seeing you again on the blog! =)

Christina Bauer thinks that fantasy books are like bacon: they just make life better. All of which is why she writes romance novels that feature demons, dragons, wizards, witches, elves, elementals, and a bunch of random stuff that she brainstorms while riding the Boston T. Oh, and she includes lots of humor and kick-ass chicks, too.
Christina graduated from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School with BA’s in English along with Television, Radio, and Film Production. She lives in Newton, MA with her husband, son, and semi-insane golden retriever, Ruby.
