“A silence settles over the house; the ticking of the grandfather clock is as loud as nails being pounded into the lid of a coffin.” Breed has been compared to Rosemary’s Baby, but I didn’t get that connection at all.

The concept of Incarnation is brilliant: what if Bram Stoker had written Dracula in order to cover up the fact that vampires actually exist, and the book was created for the sole purpose of throwing off the scrutiny of the public? And what if Lucy Westenra is a real vampire who finds out about the […]

And on October 30 2012, her new YA book Reaping Me Softly (Omnific Publishing) will be released. And now for the gorgeous cover… Here’s what the book is […]
Pale Horse is the third book in the Project Eden series, an exciting, edge-of-your-seat kind of story about biological warfare and what could happen if one powerful group of people decided to annihilate 99% of humanity by releasing a deadly flu virus into the population. When I started reading this installment, I figured it was […]
