Did you know that Elizabeth Loraine has written 13 books and as a successfull, award-winning author is still accessible to her fans?  She writes consistantly on her Facebook Pages, Royal Blood Chronicles and Elizabeth Loraine and often converses with her fans there, directly. Marcella-Vampire Mage came about from a fan request wanting to know more about this interesting minor character first appearing in the third book of the Royal Blood series: the Dark Prince.The Dark Prince (Book 3) (Royal Blood Chronicles)Marcella is half sister to both main character Damien and the up and coming main character CainCain, The Quest (Book 4) (Royal Blood Chronicles).  We see, in Marcella-Vampire Mage, the fleshing-out of this young vampire as she goes on with her life and is surprisingly invited to attend the most exclusive school for magical training.  This school, almost wholly for young witches, has curiously just enrolled a young vampire - and now serves as the next stage as we watch Marcella's life's journey.Marcella was written with younger readers in mind and is a good book for mothers and daughters to read together to investigate the areas of young love, dedication to learning and the value of personal conviction and the strength of family values.  Good job and I hope to read more about Marcella.
