A Choice She Did Not Make...

Manon is bestowed the title, Queen of the Immortals, at the behest of the original Vampire Queen from her death bed. Now she is ruler and in an official position to override the IVC but she has never been unhappier in her life thanks to the mysterious circumstances regarding Mikkel's disappearance.

A Precarious Position...

Emmerik is one of the most important people in Manon's life but with the vampire world in turmoil, a deadly virus set loose among the supernatural community and jealous between various ranks of the IVC, she is forced to forge as many alliances as possible to prevent a coup.

A Relationship Tested...

Manon knows how important Emmerik is in her life but it takes the surfacing of a vampire much older than her to cement their relationship. They both find themselves in precarious positions as a couple and as individuals when Mikkel betrays her in the most malicious way. Boundaries will be tested and decisions that could destroy a whole species of supernaturals must be made and it will test her resolve not only as a vampire but as Queen of the Immortals.

Happy New Year! Giveaway 1 Autographed copy of TLOK

The Legacy of Kilkenny

book one

by Devyn Dawson

    People ask me all the time about where I got the idea for TLOK.  I knew I wanted to write a book about family and friends, but I needed teenagers to read it.  Yes, the story is about werewolves, and no they aren't like Twilight.  I have absolutely no problem with Twilight's werewolves, I mean seriously who doesn't love them some Jacob, right?  My werewolves have more to worry about than a damsel in distress, that happens to be in love with a vampire and a werewolf.  TLOK is about friendship, and how far will we go to protect a friend?  How far will we go to stand up for what we believe in?  How in touch with our humanity are we really, and what would we do to make sure we stayed in touch with it? 

      My two main characters, Abel Casey and Pru Phelan are beautiful as you can see on the cover of the book.  Abel obviously has a crush on the princess of the pack Pru, but she has her eyes on her bodyguard Oakley.  Abel is a gentleman about his feelings, and realizes that if he is indeed the Great Wolf, he must stay focused.  What is a werewolf story without a vampire?  Arien, he is a perfect male specimen, minus the fact he is an obnoxious vampire that needles Pru at every chance he gets. Now we get back to the question about why I chose this subject, the answer is, they are interesting.  You have the hierarchy within the pack, as well as the lower ranked members, but all together they form a well defined pack.  Isn't that what happens in a family?  Isn't that what teenagers deal with in both their friendships and their family?  Of course they aren't werewolves and vampires, but they have the same rankings.  

    That was a long answer to a short question.  I guess you'll think twice about asking me anything.  I look forward to your comments and I hope to make a lot of new friends.  

    I have some more exciting news, my book Malevolence Book Two, will be out in Jan 2012.  I'm so excited - more info to come soon!

Teaser Tuesday Post

"This is the story of how as a girl of sixteen I went in search of my father and his past, and of how he went in search of his beloved mentor and his mentor's own history, and of how we all found ourselves on one of the darkest pathways into history.  It is the story of who survived that search and who did not, and why.  As a historian, I have learned that, in fact, not everyone who reaches back into history can survive it."

I'm a complete and utter vampire t.v. whore.... and I'm totally jonesing for some Eric.  I can not wait for True Blood to come back on.  I hope they give it more Sookie and Eric time.... I really do like all things supernatural. I've had a thing for vampires since I was a little girl.  My mom would be in the living room late at night and I'd sneak in the room to peek over the back of the couch to see what vampire show was on.  I'd run to my room and make sure the windows were locked so one couldn't come in and get me.  They were and are fascinating to me but I didn't want to get bit by one.  That is true up until The Lost Boys came out and it wouldn't be too bad to be a vamp. I still love the glamour of a beautiful vampire - even if he sparkles... although that is a little odd I can accept his disability.  I love Damon and Stephen.  I can deal with vampire Bill and swoon over Eric.  

The question is.... why did I make the star of my book series werewolves?  Very good question, I've never liked werewolves.  I've always thought they were ugly and mean until I realized they are coming from my head... and I can make them however I want.  So I did.

I hope you take the time to write what you want... not what others expect from you. Trying to please everyone was the largest obstacle I had to overcome.  I finally sat back and wrote what I wanted...  

I hope you write what makes you happy.
