--I AM DRACULA (see previous page 2) is told in Dracula's own words. From his childhood to rulership of a nation and his initiation into the occult mysteries of Vampirism at the hands of the powerful Gypsy Witch Tzigane, this novel merges the accepted history of Vlad the Impaler with the hidden history of how he became Dracula the Vampire and his struggles against both Heaven and Hell.
--I AM FRANKENSTEIN has Frankenstein (a cobbler's son, not an aristocrat) and his Creation (a reincarnated Viking) telling what REALLY happened, with a little help from a modern woman sent back to Frankenstein's time by the manipulations of space aliens, the Gypsy Vampire-Witch Tzigane (Dracula's mate in both CRIMSON KISSES and I AM DRACULA), and the Scandinavian Goddess Skadi.
--FIEND follows the immortal Witch from Greek Myths, MEDEA, in her search for the man who centuries ago killed her children and framed her for the crime, even as she protects modern children from violent adults and punishes the child abusers she catches.
--BURIED SCREAMS takes place in a small town where a being from beyond our world uses the buried childhood fears of the town's inhabitants to escape from its centuries' old prison beneath the Earth.
--RAW PAIN MAX asks, "What if you discovered you had been a monster (the mass murderess Erzebet Bathory) in a former life, and Something wanted you to become one again?"
--TORTURE TOMB is a grim contemporary novel about the physical and spiritual evil of men entertained by violence against women, and a group of feminist Witches who fight to stop them.
--THE LAIR OF ANCIENT DREAMS, written under the pen name of Asa Drake, cowritten with Nina Romberg, is a Lovecraftian tale that has an ancient Sumerian Goddess, long ago transformed into the Demoness Lamashtu, seeking revenge from atop the Matterhorn during the dark days of the European Inquisition.
--CRIMSON KISSES is an early version of I AM DRACULA, also cowritten as "Asa Drake" with Nina Romberg, but from a third person viewpoint. Ms. Romberg is the author of the aclaimed dark suspense novels featuring Comanche-Caddo Medicine Woman Miriam Winchester, THE SPIRIT STALKER and SHADOW WALKERS. She also writes as JANE ARCHER (see link below).
