Anna Strong was a tough-as-nails bounty hunter until the night she was attacked by a vampire and changed forever

Since then, Anna has struggled to adapt to her supernatural status while clinging to the vestiges of her humanity. Avery - the sinister vampire who transformed her - is dead, and Anna learns that she’s entitled to his vast fortune. Then a predatory werewolf comes forward, claiming to be Avery’s widow. She demands the entire estate and makes it clear that she and her pack think nothing of killing Anna and those who matter to her to get what’s owed them. Now Anna must protect those she loves from a werewolf out for the two most precious things in the world: blood and money.

We learned this about Jeanne Stein from an interview she did at PopSyndicate.com. Stop by the chat Monday night to learn more.

Who is Jeanne Stein? Jeanne Stein is a woman of a certain age who finds herself in the incredibly wonderful position of starting the career of her dreams at the time of life when most sane people are thinking of retiring. And she wouldn’t have it any other way.

How long have you been writing? A very long time. Decades. It’s only been in the last four years that I found my niche. 

What inspired you to write about protagonist Anna Strong? I’ve always been attracted to the vampire genre. It’s sexy, romantic, thrilling, scary. It appeals to the part of us that wants to live forever. It appeals to the part of us that wants to be super strong and super smart and fearless. Anna Strong is all that. And she’s intensely loyal and protective of the ones she loves. It’s very easy to write about a protagonist you admire and I admire Anna greatly.

After a night of passion Deb Stein wakes up to the scent of pine and the discovery her life has changed forever.  Now instead of the glare of paparazzi flashbulbs, she’s in the spotlight as Dovey Divine who takes it off for a roomful of lusting strangers.  Her goal now is revenge on the man who turned her into one of the living dead.

Aaron Lowell’s one night stand left him consumed with guilt in taking his partner to the dark side.  He knows she’s out for blood his blood and he can’t blame her anymore than he can forget her.

It is widely rumored that Lizzie T Leaf is the terrestrial manifestation of a love goddess from a distant planet. She busies herself tantalizing men and entertaining all with her writing of vampires, toy soldiers, cougars and phone sex.
