Lillian Lilith Baxter wants to be a vampire, but not for the reason you might think. She doesn't care for the romance, the bloodlust, or the unending drama and darkness that comes with the territory. Lillian loves books. Books are her entire world. Books are the only thing she cares about, and in her opinion, the greatest tragedy of life is that it is far too short to have the ability to read every book she has ever wanted to. So, her goal? Immortality. So that she may read for as long as she pleases, without age taking her sight, or a disease stealing her mind as she withers into her latter years. So why a Vampire? She's seen the reports, people being attacked at night, necks bitten, almost entirely drained of blood, and she wasn't born yesterday, she knows it's not an 'animal'. That's when she meets Marcel Dulaney, in a library of all places, and he piques her interest. He meets all the criteria of a vampire. Pale, only comes out at night, never eats or drinks human food, and there's an air about him she can't explain, but she's drawn to him. She knows the signs, she's done her research, but how are you supposed to ask a stranger if they're a creature of the night, without perhaps causing offence if they aren't, or landing herself dead if they are? Or, the story about a little bookworm who just wants to live forever reading her fantastical books, and a tormented immortal who hates himself and only really starts appreciating the world a little more because of this strange girl who loves reading.

When an average high school student, Silver, meets a mysterious, mercurial guy and joins a coven of witches, she is soon sucked into a fight between ancient beings brought into the world to control the human population. She resists her intended destiny, but doesn't shy away from the witchy power she possesses or the lycanthrope monster she becomes. As a rebellious teen and street artist, Silver knew of the popular gangs that roamed the streets at night, but she didn't know their dark secret. She finds herself entangled with vampyres and lycans when her boyfriend turns out to be a vampyre and her parentage isn't as average as she thought. She didn't realize the significance of her name wasn't just because of the color of her eyes, but a plan set out by her father to involve her in the war- the war that will change the world if Romulus and Lilith get their way and the existence of their kind is exposed to the humans. This is a dark vampire/lycan/witch romance + action novel (with some magic, some sex, and a lot of blood and gore) that I started writing ten years ago when I was in high school. It started as a darker version of Twilight, but I was influenced strongly by Underworld, Teen Wolf, Bitten, Vampire Diaries, and The Secret Circle. As the first of likely three novels, this is complete (but I will probably edit a hundred more times lol) and I am currently working on the second one! The Photo I used for the cover was taken by Fogbreath in 2007. I was unable to find the photographer to ask if I could use the photo, but at least it had their name on it and I can give them credit.
