Produktbeschreibung

Newly-made vampire Joseph O'Reily has rejected his vampire lover Cassandra and declared their relationship at an end. Although he loves Cassandra - and she loves him - he knows their relationship cannot survive because she places such low worth on human life and morals. Former pirate and vampire sire Anne Bonny is bored from spending almost a century on a tropical island and makes her way to St. John's after receiving the last thoughts of her creation, John Snow. Once in Newfoundland she engages with Joseph and Cassandra, both of them surprised to see a vampire that doesn't wish them harm. Joseph, who is dealing with his failed relationship with Cassandra and his new one with Anne, has forgotten a human figure from his past, Augustus Green, a pimp and murderer. Green plans revenge for the brutal beating Joseph and Cassandra gave him months ago. The Emperor Commodus, leader of the vampire council, has commanded his subjects, Count Dracula, Countess Elizabeth Bathory and others, to swell the ranks of his evil army by creating brainwashed vampires. Hope is not lost though as other vampires secretly prepare for the war to fight for their survival and humanity's. Anne Bonny devises a plan that would mean the death of the Countess and replacing her. Joseph must make the decision to join Anne on his own. As his enemies gather, so do his friends, and Joseph discovers he has allies he never even knew about. The good side of the Council holds its own meeting that Joseph and Cassandra are secretly invited to. With Anne and Cassandra at his side, they wage a desperate battle against the Countess, in the hopes of not just defeating her but striking a pre-emptive blow against the forces of evil. Joseph is ready to take on his greatest challenge yet. If he wins, good will prevail. If he fails, he will enable the destruction of the entire world. With a lot riding on him, Joseph can only hope for help from old friends and old flames alike, if he is to turn the tide of destiny.

Autorenporträt

I'm currently living in the beautiful province of Newfoundland where I am a co-owner of O'Keefe Agencies. As regards to my personal life I'm happily married and we have two cats named Jude and Eleanor. I enjoy many hobbies such as walking, Pilates, writing, reading, movies, gaming, television, poker, Ingress and of course vampires (not the sparkly kind!). Lately I've been very focused on writing; and my first novel, 'The Newfoundland Vampire', was rel-released in April, 2015. The second book "Killer on the Road" was re-released, also by Distinguished Press, in November of 2015 and the third book "The Gathering Dark" was just released this in July of 2016 by Four Phoenixes Publishing. My fourth book (tentatively called "War of the Fangs") is also forthcoming. I believe in animal rights and I have been a strict vegetarian for many years. I also believe in helping to save our planet and trying to help people whenever I can. I would also describe myself as Agnostic. I have a BA in English along with Masters in education which provided me with a brief teaching career. I also love to travel (do it as often as I can) and I enjoy going to concerts and shows. While I enjoy spending time with friends I've also come to love time for myself and going for long walks outside.
