About

I have been writing since I was ten years old. My first novel, The Aloria Chronicles was published in 2007. My second Novel Love Sucks was released from Punkin House Press in August of 2010. I live my life by this everyday motto: Trying isn't failing, you've failed if you haven't tried.

Story Behind The Book

This book started out as a screenplay and has evolved into so much more. Love Sucks chronicles the life of a newborn vampire from her birth in the 1700's until she awakens in the year 2010. Most importantly, it puts the readers into the main character's shoes. I wanted my readers to ask themselves: What would I do if I woke up buried in the ground, alone, not knowing who or what I had become?

We see a vampire in the modern world in a mainstream job, cooking, doing laundry and trying her best to live a happy life and finding a well deserved romance.~ Bitten by Books<br /><br />Love Sucks but the book doesn't. ~ Felicia( Bits - n - Bites of a Geeky Blogger)<br /><br />Allow Love Sucks to pull you in the way it did me, from the very beginning!~ Pamela Gold~ 2muchtestosterone<br /><br /></p>
