    Reviews of Beside the Darker Shore



    The Paranormal Romance Guild     gives a five-star review: “The characters were wonderful, there were secrets, lies, betrayal and surprises. Reading this book was a view of what happens to an honest and devoted man who loves someone who can only bring him down.”

    TTC Books gives four purrs: “This is a fabulous vampire story. You have the darkness, they are evil, yet you can’t help fall for them….If you like dark story, great world building, dark vampires, twists and a gripping heart wrenching story this is for you.”

    GLBT Bookshelf gives five stars: “I found the book irresistible; it’s for the reader who likes a cross between the techno-thriller and hunt/chase story….The science is very credible – one of the facets of the book that makes it so different. The setting switches from Boston to the Potes region of Spain (Bay of Biscay coast, in the north), and back to Boston, and we get a close-up look not only at the vampire community that’s trying to make a place for itself alongside humankind, but also at the ancient European community that’s all about blood and the willingness of humans to succumb to addiction and self-destruction.”

    Beside the Darker Shore

    What might the ethical Governor David Gedden give up for one man’s exquisite beauty? It’s terrifying to consider when the man is a destructive blood prostitute and David is responsible for the state’s peaceful vampire community. Blood sales in Boston are up, blood taxes support a thriving new nightlife, neighborhoods have been refurbished, and deaths by vampires have plummeted. David is assured reelection.

    However, the blood addict Stephen Salando has returned from exile with one unalterable plan: to turn the good governor into a vampire. Stephen is an immortal dhampir, whose beauty obliterates reason, who rouses in David a fierce desire he’s ignored his whole life. But for David to have Stephen, he must ally with an ancient vampire, the community’s seductive archnemesis. To have him, he must become a killer himself.

    Will David hold on to his ethical public life? Or will he follow what he most desires, a kiss with a killer to become a vampire himself?
