A Vampires Awakening 
August-2013 by S.E Stenner

I’ve been writing children’s and teenage fiction for over ten years, as a hobby at first, but finally decided to take the plunge and publish my work. Paraestrals is the first volume from my young adult mini series which followers a school girl, Samantha LeFay and the trials life throws at her.

Paraestrals synopsis:

A narrative coming of age horror/thriller, about a young girl whose world is turned upside down as the origins of her dark lineage surface. 

‘My name is Samantha LeFay, I’m young, popular, with my whole life ahead of me, what can go wrong – everything! After turning sixteen and suddenly becoming allergic to the sun along with a few other weird afflictions, my life begins to unravel at the seams, as my friends desert me, my boss at my weekend job forces me to quit and my stepmother nags me to the point of insanity.

My life’s different now, I’m different. As the people at school would put it I’m a freak - Sammy LeFreak. I don’t know if they’re right, all I know is the sun burns my skin, I suddenly have the strength to throw a guy ten foot in the air and my body craves a particular substance..…Blood!’

Paraestrals is no ordinary Vampire tale, my story takes the reader along with Sam as she discovers this hidden side she never knew she had, and follows the decisions she makes when it comes to how she’ll use these new found powers she possesses.

I started writing because I wanted to challenge myself and being dyslexic, writing a book was probably the most challenging thing I could do.

I’ve long had a fascination with vampires, there’s just something that sets them apart from the other monsters that go bump in the night, which is not only alluring, but down right frightening at times and these two elements written well can make for one hell of a read.

Well I hope you enjoyed my guest post, all the best, Sara.
