More About the Author

Elaine Bergstrom was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and is the product of 16 years of Catholic education which, she is sure, has strongly affected her work. Her first novel, Shattered Glass, was among the first vampire romances and created a family of vampiric immortals -- powerful, eternal but with some odd constraints on their natures. It was set in her hometown and the church she attended as a child. It received critical acclaim, including a Stoker nomination,and has been followed by four other novels of the Austra family. Under the pseudonym Marie Kiraly (her grandmother's name), she has written two Dracula sequels: Mina...the Dracula Story Continues and Blood to Blood. She resides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she runs a novel writing workshop, freelances as a TV and film critic, takes care of too many cats, and writes grumpy old lady letters to her congressmen and local papers. You can get additional information on her books and upcoming appearances at elainebergstrom.com
The kindle edition of Shattered Glass is the "author's cut" version -- including 10,000 words not included in the original paperback.

4.0 out of 5 stars Austra vampire fans, this is a MUST READ, June 22, 2000
By 
Danie Peranteaux (Los Angeles California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blood Rites (Paperback)
Having been introduced to Elaine Bergstroms' vampires in Shattered Glass, I was thirsty to read more about what had happened to Helen Wells, of Austra blood and converted to full 'family member' by Stephen in that novel. In Blood Rites, she is the first in the family for many centuries to be able to bear children without the usual death or loss of desire for life that is the sad lot of every Austra female who chooses to have offspring. Helen and Stephen have twin boys, and she is happier in her new life than she would have dreamed possible. When her twin sons are kidnapped (and the kidnappers don't know that they've bitten off far more than they can chew - these babies aren't babies in our usual 'human' sense of the word) she goes hunting in a way she swore to herself never to do when she is changed over to her new, vampire self - hunting for humans, that is. To tell more would be to give away the resolution, but I would suggest looking long and hard for this sequel and NOT lending it out...I'm still trying to find another copy after 10 years!
