Worse Than Death
Type of edition: Hardback
|
Theodora Zed, midlist writer for the Freeman Publishing Company, writes her vampire novels sexy and gruesome, the way her readers like them. She's easily spotted in the malls signing books or at the conventions speaking at panels. With her wild hair, whited face, red lips, and tight black clothes, she's considered the most outrageous of the "vampire ladies." Then she goes home, combs out her hair, washes her face, and trades her leather for sweats. She becomes Mary Kate Flaherty, thirty six year old wife and mother of two boys, trying to balance a middling writing career with far too many domestic requirements. When a brash young writer is murdered outside a hotel with Mary Kate's missing four-inch spike heel by the body, the police want her to explain the two small puncture wounds in his neck. All of a sudden, death and blood isn't fiction anymore. It's real.
