About

I could have written a good book about the nine years to date that I have battled Mesothelioma, but I thought maybe a good fiction novel would be a way to bring in funds for a much needed cause. We need funds to find a cure for this cancer that leaves no one standing.

Each of The Dreamweaver's Choice is donated to the Charity of MFMRF, I have taken nothing, paid for all printing and artwork costs myself. I do hope that in time many books will be sold and if possible the charity will keep receiving funds from the sales long after I have gone.

I just need you the public to get behind this book and buy it for young family members. Yes it has vampires, not many nasty ones but enough to give the book a story of good vs bad. There's a Newfoundland Dog, a paranormal police woman, a ghost and a couple of really good looking guys. What is there not to like?

It isn't a horror with lots of killing but a good story where good outwits evil, a good read along the way with some interesting twists.

Please get behind us and support the charity, at the same time you may even enjoy the read.

Ready to go

After months of starting and stopping on editing The Vial of Darkness I have finally sent the formatted version to some printers.
 
I never looked around the first time, using a printer that was recommended to me and now I truly regret that as it seems they are or were one of the most expensive and gave little help in the area of formatting or telling you what to do or the errors of your setting out.
 
Now I have a better idea, 2nd time you do learn, if not then you aren't in the right field!  So I have painstakingly gone through the book, ensuring that blank pages are at the front, the Chapters start at the same point and the text looks good.  Honest, when I first printed The DreamWeaver's Choice I thought printers did all this, so naive am I!
 
So I have found a one that is coming in less than the last, the book won't make that much per copy but it is something.  I would have been better just writing a cheque to MKMRF for £2,500 instead of having the book printed but then there is always the hope that some publisher will read it and go wow this could make a good book with the right promotion and the charity could make a lot of money.  Plus the book could still be on sale long after I have died and the money still paying into the charity.  You just never know.
 
My good friend and fellow Mesothelioma sufferer Mavis Nye, also writer of a few good books herself, has again had a go at me to write my own journey through this cancer. 
 
Find Mavis Nye's book here Meso Warrior
 
I wonder if people with Meso would really want to read about it and how do you start.  It isn't easy going back 9 + years, although I remember many events as if they happened yesterday.  The thing is fiction is much easier as you aren't having to face your own demise.

So the news is that hopefully the new book will be published just in time for Christmas and I hope that those who bought the first novel will actually buy the second.  My hubby, who hates fiction by the way, thinks this book is 300 times better than the first, the story grips you and you can't put it down.  I have sent it out to 4 other readers, none that I personally know, and each has come back raving about it.  One complained was one got no work done because she had to finish it once she got into chapter ten.  Oh dear, I hope she served her clients in the shop!  Another in California can't wait for a book three!

I am only ordering 100 copies, I know that I have sales for the majority of these so if you are wanting the next copy please as soon as I have it up for sale please go for it.  I have no idea of the breakdown after the first 100 copies are printed and would not like to charge more than I need to as I want to ensure money does go to both MKMRF and Mesothelioma UK this time.

Thanks for your support.

Met Lauren

Today the young girl who drew the back cover came to meet me.  Last time I saw her she was 5 years old and had called in to work to see her Dad.
 
Today she is a smart young lady, completing her graphic design degree.  She has several ideas for the back cover so I am just leaving her too it.
 
It was nice when she told me how she had enjoyed The DreamWeaver's Choice but she prefers The Vial of Darkness.  Maybe I can find a market with younger readers than with the older ones I had aimed for, bearing in mind I wrote it to raise funds for MKMRF.
 
She finds it amazing that some one can write a book, I think it is amazing people can draw so well and have the imagination to picture what they want to see.  I guess we complimented each other several times this morning.
 
Oh well, having being off colour I have finally finished reading and marking the last edit, just need to finish changes on the manuscript then send it to Amazon Kindle to sell.
 
If anyone who purchased the book would like a paperback please let me know, I won't be printing 500 copies off this time, just enough to sell to those who would like to read the next one.
 
If anyone is looking for a smart graphic designer in a year's time I would certainly hope you thought of Lauren.

Waiting for Designs

I am pleased to say that I am nearly at the end of rereading the final draft of "The Vial of Darkness", the cover for the front is with Liz and Laura has nearly completed the back cover.
 
I have enjoyed reading the story again and have found different things in it this time round.  Strange when you write something you don't fully read the story as such.  In fact I keep amazing myself that I actually wrote this.
 
