Biography

About me: I am a degreed teacher with a B.A. in English from the University of Texas at Arlington. I am also pursuing a M.A. of Education with a concentration in Reading Instruction at Dominican University and currently possess a 3.0 GPA. I graduate in May 2010. As a teacher and a mother, I understand the need for appropriate literature teens can read without corrupting their morals, spirits, and/or entire beings. Twilight started a phenomenon and I hope to make use of a readily available audience by incorporating young adult themes with the supernatural. Vampires present a natural curiosity for humans and we are intrigued by their powers as well as their mysterious natures.

Inspiration

The charismatic and sophisticated vampire of modern fiction that was born in the early 19th century with the publication of The Vampyre by John Polidori led to the advent of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the quintessential vampire novel and provided the basis of the modern day vampire legend. The success of the book spawned a distinctive vampire genre and has since become a dominate figure in the horror game. Now bursting on the scene is Angie Reed’s Hybrid, introducing a new element into the horror equation, an element that will change the new generation’s concept of the vampire. Hybrid introduces a new genre-part human, part vampire, and impossible to detect. The thought that one of these new vampires may be your neighbor and the thrill of reading the new mistress of the vampire genre will keep you riveted to your seat and mesmerize you until the final spine-tingling, unexpectedly shocking moment.
