Reading his work and working at a hospital has inspired me to write horror fiction of my own. My work has appeared in small press magazines like THE VAMPIRE'S CRYPT. It was through my work and time in the small press that my book TWILIGHT HEALER was born. In TWILIGHT HEALER, tragedies beset Leslie, a timid, bullied respiratory therapist -- her mother's suicide, a ruined career, and numerous bloody killings near the hospital where she works. Alex, her only friend, conceals a secret -- he's a century-old vampire. Seeking escape, Leslie stumbles into Adria, an alternate universe ruled by fire, vampires, and the underworld god Hades. Alex rescues Leslie by offering her immortality. Immortality gifts Leslie with love and longed-for healing abilities, but she becomes a target for Hades's wrath. Hades plots the destruction of all vampires; flesh-eating bats serve as his spies. Leslie confronts Hades, begging him to spare her and Alex. . .and risks frying in a towering inferno. TWILIGHT HEALER is available through bn.com and amazon.com.
