Earth Walker - Payton Holt, Karen

. .

Résumé :
I wrote this series after reading 'Twilight and wishing that I knew more about Edward Cullen than Bella. He seemed two dimensional to me, and that was such a shame. After all, we all know what being human feels like, but a vampire? Now, there's the story. Think 'Twilight' meets 'Game of Thrones and you are in the right mind-set to enter the world of 'Fire & Ice'. If you want to enter the dark and, at times, harrowing world of Doctor Connor and experience his human obsession, then you can find it here. 'Fire and Ice: Awakening' began the journey which spans 5 novels and is much more than a vampire tale, it is an emotional roller coaster ride. This is Book THREE in the Fire & Ice series - EARTH WALKER ~~~~~~~~ Two years have passed since Rebekah gave birth to the hybrid child, Seren. Her development continues to scare and fascinate Connor and Rebekah. Now the London Hive vampires know a hybrid birth is possible, they become restless; Connor is being pressed hard for answers and Principal Julian is losing control at council hearings. Connor and Anthony ruthlessly enforce the twenty-five mile exclusion zone around the eco-shelter community Seren and Rebekah still call home, but regardless, the hive members attacks become more frequent and ferocious. The body count is mounting and something has to crack under the pressure… but, when the implosion comes, Connor is blindsided. The attack comes from places he could never imagine. As events spiral out of control, two groups journey across continents and come together in a last ditch rescue effort - each drawn to the eye of the storm. Julian can't dissuade Connor from his chosen course, where recklessness crosses the boundary into fatalistic. The shock waves of discovery shatter Connor's world. Everything outside the London Vampire Hive is unpredictable, brutal even; the fate of humans, Greg and Seth, are tied to that of Julian and Connor, and the stakes become overwhelming when Connor's psychic connection to Seren is infiltrated by an unknown presence. Fighting for their lives is the spector hanging over them all. 'Succeed or die trying' becomes the grim mantra which haunts them.

Biographie:
Born in Wales, I came to writing late. My children are full grown, and in 2010, I had a dream - yes, I know, sounds like a cliche, but there it is. I had a conversation in my kitchen about vampire fiction. My position was, 'there is no point writing about vampires, unless you have something new to say'. I then had a dream which followed me around in the daytime, too, and I sat down on my laptop, and wrote it out of my head. But no, instead, it opened a floodgate I had no idea was there. I went from not having written a word in thirty years, to writing 80,000 words in six weeks. It was the birth of the series, 'Fire & Ice'. It is a series of 5 books featuring Connor and Rebekah and a prequel, all of which are written and will be released in 2018, hopefully. I worked on an online writers site - Writers Carnival - and wrote more than 70 short stories, 50 poems, and flash fiction at that time. I am published in Readers Carnival and Sanitarium magazines, before I committed myself to becoming a novelist, for now, in any event. My biggest irritation is that there are not enough hours in the day to fit in my day job, my writing, marketing, online platform building, and -insert the many I have forgotten here-! Writing is my passion, my name is Karen, and I'm very pleased to meet you....
