-Vampires do not live for ever. Immortality is earned...

I write Historical Vampire Fiction, putting a new twist on the genre by re-examining it from a more logical fantasy perspective. My book, "Bathory's Secret" is currently available on Amazon.com. My blog is full of groovy stuff too (YES I said stuff!).

And now for the Book Blurb: The year is 1609 and fourteen year old Kati lives in the outskirts of Csejthe Castle, the home of the powerful Countess Erzsébet Báthory. When the Countess personally shows up at Kati’s house offering her a job at the castle, she is happy to go if it’ll help her mother break out of poverty. Once at the castle, the Countess ensures that Kati is illiterate before giving her the task of binding a series of centuries old notebooks which hide a blood soaked and violent past. As the months progress Kati discovers that her new mistress is fearsome, cruel and dangerous, but she is unable to leave the castle without fear of retribution. She realizes that her only hope of understanding and escaping the Countess hides within the journals she is unable to read...

And if you're not convinced yet, here's proof all the other kids on Amazon liked it: This book was unbelievably good. I don't normally read books with a vampire theme, but I am so glad I read this one. This book features a beautifully rich story, in-depth characters, and even a tale within a story, which is one of my favorite things about this novel. This book also offers love, loss, oppression, and a kitten. Additionally, there were a few gory parts, as well as some very interesting religious undertones that are pretty fascinating, if you keep an open mind.

...The whole novel is full of great moments of suspense and intrigue, and nothing was glossed over. I really am interested to see what happens in the second installment.
