Revenge of the Vampir King Thrones of Blood Book 1 by Nancy Kilpatrick Genre: Adult Dark Fantasy, Paranormal Romance

Vampires and humans are at war! Moarte, King of the Vampirii, is a prisoner of his Sapiens enemy. The beautiful Sapiens Princess Valada, believing that Moarte killed her mother, tortures him, even to the point of breaking the bones in his wings so he cannot escape. She intends to incinerate him to ash in sunlight, but Moarte escapes. Moarte hungers for revenge. When, through an act of betrayal, Valada is captured by the vampirii, his first instinct is to drain her blood and annihilate her. But he realizes he can get revenge in other ways, using her as a tool to gain the upper hand in this conflict. But who is manipulating whom? Both want revenge, and control of the other, and Moarte wants to drink Valada’s blood. Dark desires lead down a path neither had envisioned, a threatening spiral that can destroy empires. Hunter and hunted change places again and again in this novel of twisted, violent passions. Seeds of deception are sown amidst love and hate, loyalty and betrayal, obsession and indifference, in an erotic tale of warring races, foes since the beginning of time, and two unlikely adversaries aligning to battle a common enemy. “Nancy Kilpatrick infuses her vampires with the hot blood of life and erotic passion.

Part human, part vampir, the beautiful, stubborn, angry young Princess Serene is a tormented hybrid, her days and nights controlled by her overprotective parents. When they suddenly insist on an arranged marriage, visions of a grim future in a loveless pairing with the cold and dominating Wolfsbane drive Princess Serene into a desperate escape. But instead of freedom, the young naive Princess rushes headlong into the clutches of a human demon whose cruelty and violence threaten to destroy her and her world. The entire vampirii nation is helpless to rescue her, and war becomes a certainty. Rebellion will lead to many deaths, including those she loves. But to endure brutality until she can escape might be beyond her abilities. Ultimately, Wolfsbane, her detested bridegroom, is the one holding the key to save her, if he can. And more, can she be saved? *** “Nancy Kilpatrick inhabits that shadow land of sensuality between terror and pleasure; she can be creepy, seductive, bleak, exquisite and terrifying—often all at once. She knows the intricacies of human minds and bodies at war with themselves, and her stories bring you into those battles in ways that make you think you’ve actually been there because maybe you have.” —Thomas Roche, author of The Panama Laugh and editor of the Noirotica series “Nancy Kilpatrick’s vampires have a distinctive bite all their own.” —Nancy A. Collins, author of Sunglasses After Dark and In the Blood “Kilpatrick is the pony express of horror. She’s fast and furious and she always delivers.” —Brian Lumley, author of the Necroscope series “I loved Book 1 but I will admit that I loved Book 2 even more. The characters were comfortably familiar but the threat level has been escalated to nail-biting proportions. I devoured the book quickly; it was difficult to put down, but I am used to this when in the hands of a skilled author like Kilpatrick. She truly is a “vampire queen”: a real specialist at telling vampire tales in new and engaging ways.” —Elaine Pascal, reviewer The Horror ReviewGoodreads * Amazon

Savagery of the Rebel King Thrones of Blood Book 4

Necros, the most rebellious of the vampir kings, has carried a burning hatred for the one who forced him into this undead existence centuries ago. Abused, betrayed, cheated, he trusts none of any species, especially Guin, a dethroned mortal queen who appears out of nowhere and feeds his paranoia, and his darkest fantasies. At best she attempts to control him, at worst she tries to kill him. For some reason he does not understand, Necros is compelled to let her live. But he believes she is manipulative, and a liar; Guin sees him as brutal, stubborn, impossible! Encounters turn ugly as violence, bitterness and haunting memories drive both of them. Guin has her own agendas, and the more she struggles to actualize them, the further away her goals recede. A few vampirii endeavor to build a bridge between the two combatants, but others with sinister plans are bent on hindering a truce. This downward-spiralling dynamic reels towards a dire conclusion that neither Necros nor Guin seem able to halt. Savagery of the Rebel King—Vol 4 in the exciting Thrones of Blood series—is a fast-paced rollercoaster ride in a plot that twists and turns and threatens to spin out of control.

