Book Description:
Snow Blood Season 1 by Carol
McKibben is the first in a series of short novels retelling the modern day
adventures of the first vampire.
When Brogio must turn Snow, a
beautiful white husky, in order to save the dog, a series of events is
unleashed that reveal a sinister plot against the father of all vampires.
As life and true death
experiences bond the master vampire and his newly transformed vampire canine
together, they unravel a conspiracy that when resolved may return Selene, the
love of Brogio’s life, back to him and set him free from the lonely existence
that has plagued him for thousands of years! From the author of Luke’s Tale,
follow Snow Blood, an epic story of the first vampire as told through the eyes
of his kindred dog.

the original vampire, and follows the white husky through his transformation to
the Kindred world.

existence. Is she merely a doppelganger or his love returned to him? Is she
part of the threat to his destruction? More threats are made not just against
the lives of Brogio and Snow but against Selene, forcing them to reveal their
true identities to her. Struggling with her acceptance of Brogio, Snow and Kane,
Selene is brought into their fold for her protection.
Episode

- let the reader know more about Brogio and the original Selene’s past while
Brogio attempts to protect those he loves from inevitable destruction by
leading the threatening dark forces away from them. Snow intercedes after
Selene’s plea for help to reunite her to Brogio. United again, destruction
follows the four of them wherever they go. Hounded by ancient gods and
goddesses, monsters, werewolves and a number of disasters, they battle to
protect each other. In his effort to protect his master and those he loves,
Snow must make a promise that will end his life as he knows it. The true source
bent on destroying Brogio is finally revealed and culminates in an epic battle
where Snow offers up his life to save Brogio, Selene and Kane.
Episode

– Snow prepares to keep the promise that he made, but Kane intervenes for his
“blood brother,” leaving us to wonder about both their fates. Tension grows
between Brogio and Selene as he attempts to make her his wife for eternity and
defy the gods. The reader discovers if Selene is his love returned to him.

About
the Author:
Carol McKibben graduated from the
University of Kentucky with a degree in Secondary Education and a minor in
Journalism. She went on to earn a Master’s of Arts in Teaching (MAT) from
Rollins College. After teaching English and Journalism for a decade, she was
offered the opportunity to join Miramar Communications, the 8th largest
publishing house west of the Mississippi in Los Angeles.
Working her way up from editorial
and then as Director of Market Development, she became the publisher of Special
Events magazine (a trade publication for all those working in the events
industry) that she helped launch in 1984. In addition, she created a companion
trade show, The Special Event, for which she was also the director for a
decade, planning every aspect – from exhibits to educational conferences and
events.
During that time, she earned her
Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP) designation and helped found the
International Special Events Society (ISES) of which she was international
president from 1999-2000. She co-authored The Dictionary of Event Management
for ISES and helped write the study guides for the CSEP exam.
She was a magazine publisher for
both consumer and trade magazines for 20+ years. She has written numerous
articles and conducted a myriad of seminars, often speaking to large audiences
for both The Special Event and ISES. She was awarded the Lifetime Achievement
Award from the special events industry in 1999.
In 2007, she began a freelance
writing and editing career, working with other authors to help them realize
their dreams. She has published Luke’s Tale, Riding Through It and Snow Blood
Season 1. Luke’s Tale and Snow Blood are targeted to a YA market. Luke’s Tale
was included in the Summer Solstice Top 12 Book Pick List. Carol writes from
the heart of a dog’s eyes. Her books help support her dog rescue efforts and
focus on unconditional love.
Carol is married to Mark
McKibben, a broadcast engineering sales professional and experienced airplane
pilot, and they have two grown children, Rett and Stephanie, and three
grandchildren, Lauren, Diesel and Slater. Their current “babies” are Neo, their
117-lb. Labradoodle, a trained therapy dog, and Binks, a black Labrador
Retriever rescue. Together Mark and Carol work with the Los Angeles Animal
Rescue and Wings of Rescue to save the precious lives of endangered dogs.
Carol is a firm believer in Maya
Angelou’s quote:” I've learned that people will forget what you said, people
will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
She believes that angels were her inspiration for Luke’s Tale – a Story of
Unconditional Love and feels that even though the Snow Blood Series is about
the original vampire and his kindred dog, that theme carries through. “There’s
a method to my madness,” she states. “The world is waiting for love to overcome
hate. I feel that my purpose is to show others how to love unconditionally,
just as dogs love us we should love each other.”
Carol’s other favorite quote is
one that her husband taught her. “I love myself more when I am with you.”
Carol ,Neo and Binks are
currently working on Snow Blood Season 2.
