Story Behind The Book

I've always had a thing for vampires. They are so damned sexy! I don't know why that is, but it just IS. I've written little stories here and there throughout my life about these creatures of the night. In this book I decided to make them my own, with my own rules and regulations for how they live- and die! I took an old story and made it fresh and new.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';color:#000000;font-size:11pt;">What would you do if you found an alien spaceship that had crashed, and the sole survivor, who is injured, and looks quite human, asks for help? That’s what happens to Willa, and she thinks it’s a simple enough thing, until she discovers that he’s a vampire from another world. From that moment on nothing seems to go as planned, and her simple world is turned upside down, as she risks everything to save her world, and her heart in this erotic thriller from Julie Achterhoff. </span></p> <span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;">I found it to be a refreshing change from the vampire stories that are out there, well thought out, with more than a few surprises. <span> <br />by Neil Leckman<br /></span></span></span></span>
