  About the Author...

  'Della Van Hise is a native of Florida, transplanted to California at the age of 21, who has subsequently sunk her roots into the high desert near Joshua Tree National Park. She has not personally seen any aliens since around 1992, but there is rumored to be a secret UFO base underneath her house.

  Her first professional sale was best-selling KILLING TIME - the controversial Star Trek novel which was recalled and re-edited in 1984. More recently, Della has written extensively in the non-fiction genre, with titles such as QUANTUM SHAMAN: DIARY OF A NAGUAL WOMAN and SCRAWLS ON THE WALLS OF THE SOUL. "Quantum Shaman" focuses heavily on the author's metaphysical explorations and experiences, while "Scrawls" is a continuation of those journeys many years later. If you enjoyed the works of Carlos Castaneda or Don Miguel Ruiz, you'll enjoy the non-fiction works of Della Van Hise.

  In addition, Della has written professionally for Tomorrow Magazine and other prominent science fiction publications. Her most recent fiction works include Sons of Neverland (an award-winning vampire novel); Year of the Ram (a space-faring gay romance); and Coyote (a romantic science fiction novel combining the mystical aspects of martial arts, coming of age, and personal sacrifice.)

  Della lives in the desert, sharing her life with her significant other, Wendy Rathbone, and a host of cats, dogs and various desert wildlife.

  Set against a background of contemporary culture, Kiss of the Black Angel explores one man’s grief as it plunges him into the realms of the vampire. There, Stefan encounters Dimitri and Miquel, one of whom is destined to become his maker, the other his brother. But the price of immortality is high, and as the vampire warns, “Through my blood you will learn a secret which will compel you to live forever, yet a secret so profane it will haunt you for that same eternity.”

  The secret will haunt you, too.

  This book is dedicated to the quest for immortality and human evolution, to the muses who make the quest possible

  …and most of all, to Wendy.
