Excerpt:

My words may have been strong, but in truth, I bled inside. The need to see my son grew stronger every day. I imagined his chubby face, and his sweet smile, for I feel certain he would be smiling by now. Henry was ripped from my slashed womb to enable him to live, and as I died, I heard his cry, and rejoiced that he lived, but not once did I see his face. Matilda had whisked him away, certain that I was dead, but Robert had fed me his blood, and against all the odds, I had survived. I was certain I had survived so that my son could live his life without their depravity, for as much as I loved Robert, he lived an evil existence, and I did not intend to give my son up to his will.

Praise from Julia Gibbs (proofreader).

'Just to say that I'm still really enjoying reading this, it's such a compelling narrative that even if the reader doesn't identify with the actual nature of the vampires, she takes a keen interest in the fortunes of Gwen, she's such a sympathetic character. This is because it's a character-led narrative, and the descriptions are so richly pictorial, they bring the scenes alive.'

About the author:

Throughout her life, Charmain has wanted to become an author, but family and business commitments stood in the way and her writing consisted of a few short stories on the rare occasion that she had time to write them. In late 2012 a freak accident finally allowed time for Charmain to indulge in her passion for writing.
