Silver: Urban Vampire

by Dixie Pieslak, Jamie Brownlee

Brecken de Boer is a young man with extraordinary charisma and an impossibly difficult reality. Besides being a brilliant student addicted to adrenaline and caffeine, he is a blood drinking vampire who struggles to pass as human. He has developed a normal life, free of external turmoil. Then Henna Landau comes to town and his ordered world falls apart. Unsettled and angry, he goes after her. Beings like Brecken don't exist, so she has no idea what he really is. Henna is attracted, but senses danger and wants nothing to do with him. And yet, his erratic behavior tumbles her into confusion, lies and secrets. Brecken is convinced things are going his way - until he learns that another of his kind wants Henna for himself.

About the author

Dixie Pieslak loves to learn, and reading is her preferred path to new knowledge. She reads novels, of course, but also a little bit of everything else. Her interests are varied and include philosophy, psychology, history, gardening, animals, baking, science and all forms of art. (But not math, thank you very much.)


Since childhood she has loved sci fi, urban fantasy and alternate history. Given that she is fascinated by the "what if...?", it is not hard to understand why her writing falls under the the broad umbrella of speculative fiction, paranormal, time travel, problematic relationships and psychological twist.


She is a committed Christian who loves to be around people. Dixie practices martial arts. She has travelled a great deal and studied several foreign languages. She lived abroad for a time, and enjoys using those experiences in her stories. She is a mother and often coauthors with her brother, Rick Lance. They both write every day, and their hope is to inform as well as entertain.


Dixie's dream is to never stop writing. She shares a web site with her brother at authorsintandem.com
