WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING

"Remember the name Morven Westfield. She's an exciting new voice in the Horror/Vampire genre. DARKSOME THIRST is her debut novel and what an entrance it is! Set in the 1970s, the vampire Wesley and his protege Frederick come face to face with a coven of smart Wiccans and the climax is both unexpected and exciting. The characters in this work are believable and interesting; the background authentic. The mixture of modern computers and ancient blood-suckers is fascinating and will draw-in the most seasoned reader. I look forward to Morven's next recounting of the ongoing battle."
-- Raymond Buckland, author, The Witch Book, and others

"An impressive debut novel by Morven Westfield. This is why we buy books! The intriguing plot keeps one turning pages way into the night, and the characters seem to take on a third dimension -- a thrill ride for the vampire aficionado."
-- Jimahl, author, A Voice in the Forest

THE STORY

When Alicia Anderson first became aware of the sentient shadows in the computer room, she dismissed them as figments of her overactive imagination. When she found herself tiring a little too easily, even dozing on the job, she could have attributed her lethargy to the lateness of the hour -- were it not for the tiny twin bruises on her throat.

Fledgling witch Matricaria has begun to receive psychic messages – vivid dreams and tarot card readings – that point to a terrible fate for someone near to her. She and her coven attempt to decipher the symbols, hoping to prevent a tragedy.

Soon the lives of these very different women intersect.
