More About the Author

I was born in North Wales in 1951. My first novel The Sins Of Rachel Ellis was published in 1977 and through the 80's and 90's, I published a series of thrillers for Headline Publishing, including Speak No Evil, Skin Flicks and 1999. These books will be available on kindle in 2012.

In 2007 my first children's novel, Sebastian Darke: Prince Of Fools was published and went on to be published in 20 countries around the world. There have since been two more Sebastian Darke books - Prince Of Pirates and Prince Of Explorers. I also published three stories in the Alec Devlin series - Eye Of The Serpent, Empire Of The Skull and Maze Of Death. They tell the exciting (and sometimes terrifying) adventures of a 15 year old archaeologist.

Most recently I have published Night On Terror Island, the first adventure in my Movie Maniacs series. This book relates the story of a very strange cinema, where the new projectionist, Mr Lazarus, really can put you in the movies!

I was given this and it's not my usual choice, but I must say I did enjoy it a great deal. There are some great moments of humour but the violence is quite offensive in places. I wouldn't say it was over the top but it is powerfully written and a strong stomach is needed.

That said, I enjoyed this very much. There's a great story and the take on vampires is wonderful and effectively chilling. But be careful, it is strong stuff.

I bought this because I've read other books by Caveney, and this is one of his best. I read it in a night and haven't enjoyed a book this much for years. Love Bites is the kind of thriller you can't out down.

I've been very disappointed with horror novels recently, but this is a restoration of faith. There are a number of elements I really love - good violence, fun, some decent heavy breathing sex and plenty of atmosphere. Parts of the book grabbed me especially, but the whole thing is superb. If it was a film, think Evil Dead 2.

Another thriller from a master of his craft. It races along at a cracking pace, and I was hooked (or is that 'drained'?) from the start. Vampires - and their novels - come in lots of forms, and this one has many new twists and lashings of red stuff. For fans of the vampire genre, this is an original, must-read new spin on a familiar theme: spread the word. It's an ebook: that's 'e' for easy to download, 'e' for an exciting read, and 'e' for eeearrghh! look out, it's behind you!
