Winner of the 1st prize ‘Golden Stake’ award for literature at the International Vampire Film and Arts Festival.
Sometimes being a 4000-year-old vampire isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Between bad dreams, blackouts, and an unusual amount of sun for her adopted home of Dublin, Rue just isn’t having the best summer. Taking a walk to try and relax, she finds herself being hunted, by a frustratingly familiar and distractingly desirable girl. A girl who is being hunted herself. That’s when things get a whole lot worse.
Born a daughter of the temple, Asharru is a true believer. A child of the gods. When raiders from the mountains attack, destroying her city and devastating her dreams, Asharru decides to die by her own hand rather than theirs, calling to the gods to take her soul. The gods do not hear her—but something else does. Something dark, patient and eternal. Reborn in pain, torn from light, Asharru must learn to survive, in endless nights of sand, sorrow, and blood.
‘One of the darkest most heart wrenching things I have ever read. I never knew that a book about vampires would teach me such important things about being human.’
‘BLOOD & SAND – THE FIRST BOOK OF RUE’ is the first in the ‘Books of Rue’ Trilogy, and is available now! Buy your copy here.

BLOOD & SILK – THE SECOND BOOK OF RUE
SOMETIMES LOVE MEANS GOING THROUGH HELL…LITERALLY.
Rue is adjusting to a normal life, settling down with her partner Grace in their new Dublin home, and running her bar. Although she’s still grieving the loss of her best friend Jude, things are slowly getting better—until she begins to see and feel things that aren’t there. If that weren’t enough, a gun-wielding, half-mad boy shows up in her bar, raving about a message from Jude and all hell breaking lose. But Jude’s dead. Isn’t he?
Asharru has spent the last 500 years yearning for her missing family while fleeing from the hunters constantly at her heels. Wounded, exhausted and run into the sun, she is saved by a mysterious and powerful magician. When her saviour becomes her captor, Asharru seeks solace in the friendship of a boy who would be king. As the two plot to escape the clutches of the Magus, neither of them realise their actions will lead to the fall of an empire, and give rise to another, greater than any to come before.
