Author: Nicole Eigener
Bio: Nicole Eigener is the author of ***Beguiled by Night: A Vampire Tale*** and ***Citizens of Shadow: Beguiled by Night Book Two***, in which Vauquelin’s story continues. They are also co-author, with Beverley Lee, of ***Crimson is the Night: A Vampire Novelette*** and*** A Conclave of Crimson: A Queer Vampire Romance Trilogy***, featuring a meeting of characters from Lee’s ***Gabriel Davenport*** series and the ***Beguiled By Night*** series.

Nicole is a lifelong student of French history and the macabre. Their love for haemovores became a beautiful marriage to their obsession with French culture, specifically of the seventeenth-century, which (along with themes of historical queerness) features prominently in their work. When they aren't writing, they are most likely editing, reading, dreaming about male vampires kissing, trying to avoid the sun, and/or desperately missing rural English villages, Parisian cafés, and rainy walks through crumbling cemeteries.

Nicole writes in Southern California...for now. Visit their website for book extras including French pronunciations and a soundtrack.
