BLURB:
Human blood is an illicit and addictive drug--if
you're a vampire. Termed Red, it causes insanity and death. Red-addicted
vampires called Poisoners are killing women, leaving behind bodies and risking
exposure of the vampire race. Then one victim survives…
Tall,
Dark, and Vampire
"I was drawn in right
away and stayed up late to finish. Hope this is the first in a series!"
Vampires look human. They sound
human. They eat Pastrami on Rye just like the rest of us.
But they’re not like the rest
of us. They’re like humans…on radioactive steroids.
Twenty-five years ago physician and vampire Evan Nichols
lost everything. Now he’s got a second chance, but a crazed vampire from Evan’s
past has other ideas…
Dr. Evan Nichols, oncologist
and vampire, has chosen a monk-like existence, focusing on patient care and
research benefitting his vampire brethren. Twenty-five years ago his world
changed forever—the night he lost his fiancee and discovered his vampire
heritage. Now his government has ordered him to choose a partner. It’s an
unwelcome prospect, until he meets a human female.
Wary of relationships, Tara West pours her energies into inventing cutting-edge climbing equipment. Avoiding romantic entanglements has simplified her life. Despite her best intentions to resist, she finds herself involved with Nichols.
When a Red-addicted vampire poisons Tara, Evan rescues her, but that alone won’t save her life. The toxin kills in one hundred hours. Tara’s only chance is an antidote, a cure requiring the venom of the bastard who poisoned her. Evan must find this Poisoner before the madman dies of his addiction. With time running out, Evan races to formulate the cure before he loses his chance at love.

BIO
Once upon a time there was a little
girl who loved vampires. Books, movies, daytime TV--it didn’t matter. The
creatures weren’t frightening as much as fascinating, and Dion would have loved
to meet one. She was sure they had to be real, and the media had added all the
scary parts that couldn’t be true: sleeping in coffins, turning into a bat,
biting everyone in sight, burned up by sunlight. Weren’t they more human than
animal? Yes, they were like humans, but with a little superhero mixed in. And
wouldn’t it be fun to write it all down!
After years of workshops and countless
false starts, Dion hopped on a computer and began typing the story of her
imagined vampires and their world. It was paranormal, but there had to be
romance, right? She wrote. And edited. And rewrote. And edited and rewrote some
more until the vampires were ready for primetime in the world of fiction. She
has a fascination for paranormal romance and hopes to one day have a second
career as an author, but for now she’ll keep her day job.
Dion lives in the Midwest and is at
work on another manuscript.
