loop of review quotes

How can you know if you'll enjoy The Vampires of New England Series? If you're like me, you want fiction that makes you think. My favorite vampire authors include Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Susan Hubbard, P.N. Elrod, Deborah Harkness and Tim Powers. I've also read Anne Rice and Stephenie Meyer (my favorite character in the Twilight Saga is Dr. Carlisle Cullen, who would get along very well with the vampires in my books). I'm a fan of the original Barnabas Collins and Dark Shadows and I crusaded to keep Forever Knight on the air in 1996. If all of this resonates with you...if you never miss Vampire Diaries and True Blood and are thirsting for more...if my kind of vampires are your kind of vampires...then you will probably like The Vampires of New England!

Vampires, the Fair Folk and a four-century-old magical order...the history of the Twentieth Century may be much stranger than you think.

Suppose that vampires were real—not ravening monsters, but former humans who need companionship and love, adapt to change, hold down jobs, and try to live as ethical members of society?
...suppose they lived next door to you?

Suppose there was a secret society of magic workers with centers in cities around America and the world, and they knew how to use powers you don't even believe exist?
...suppose they used those powers to manipulate history?

Suppose there really were such things as the Fair Folk—not cute butterfly winged sprites but beings of vast power, without human scruples, who could do almost anything they wanted?
...suppose they were watching you, right now?

Suppose I'm not making any of this up? (Or a lot less of it than you'll think.)

Welcome to my world, the world of the Vampires of New England. This non-chronological and open-ended series is based on my personal experiences, but my readers will have to guess where reality leaves off and fantasy starts. In this world, vampires have no fangs, but can make you stop and start bleeding by touching you; some of them have some surprising powers. They're friendly enough, but they'll fiercely protect those whom they care about. There are only a few of them, independent and free, with no vampire hierarchy enforcing laws. When they get into trouble, they help each other, but sometimes that isn't enough.

Jonathan was born Edward Tillinger in 1872 Rhode Island, and when he hears about Regan from her close friend Veronica Standish, he's immediately fascinated with her. This will become a problem...
