What you are about to listen to is a journey into darkness, an awakening. I originally wrote each book separately, because I wrote them as they were experienced. I know that may be hard to understand, because this is a work of fiction, right? Well, although this is a work of fiction, my own personal path lead me to research more and more on the subject of mortal vampyrism. And this lead me to awaken to new facts, new peoples, and a whole new world.

Without getting into too much personal detail, I will tell you there are entire worlds existing within our world that most people never delve into. Some of these are scary and some not so scary. But these worlds contain different unique and fascinating people and some of these same people are part of our everyday lives. They are doctors, lawyers, and even the man who bags your groceries at the supermarket. They appear professional and shall we say “normal”, but have hidden secrets, dark desires, and buried personalities.

While writing, I have been lucky enough to explore these worlds. Lydia helped me through this. She grew as I grew. Then she became what she became.

What follows is all three books in their entirety. I was but a fledgling writer when they were written. As I read them, I realize I could have written them better, or “polished” them. But they are now audiobooks as well, so in an effort to keep things original and “the same”, I left them as they were written.   

I hope you enjoy my “tale” of blood and lust as you sit in your bed curled up with your book and listen while you are lost in another part of a very close and socially distanced universe. For me, it was truly a labor of love, and I hope you enjoy this labor of love, this journey, as much as I did.
