Lifeblood Werner Lind

Vampire freaks do I have one for you right here! Have you read any of Werner Lind’s work yet? No, well I am now trying to highlight the man’s hard work. He is also the author of “The Gift” a digital short story that I think you will also enjoy. That too has a vampire element to it. To say that I enjoy the author’s style and substance is an understatement. Here is the synopsis of  “Lifeblood “ :

“All Ana Vasilifata ever wanted was a simple life, with a good husband, children, and a happy home. What she found was a vampire who made her his bride. And when she fled to England in the winter of 1665, she found a stake in the hands of a fearful and angry mob.

Over three hundred years later, an accident reanimates Ana in the quiet town of Meriwether, Iowa. She flees to an abandoned house where she meets Joshua Davidson, a kind-hearted carpenter who helps Ana adjust to this strange place and time. As her friendship with Joshua deepens, Ana begins to hope that she can finally find the peace she has always sought. But dangers still haunt her, for even now there are some who believe in the stories of vampires. This time she is not friendless, but, she wonders, would Joshua continue to help her if he knew what she was? And, even if he would, could he protect her from all the monsters lurking in the shadows? “

Just to make sure that I am touching all the bases today, here is the author’s biography:

“Werner A. Lind was raised in eastern Iowa.

A graduate of Clinton (Iowa) Community College and of Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas, he also holds master's degrees from Eastern Mennonite Univ. in Harrisonburg, Virginia and from Indiana State Univ. Formerly a college teacher and public librarian, he and his wife Barb now live in Bluefield, Virginia, where he has been a librarian at Bluefield College since 1992. They have three daughters. His short fiction, book reviews, and scholarly articles have been published in various periodicals, and he has twice won prizes for his work in fiction. Lifeblood is his first novel. “

Okay, now let’s get down to the nuts and bolts of the novel. Here are my top reasons for enjoying reading Werner Lind’s work:

-Great prose

-Well constructed, detailed plotline and execution of it. I just love great execution, don’t you?

-Excellent characters! He really made me care about them and left me wanting more at the end, a great sign.

-No dead pages. I was not bored at all during the read and was hanging onto every word as it was very compelling and incredibly pleasant.

-Unique. Yes, I found this to be a unique take on a busy genre and I for one am happy that I was able to get to read this novel. Trust me when I say you will feel the same way when you get into it. My wife actually thanked me for recommending it once she was into it, and she doesn’t like vampire novels too much. Lifeblood she loved.

-The cover on the ebook, it just looks really cool. Wait I did it, so cross this one off, and move to the next point as if you hadn’t read this point.

- Last but not least: I am going to be collaborating with Werner Lind in the very near future. What will it be about? I have no idea as he hasn’t sent me the first part yet, but I am sure it will rock just as all the others have thus far. Yes, I will doing the cover for it also, Fun is Fun!

My suggestion on this novel, to sum it all up, is to get it in your ereader, have some fun and enjoy a great read.
