Book Description:
Lily Ayres, Sanguis Ancilla to
Krieger Barnes, has retreated into the shadows of the archives, hiding from the
king and the intense emotions he arouses in her. How long can she deny him?
Will she accept her role in the Other world and the abilities arising within
her?
Krieger Barnes, Vampire King of
North America, has shared his blood, his kingdom, and his heart with Lily. He
summons her, needing her nearness, needing her to attend the council meeting
with him.
Merlin, the king’s advisor, must
fight the darkness that threatens to overtake him. Can he survive the dark
magic?
Lucien Black, the wielder of the
Dragon Sword, is once again charged with Lily’s protection. How will he explain
his avoidance of her?
A being buried deep underground,
inside a cage of iron and wrapped in chains, escapes. Is he the dark entity
that the Others feel and fear?

Excerpt:
He came back
cradling what looked like a journal in his large hands. It was bound in leather
with a faded black ribbon tied around the covers.
“Fell, I guess.”
Lily knew it
couldn’t have fallen on its own. And why didn’t the lights come on when it
moved? She took the offered book from Liam and rubbed her hand over the old
leather. Someone had taken great care to keep it oiled and the leather supple
as sin. For now, its contents were silent. Not all texts spoke with her –
perhaps this one would later, or never would.
“Ready?” Liam
opened the door and waited for her to follow.
Her mind said
no, definitely not ready to see Krieger, but her heart beat faster, and she
remembered his cool, calm voice, and how she loved the ambiguous color of his
hypnotic bluegrey eyes. The night before Lily’s mother was discovered and she’d
fatally stabbed Henry, Lily had argued with Krieger. From this vantage, Lily
could see how trivial her protestations were. She’d felt he’d betrayed her,
though he hadn’t, and because of her, Krieger had staunched the flow of blood
through the bond they shared. Now, just a hint of warmth was flowing through
her body, that feeling of being connected to him again, that tiny bit of
delicious balm soothing her worries.

Interview
Where are you from?
I
live in Virginia. I love the history and beauty of this state.
Tell us your latest news?
Kindle versions of my books are on sale for
99 cents from Black Friday to New Years.
When and why did you begin writing?
I’ve
always penned stories, but didn’t think about getting anything published until
I finished The Last Keeper’s Daughter. I was encouraged by friends who’d read
the story try for publication.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I
still don’t consider myself a writer. I think of writers as almost mythical
creatures who weave magic with words. I peck at the keyboard and hope for
something readable.
What inspired you to write your first book?
The
series True Blood. I watched the first episode and started writing The Last
Keeper’s Daughter the next day.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I’ve
been told my writing is crisp and clean.
How did you come up with the title?
It
was logical given Lily is the last keeper’s daughter.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp?
It’s
for the readers to decide.
How much of the book is realistic?
Well,
vampires are not real, so I’d say not very. I do try and make things as logical
as possible though.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life?
Some
of the character quirks are based off of individuals I’ve known. Most authors
are observant and tuck away the peccadilloes of others to use in their stories.
What books have most influenced your life most?
Jane
Eyre, Jaws, The Shining, The Secret Pilgrim, Outlander, The Thirteenth Tale.
The list could go on and on and on.
What book are you reading now?
I’m
getting ready to read the Lord John series by Diana Gabaldon.
Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest?
What are your current projects?
I’m
working on the third and last book in The Last Keeper’s Daughter series. I’m also
writing a mystery / romance novel involving stolen art work.
What would you like my readers to know?
That
I appreciate them and hope they enjoy my stories.
