King’s Heir

 

The King Trilogy, Book 1

Joy Brooks

Raised from infancy to be ignorant of his birthright and duty, Rayden is caught unawares when he is eventually forced into his role as king of seventeenth century Ruar.

Rayden intends to refuse that unwelcome responsibility, but his most beloved and loyal companion betrays him by making an alliance with Rayden’s father.

Others aim to see destiny fulfilled—no matter the cost to the comfort, dignity, or liberty to the King’s Heir.

Author Bio: I am a southern lady in love with the mystery and adventure associated with medieval warriors and royalty. I fill my spare time with reading, writing, cross-stitching, and playing with my nine cats. I enjoy the quiet life in a quaint, historic Georgia town.

I began writing in 2009. It had been a passion of mine since I was in my teens. I sent my first book submission to a publisher when I was in my early twenties. It was turned down but actually, it was a very nice rejection letter. If I had looked at it objectively, I would have seen that I did have a future in writing. I figured maybe writing wasn’t for me but my desire to write never left me. Finally one April morning in 2009, I decided to follow my dream. I haven’t stop writing and I never will.

I am involved with several writing groups, eTreasures publishing, Writers and Readers, Book Daily, Coffee Time, and many others. I believe associating with authors is rewarding. It gives a writer valuable insights into the world of authors and publishing.

Cyber Vamps

By

 

Jack Horne

I have loved vampires and vampire stories ever since I was a child. An episode of Starsky & Hutch, where a twisted killer dressed in a cape and wore fangs, thrilled me when I was eight. Bram Stoker’s Dracula is one of my favorite books, and I decided to write a vampire novel after visiting Whitby, England and seeing where part of the great work is set. Anne Rice’s excellent Vampire Chronicles also fed my passion. I was almost convinced that Lestat was really out there.

Yes, I love those, but I wanted to write something completely different…

I heard about energy-stealing ‘psi’ vampires quite by chance. My mind instantly went into overdrive: what if blood-drinkers and energy-stealers met? Would they be enemies or allies? Could there even be a hybrid?

My former wife was a fan of internet chat (and met her current partner through a fantasy chat room). The idea of someone chatting online to vampires was when the book finally came together. How could anyone be certain that he or she was chatting with role players? What if real vampires came into a chat room?  Would the chat fan ever discover the truth? And what would happen if they met in reality?

This book really couldn’t have happened without my former wife, who also loves vampires. I have dedicated Cyber Vamps to Sue in recognition and thanks for her help and advice…and for convincing me that I could write!

Cyber Vamps

Alone and dying, Renee Svensson’s only distraction is her passion for vampires. Fueled by a lifelong fascination, she sets up an online chat room where she meets Aurelia, allegedly a blood drinker from ancient Rome, and Suze, a misfit psi vampire. But are they role players or bona fide vampires? How can Renee tell?

The three have one thing in common: loneliness.

As each life story unfolds, they become close friends. Aurelia tirelessly searches for Demetrios, the one who made her a vampire. An eternal outsider with a recently broken heart, Suze is looking to belong somewhere.

Renee has dreamed of being a vampire for as long as she can remember. Now with time running out, she decides to believe in her new friends and help Aurelia find Demetrios in the hope Aurelia will give her the gift of immortality before Renee’s time ends. When Lowe, a vampire slayer, befriends Renee, her feelings for him force her to question her allegiance. And if that weren’t enough, the ghost of a slain vampire starts appearing to her…
