Author’s Note

 

Dear Readers,

 

I wrote this book 13 years ago. It took me six months to write it, and I spent the next seven years editing. However, I never had someone else edit it until now, and the book I produced all those years ago ended up being 160,000 words. That’s close to 500 pages in print. I published the book under the title “The Vampyre Prophecy,” which I never have liked. You can still see it on Amazon. You may even be able to purchase a copy, but since I retired/unpublished the book a few years ago, not one cent would come to me and Amazon won’t remove it or “Gemini.”

 

I revamped (pun intended) this book because now that I’m an editor, I saw all of the issues within its pages. And boy, were there a lot of issues. In fact, I may have even missed some. I think my eyes crossed several times in attempting to rework the book that took forever, and then I sent it to R.C. Murphy so her eyes could cross too. She did a spectacular job, and I can finally say that I am pleased with the result of what you’re about to read.

 

The original book was split into two books: “The Dracove” and “Gods & Vampyres.” This first book builds the series of which there will be at least four books. It introduces you to a lot of characters who will become important in later books.

 

I love this story line, and it’s the main reason I reworked it so diligently over the past several months. I wanted to share Kylie’s and Grant’s story with you again with hopes that it flows much better than it did before.

 

So I thank you for looking at the sample, and I thank you for purchasing “The Dracove” and hope you enjoy it.

 

Sincerely,

 

NL “Jinxie” Gervasio

 
 

Glossary

 

My affinity for the bizarre and/or old world names and languages has prompted me to add this guide for you with an apology because I know some of the words are difficult. I hope you find the guide useful, though I must admit I may not have covered all of the words you might find within the pages of this novel. If it’s not listed here, I don’t know how to pronounce it. Meanings are listed as well because generally, if I give a character a specific name, there’s a reason for it. That, and not many people know Gaelic.