Yes you can tell I am a novice at writing but I don't have the education behind me in writing skills for pleasure.  My letter writing has always been business, throughout commerce they never teach you how to write a book do they.
 
For those who enjoyed The DreamWeaver's Choice I know you will enjoy this one even more.  You know the characters but they have evolved.  No 3, at the moment I haven't thought of a name for it, I like too.  Although I haven't reread what I have written, I know from my own thoughts it will have a rewrite for some of the chapters.  I just need to find some time and so energy to get things done.
 
Having had these few weeks of illness and spending time at home would have been a perfect opportunity to work on it but I didn't have the energy or the motivation to do either.
 
I am sorry "The Vial of Darkness" isn't finished in time, I had aimed for the end of July, but I am sure it won't be long before I put it up on Kindle and organise just a few printed copies.
 
I would be over the moon if you have read The DreamWeaver's Choice, if you would leave some comments on this blog.

A Book review left on facebook

What a lovely comment posted on facebook for me.

I sure do hope you feel good enough to finish the second book Jan, I thoroughly enjoyed The Dreamweaver's Choice, just finished it this afternoon. I am amazed at your strength to get through all the treatments, aches and pains associated with Meso and still have a clear enough mind to tell such a rich and engrossing tale.

Liz and I are still proof reading Book 2, which includes some of the strong characters from Book 1, and book 3 is already started, although this time a different hunt altogether.  Lauri will be using more of her paranormal skills to track down a killer, obviously with the help of Bear.

Sunday 26 May 2013

Third Book

I haven't finished proof reading the second book in the series of Bear Boy but I just had to write and started the third. 

I have promised myself that The Vial of Darkness will be out by end of July so I had better get the proof reading finished sooner than later.

I do wish I had an agent who would take care of these finer details but Liz has done a marvellous job so far and without her I doubt The DreamWeaver's Choice would have made it to Kindle let alone printed.

I was supposed to be in the Sunday Sun this weekend, a review on why the book was written and why it is important for people to buy it.  After all £4 isn't that expensive on Kindle or £5.99 from me, although postage is the killer.

I have sent quite a few airmail, £9.90 to the USA for one book, what happened to postage, even in the UK it was £3.00.  The world has gone crazy, no wonder more people email than write letters these days.

Please if you have read Bear Boy 1 - The DreamWeaver's Choice spread the word or at least leave me your comments.

Mixed Reviews

When I  started The DreamWeaver's Choice I sent the first 6 or 8 chapters to Liz to see what she thought, she was the one who encouraged me to carry on and waiting daily for the next chapter to arrive.  Once I had completed the whole manuscript we then proof read and I changed the corrections, added a few bits in then passed it around to a couple of my friends and she a couple of hers.  The feed back was really good but I listened to one that said I needed to explain more up front about who the characters were.
 
I  adjusted the first six chapters taking the mystery away from what the characters and allowing them to grow slowly instead  I gave full descriptions up front making Chapters 1 to 3 quite full on and all suspense dissipated
 
From the feed back I have received todate it seems I should have left things stand, but being naïve and my first ever full 140,000 word manuscript thought someone with a degree would be right.
 
Nearly everyone I know has struggled with the opening chapters but once through have found the book a good read.
 
I wish when I had changed the opening chapters I had sent it back out for readings and opinions but I can't do anything about it now.
 
So if you are reading the book and would like to make a comment please feel free to do so, feed back is what every one wants when they first start out on a new journey.  It may also help or put off some one else from reading it.
 
As per The Vial of Darkness, because you know the characters this should be an easy read, one review so far on the draft is Explosive.

Available from your bookshop

Have just realised you can order The DreamWeaver's Choice from your book shop, all you need is the title.  Any queries the ISBN No is 978-0-9576071-0-1.

I was due to take 250 books up to Mick Knighton Mesothelioma Research Fund's HQ today and catch up with Chris Knighton but due to having difficulties putting my foot on the ground, I have had to put this back.

Liz, my proof reader, has been out selling the books - everyone she meets at her gym, local store etc.  She is amazing as well as contacting one of the local news papers and has arranged an interview regarding the book and the reasons for publishing.

Onward and upwards, but I would like to say a special thanks to those out there who have not only purchased it on Kindle but have also bought the paperback too.

I must admit writing is a joy but editing and publishing does take the fun away, if I hadn't decided to do it for the charity I'm not sure I would have gone this far.

