Died By Blood, Born By Blood

Solena Wilshire's memoir takes us from the fifth century to the twenty-first, and we're in northern England, Greece, Egypt, Boston, New York-there's even a character who shows up from Minnesota!

Between sundown and sunrise you learn about vampire customs, interactions with humans, relations between themselves-romantic, familial, strategic.

If you as a human live in fear of vampires, Solena reassures you that the only thing vampires want is to live worthwhile lives­-they are not out to kill you. But they are on guard against vampire hunters.

Kelly Carlson lives with her husband, Adam Ploof, in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where she makes jewelry, bakes, and ... writes. This is her first book.
