The Cycle of life Book 1
by Ruth Spencer
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Christophe
Haram is vampire, his skin is pale, his hair black. An avid reader of
conspiracy theories, he is certain the mythical human race exist. During his
wild youth he darkened his skin and dyed his hair, he remains unruly to this
day.
A new dayclub, Sunrise, opens in his home town, Orionsby;
and it appears to be a hotbed for trafficking missing vampires. While
investigating Sunrise, Christophe uncovers terrifying tales of missing vampire
spanning decades.
When, the manufactured bloods vampires drink runs out,
vampires become feral.
Will chaos ensue?
And when an old friend returns with a proposition, is
Christophe brave enough to accept it?
‘Remember when we bought the self-darkening lotion, we had dark skin for nights, everyone used to stare at us and we used to try our best to look sultry and moody?’
‘We were sultry and moody, we didn’t need to pretend. What about the clothes we used to wear?’
‘Oh no, mate, you had that awful suit.’
‘I thought I looked the business in it. It wasn’t made from the usual leather was it? It had a similar feel but was dimpled and more delicate.’
Logan started to laugh. ‘Remember when Miss Berry our science teacher turned up to school in a similar suit. You could almost see through the material.’
‘She was a bit way out wasn’t she?’ Christophe sniggered. ‘Remember that lesson about the vampire eye when she told the whole class that vampire must have evolved from a species that could tolerate the sun because of the structure of our eyes?’
‘Oh my goodness, that’s when we wrote our first article for the school paper and you started to get into your conspiracy theories.’
‘Ahhhh, the old vampeye conspiracy,’ and they started to recite their article in parrot fashion.
Ruth lives in Rothley, Leicestershire, England with her
space obsessed husband Simon and her black cat Violet, who just wants a warm
knee. She found her love of books at a young age and remembers the smell of the
old library on her monthly visits with her mum. Together they would bring home
books of many different genres and Ruth quickly moved from reading teen novels
to digesting adult books.
Ruth was always afraid of horror films, she remembers the
time her mum bought her The Thing to watch, thinking it a nice science fiction
film. Ruth was terrified and her feelings for horror films remained until her
mid twenties, when, suddenly she began to appreciate horror films and began
reading Urban Fantasy books. Vampire films quickly became a favourite and the
idea for her debut novel slowly began to take place.
Currently Ruth is writing the sequel to Origin of the
Vampire and when she isn't writing and promoting her book she loves to relax by
drawing portraits. The great outdoors is a big passion and holidays in The Lake
District and by the sea in Cornwall and Dorset give Ruth great inspiration. But
it was walking in the woods close to home where Ruth had her eureka moment and
worked out the final piece of the puzzle for her debut novel. Walking in the
countryside near home remains a weekly ritual, and of course coffee and cake is
essential before returning home.