Printed Book Arrival

Excitement mounted in our household this morning when the delivery of my first printed book arrived.


As we have guest's I had to do my first book signing, wow do you know how hard it is to think of something to write inside.

Chapter Five


Amelia pushed Hugh back into the sofa and cuddled up next to him, wanting to feel his body close to hers, it wasn’t a sin as they were man and wife but had never been able to celebrate the occasion in the traditional way.  She had died a virgin bride and it seemed like it would remain that way, the intimacy of lovemaking being something neither of them will ever know.

Hugh felt her body through the cotton dress, he felt an urge of human desire sweep across his whole being.  He pulled her tight against him wanting nothing more than to slowly undress her, kiss her ripe body and for them to feel the pleasure of each other.  He let his mind wander to what he would do, imagining her soft flesh under his touch.  As his mind was dreaming he felt something else trying to break into his thoughts, darkness, a terrible pit of darkness.

Amelia too was imagining the touch of his hand but felt him pulling away from her, she lifted her head and saw that his eyes were closed.  Thinking he had fallen asleep she laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes.  If possible she would stay with him while he slept and hopefully still be here when he awoke.

Feed back

Hi All,

I have heard from a couple that the first couple of chapters are hard work, but then aren't all great books that way!!!!

The first few chapters are introducing you to the characters and what TransNormal, DreamWeaver, Shadow Watchers and Creepers mean.  I have tried to bring something different to the world of vampire books by adding in the paranormal and good spirits that we all wish to believe in.

If you have read the book, I would love some feed back on the comments you can leave on this site.

In the meantime thank you to those who have bought it, the printed copy will be available soon for those who don't wish to use a kindle or ipad.

Chapter Four Extract


Abe probed Hugh’s mind to see what he was thinking, his quietness was driving him crazy. Normally they would be chatting and joking during a journey.  Amelia would often be with them and once they were in the location she would do her thing and using her spirit form to pinpoint the Mark.  She would tell them whether he was acting dangerously.   As he probed into Hugh’s mind he found him thinking about one of their earlier escapades.

The Ball was drawing to a close, the air outside still humid and heavy from the heat of the day.  A storm was brewing as the clouds began pulling together, the sound of slow rumbling thunder in the distance.  Several of the guests were already gathering outside the main entrance waiting for their carriages to draw up, the music still audible from the ball room.  Abe was now hiding in the shadows cast by the fountain watching for the Vampires they had followed that evening and who were now departing. 

Having spent an hour mingling with the guests Abe had chosen the Vampires who were planning on feasting from the ladies they had escorted that evening.  It was a dangerous environment for either Hugh or Abe to be in, especially Hugh.  If he was ever discovered by the Coven of Vampires that assembled at these grand occasions he would suffer terribly before being killed.

Hugh had already taken the place of the driver, knocking him unconscious after feeding him bottles of ale and stripping him of his livery.  He kept his face down, his liveried hat tilted to keep his identity hidden. 

On Abe’s signal he gently brought the Clarence to a stop at the front door.  The party of four moved forward to Hugh’s carriage Abe whistled to Hugh that the party were ready to board.  Once the party were seated Hugh led the horses at a slow trot around the large courtyard so Abe could jump onto the back plate without being seen.  Once Abe had managed to take a secure hold Hugh put the horses into canter until they were off the estate and a few miles down the quiet lane.  Through earlier experiences the Vampires usually waited until they had the females in their homes before attacking them, but these Vampires were different. From Hugh’s seat he could hear the laughter and chatter die down, he knew that the Vampires had started their attack on the victims.  He took the decision to take them there and then so he whistled to Abe.  As Hugh pulled the horses to a stop Abe carefully made his way on to the top of the carriage.

With the unexpected stopping of the carriage one of the Vampires banged on the roof a couple of times demanding to know the reason why. When he received no response he alighted the carriage.  Just as he stepped out of the coach Abe jumped onto him, his knife in hand.  He took the man down and forced the blade directly into his heart.  One down one to go.  Hugh drew his sword, his fangs exposed as his temper fired.  He pulled open the carriage door, seeing the blood dripping from an open wound on one of the ladies necks, his temper flared.  The remaining Vampire taken by surprise leapt from his seat, discarding the woman like a rag doll to his side, his fangs covered in her fresh blood.  Hugh’s sword struck him hard taking his head from his shoulders.  Neither Hugh nor Abe had expected the Vampires to have commenced feasting and were now left with two young victims.  They had to make a decision there and then, change them or kill them.  The bodies of the Vampires already turned to ash mixing with the mud on the lane.

