This week on Strange Histories and Coffee, we are learning all about vampires; their ancient origins, accounts of them in Europe, and the fact that Poland had a serious vamp problem. Among other bloody and juicy bits.

As noted at the end of the podcast, the descriptions for my novels are included, along with the links.

Book 1, Darkness Is Rising:

Vittoria da Verona, made into a vampire in 1347 A.D., has faced many trials in her lifetime. Heir to the throne of the Coven Sanguinis, Vittoria casts her life of vampire royalty aside and severs all ties after a betrayal from her maker, Marcella. But, a new foe is on the rise—one that is ancient and evil—seeking to destroy all that the vampires and werewolves have built since their creation.

Vittoria must enlist the help of witches, werewolves, hunters, and even her maker, to protect their kind from exposure. The young queen has one advantage on her side though—the aid of the First vampire created, who has come out of hiding for this specific battle. Religion, history, and the supernatural, blur together to form an enticing tale of bloodlust, power, and chaos.

Book 2, Chaos:

Betrayal seeps from within.

Devourers and bloodlusters have begun to expose themselves, forcing Vittoria and the group to increase their efforts against them. Their time runs short though—Enki is still in the wind but draws near, something both species sense.

The pressure to perform the incantation weighs on Emma, who had just recently discovered her dormant witch blood. But, some secret hangs in the air that could pit friend against friend. All paths lead to the ultimate battle of the species. Will those that follow Lilith prevail? Or will Enki succeed in his search for revenge?

Religion, history, and the supernatural, blur together to form an enticing tale of bloodlust, power, and chaos in the second installment of the Bloodlines Series.

Book 3, Kingdom Come:

There is an ever present danger in the air. Though the battle against Enki’s forces was won, a mysterious woman by the name of Eris is posing an even greater threat to humanity. Those that were in favor of exposure have become a severe risk as they increase their numbers and flock to Eris while she concocts her plans for vengeance. In order to defeat her, Vittoria and her friends will have to embark on dangerous quests and find a new way to lead their kinds through the world as it unravels. Each of them will have to play their part, but how far will some of them take it?

A new age is dawning, one that is deeply rooted in mythology, filled with transparency, and soaked in blood.
