My personal ideal writing space is in my recliner in our den. One reason, it’s very comfortable and at the same time I can be in the same room with my husband…..he requires a lot of attention :-) and does not feel deserted when I spend ten or twelve hours on the computer because he’s sitting ten feet from me and we can carry on a conversation while I am writing.

Fortunately, I don’t have to look at the keys to type and I can type and talk at the same time while looking right at him. Multi-tasking has always been one of my most proficient abilities.

Aside from the problem of one of my five cats jumping on my keyboard and rubbing his rear-end in my face, I have all the comforts of home; my glass of wine, glance at the television if something interesting comes on.

I also like to write outside on my front porch. I can put a couple of cats on leashes and let them enjoy the sunshine and the grass instead of being cooped up in the house. They are strictly indoor cats and often, more than one of them wants attention and my lap happens to be the favored location.

Can the ultimate choice be made if saving your race means destroying the one you love?

At the beginning of the twenty-first century of our era a millennia long war between two immortal races was coming to an end. The Vampire Elite, the strongest among vampires, forced the race of immortal beings, the Amiti to become their blood suppliers, called bloodstock, locking them in their underground cells and treating them like livestock. The surviving free Amiti make a final attempt to strike back. The Queen of Amiti is proclaimed a traitor and is executed. Her death signifies the rise of a new Queen, her young daughter Arianna who becomes the last hope of her dying race. Arianna totally embraces her mission and is ready to fight for her people to the last drop of her blood but encounters an unexpected challenge—the vampire King Tor. They both are captured into a trap of love where they had to make an ultimate choice; to kill the loved one or to let their races die.

Vampire Elite is the epic story of a bitter conflict between two peoples, and the effect of that conflict on everyone living in its grip. The characters are driven to love and betrayal, vengeance and sacrifice in a world without easy black-and-white answers.

Based on an ancient Egyptian legend, packed with action and intrigue, Vampire Elite will pull you into the entrancing world of immortals and open new portals into their hidden universe.