Short Stories and The Vial of Darkness

Have just finished draft one of the new book, as I am proof reading this one, which is so boring, I was thinking about doing a run of short stories on just Bear and Lauri.

I will post them on here in the hope that the few who visit this blog will enjoy the quick read, if I get even more computer literate I could maybe load them as pdf so you can download to read!

The DreamWeaver's Choice has sold 9 in the uk, I have finally sent the last draft to the printers and hopefully the book will be printed in a few weeks.  I know many people don't have a kindle so hoping this will get them out there.

Chris Knighton will be promoting them too.  Although I have enjoyed writing the books I do hope people will buy it, nothing is nicer than sharing.  Especially when you can be taken into a world that isn't your own, and the profit from the book is for a good cause.

Please leave comments about whether you would like short stories, feed back is something we all need.

Chapter Three


      “But child, you could return and be reborn and have a chance at living a full human life, this time staying till your full term” Superior Catherine smiled at her.

      “I am grateful for the opportunity to return and have a human life, indeed earth has changed since I was last a person” Amelia answered “But I do not wish to become a new human”

      “My child you would not know you were a new human once you are there” Superior Margaret exclaimed.

      “I realise I would have no memory of this world or the world I once knew” Amelia lifted her head and looked at the Superior who had spoken “But the world I have now is the world I wish to remain in”

      “My child that is no longer an option” Superior Catherine informed her, sincerely wishing it was different.

      “I want to be with Hugh, Superior Catherine.  I could not bear not being by his side” Amelia answered looking tearfully at the face of her Superior.

      “You will meet again in time when you return to the Earth Plane” Superior Margaret interrupted

      “It would not be the same, how would I know that he is my love?” Amelia answered

      “My child it is better to return with a clean memory so you may learn and experience new things” Superior Catherine chimed back.

      “But why would I wish not to remember the love I hold in my heart?” Amelia asked

      “Amelia you have seen so many come and go here.  They re-plan what they would like to achieve on Earth, they always ensure they are together with the spirit love of their hearts” Superior Margaret explained

      “Amelia, our spirit needs to grow and that is by experiencing life and loves, this is the way of our world and that of the one you may return to.” Superior Catherine leaned forward and gently cupped Amelia’s head in her hands.

      “I cannot ensure that Hugh will be in my life should I return” Amelia replied, a tear building in the corner of her eye.  “And If I do find him, how would I know he knew who I was?”

      “My Dear he would know who you are, he is a Vampire and really one so pure as you should not be involved with the Darkside.” Superior Augusta’s stated.

      “That is an extremely unfair comment to make” Amelia was shocked, “After everything he has done to help save innocent lives, ensuring the Vampires had respect for human life and wants nothing for himself”

      “He has taught you how to track down Vampires” Superior Augusta continued

      “Yes, and those Vampires were going to take out innocent lives, is it not our responsibility to care for those on the earth plane?” Her anger was starting to build.

      “Enough” Superior Catherine clapped her hands “This is about Amelia’s choice, not what she has or hasn’t done”

      “I am sorry, you are correct Catherine, her choice of love is not our discussion” Augusta felt chastised.

The gathering fell silent for a few minutes, it seemed to Amelia that they were conversing between themselves without actually speaking.  A few times she caught one or two of the Superiors looking at her then bowing their heads as if in conversation.  The voices on the breeze sounded like they had become one but still Amelia was unable to hear the words.  She sat still, her hands resting nervously in her lap.

2nd Book

Had a little bit of writers block yesterday, Some 200 pages in, the plot is in place but when do I drop another piece of the puzzle!

Have a few more characters coming in and out of the main story line just to spice it up.  Maybe Abe could get a little jealous - who knows.

I didn't understand when I heard people talking about characters and how they grew with the story, I certainly do now.  I find myself wondering would Lauri like this or Abe that.  Even consider what Bear would want.

Needless to say the plot is good, Evil vs Good and Good has to win but what happens when the stakes are high and who do you trust.

The main characters are struggling with who to trust and now even the baddies are having the same problem.  Cecil is such a cunning person, and what of The Olders?  Will they double cross Inovercy to gain everything he dreamed of.

Not forgetting Chaos, does he hear everything they scheme, The Natural does.

Only my finger tips will know the outcome.

