    About this series

    A 29,000 word novella, Young Blood is the third story in the An Accidental Vampire series based on a character from the novel
    Blood Justice.

    In 1648 France, the young blood vampire Simone Gireaux, a farmer's widow, wants only to quietly learn to live among mortals. But, by witnessing the murder of a Duchesse before she reaches the mountain town of Noir Montagne, she finds her learning curve quicker and more dangerous than she was prepared for.
    Partnering with Jacques Fashette, the Duke's vampire security chief, surviving assassination attempts, and sword fight which she is woefully ill prepared for, she comes to know that the aristocracy is no stranger to love, betrayal, and murder. In the final confrontation truth leads to tragedy as well as prosperity.

      In 1650 Simone Gireaux was a widower living with her late husband's family. Then the Marauders descended on the town. She woke the next day, her village destroyed, her family dead. And the sun burning her skin. She had no one to teach her how to be a vampire. Yet she persevered and survived to live in California and meet Justine Kroft in my novel Blood Justice. An Accidental Vampire is the first chapter in her odyssey.

Le Taureau urges her to join him and his Drake Family. She is Vampire and they of the settlement are but mortals. But a marauding band of vampires destroyed her village, murdered her family and friends, and left her for dead.
