My first book is All Hallows Blood, which the ladies at Crescent Moon Press have so awesomely decided to publish.

My book follows Keila O'Broin, last of a long family of psionicists. Psionicists are psychic warriors, with varied skills. She's young, orphaned, depressed and struggling just to keep her head up. She goes out on Halloween to mourn the anniversary of her mother's death, and gets nice and drunk. Unprepared to have to use her talents again, Keila's surprised when ghosts ask her to avenge them.

Bound by her family creed to Help those who need you, Keila goes to investigate, and encounters the killer. He's a vampire, but her combat skills allow her to overcome him. Barely. Bleeding out, weary, drunk, Keila passes out just as Varick arrives.

That's where the story really begins. Varick Eitenhauer is the head vampire of Portland, and he's tracking down a rival who insists on killing the kids of his followers. He doesn't understand why, but he knows Keila is part of this, and he conscripts her into his battle. Passion flares between them, which they each try to deny, and must eventually embrace.

This book has some graphic sex scenes, and some borderline graphic fight scenes. It's most certainly not a fun little happy romp through the night, but neither is it dreary and totally dark.

And if you're interested in getting an autograph, email me. I've got little book plates I can send you, or (if you're local or coming through Vegas) we might be able to meet up.
