    About this ebook

    She was trapped. In a Fortress Dark with chains upon her feet. Not in her wildest dreams had Frances West imagined anything so bizarre, and deadly, as the situation she found herself in when Drakkar the Vampire abducted her from her home in England.

    But she had got in his way in Prague, and then her kitchen stove blew up, and there was the man in the middle of the road in the rainstorm when she flipped her Porsche, and after that it all got wild. Even wilder still, when she found herself in the dungeons of a crumbling Transylvanian castle, an event that sent a rescue team into action that should have at least bothered, if not scared Drakkar. But then, six hundred years earlier, this lord of the undead had been a famous soldier and nothing much frightened him.

    Creepy dungeons, wolves that are not quite wolves, saw toothed raptors from a Jurassic hell, mindless zombies, and a screaming snowstorm await Frances West. But her greatest battle rests when she confronts Drakkar. Can she resist his attempts to steal her mind, to drain her life force? Is Frances West enough to bring this monster’s reign of terror to an end?

    As for me, I now live in Toronto. I was formerly a mining engineer and travelled the world widely.Tiring of the mining industry (my unalterable conviction being that mining in 40 degrees in the shade was a vastly overrated pastime) and wanting to experience more of the world firsthand, I also worked from time to time as a docker, fruit inspector and forester. My books draw on these experiences to provide characters, backgrounds and scenes.I am the author and publisher of the "Maxim Gunn" series of action/adventure books, the second of which, "Maxim Gunn and the Demon Plan" was a finalist in the 1998 Crime Writers of Canada, Arthur Ellis Award for Best Juvenile Novel.I have also written other novels and screenplays which follow the central character to countries and places where the forces of nature as much as people provide the conflict. Three of these are currently with my agent in Los Angeles.

      Before Corrine’s husband abandoned her in Berlin, he liked to say that her name reminded him of the word “corrupt.” But ending in a twist rather than a split. Her last name was the French word for “swimsuit” but he never mentioned that. This seemed s

      Is there a more comical phrase, from the mouth of someone pushing 60, than ‘I'm an orphan now'? There may be rivals. ‘Suella Braverman,’ for example, ‘she's nice.’ Or ‘I love flying Ryanair.’ For all that, there is something so innately amusing about
