Where did the inspiration for this story come from?  What is the story behind the story so to speak?

I began The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter as project to create a background for another character that I was writing about. In that process, Chloe was born as a short story and then people liked it so much as a short, that I decided to keep writing.

Tell us about the book cover. How does it represent your book?  How did you choose the artwork? 

My covers are done by Paragraphic Designs. I tell her what I am envisioning and she comes back with the perfect cover. This cover is Chloe, the main character with a graveyard behind her. Graves represent the death of her mother and also vampires.

Past, future, and love all exist in the door through time.

Modern and independent seventeen year old Morgan Westbrook thought she had seen all there was to her home town of Scarlet, Georgia, but one day while walking in the woods behind her house she discovers a mysterious door masked behind the trees. After admiring the door’s timeless beauty she walks through its entrance to venture into more woods, but what she doesn’t know is that the door is a gateway through time that takes her back to the year 1863 during the days of the Civil War in Scarlet.

Without knowing that she had traveled back in time, she stumbles upon Danny Carson, an attractive young man who is appalled to see that Morgan is wearing skimpy modern clothes instead of a nineteenth century dress. Although they find each other completely different than anyone they’ve ever known, they cannot help but feel drawn to one another. After spending time in another century, she discovers that she's time traveled back to the year 1863 and that the door took her there. For months she and Danny journey back and forth through the door to experience the joys of traveling to both of their centuries. When dilemmas of unwanted marriage, slavery, and war are thrown at them, they must face the perils that time travel has delivered them in both the future and the past.

Review The Thirteen Hallows by Michael Scott & Colette Freedman

Title: The Thirteen Hallows
Authors: Michael Scott & Colette Freedman
Genre: Fantasy/Horror/Urban Fantasy
Publisher: Tor/Macmillan Audio
Release Date:Dec 6 2011
Edition: Audio

Rating:

The Hallows. Ancient artifacts imbued with a primal and deadly power. But are they protectors of this world, or the keys to its destruction?

A gruesome murder in London reveals a sinister plot to uncover a two-thousand-year-old secret.

For decades, the Keepers guarded these Hallows, keeping them safe and hidden and apart from each other. But now the Keepers are being brutally murdered, their prizes stolen, the ancient objects bathed in their blood.

Now, only a few remain.

With her dying breath, one of the Keepers convinces Sarah Miller, a practical stranger, to deliver her Hallow—a broken sword with devastating powers—to her American nephew, Owen.


The duo quickly become suspects in a series of murders as they are chased by both the police and the sadistic Dark Man and his nubile mistress.

As Sarah and Owen search for the surviving Keepers, they unravel the deadly secret the Keepers were charged to protect. The mystery leads Sarah and Owen on a cat-and-mouse chase through England and Wales, and history itself, as they discover that the sword may be the only thing standing between the world… and a horror beyond imagining.

Do you believe in coincidence or fate?  

Can you tell what is real and what is a dream?  Or are they one in the same?

Are there other Realms or just the human realm that we live in?  And if there are other Realms, what kinds of Demons exist there and why are they interested in the human realm?

I was hooked right a way to "The Thirteen Hallows".  There are 9 cd's to tell the story, and I listened to the first 7 in one sitting on my way to Denver!  In my opinion this book has a little bit of everything that makes and interesting story...Murder, mystery, history, realism, conflict, fighting and yes even some sex...

The first chapter had me begging for more.  I thought I was getting to know one of the main characters....and Bam! There are two murders right away....and it never stops...I enjoyed how the story was told getting up to the climax, and how the history of the Thirteen Hallows was explained.  I think Michael Scott and Colette Freedman did a wonderful job at mixing myths and history in the story, and tying up all the loose ends, but also leaving the story open for Owen and Sarah to have some great stories to come.

I would definitely recommend "The Thirteen Hallows" to anyone who enjoys a great and exciting story!
