More About the Author:
I grew up in a small northern Minnesotan town
married my high school sweetheart, had two beautiful children and as soon as we
could we moved to a warmer climate. I have worked with my husband building and
decorating custom homes for years. After loving every kind of vampire book,
movie and series I decided that I wanted to know more. I can write a book I
thought, how hard can that be? Well.... But I stuck to it and finished my first
book Royal Blood Chronicles Book One in August 2009. I now have six books in
the series and am about to release book two of my new series Phantom
Lives. My parents always told me that I
could do anything that I wanted, work hard, study and do it right. I believe
that and live that way every day.
I started writing this new vampire series for teens and their moms because I
myself wanted something different to read. I was tired of all the modern
versions of vampire books, there had to be more to these long lived beings.
Where had they been what had they seen? I wanted, no I NEEDED to know more so
Royal Blood Chronicles was born! As in
Royal Blood Chronicles, Phantom Lives features strong female characters and
action and adventure mixed with romance, friendship and a historical backdrop.
Katrina: The Beginning
By
Elizabeth Loraine
Blurb
As a Vampire being
hunted was nothing new. Finding out that I had to save those that were hunting
us was!
Katrina, a young royal blooded vampire, chronicles her life from the age of
seventeen beginning in the 1800's forward in the series Royal Blood Chronicles.
Katrina is thrust into something she never could have imagined growing up in
the aristocracy of Europe. Once the fashion of
the day, and girlish gossip filled Katrina and her new friends days, but their
lives changed the instant their race was threatened and they were chosen as the
Five, and the protectors of not only the vampire race, but all the peaceful
races of the world!
If you are looking for a new, exciting vampire series, with strong female
characters you've found it in Royal Blood Chronicles. It starts here with
Katrina, The Beginning!
