Marines. I nearly ran down a dog one night on a back road during a Kentucky rainstorm. The dog, it turned out, had been made to suffer and left to die in a crate. But his will to survive, his determination to overcome the many cruelties inflicted upon him, and the ultimate and unabated goodness that abided in him afterward, are the actual reason these pages bearing my name exist at all. I was profoundly wounded of heart and empty of purpose as I drove through the Kentucky darkness that night. I had recently returned from Iraq, the lone survivor of my squad, when my headlights bore through a sweeping rain to find him there, stumbled and fallen. Both of us being on that same road, on that night, and at that moment, was not an accidental happenstance but the poetry of fate. For as much as I saved a dogs life, he saved mine.

    (Kneel Or Die - TKG 07 Review) * A serum has been uncovered that was thought had been destroyed in WWII * The UnknownWorld is ready to explode from pent-up frustrations * The most powerful vampire is weary and tired of keeping the peace, and pieces, together * One man hates working with vampires, but he finds someone along the way that makes it worth everything. * A woman is given the opportunity to make a difference, but she gets changed more than she was told. They say a dress can make a woman, but in this case, the dress is Death, and Death Becomes Her very well indeed. Reviewer MistyDawn: "I'm surprised. I thought when I read the first book in this series, that it couldn't get better.... I was wrong. I read almost continuously, and for the past year and a half, I haven't read a series (or even one) book that I've loved as much. With such loyal characters, friendship, and badassery... just don't wait to start reading these. So just, just wow." **Please note, as mentioned in a review, there is flagrantly foul language in these novels. The main character does not have a problem with cussing, just uninspired cussing.

But spending their honeymoon night on the run from hunters out to finish him and his pack is sure not the kind of fun he was looking forward to.
