This historic novel begins with Aurelie telling her memories of the French Revolution, her participation in the storming of the Bastille, witnessing the September Massacres and her father's arrest, and the trial of Marie Antoinette. When Aurelie leaves the murdering mob in the September Massacres, she meets Lucan, a Roman vampire, who saves her from certain death and introduces her to the world of vampires. Seduced by vampirism, she embarks on the road of immortality, her journey filled with unsuspected turns, a mortal man that stirs her passion, surprising allies, and Giada, a Renaissance vampire that shares a dark history with Lucan and is set on destroying Aurelie. The stunning story Aurelie - Survival is a provocative historical drama that ponders if a vampire can find true love? Or has Aurelie bitten off more than she can chew?

Born in Germany, she was raised in a Belgian military community stationed in Germany, went to university in London, and speaks six languages. "Vampires fascinate me and I love the French Revolution, an historical event which was important, despite its violence. I think it provides the perfect setting for vampires."

Book Description
Young librarian Samantha Watkins has always been perfectly content with her humdrum existence. Never easily fitting in with anyone anywhere, she feels most at ease in silence, among stacks of books. Sam believes in leaving fantasy and drama to the characters in her beloved novels. But one night when she leaves work late, she finds herself center stage in a tale of vengeance and terror. Samantha is rescued from a gang of vampires by Phoenix, a mysterious and otherworldly man. Suddenly her paranormal adventures take a far more extraordinary turn than any story she's ever read. Phoenix, her savior, is actually a vampire as well, tasked with stopping his peers from killing. With no possibility of returning to her former life, Sam becomes his assistant. Together they investigate a series of mysterious disappearances and attempt to save the human race from a horrible fate. Battling vampires thrills and empowers Sam, but where does she stand with supernatural Phoenix? Could Phoenix, through their work together, become a different man?
