In THE HOST -- Investigative reporter Jane Weston has a problem. Where ever she goes the undead follow. They cost her several well-paying, high profile jobs in metropolitan areas, but she was sure that she would escape them when she took a job at WGBN in Jones Port, Arkansas. No such luck! It seems these blood sucking night dwellers will follow their "host" to the end of the civilized world -- and beyond.

Tracy Cohen is the closeted lesbian Rabbi of the small Jewish congregation in Jones Port. Tracy lost a lover to gang violence in New York, and was rejected by her orthodox family because of her sexual orientation. Tracy's life has never been easy, but nothing has prepared her to do battle with the undead in the streets of Jones Port for the soul of an investigative reporter.

Review:

Tired of "sympathetic" vampires and whimpy "heros"? Then this is the series for you! Two of the themes that dominate THE HOST are "Vampires are real, and they're not nice," and "Good isn't stupid." You will cheer every time the good guys win, and feel nothing but relief when the vampires "die."

A real page-turner, you won't want to put it down till the end, and you'll want more. Fortunately, book #2 is available! Look for FRIGHT EATER, the second book in the series. -- Publisher Comments
