Lifeblood Series

Lifeblood, Lostblood, and Lastblood are now available on Kindle.

Synopsis

As a dreadful twenty-first birthday present, Rosemary Sanguine was granted the gift of her own life by Thyme, a vampire who stopped her from becoming someone else’s next meal. Still, turning into a vampire was better than death, or so Rosemary thought. Now, she must deal with an unquenchable thirst for blood as she struggles to be a “good vampire,” one who does not kill humans.

However, for these vampires, feeding on animals is not an option. They can only feed on humans, specifically humans of the same blood type. From knocking over the Red Cross to milking her human boyfriend, Rosemary will try anything to keep her innocence intact.

On the other end of the spectrum is Thyme. He has no love for humans, or “cows” as he calls them. They are nothing more than food, and Rosemary is nothing more than an annoyance. But for Rosemary, Thyme is her only friend, the only one who understands her suffering, the only one who can save her from herself.

“You were right, Thyme. That story was not hopeful. Don’t you have any stories of happy vampire couples, like the ones in books and movies?”

“Life rarely imitates art, Rosemary, because art is always hopeful, but there is nothing hopeful about vampirism. It is a curse, and the benefit that excites so many people’s imagination, that of long life, so often becomes nothing but a prison sentence, one made with bars of unfulfilled desire, guarded by sentinels of sorrow and regret, and mastered only by a warden of death.”

Synopsis

The anti-romance tale of Lifeblood continues in the sequel, Lostblood. Rosemary Sanguine has been captured by Caesar Romaine, a vampire with a grudge against Thyme. But when Thyme surrenders himself to save Rosemary, she must decide how far she is willing to go in order to rescue him, especially with her mouth-watering little sister so close by, because if she just had enough blood in her system, enough food in her body, she might have the strength to escape.

Even with her freedom, Rosemary's life as a vampire has not become any easier. She still must feed on humans of her same blood type in order to survive, and her standards are dropping. Worst of all, when Rosemary slips up and leaves behind evidence of a vampire attack, Sbhace—an old friend of Thyme's and an enforcer of the law—shows up to hear her make a plea for her crimes.
"I did good?"

"You did exceptional, Rosemary. It is a sad truth that killing does get easier with time."

Synopsis

In this final installment of the Lifeblood series, Lastblood, Rosemary has accepted her life as a vampire. Family, children, love, these are passing dreams, dreams she'll continue to chase. After sparing the life of a child not so different from herself, Rosemary commits the greatest sin a vampire can commit. She wants to settle down, wants to forget all her problems, wants to play house. But trouble is sure to follow when grudges last forever.

"In the fleeting moments of my waning life, I saw time descend, as if sent by heaven, yet undoubtedly ordained by hell, for my savior became my slayer."
