Produktbeschreibung

When a self-loathing Gay man-Jack, meets elegant yet incredibly mysterious Laurent Richelieu, he thinks his stroke of bad luck with men and women has come to an end. Or is it the beginning of a nightmare? Jack is unaware of the dark history that unfolded centuries earlier, with Laurent's lover and vampire maker Fabien Levesque-who was destroyed in front of him in a jealous fit of rage by his vampire maker Stefan, exacting revenge for Fabien's rejection of him. As Jack and Laurent begin their courtship-Jack encounters horrifying experiences involving paranormal experiences, vampirism, and possible reincarnation, making him question his sanity. The more time Jack spends with his mysterious European love interest, the more revealed about the dark secret awaiting Jack. Are they destined to be together? -does Laurent honestly care for Jack? Or is there a much more sinister plot involved? Can the help of a self-described, Voodoo High Priestess named "Queen Raphaella" alter Jack's predestined future or is his fate already sealed?"

Autorenporträt

Len Handeland has always enjoyed writing and drawn to being creative-as far back as he can remember. Back in middle school, when he and his classmates were assigned a book report, and the others groaned, Len cheered-not only being given an exciting novel to read but also composing the essay assignment. Everything had to be perfect, the spelling, grammar, and accuracy regarding the subject matter. Later on-in his late teens, Len attended the fashion institute (FIT) in Manhattan studying fashion illustration; years later, he decided to pursue a career in the hair industry using his artistic training and creativity to excel in hair. After attending several creative writing classes and attending the San Francisco International writers' conference, he decided it was time for him to write a vampire novel of his own. Len is a big fan of Anne Rice's work (having read all of her Vampire Chronicles books) and credits her for inspiring him. Len's afinity for horror and knowledge of the vampire genre gave him the ability to create a different story-where love is the only thing that matters and where the sexual orientation of his same-sex couples is less ambiguous. The author is currently working on his second novel entitled "Requiem for Miriam," a murder, mystery, crime drama with a hint of paranormal added for extra intrigue, set in Manhattan and Westchester county in the 1980s. When Len isn't writing, some of his hobbies include reading and vegetarian cooking. Along with this, his other hobbies include hiking, biking, and billiards. He enjoys the performing arts and has trained in Martial Arts for over 25 years. Len lives in Palm Springs, California, with his husband, Byron, and their two tuxedo cats, Felix & Felicia (siblings). Handeland said, "I hope you enjoy reading this book and that it thrills and entertains and gives you a bit of a chill. I've had such a pleasure writing this, it truly was a labor of love!"