Nice Gesture

Although this blog is for the book I had to share the wonderful comments posted yesterday on an American Website.


“The DreamWeaver’s Choice” is a complex story of the battle of good versus evil where the central characters are vampires and spirits, and a human detective with her beloved K-9, Bear Boy. The story moves from the 1800’s, when vampires roamed the streets of England and viciously took victims, to modern day where vampires still live in England but have divided into factions of “good” vampires who live among humans without harming them, and “bad” vampires who continue to stalk and attack unsuspecting Brits.

The good vampires rely on a sophisticated set of medicines and supplies to help them function normally, but their enemies are working hard to hijack and sabotage their efforts while reaping billions of dollars by extorting the desperate vampires needing the potions to remain part of society. The players in the book have deeply intertwined lives and knowing who to trust becomes a matter of life and death.

“I only hope the book does the charity justice and raises some much needed funds,” says Jan.

Follow us: @_mesothelioma__ on Twitterough this blog is for the book I had a really good comment posted on a website yesterday. 

I have spent the last couple of days correcting my spellings and reformatting, one for paperback and one for Kindle.  Not knowing that I had to download the Kindle Version to correct it.  Now I have nothing to compare with as binned the typo errors!

If you find a typo, please let me know so I can fix it.

From Chapter Two


Levi had never really wanted to return to the shores of Britain, having been humiliated when they were exiled for bringing about too much publicity as a result of the number of unexplained deaths in the area. Lavinia, his wife, hated the place which Levi couldn’t understand, she hadn’t been the one banished.   He didn’t know whether it was the stories, which were now folklore or the fact that his picture still remained on many walls in the drinking houses.  He had tried to persuade her that in today’s world people would not know it was him.  How could their imagination match a picture against someone who would be three hundred plus years old, this coupled with the fact that the human race were ignorant to the existence of Vampires.  But he also had uneasy reservations about his own return.

It had been just over a month since their return and Levi could still picture the dereliction of the property.  How Lavinia had complained about the terrible state of the house and did he really expect her and her sister Malinda to stay in the rat infested place.  Not that she minded the odd rat but comfort was important, after all how could they invite back potential food to such a dump.

Levi knew that to find the Vial he would have to do a lot of restoration work, both the east and west wings of the house was under collapse with ceilings falling through from the 1st and 2nd floors.  The roof leaked terribly and he was unsure whether the floors would hold his weight.  Not that a fall would kill him but it could potentially injure his well-preserved body.

From Chapter One


Abe was just about to ask if Amelia had visited, maybe she could help on the final location and identification of the Mark.  Amelia had been missing now for a couple of weeks, this wasn’t usual for her, at most she had not appeared for a day or two and once it had been a week but this was different.  It was nearly three weeks since she last appeared and Abe knew that Hugh was worried, indeed so was Abe.

Hugh could sense the next word on Abe’s lips as they packed their gear and checked the guns, Hugh also liked to carry a medical box which held several syringes and various sleeping potions.  “No” he simply answered, “Amelia hasn’t been over lately”.  They left the inner office, clicking the door shut. Hugh thought back to the last time Amelia had appeared, she told him she had been offered a Transfer, but a Transfer in a different manner to what Hugh and Abe meant.  He hadn’t been able to ask her to explain as the Shadow Watchers had arrived and she had gone. Hugh looked back at the screen and watched the Mark for a few more moments, he knew it may not be him but the thought that was pulling him more and more at this moment was his hunger.  Hugh wasn’t sure whether to disclose this information but if circumstances were different he would want to know.  After all it could affect the safety of the team.

      “I feel like I haven’t sated for a week Abe” Hugh cautiously stated, “I need more Nuits”

      “When did Vampage start?” Abe asked back, this could cause serious problems in the field.

Prologue


Prologue

1985

The darkness was being intermittently interrupted by the blinking of a malfunctioning streetlight as Carol proceeded home from her first evening as a bartender.  She had been promised a lift home by the landlord but after a full shift of his leering, pawing and unsubtle innuendos she resolved walking home was the safest option.  She knew the area well although she would not normally wander through it after nightfall.
The streetlight blinked again illuminating her watch.  Just after midnight she sighed.  Berating herself for not taking a taxi and bemoaning the fact she now worked for an aging lecherous lothario she quickened her pace to hasten the journey to the sanctuary of her home.   She turned to check behind her and caught the cast of a shadow in the streetlight as it blinked off, her heart froze for an instant making her pulse beat that little faster but as the light blinked back on no one was there.  Her relief was palpable as she walked further through another passage of darkness.

