**30th Anniversary Edition**
Blood Secrets
A Vampire Legacy Novel #1
by Karen E. Taylor
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Horror 

The only vampire left alive?

Deirdre Griffin spent over a century searching for others of her kind. Now after the last ten years in New York City, she’s almost given up hope. Until people she’s fed on start to turn up dead, drained of all their blood. The murder scenes are cleverly staged to implicate Deirdre and her once uncomplicated life soon becomes difficult. Who is doing the killing? And what should she do about detective Mitch Greer, who keeps chipping away at the secrets that protect her life? Feed on him? Kill him? Or the most dangerous choice of all -- fall in love?
For the first time in her unnatural life, Deirdre finds herself trapped between love and hate, betrayal and revenge. She must prove her innocence and find the real murderer or pay the ultimate price: her death.

Author's Note: This book is a reissue of the original novel BLOOD SECRETS. It is not a new novel.

​After the kiss, I buried my face in his neck. Now, I thought as I heard the blood pulse in his veins, Oh, please, now.
I nipped him at first, savoring the moment, my low moans echoed by his. Then when my teeth grew longer and sharper, I could hold back no longer. I bit him brutally, tapping the artery and was rewarded by the flow of his blood: hot, salty and bitter. He shuddered violently and fought to push me away, but his resistance was futile. Finally his struggles ceased and his body grew limp as I continued to draw on him, gently now, almost tenderly. I drank a long time, slowly, relishing the feel of my own body being replenished, then I withdrew.
Arising from the couch, I caught sight of myself in the mirror. No longer pale and haggard, my skin glowed with life and my eyes shone, victorious and demonic. A few drops of blood were trickling down my chin; I wiped them away with the back of my hand and turned from my reflection in disgust...

Karen E. Taylor was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area. Despite being a voracious reader her entire life, she’d never intended to be a writer; instead, over the years, she received training in art, sculpture, dance, voice, speech, needlework, sewing and fashion design, as well as lessons in charm and horseback riding. She enjoyed them all. In college, as an English Literature and Communications Arts major, she also discovered her love of theater, but none of that long list of creative endeavors ever really stuck. 

While working as an Episcopal Church secretary in January, 1988, Karen began writing her first novel (the one which eventually evolved into Blood Secrets), just to prove to herself that she could. (English Lit majors are like that.) The book was never intended to be the first of an ongoing series, but friends and neighbors who had read the original manuscript demanded a sequel. From that point in time, an author and a series was born.

From that humble beginning, the Vampire Legacy series grew into seven full novels; two novellas and an eighth novel (The Vampires’ Daughter) are in the planning stages. Karen was a two time finalist for the Bram Stoker Award, and has produced numerous short stories, a stand-alone ghost novel (Cellar,) and two cook books. In her spare time, she can be found streaming retro video games on Twitch under the screen name OldVampireLady. After bouncing around the country for the last 40 years, she’s ended up (for now) in Vancouver, WA where she appreciates the gloom of the great Pacific Northwest.
