A popular teen is bitten by a vampire during a steamy night of making out with her boyfriend. After the bite, she wakes up in a cruel orphanage in Vampire World, with no memory of her past. She’s left with very little; only fangs, pale skin and a keen desire for blood.
Marissa, who’s named Janice in Vampire World, escapes the ghastly orphanage thanks to Mr. John FreeCut, an old, benevolent vampire who adopts Janice because he wants to foster children he could never have. He says her parents died in a crash. Beautiful, innocent and thrust into an enigmatic world she has no memory of, Janice must face many challenges. The grueling blood hostess job. The multiple stalkers and creepers who are hungry for her and her blood. The dizzying fireball competition. And most challenging, the fact that she doesn’t look or act like a vampire.
Janice is emotionally overwhelmed. Thankfully she makes some friends, including Brett BloodCut. Brett and Janice are immersed in a passionate romance, and Brett helps Janice adjust to her new world by giving her the love, confidence and knowledge she needs to survive as a vampire. Janice finds a way to succeed in such a problematic world. Things go well for Janice, though not for long. A stranger knows the truth about her past.
Slowly but surely Janice discovers the truth that she is being lied to by the ones she loves. She must learn the secret behind TriFang, and ultimately accept the stinging reality that things are not always what they seem. Could the truth ever be so bloody?
Excerpt:
4: 30 P.M
Driving around in my father’s silver Camaro on the way home from school, I pull into a Seven Eleven. Inside, I grab a Twinkie and the latest edition of Cosmo. While I wait in the checkout line, behind me a stinky old man with a jungle-like beard is staring right at my chest. Gosh, he’s a creeper. I make my way to the cashier as I can still smell his reeking breath.
Outside, I read the headlines of a newspaper in a rusty dispenser: “12 missing in two weeks: Centerville on Alert.”
I don’t get the chance to care much about the news. But this is disturbing. Suddenly a shadow overtakes me. Turning around, I go eye to eye with the creepy man in the line.
“You better stay home tonight sweetheart,” he says. “Stay home if you want to live.”
I back up a few steps.
“Who are you?” I yell. “Get away from me!”

I jump into the car and start the engine. And I don’t look back.
My new novel, Vampire World, is now available. If you enjoy reading paranormal YA fiction, please check this out now.
The Magical Tale of Eliza Felding, Book 1 of a trilogy, takes place in New Orleans one year after Hurricane Katrina. It involves teens, romance and tons of magic.
The Secret of the Dogs is a children's book about four very different dogs (a Basenji, a Greyhound, a Pomeranian and an Airdale Terrier) who go on a quest to rescue a young boy that is being abused by his father.
I love writing, teaching, storm chasing, traveling and drinking orange soda.
My Review:
Vampire World kept me interested from it's unit of time to it crazy hair-dos. Waking up in a strange world where you are told you have always lived but not remember anything about it would be scary for anyone. I did get confused at times with all of the names and foods in Vampire World. The ideas were good but at times seemed to jump. That is how I feel about it. Other than that, I really enjoyed the concept of living in a world full of vampires with glow in the dark tattoos and piercings.
