The Vampire Extinction: Greyson Undead (Book 1)

The Vampire Extinction: Greyson Undead is an exciting new paranormal series that will take fans of Twilight, The Mortal Instruments, The Vampire Diaries and A Shade of Vampire on a thrill ride unlike any other…  

Greyson Black hated what he was: a monster.  Forced to feed on the blood of humans, he’d been condemned to a life of darkness and murder to survive.  Though others like him celebrated their fate, Greyson cursed it.  Unlike them, he had a conscience, one that prohibited him from feeding on innocents.  Instead, he chose to kill only those he deemed deserving.  Those the world would be better off without.

 

Despising the vicious nature of his kind, Greyson lived a life of complete solitude.  An empty life without anyone or anything to live for.  But of that all changed the day he met Alex Lockhart.

 

The only human he’d ever encountered who didn’t fall victim to the trap of his allure, Alex made him feel alive again for the first time in decades.  She caused him to feel a dangerous emotion: hope.

 

A violent encounter threatened to tear at the thread of happiness Greyson clung to, and forced him to choose between letting Alex die and enslaving her to a life like his.  A life spent in shadows.  A life of bloodlust.

 

But would changing Alex even save her?

 

Dark forces lurked, stalking and conspiring against all vampires.  Killing them systematically and intent upon exterminating every last one of them.

 

Will Greyson and Alex survive the hunt or will they fall to the vampire extinction? Find out in this riveting first installment of The Vampire Extinction series, Greyson Undead…

Jennifer and Christopher Martucci hoped that their life plan had changed radically in early 2009. To date, the jury is still out. But late one night, in January of 2009, the stay-at-home mom of three girls under the age of six had just picked up the last doll from the playroom floor and placed it in a bin when her husband startled her by declaring, "We should write a book, together!" Wearied from a day of shuttling the children to and from school, preschool and Daisy Scouts, laundry, cooking and cleaning, Jennifer simply stared blankly at her husband of fifteen years. After all, the idea of writing a book had been an individual dream each of them had possessed for much of their young adult lives. Both had written separately in their teens and early twenties, but without much success. They would write a dozen chapters here and there only to find that either the plot would fall apart, or characters would lose their zest, or the story would just fall flat. Christopher had always preferred penning science-fiction stories filled with monsters and diabolical villains, while Jennifer had favored venting personal experiences or writing about romance. Inevitably though, frustration and day-to-day life had placed writing on the back burner and for several years, each had pursued alternate (paying) careers. But the dream had never died. And Christopher suggested that their dream ought to be removed from the back burner for further examination. When he proposed that they author a book together on that cold January night, Jennifer was hesitant to reject the idea outright. His proposal sparked a discussion, and the discussion lasted deep into the night. By morning, the idea for the Dark Creations series was born. The Vampire Extinction series, the Planet Urth series, the Remains of Urth series, The Demon Hunter series, as well as the Arianna Rose series and the Dark Creations series, are works that were written while Jennifer and Christopher continued about with their daily activities and raised their young children while fleshing out each section. Life simply continued. As the storyline continues to evolve, so too does the Martucci collaboration. Lunches are still packed, noses are still wiped and time remains a rare and precious commodity in their household, but it is the sound of happy chaos that is the true background music of their writing. They hope that all enjoy reading their work as much as they enjoyed writing it.
