Week three for the Author of the Month takes us back to 61 A.D.

The thrilling sequel to the 2010 horror bestseller, 33 A.D.

Britannia, 61 A.D. For ten years, Taras has lived in the young city of Londinium, feeding off the city’s underbelly. But now Theron, his old enemy, has come looking for revenge, and Taras’ nights of living in relative peace are about to end.

Yet not even Theron can slip into town unnoticed, and the Council of Thirteen sends Ramah to deal with the two renegades once and for all. But unknown to the Council, a much older enemy is also in Londinium, and this time even the great Ramah might not be safe.

Set against the backdrop of the Iceni uprising in Roman-era Britannia, 61 A.D. continues the story of Taras, Theron, and Ramah, as they fight their way through history.

"61 A.D. starts off fast and doesn’t slow down for a minute, with new characters and wildly intriguing twists that will have McAfee fans screaming for the next volume. Highly recommended."

--Jeremy Bishop, #1 Amazon.com horror bestselling author of TORMENT and THE SENTINEL.

Once again McAfee has taken a key point in history and made it his own, breathing new life into our old friends and adding a few new characters to the mix. Back are Taras, Theron, Ramah and the infamous Council of 13. The female characters introduced in this book take two steps forward; unlike in book one they definitely have more of a presence and a voice. Once again McAfee pulls off the multiple storylines that are uniquely woven together adding just enough mystery and intrigue to keep you guessing until the end.

These books are amazing, intriguing, engrossing and quite frankly; scary as hell! NOT intended for young adults, Mature content included. If you are looking for something original in the sea of regurgitated storylines that seem to overwhelm our books as of late, THIS is the series for you!

Remember, these vampires don't sparkle. They are vicious killers to spite the fact someone is trying very hard not to be. The difference between this book and the other's in the series is the super fantastic bitch on wheels that takes center stage, and does a damn fine job of holding her own against the likes of Taras and Theron.

I was born in England at the age of...um...zero, and spent the next few years traipsing around the globe with my military family. At age six, while living in Maryland, I wrote my first book. I even illustrated it (poorly). It was a charming children’s book titled Tigger Meets Lady Tigger. (At age six, I knew nothing about copyright violations, etc)

As an adult, I joined the Peace Corps, where I single-handedly rescued a baby Yannomammo boy from a school of ravenous piranha. At the time, I'd just wrestled a hungry jaguar (bare-handed, of course) to the ground. I tossed the cat into the water and used the distraction to pull out the three kids and their mother, who would otherwise have become fish food. Once I returned the family of eight to their tiny village, their shaman wept and made me the new chief. The old chief, a 300 pound mass of jungle-sculpted muscle, took offense, and challenged me to one-on-one combat.

With my pride at stake, I accepted, and eventually pinned the nine foot, eight hundred pound behemoth after locking him into a half nelson for an hour. Once assured of victory over the twelve foot tall former chief, I donned his raiments and took over leadership of the tribe. Under my rule they flourished and soon became the Chilean government.

It was during this time that I discovered my talent for embellishment, and thus began to write books. Forty of them, in fact. Seventy-five of which made the NYT Bestseller list. With 112 NYT #1 Bestsellers under my belt, I figured it was time to start a blog: mcafeeland.wordpress.com. Hopefully, you will come find me out in the Wild, Wild Web.

(Did I mention that I invented the internet?)

Tams: Oh my, somebody needs put down the glass and back away slowly. Wait, then his books might not be as good. Nevermind! As you were!!
