"refreshing contemporary urban erotic horror thriller"
Four millennium ago, the Monere left the moon to create a
society on Earth ruled by Queens, who live for centuries
and use lunar rays to heal. Men serve these powerful
rulers until they are discarded or abused beyond use. In the emergency room of Manhattan's St. Vincent's
Hospital, one of these Gorgeous males arrives near dead.
Young ER nurse Lisa saves Gryphon only to learn that she
is not a full blooded human; apparently Lisa is the
offspring of New York Monere Queen Mona Sera and that she
is the first half-breed Monere Queen, which enables her to
do things the purebreds cannot yet do. Her royal peers
including her mother fear the newcomer and want her dead.
However with her awakening and human goodness (as opposed
to the Monere pure ruthlessness) Mona Lisa has begun to
attract quite a following from amidst the rejects and
throwaways. This is a refreshing contemporary urban erotic horror
thriller that grips the audience once Lisa saves Gryphon
in a unique beside manner. The readers will appreciate
the premise that Queens rule through power including
sexual. The exciting creative story line is action-packed
as the other Queens want Mona Lisa eliminated before her
modern humanized methods destroy their Monere traditions. Harriet Klausner

SummaryA smoldering debut novel exploring the passion, hunger,
and danger that can break loose in the moonlight.
From the time she was a child, Mona Lisa knew she was
different—but she never knew how different until a man
of otherworldly beauty appeared during her night shift in
the ER. Gryphon is hurting and hunted and he attracts her as
no man ever has before. He is a Monère, one of the children
of the moon—and what's more, so is she.
Long exiled from the moon, the men of the Monère
serve—and mate with—imperious Queens who can
channel the rays of their far-off homeland. Gryphon believes
that Mona Lisa is a Queen—perhaps the first of Mixed
Blood ever known. But her introduction to the nighttime
court of the Monère, simmering with intrigue, casual lust,
and calculated cruelty, is far from smooth.
