Introducing the ‘Bloodlines Collection’.
THE BLOODLINES COLLECTION is a vampire urban fantasy with central female protagonists.
CAN YOU GIVE US A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF YOUR BOOK SERIES?
Bloodlines (The Original)
Her name is Julie. She’s 16. She’s a vampire. Julie’s story began in 1944, the night she was made, and continued for 76 years. A vampire, forever 16. But also a hunter of other vampires. The Hounds are her pets, her servants, her protectors. But the Hounds are not vampires, they’re demons; because the 16 years old Julie made a deal with the devil. And now she hunts the one who made her.
Julie (The Followup)
For 76 years, Julie survived wars and social changes, societal upheavals, religious conflicts, and the 2008 economic recession. Now she faces something even more horrifying. Who is kidnapping pregnant young girls? Vampire army? Secret military research? A war ready to be launched? And why would they kidnap Julie?
How did someone from Julie’s past survive all these years, after gaining “life eternal” from Vincent? Where are the Hounds, Julie’s life-long protectors and companions? And what in the world was Julie thinking, getting mixed up in all of this?
Dark Princess (The Spinoff)
“I guess you could say I was Julie’s wingman for a short while. Then we sent her home, where she probably still is. But that was a long time ago.”
One hundred years can pass quickly when you’re a vampire. Or drag on interminably, if you have no purpose. Tara found that purpose, more than once, but only later in her vampire life did she learn the truth of what had really happened in the world.
With a deepening fear and paranoia of who to trust, and who did what to whom, her plunge into an ever-widening conspiracy reveals how ruthless and cruel the vampire world can be.
Will Tara’s ever-quickening fall down the rabbit hole end with answers or madness?
WHAT ARE THE USPs OF THIS BOOK COLLECTION?
Bloodlines was written as a standalone. But Julie, the main character, being the strong protagonist she is, refused to leave me alone. Since I told the story of who she was, I was compelled to tell the story of who she is, hence the second book. But in Julie’s story another character popped up and since good things come in threes, I started working on the third book. So here I am, with a collection: The Original, The Followup, and The Spinoff.
Authors sometimes think they’re in charge of stuff: they couldn’t be more wrong.
CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF?
I worked a normal job all my life, from high school to my retirement in 2015. In 2005 I
began writing what likely turned out to be my Magnum Opus: The Ardwellian Chronicles epic fantasy adventure series. For thirteen years I wrote Ardwel; its peoples, places, and saga. Now, the Saga is complete and I started working on other things. I’ve read Science Fiction since I was in the third grade. I enjoy a mystery from
time to time. I don’t read horror, but I can write a pretty good tale of horror. Or dystopia. And I’m a First- Generation Trekker.
With my current collections of Epic Fantasy, Military SF, SF Adventure, and Vampire
Urban Fantasy, I’m always on the lookout for a new project or topic. I don’t like to do the same type of stories over and over, and I’m certainly not adverse to researching a new genre. After all, learning new things is a good way to give your brain a workout and put that information to use in a good story.
