More About the Author

I'm best known for writing THE VAMPIRE FILES, a series about an undead vampire Jack Fleming whose first case is to solve his OWN murder! There's 12 books and counting, as well as a number of short stories about his adventures.

In addition to writing, I've gone into editing and had the pleasure of working with the top names in urban fantasy with several award-winning collections.

Lately, I've just signed to edit a new anthology for St. Martin's called HEX SYMBOLS and signed a 3-book contract with Tor for a new steampunk series, ON HER MAJESTY'S PSYCHIC SERVICE. I'm currently working on the first book, THE HANGED MAN.

I consider myself to be danged lucky to have a job that I love this much!

There's a lot more info on my website: www.vampwriter.com and, yeah, you figured it, I'm on FaceBook. Far too often for my own good! Drop in and hang out!

I am a big fan of Elrod. This book kept a great pace and had a good twist. Sad there is no more in this series.

This review is from: Dance of Death (Vampire Files) (Paperback)

hmm. where to start. jonathan begins discovering the full extent of his vampiric powers, and i just have to spend a few lines complimenting ms. elrod on how well she writes a villain. or in this case, two villains-elizabeth's new husband and her new sister in law, who turns out to be her new husband's real wife. we also learn more about jonathan's mother....and why she is the twisted way she is. molly is portrayed well as a pragmatic woman just trying to make a living during hard times, and nash continues to be an annoyance and a comic distraction (faithfully fulfilling his role as a minor character). i know this book is hard to find but if you can find it, it is definitely worth your time. i also recommend the hardcover omnibus edition, jonathan barrett, gentleman vampire, if you can find it (yes, i have it, and no, it is not for sale, not in this lifetime, thank you, no). if you can't find any copies, write the publishers and bug them for a reprint (you never know, it could totally happen). in the meantime, scour my review for the hidden translation of the first chapter (just kidding. no really, don't, cuz there isn't one). keep an eye out for used copies sold over the net....you might even want to check out amazon.com. i don't know, maybe they have a copy or two kicking around somewhere (yes, i know, you are now officially tired of my humour, but that's fine, cuz i'm done anyway).
