Bill Ransom


Brother Blood Sister Death

Bill Ransom

Twin Vampires. Different motives to kill.

Hybrid vampires Daniel and Diana feel technology's cold, uncountable tendrils hunting them. Daniel scientifically satisfies his needs. Diana, his twin sister, hunts in the old-school way, leaving patches of greasy, scorched earth or mutilated bodies for her brother to take care of.

Daniel created Matrix, a face pack for beauty shops, which pulls blood through skin, leaves blissful clients, kills and alerts no one. Daniel cultivates his human side; Diana mocks him. Impatient, she hunts out of spite as much as need.

Admitting to himself that his twin sister will get him killed, Daniel knows that life's hardest decision is at hand.

Jaguar

Bill Ransom

The Jaguar's mind roams the dreamways between worlds, searching for a way to escape the broken, lifeless body lying comatose in a veterans' hospital.

He knows the price others must pay for his wanderings, and he doesn't care...

But there are others with the special ability to dream between worlds, and now four talented young people--two from our world and two from another--must find a way to stop the Jaguar. Because each journey he makes brings both worlds that much closer to annihilation.
