Alex Stone,
an ex vampire hunting assassin, is the owner of a hot new clothing company. The

her past.

EXCERPT
She
enjoyed seeing those chains of pure silver wrapped around the vampire’s scrawny
arms like tattoos. He barely resembled the picture of the old parish priest the
Cardinal sent them two weeks ago. His brown skin hung from his bones like an
ill-fitting suit. His paunch bounced up and down as he struggled to get loose.
It took longer to catch him, much longer than it should have, but all’s well
that ends well.
Alex
Stone, call-sign Dagger, ran her
fingers through her dark hair. Flakes of dried blood and sand fell as she
pulled the dirty mess into a ponytail. Benjamin Palmer, Team Commander,
snatched her wounded hand back down and tightened the field dressing as he
griped at her about how dumb it was to try to catch the sharp end of a knife
with her hand. She knew that . . . now.
“Who
do you think you are,” he said as he gave the knot one last yank, “Superman?”
Ben checked her busted lip with a shake of his head. “That’s gonna hurt like
hell till morning.”
Alex
just nodded, taking the pills in her good hand and swallowing them with a quick
sip of warm water from his canteen.
Under
normal circumstances, Alex would be pulled from the field, evaluated and
possibly scrubbed from the next assignment for that stunt. But time was running
out and this wasn’t normal, not even for the top vampire hunting team in the
country.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Being an introvert doesn’t
mean you have no voice. It just means you have the ability to communicate in
different ways. For new author and champion introvert, Janice Jones, that way
is writing. She began by reading anything she could get her hands on, but after
college, she found herself in roles that required more business-focused writing
than fiction. This didn’t stop her – she continued to create her own stories to
feed her passion for the written word.
Honing her skills as a
paralegal for several years, Janice continued to feed the beast by spending
every spare minute she could creating the world of her first fictional
character Alexa Stone. In Her Blood, the first book in the Dagger Chronicles
series, will introduce New Adult Fiction readers to the adventures of an
ex-assassin and vampire hunter as she returns to the fight after many years of
hiding in plain sight.
The idea for In Her Blood
came during a rough time in Janice’s life. Overcoming loss can be tough for
anyone. For Janice, writing helped her focus and heal. As a tribute to her late
sister, she had the opportunity to release a short story entitled “Dancing on a
Sunday Afternoon” in 2009. Receiving positive feedback, she continued to write
and focus on improving every way she could. Earning a Master’s in Creative
Writing from Southern New Hampshire University, Janice was encouraged to finish
the Dagger Chronicles series and pursue publication. Rejections came, but she
never quit. Now, her debut novel will soon have a place next to some of her
favorite fiction.
