Kelley Armstrong believes experience is the best teacher, though she’s been told this shouldn’t apply to writing her murder scenes. To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is however an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.

Simon Clark is the author of the cult apocalyptic novel BLOOD CRAZY: "everyone over the age of 19 has been driven murderously insane... children and teenagers flee for their lives..." His novels include Nailed By The Heart, Vampyrrhic, Whitby Vampyrrhic, Ghost Monster and a bloody fistful of others that earned accolades from magazines around the world. This from Hellnotes: 'Clark's is surely the most outrageous imagination to grace horror since the discovery of Clive Barker' And: 'I actually loved Blood Crazy. Not just liked it, but loved it.' A quote from Beyond.

BLOOD CRAZY has now been issued as an e-book.

Simon was raised in a family of story-tellers. One told of a human skull buried under the family's garage. Currently he lives in the North of England where Robin Hood once roamed, and where legends of monsters lurking in ponds and caves abound.

Hi there. It's me! Again. Time to update some more. Trying to keep up with this and realizing I haven't updated this since 2015. (It's 2016 right now) I've expanded my online presence to include Facebook and Twitter, a website a blog and every other bleeping thing there is out there in the cyber world. Was finding it hard to manage all that exposure and get work done at the same time. I am writing under two names (JAX is for my steamier stuff...and yes, it does get steamier!) And I am in over half a dozen languages now! INCUDING a full line of NIGHTWALKERS audio books with the glorious narration of the superb Xe Sands. I'm thrilled with the job she did!

A KISS OF MAGIC, Book One in the A Kiss of Magic series just debuted, soon to be followed by A KISS OF FIRE, A Kiss of Magic Book Two. Both are available for order and pre-order here. I am self-publishing these books.

In January of 2017 I am publishing a book called THIRST through Random House/Loveswept. It's a great book about a special kind of vampire. Check it out! I think it's available for pre-order already. The cover is also smokin' hot. This too is in electronic format only. (Hey, if you want print I'm right there with you! But I am at the mercy of my publishers!)

I'm still living in Asheville, NC. My kitty family has dwindled to a mere three cats. I have moved but still live in the Asheville area. My what a project that was!

Email will always be welcomed. I am a tech queen and my laptop has grown roots into my thighs. (And my bottom has grown them into my recliner). I am so thrilled about all of my books and I want to know what everyone thinks of them! I receive emails at jackifrankwrites@gmail.com these days. Feel free to say hi!

If you haven't tried me, please do. I always recommend starting with JACOB. Or if you don't want to invest in a series, go for DRINK OF ME. It's a stand alone.

Enjoy,

Hugs and Kitties,

Jacquelyn Frank