Revenge of the Vampir King—Vol 1
Thrones of Blood series
by Nancy Kilpatrick

“King Moarte,” Wolfsbane said, “the Sapiens ruler offered you his
daughter in marriage to save his Kingdom, to bind our realm to his,
but really to save himself.”
“Liar!” the black-haired mortal screamed through the bars where
her wrists were bound on either side of her. “My father would never
agree to such a deal. You’re despicable, all of you vile, dead
things!”
Her dark eyes shot a fiery malevolence towards Wolfsbane, and her
teeth gnashed together twice as if she would bit through the wooden
doweling and disembowel him. But Wolfsbane was not watching her. He,
like everyone else in the room, was watching the King of the Vampirii.
Moarte rose dangerously slowly, like the predator he knew himself
to be. A predator fixated on prey. His eyes were glued to the all-too-
familiar face of the Sapiens Princess Valada.
Despite all the torture her father had ordered, she was the one
who tried to murder Moarte. Ironically, her violence provided him with
the intense motivation necessary to find a means to escape that realm
and make his way home. It took nearly a moon’s cycle to walk over the
high mountain because he could not fly and his body was severely
damaged. With little food but for the blood of the small earth-bound
creatures he could catch, starvation kept him from recovering. He
finally reached the vampirii stronghold near death, a state requiring
many months to reverse.
And now, before him, was one of his two enemies; it was a dream
come true.

Detour to Paradise by River Ames Genre: Sweet Contemporary Romance

Lucas Rockworth—a hard-driving force of nature has been ordered by his doctor to take some time off and get his blood pressure under control. You would think buying a cabin in the natural splendor known as Gray Horse Lake, Idaho, would do the trick. All that mountain greenery, crystal blue lakes and rivers, and nature-run-amok had to be exactly what the doctor had ordered.

Lucas tells himself that, since he makes his living as a general contractor, he has the hands-on experience to make himself into anything Miss Sarah Burke is looking for. It shouldn’t be that great a stretch to become a modern, sensitive kind of guy, should it? She wants Mr. Rogers… Well, darn, he can manage that for the short time he’s in Idaho. How hard can it be to tame his darker, more cynical side? As for Sarah Burke? She thinks she’s met a real life version of Mr. Rogers. But, the reader knows its Rambo who’s come a’courting. Would the real Lucas Rockworth care to step forward? Goodreads * Amazon

River Ames spent the first eighteen years of her life in Southern California. Here is a partial list of some of the cities in which she lived: Pasadena, South Pasadena, Duarte, El Monte, Arcadia La Puente, Lomita, West Covina, Pacifica, Santa Monica, Palmdale, and Hacienda Heights. In some of those cities, she lived at six different addresses. In the city of La Puente, River’s family lived in four different houses on the same street. The non-glamorous reason for all the moves was habitual eviction necessitated for non-payment of rent. It was an interesting way to grow up. River attended twenty-six different elementary schools, two different junior high schools and four different high schools. In one elementary school, she was a student for only three days. Perhaps, because she was so frequently identified as the “new girl,” the pattern of River being an observer instead of a participant in the interactions going on around her seemed a logical fit for her personality. When she was thirteen, River read “Gone with the Wind.” She skipped three days of school in order to finish the book in one sitting. Disappointed in Rhett for “not giving a damn,” River wrote her own sequel–in long hand, on three-hole punch, notebook paper. The opening line? “Tomorrow dawned bright and fair.” In less than fifty pages, Scarlett had been transformed into Jane Eyre and Rhett had fallen in love with her all over again. After Southern California, River has spent the next part of her life living in the semi-rural town of Idaho Falls, Idaho. She is a graduate of Idaho State University, majoring in Health Education Sciences and Addiction Counseling. She’s worked the past ten years at a Behavioral Health Center where she assisted children, teenagers, and adults committed in a 24/7 secured facility because of mental health challenges they are experiencing. River’s books celebrate the good-natured humor that lays at the heart of most of our human predicaments. The conflicts are significant, yet it is her characters and their quirky (yet somehow universally relatable) thoughts, words, and choices that reflect a light-hearted peek into a world we wish was real. The amazing thing is that these worlds are real to readers for the time they visit there. Readers have said: “In a River Ames book, one minute I’m laughing out loud, and the next I have a lump in my throat.” River is currently readying a historical novel, “Gideon’s Justice.” This three-part novel is Book I in a three volume western series set in the Colorado Territory.
