The second book of my first, last and probably only foray into vampire fiction--
Warding the Covenants (co written with Rob Graham) was released today from Aspen Mountain Press--and, just to tie things up in a nice little knot, I turned in the final manuscript for the third book to my editor today too.
When Marcellin Dautin is named the Elder of Venice, fledgling vampire Marguerite and her husband Gunther agree to accompany him in hopes of learning more about the Russian revolt against the Conclave of Elders. After an ancient renegade vampire murders the Doge, they are drawn into a dangerous hunt for the assassin.
But as Marguerite's powers grow, so too does the danger. Some vampires oppose Marcellin's rule over Venice, the renegade has begun to stalk Marguerite and her old Russian enemies are determined to capture her and the Elder's sword she bears. While Venice dances through the Carnivale season, Gunther must lay aside all restraint to protect his young wife. Can they remain true to the Covenants they've pledged to preserve or will their love shatter under the strain of warding the Covenants?
Nothing is quite as satisfying as book release day...
