AUTHOR BIO

Renee Spyrou was born in Australia in a small town thirty minutes south of the Queensland border, to Australian and Greek parents. She studied Fashion in college and has worked in the rag trade since she was 20 years old. She loves creative arts and was sewing, knitting and crocheting from the early age of five. She grew up reading Greek mythology and always had a book or a paintbrush in her hand. She met her husband of 24 years in Greece when she was 22 years old on the small Island of Kalymnos where she’d been living for a year and a half with family. It was love at first sight; they were engaged after a month and married after two months.

 Renee lived in Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly known as Zaire, for three years. She was there when two point five million refugees crossed the borders of Rwanda into Zaire, during the Ebola outbreak, and when Mobutu’s rule fell and the rebel leader Kabila overthrew the government. She’s been held up at gunpoint, seen people shot; and seen the adverse effects of war, famine and disease.

Renee started writing when her son was diagnosed with a rare neurological disease called Adrenouleukodystrophy. Sadly, her son died four years after he was diagnosed. Writing helps her escape the sad reality of losing her firstborn child.

She lives in Ocean Shores with her husband and daughter and their two Rhodesian Ridge-back dogs. She loves SciFi, horror, paranormal and action movies and enjoys painting, reading, writing, drawing and sitting outside on a Friday night with her family near a small burn barrel watching the fire.

The world is on the verge of apocalypse. A designer drug contaminated with a mutated strain of the Porphyria virus, V5, has hit the streets of London. Humans are on the threshold of an evolutionary change that will bring about their extinction – they no longer need to be bitten to become Vampires. An ancient artefact, the Trinian Globe, has been stolen, and a sinister force is preparing to take control of Earths hidden gateways. Makayla Uriel is the one being that can stop the world’s inevitable destruction; and the one person least likely to. She lives on the edge – the fringe of a world that is not her own – where legend is reality. Most days she wants to escape what she is, a Seraphympire, a Vampire Seraphim with two souls, and a craving for rare bloods. When she is saddled with a new partner, she is forced to confront her demons – realising that it’s alright to trust another, even if it means sacrificing all that she has ever known. The clock is ticking. Will Makayla and an elite group of warrior’s, the Shadow Seekers, save the inhabitants of Earth from annihilation? Can they stop the global distribution of V5 and discover who is behind the burgeoning Newblood infestation before it’s too late? More importantly, will they recover the Trinian Globe before it’s used to destroy Earth? Who will triumph?

TIME IS AN ILLUSION.

SECRETS ARE PROTECTION.

DUPLICITY IS A REQUIREMENT.

Three months have passed since Alexander was taken prisoner. In that time London has found itself in the grip of a new plague, the Newbloods have begun farming humans, and the Earth tips closer to apocalypse…

Alexander isn’t all he’s purported to be. As Makayla searches for him, she discovers more questions that paint his character in duplicity. Did he use her? Did he have an agenda all along? Her search for the truth will take her on an unexpected journey that will surpass and possibly unravel time itself. What she finds could be her undoing.

While the humans race against time to find a cure for the new virus, the Shadow Seekers must work together to prevent the High Priestess Zobiana from controlling a power that could destroy them all.

But when each of them is hiding something, their own secrets could destroy them first.

And Alexander is fighting for more than just his life…
