I write fantasy for teens and adults. I'm an avid reader and enjoy authors such as Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, PC & Kristin Cast, Richelle Mead, LJ Smith, Suzanne Collins, Derek Landy, Obert Skye, and Brandon Mull to name a few. I absolutely love vampires but I enjoy fantasy of all kinds.

I'm addicted to Oreos and White Knight drinks from Perks. When I'm not writing I enjoy traveling, playing board and card games, killing zombies on the Xbox 360 with my hubby, listening to music, playing guitar, going to concerts, and spending time with friends and family.

My favorite color is green and the uglier the shade, the better. I get bored of my hairstyle easily which has resulted in many hair colors in the last ten years. My hair is currently red, but who knows how long that might last.

I live in Southern Utah with my husband and son. The second book in the Blood And Guitars series, Immortals And Melodies, will be released in May of 2012.

Aurora is a vampire who meets a boy Trey, whilst she is out searching for her next meal and for some reason she can’t bring herself to drink from him. After meeting Aurora, superstar lead singer Trey can’t get her out of his mind. He has even started dreaming about her. As their relationship begins to grow Aurora is forced to hide what she really is from him, as well as hiding their relationship from the other vampires. Aurora must keep her two worlds separate or there may be devastating consequences.

I really enjoyed this book, even more than I thought I would actually. Due to the massive popularity of vampire books, it is very hard to find one that doesn’t seem like one we already read. I enjoyed the fact that it was the female who was the vampire and the male who was human. Whilst this was not the first book I have read that has done that, it was definitely in the minority and therefore refreshing. I believe this book has broad appeal and will be enjoyed by both teens and adults alike and also by fans of different book genres. Whilst this book is a fantasy about vampires, the fantasy element is quite light and the book is actually more dominated by the music. The romance between the two main characters is sweet, clean and engaging. I would recommend this book to fans of fantasy, romance and music based books of all ages. I look forward to seeing what happens next for Trey and Aurora in the second of what seems to be a promising series of books.
