Blood Shadows by Lindsay J. Pryor “I drooled on my keyboard.” “Wow! This is just soooo good.”

“Utterly captivating.”“Flawless, tight, sensual, electrifying!”

“Tell Kane he can have my soul RIGHT NOW!”

“Every moment was dripping with tension.”

“I forgot to blink.”

“Girl, you can WRITE! And you can write sexxxy!”

“Fang-a-licious!”“I nearly fainted when he removed her belt.”

“The sexual tension is off the charts.”“After Kenyon’s Zarek, I thought I’d never fall for

another bad boy again...”

“Jaw-droppingly good... I’d want to shout ‘Bite Me!’”

These are just some of the reader reactions to Lindsay J. Pryor’s 2011 entry for Mills & Boon’s New Voices contest. She finished as runner-up. Now, for the first time, the full story is ready to share with readers - published by Bookouture on 27th November 2012.

Lindsay J. Pryor is a British Paranormal Romance author who writes dark, intense stories set in the dystopian world of Blackthorn. Blood Shadows (originally entitled Beguiling the Enemy in New Voices) is the first book in the Blackthorn series.

Imagine a world controlled by humans – who rule over vampires with an iron fist. Society is divided and ‘third species’ are both feared and discriminated against. Additional seeds of discontent are sown by whispers of a vampire prophecy foretelling the overthrow of the human regime. This is the world of Blackthorn.

Blackthorn at once provides an enthralling escape for readers and holds up a mirror to the injustices of our own society. Lindsay paints this multi-layered world effortlessly, and uses it as the setting for an intense, forbidden romance…

Introducing Lindsay J. Pryor

Lindsay J. Pryor has been creating stories since she was nine years old, when she quickly decided that fantasy was more interesting than reality. She thought she’d grow out of it but hasn’t yet.

Despite years of bashing out stories on an old typewriter, it was the death of her father in 2007 that finally convinced Lindsay to try and become a published author.

“One of the last things my dad said to me was to do what I wanted to do in life. After he passed away, I pulled out all my scribbles from over the years and got back to writing what I loved most - paranormal romance.”

When not writing or teaching, Lindsay indulges her fascination with mythology and supports local animal rescue and rehabilitation work.