 The man had been wandering the streets looking for someone inebriated or alone.  He had just about given up hope of finding something to feed from in this part of the town, debating with himself whether he should risk a busy and more populated area.  He caught the scent of her before her shadow was cast on the paving, she was heading north of his position past the closed offices that had once brought prosperity to the area, now closed with no security guards or camera’s on duty.  He knew she wouldn’t hear him approach her until it was too late.
They had followed the trial for several nights only to lose him among the built up areas of the town.  Their new equipment was still basic only indicating a radius of where he would be, not the exact location, finding that was Amelia’s task. Amelia had joined them a few minutes early bringing them to this street in the hope that her vantage point from the Ether Plane had been correct.   They waited patiently for the moment at which to strike, Amelia checking every few seconds that he was still heading their way.  It was then that she saw the girl walking towards them, was that why he was here, was he stalking the young girl.

Carol checked over her shoulder again, her adrenalin still flowing and her senses heightened, making the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.  She was certain she caught a glimpse of him behind her, straining her ears she wasn’t able to hear any footsteps, she nervously laughed at herself for being so jumpy.
  A junction was only a few yards ahead of her, it took an alternate route to her neighbourhood but would add a further five minutes to her journey.  She purposefully marched on as every sound, every perceived movement elicited a response to her already attuned senses.
She hurried to the corner at least on this road the street lights seemed to be fully operable.  As she turned the corner she felt a hand close over her mouth, her eyes widened as the fear took hold.  She could feel the strength in his body as his arms pulled her back into the darkness of the road she had exited. She tried to scream then a sound that she could only describe as Whoosh went past her ear.  The hand suddenly released its hold, she ran not daring to look back.
Hugh returned his weapon to its holster just inside his jacket, Abe collecting the clothes that lay discarded on the ground.

“Amelia we could never have done this without you” Hugh said as he watched the girl run down the road.
“She didn’t know how close that was” Abe said, “another couple of seconds and we would have lost her, leaving the police with another unexplained death”.

“I guess being dead does have some benefits” Amelia laughed as she hugged them both.

Whats it About?


June,  1826 was the happiest day of Hugh’s life as he married his childhood sweetheart Amelia. What started as matrimonial bliss turned to tragedy as Amelia is slain by a notorious vampire dandy, Levi. Hugh distraught and heartbroken vowed revenge and began a crusade to rid the world of vampires, including of course Levi.

His vitriolic hatred of vampires, all they did and all they stand for led Hugh to take escalating risks. Miscalculating, one day he finds himself outnumbered and despite valiant efforts succumbs to the fangs of fate and is doomed to be a vampire forever. Strangely at this point he feels the warmth of loving sensation of Amelia’s spirit.  With her presence and his ingrained vitriol towards vampires together with a similar minded vampire, Abe they resolve to enable vampires to live a human like existence free from the night and free from murderous urges to sate on human blood.

They form an organisation, the VTLO, to develop, manufacture and distribute products (DLF’s and Nuits). These products are potentially highly lucrative but are made available free to those vampires wishing to function and behave in a human like way. Those that don’t wish to conform to their ideology and maintain the old ways are mercilessly hunted.

Moving to modern times this exhilarating novel charts Hugh, Abe and Amelia’s quest to track down nonconformists and the culprits of several recent human disappearances and massacres. Their path is crossed by lead detective on the murders DC Lauri Howard and her faithful canine companion Bear Boy.

In addition to this quest the potentially highly lucrative VTLO is subject to the attention of several Older vampires who along with infiltrators, a small army of insatiable new born vampires and an unwitting Levi mount a concerted battle to acquire the organisation and reap the billions of earnings from charging for the products.

Will the Olders succeed?

Will Hugh exact revenge on Levi? What could the consequences of this be for Amelia’s spirit?

Will DC Lauri and Bear Boy stand with or against Hugh, Abe and Amelia and can they escape the carnage?

Will the world be dominated by Vampire Oligarchs through mass wealth and power?

These questions and those of the many intriguing sub plots will leave the reader enthralled and spellbound and  are answered in the dynamic and explosive final chapter.

One question remains. What happened to Lord Cecil Leatherton

The DreamWeavers Choice

I am hoping that my cover will be complete by the end of February and the book will be on Amazon for Kindle users the first week of March, just have to work out how I format the thing to publish it.
