The Vampire’s Heart
The
Vampire’s Heart is the story of Graham, a lonely thirteen
year old boy, who is searching for a friend and maybe a
boyfriend. The novel is a departure from my usual storylines in
a few ways. First of all, none of my other books include
vampires. Secondly, VH is not part of the Gay Youth
Chronicles and therefore has nothing to do with Verona, Indiana
and its cast of characters. More |
