The wild, free. Vampires reveling in their inhumanity. In Toronto, they rule the night.
The silent, restrained. Vampires denying the Beast within. In Toronto, they are prisoners, trophies of conquest, trapped inside the confines of the Box.
Bianka has come to lead the Camarilla to freedom through rebellion, to give them a chance to recover their lost pride. Lot can't allow that to happen. It is his duty to the Sabbat to ensure that the Camarilla remain prisoners.
Two fierce sects. Two missions that could destroy the uneasy peace in the city. One great, unexpected love that could destroy two vampires.
As One Dead is a novel of intrigue and forbidden love based on White Wolf Game Studio's The Masquerade storytelling game. Bram Stoker Award nominee Nancy Kilpatrick collaborates with fantasy writer Don Bassingthwaite, author of the popular White Wolf Publishing novels Breathe Deeply and Pomegranates Full and Fine.
Don lives with his partner in Toronto, surrounded by gadgets, spice jars, and too many books.
No, I don’t normally refer to myself in the third person. That’s the official author bio from the back of my most recent books. You want some other trivia?
I’m a fan of the serial comma. I’m a huge fan of breakfast cereal. I own one (and only one) stuffed animal — a Highland cow from Edinburgh named “Ewan MooGregor.” I love Edinburgh and London — other large cities visited in the UK include Bath and Plymouth. I’ve also been to Cheddar where I ate a really good cheese sandwich. I like cheese, especially hard and blue cheeses (Mmmm. Stilton.). I look terrible in hats with the exception (for unknown reasons) of a few ball caps of particular colour and design. I look good in rugby shirts, but don’t really own any as I neither play rugby nor follow the sport enough to feel honest buying the shirt of any particular team. I don’t play or follow soccer either, but that didn’t stop me from choosing a “shirt team” in the last World Cup, wearing their shirt, and cheering for them in pubs. Go Netherlands! To quote Paul S. Kemp, “Mmm. Beer.” I have seriously considered buying a kilt. Update March 2008: The kilt has been bought! Kilt, cow, and fondness for Edinburgh aside, I’m not Scottish.
