Anna Strong Chronicles

My name is Anna Strong. I was thirty on my last birthday, and I will be thirty when you read this. In fact, physically I will never be older than thirty no matter how many mortal years I have on this earth. I am a vampire. How I became one and the reason for my existence is the reason for this story. I tell it the way it happened so you will learn the truth as I did. It may not be what you expect . . . Anna Strong is a bounty hunter--tough, confident, at the top of her game. But when she is attacked one night in a parking lot, her life is inexorably changed. She awakens in the hospital to find she has become a vampire and her world is now the unsettling world of the undead. With her mentor, the vampire doctor who treats her, she strives to make sense of it all. But then her home is burned to the ground, and her best friend is kidnapped. Anna suddenly finds herself alone on a quest to save not only her friend but herself as well . . .

My name is Anna Strong. I'm a woman caught between two worlds--my past as a bounty hunter, my present as a vampire. I do my best to hold on to what makes me human--my family, my job, my lover. But the pull of the undead is a siren song that's becoming impossible to resist . . .Anna's fragile grip on a normal life evaporates when she discovers that her long-dead brother had a child she never knew anything about. Now a young teen, that child--Trish--is caught up in the worst kind of human nightmare. In order to save her niece, Anna fears she might have to surrender to the animal side of her nature. As she stalks Trish's predators, the lines between good and evil are no longer clearly defined. And before long, Anna has to ask herself who is the real monster, the humans who prey on their own kind or herself, the blood-thirsty vampire doing anything she has to in order to save them.

Anna Strong seems finally to have achieved the right balance between her vampire and human lives. She's looking forward to a normal summer with her husband and step son when an old enemy from the past appears, the vampire Chael, and what he reveals changes everything. Someone is writing Anna's story under the guise of fiction and threatens to expose the vampire world unless Anna grants the author what she desires most... a vampire existence of her own. Life becomes even more, complicated when her business partner, David, and their boss become victims of a Ponzy scheme. But, it's more than money at stake. Someone is killing off the investors one by one. It's up to Anna and David to find out, who before their boss becomes, the next victim.
