Author Tori L. Ridgewood Announces New Paranormal Romance Book Series

Online, November 19, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Author Tori L. Ridgewood recently announced her new paranormal romance book series, The Talbot Trilogy.

Wind and Shadow: Book One of the Talbot Trilogy, published by Melange Books, was released on June 20, 2013. This first book introduces Rayvin Woods, a photographer and natural witch. After a series of misadventures including being accused of attempted murder in high school, Rayvin left her hometown of Talbot in Northeastern Ontario, hoping to start her life over and never return. Ten years later, circumstances force her back to face her past and her former crush Grant Michaels.

Malcolm de Sade, a cunning vampire, escapes from an underground prison looking for vengeance. His accidental release unleashes his hunger and ambition on a small, sleepy town. Rayvin's power is all that stands between de Sade and his domination of Talbot, and beyond.

Grant Michaels, a police officer, thought Rayvin was a murderer. He will do whatever it takes to protect the community he loves from danger... but will he learn to trust his heart, and the word of a witch, before it's too late?

Rayvin didn't count on rekindling a lost love or battling a malevolent vampire and his coven for her life when she came home to Talbot. Facing the past can be a nightmare… It's worse when a vampire is stalking you.

"During a period of writer's block on Wind and Shadow, I wrote a prequel novella titled Mist and Midnight to help myself find answers to questions about how my vampire was trapped, and why he had come to the small town of Talbot in the first place. Mist and Midnight was released in 2011 as part of the Midnight Thirsts anthology, published by Melange Books. It's a stand-alone piece, but it's a terrific companion to The Talbot Trilogy," said Ridgewood.

Blood and Fire: Book Two of The Talbot Trilogy will be released in February 2014.

Tori is currently working on Crystal and Wand: Book Three of The Talbot Trilogy. She lives in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada with her husband and two children. She is a full-time teacher at a local high school.
