This is a guest-posted review by Bonnie Erina Wheeler.

*****
As you all know, I am a fan of YA novels. I am also a fan of vampire novels. Between my two loves, I had thought I had experienced the majority of what the genre could provide me, until I discovered independent author, Elizabeth Loraine!

In this delightful novel, based in the 1800s, we discover the amazing Katrina - a seventeen-year-old sword yielding, independent, compassionate, fascinating heroine who happens to be a vampire. But, don't get me wrong, she is not your everyday blood sucking variety! She has an amazing destiny to fulfill as one of the five and the watchers will help her see to it!

I don't believe in giving spoilers, but let me promise you this....If you like STRONG heroines who know how to fight for what they believe in as much as they love passionately, you will adore this novel. Also - although technically a YA genre novel, all you moms like me out there will sink into Loraine's dreamy world and enjoy the escape it provides. Full of beautifully written prose, this novel has a great narrative drive and you will fly through it.

Did I mention this is the first in the series??? Oh, go ahead and buy the others while you have the chance, you will want to read straight through.

This is an author you don't want to miss out on and if all becomes fair in the world, an agent will sweep her up and she will be published by Random house or one of the other big publishing companies.

I will be reading more from this author!

So, where can you get this amazing read? How about on Amazon here!

In this new world of books made possible by the Internet, no one is left to guard the door. To tell the reader what is what. This state of affairs may introduce an element of confusion for dogmatic readers, but the good news is, new breeds of literature are being created. Self-publishing allows literature to cross over in new ways. Traditional Christian fiction publishers, for instance, disallow most references to sex, and even the most juvenile profanity. Self-publishing changes this. Not to suggest a writer should ever debase a genre—as writers we are obliged to choose our words carefully. But the old Christian book

Marketing, Or How I Proved the Existence of Hell. Self-publishing requires either A) no skills and being totally deluded as to the reality of success in the book market, or B) no skills and the reality you’re going to have to learn a lot. And that’s a simple fact. Between writing, editing, formatting, choosing a printer, choosing retailers, web development, content generation, typesetting, book trailers and the fifty other things I’m forgetting, you’re certain to encounter a challenge for which you are in no way prepared, and not only are you not prepared, your desire to become prepared hovers somewhere near the axis of zero. I discovered mine on January 11, 2012--Marketing. Marketing’s an entirely deceptive term. W

The Strong Female I am always amazed to hear that, in the year 2012, women are still talking about strong female characters. It’s funny that we’re always surprised when one comes along. Even in Hollywood, actresses still can’t find roles to sink their teeth into. As a reader, I look for characters that I can relate to in some way; a character who is more than a damsel in distress but less than an unfeeling, mean, witch. I’m putting it gently, but I’m looking for someone, who when facing a problem, doesn’t necessarily need a man to bail her out--a woman who can take care of herself in spite of her vulnerabilities. Because in reality, women are multi-layered and complex. We don’t fall to one end of an extreme o
