Now my followers know that I usually stick to romance but branched out a bit with my short story collection last month. Well prepare yourselves, people!
Threads of A Web is book one of a science fiction/horror series that is quite unlike what I have written so far. In fact, this material is far older than anything I have published! I started taking notes for this book back in 2008 after having some intense dreams about vampires. After years of a love/hate relationship with the characters, I finally think I am ready to send it out into the world. It is both terrifying and glorious to know that something that has so much of my soul embedded in it will finally be released from it's cage to fly amongst others.
Be warned! This is 18+ material here, and I don't mean naughty sex scenes either. My characters experience emotional and physical traumas that are not for the weak of stomach. On the other hand, the bonds and friendships formed throughout the story between this diverse group of creatures may call forth feelings of an entirely different nature.
This is a sister series to Some By Day, Some By Night so you may recognize a few characters popping in and out of the Lord Gerard's Coven series. (For example, what was Serahfine like before she met Dmitri? What becomes of Artus and Alexus?) Though each book, and series, can be read separately, back stories and further explanations for certain characters' situations will be found in both so honestly, just read them all!
Anywho, here is the blurb for Threads of A Web:
Marla has recently been changed into a vampire and she finds that a life of murder and bloodshed suits her just fine. Especially since there is a secret war between the vampires and the humans raging around her. Killing humans for money was her job when she was one and now killing them for fun is justified in her eyes.
Making close friends and becoming part of a coven was unexpected and soon Marla finds herself torn between her old ways of murder and mayhem and a new side of herself that only wants to kill to protect her dear friends. She has found a family at last. But can she keep them?
Just when things seem to be looking up for the coven, an alien race invades Earth, intent on exterminating humans and vampires alike.
Will the vampires defend the humans who have hunted them for decades? Can this invading race be eliminated before the entire coven is destroyed?
Take a gander at this gorgeous cover that Julie Nicholls created. Isn't it stunning? She is so talented.
If anyone is interested, I have Advanced Reader Copies (ARC) available for those who would like to read it before it is released, with the promise of giving an honest review within two weeks of the release day.
I'm hosting an awesome Facebook party for the release of Threads and everyone is invited! Though release day is still a ways off, the giveaways and teasers have already started. I'm giving away free paperbacks and e-books and all kinds of cool swag so drop by and get Stuck In A Web On New Year's Day!
