A writer and artist with a degree in Theology and education in foreign and classical languages, she has always been intrigued with supernatural, paranormal and horror fiction and how these myths try to answer humankind's questions about the spiritual, good vs. evil and the nature of man.

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.

<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#c00000;font-size:9pt;"><strong>Some praise for On the Soul of a Vampire:<br /><br /></strong></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:9pt;">&quot;Rarely do I pick up a &quot;vampire novel&quot; and find something new, and with On the Soul of a Vampire, this is exactly what happened...  Read it, believe it, experience the life of a vampire like you never have before. &quot;<br /><br />&quot;On the Soul of a Vampire is a heartrending, surprisingly enlightening tale.   ...As such, it stands as a solid, welcome counterbalance to the overhyped vampiric fluff currently celebrated all throughout pop culture. An enriching, thoroughly rewarding read.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;On the Soul of a Vampire is a chalice of spirited crimson to savor across the palate... a refreshing bite out of the undead lore.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Thought provoking, stylish and intensely emotional...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;On the Soul of a Vampire is a beautifully written novel from start to finish with poetic prose...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;I have read many vampire books--from teens lusting after vamps to the original &quot;vamp in bat form visiting the lovely damsel in the dark of night&quot;--but none has impressed me like this one...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;...wait until you find out what the author has in store for you! Her well thought and intricately planned ideas are fresh and exciting.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Love the unlovable, forgive the unforgivable... this novel has the distinct and original voice of a fine new writer. Keep your eye on Krisi Keley as you will be hearing from her again...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;To find an apt comparison, I had to go back to the vampires of my young adult years, Louis and Lestat. This author succeeds much as Anne Rice did, in providing us with complex characters who struggle with concerns ranging from the mundane to the spiritual. I don't think I have read a book since then that so deftly interweaves the supernatural with questions of faith.&quot;<br /><br /></span>
