Salt & salt circles play a pivotal role throughout the Blood Brute series (http://bit.ly/BloodBrute) and, as I outline & draft Book 2, I also research the occult & historical use of salt.
In Rise of One, the vampire coven live in the beautiful redbrick smallholding of Owl Court. When our coven first moved in, back in June 1916, they rubbed ancient salt into the redbrick boundary – key to sealing their home away from the world.
And while that salt boundary held across two World Wars & into the present day, the boundary weakens at the onslaught of a zombie apocalypse. Later, in Book 2, salt becomes important again, when the Vampire Rise realizes how it can be used.
But! To write all that, I need to research! (rolls up sleeves)
