Four members of The Vampire Guard—Forge, Blair, Declan, and Lucas—face a dangerous and elusive enemy. And this time, it’s personal.
When massive tech outages impact everything from Wi-Fi to traffic control, Blair, Forge, Declan, and Lucas think it’s a simple matter of catching troublesome hackers. But they quickly realize far more is at stake.
Millions of dollars in art are the target of a thief who’s not afraid to kill—and he’s no stranger. Not only has he escaped capture, twice, a decade ago, but he’s had a hand in life-altering tragedies throughout their lifetimes.
Once it becomes clear that art theft is just a fraction of his plan for mass destruction, they realize time is running out. The clock’s ticking. Catastrophe is imminent. Can they find and disarm all the bombs in time or will countless lives be lost?

When Kai Richter and Ori Bier met, sparks flew.
Then a train blew up.
Tracking an organism deadly to not only humans, but vampires and werewolves alike, brings Kai and Ori into The Vampire Guard. Decades later, they, along with Operative Team Jack Rabbit, come face to face with the horrors that same virus produces. Dead bodies are coming back to life, and rational people are becoming violent and brutal killers.
A massacre is taking place nearly a mile under the Atlantic Ocean. Two teams of The Vampire Guard are in the thick of it, fighting to survive.
Excerpt from Endosymbiont
Bovingdon, England 1942
Forge stopped outside the officer’s mess long enough to return the salutes from a small group of enlisted men who were really nothing but boys. When one broke off from the group to open the door, Forge waved him off and said, “As you were, gents.”
He nodded politely to several British officers at the bar. He knew many of the British soldiers didn’t care for Americans and he was determined to be the exception to their rule. Declan, or rather Canadian Brigadier Del Markus, sat at a table in the middle of the room. Forge was sure Declan would rather be a general but hadn’t been able to steal a uniform that fit properly. Forge preferred a more modest rank, so his uniform carried captain’s bars.
Forge pulled out the chair opposite Declan, turned it and sat straddling it. “I think I figured out what Docktor Sauer was up to.” His words came out in a rush.
“Are you still trying to piece that together? Jonas, it’s been almost two years. You need to put that behind…” Declan’s words were cut off when Jonas slapped a thin, paper book onto the table between them.
Declan looked down, arching an eyebrow. He picked the book up and leafed through it before setting it down. “The art is different, but very good and I do enjoy this man punching Hitler in the face, but I don’t think Sauer’s goal was to punch him. Where did you get this?”
“Some of the American airmen brought a few of these over with them.” He snatched the comic and flipped through the pages. Turning the book so Declan could see it, and spreading it on the table again, he tapped at one page. “No, but I think he was trying to create a super-soldier, like Captain America.”
Declan sighed and sat back, draping one arm over the back of his chair. “Oh, Jonas come on. That’s a story, folly, not scientific.”
“A hundred years ago the submarines and planes in the books of Jules Verne were considered pure fantasy. Correct me if I’m wrong, but today they’re very real and we’ve both been in an airplane.”
“Are you suggesting that the authors are involved somehow?” Declan asked.
“No. I don’t know. But think about it. We’ve heard the rumors about Hitler’s medical experiments. The likelihood of him being ignorant of vampires is small.”
Declan nodded. “Agreed.”
“How many vampires do you think are on this base, a quarter of the men?”
“Maybe less.” Declan said.
“And how many do you think were born to the society they fight for?”
“Given how long vampires can live and how often they move, even less,” Declan said.
“You are a perfect example. Born in France, yet you wear a Canadian uniform and have fought with the United States,” Jonas said. “Never with France.”
“I think I see where you’re going. Vampires are a type of super-soldier.”
“Sauer was obsessed with vampires,” Forge pointed out. “What if his goal were to create a way to enable large numbers of men to be changed? Ones who’d be more inclined to be loyal to their country?”
“Have you seen him?”
Forge shook his head. “No. To track him down we’d have to go back to Germany.”
“Which neither of us is really equipped to do. We won’t fit in well enough now.” Declan picked up the book and paged through it again. “The Allies have people who are qualified. We need to get messages to our contacts.”
“Agreed.” Forge grinned. “That we can do, and you can convince anyone to do anything.”

“You had a first printing of Captain America? And read it?” Blair sputtered. “You, who has repeatedly dissed my graphic novels?”
Lucas blew out a breath and turned to Blair. “That’s what your takeaway was?”
Blair scowled, rolled his eyes, and shrugged.
“I should’ve known that would come back to bite me in the ass someday.” Jonas held up one finger. “One! I read one.”
Declan laughed. “And I was here to witness your ass being bitten.”
“He’s got a good idea,” Lucas continued. “Many scientific discoveries have been the result of someone trying to create something else.”
“What happened? Did you get the information passed along?” Ori asked.
“Yes, but it wasn’t too long after that we were forced to leave Europe. We’d toured several times in the decades between the World Wars and Henri de Fleur here,” Jonas patted Declan’s shoulder, “was recognized too many times. We hung around long enough to assist with smuggling some art out of France before the Germans destroyed it.”
“Then we joined the United States Navy,” Declan added.

She has a real love for a good mystery complete with murder and twisty plots as well as all things sci-fi, futuristic, and supernatural.

She has three grown children and now happily shares her little, brick house with two spunky Cardigan Welsh Corgis and their feline sidekicks. Elizabeth is a fan of baseball, basketball (go Cavs and Cleveland Baseball) and gardening. She can often be found working in her ‘outside office’ listening to classic rock and plotter her next novel waiting for it to be dark enough to gaze at the stars.

Jewel Cave was a runner-up in the Gay Mystery/Thriller category in the 2015 Rainbow Awards. Ringed Love was a winner in the Gay Fantasy Romance category of the 2016 Rainbow Awards.
