About the author

I have been writing for as long as I can remember. It started on a snowy day near Christmas when I was three or four. I don't recall the impetus, but my older sister, whom I idolized and copied as much as possible, started writing a story. Not to be outdone, I started writing a story too. I've been writing ever since.

I am proud to have written the Rune Series books ("Rune Sword", "Rune Master", "Rune Hunter", and "Rune King's Daughter"), and I intend to continue my first series, Clans, which began with the novel "Nightchild". I'm currently working on an Arthurian retelling, "Arthur Rex".

I had to include this, since I wrote it.

It's almost impossible to do something new with the vampire genre, but the author has done it! Puts the majority of big house published vampire tales to shame. Sek this one out. You won't regret it.

This was a very enjoyable read and a new twist on vampire lore.

I hope she does a sequel.
