My latest novel, ONE BLOOD, is officially released tonight. The electronic version is on sale now at
www.amberquill.com/OneBlood.html.
The paperback should be out mid-month.
The timing is great, not only because of vampires=Halloween, but because a climactic scene in the book takes place during and after a Halloween party on the Princeton University campus. Let’s just say, one of the partygoers doesn’t make it to dawn…
This is the first book I’ve done in a long time that qualifies as a romance as well as a paranormal thriller–but it’s a dark romance. It was tough getting these characters together, and I’m eager to see how it will be received by readers and reviewers. At leat my critique group and my editor thought I pulled it off!
