Earth Walker
I wrote this series after reading ‘Twilight” and wishing that I knew more about Edward Cullen than Bella. He seemed two dimensional to me, and that was such a shame. After all, we all know what being human feels like, but a vampire? Now, there's the story. Think ‘Twilight’ meets ‘Game of Thrones” and you are in the right mind-set to enter the world of ‘Fire & Ice’. If you want to enter the dark and, at times, harrowing world of Doctor Connor and experience his human obsession, then you can find it here. ‘Fire and Awakening' began the journey which spans 5 novels and is much more than a vampire tale, it is an emotional roller coaster ride. This is Book THREE in the Fire & Ice series - EARTH WALKER ~~~~~~~~ Two years have passed since Rebekah gave birth to the hybrid child, Seren. Her development continues to scare and fascinate Connor and Rebekah. Now the London Hive vampires know a hybrid birth is possible, they become restless; Connor is being pressed hard for answers and Principal Julian is losing control at council hearings. Connor and Anthony ruthlessly enforce the twenty-five mile exclusion zone around the eco-shelter community Seren and Rebekah still call home, but regardless, the hive members attacks become more frequent and ferocious. The body count is mounting and something has to crack under the pressure… but, when the implosion comes, Connor is blindsided. The attack comes from places he could never imagine. As events spiral out of control, two groups journey across continents and come together in a last ditch rescue effort - each drawn to the eye of the storm. Julian can’t dissuade Connor from his chosen course, where recklessness crosses the boundary into fatalistic. The shock waves of discovery shatter Connor’s world. Everything outside the London Vampire Hive is unpredictable, brutal even; the fate of humans, Greg and Seth, are tied to that of Julian and Connor, and the stakes become overwhelming when Connor’s psychic connection to Seren is infiltrated by an unknown presence. Fighting for their lives is the spector hanging over them all. ‘Succeed or die trying’ becomes the grim mantra which haunts them.

About the author
Karen Payton Holt
8 books11 followersI am the author of Fire & Ice series: Awakening, Survival, Earth Walker, Heart of Stone.
I was born in Wales, but brought up my family in Kent. I came late to writing. My children are full grown and, in 2011, I had a dream - yes, I knows that sounds like a cliche, but there it is.
One morning, I had a conversation with my daughter about vampire fiction. My position was ‘there is no point writing about vampires, unless you have something new to say’.
That night, I had a dream which followed me around in the daytime, too, and I sat down, got out my laptop, and wrote it out of my head. But no, instead of putting an end to the story it opened a floodgate I had no idea was there.
I went from someone who had never written a word in thirty years, to writing 80,000 words in six weeks.
It was the birth of the ‘Fire & Ice’ series of books featuring Connor and Rebekah and a prequel, all of which are written. The first 5 books were released in 2018, hopefully. The final instalment is out November 2020.
I worked on an online writers site - Writers Carnival - and wrote more than 80 short stories, 50 poems, and flash fiction at that time.
I published stories in Readers Carnival and Sanitarium magazines before committing to becoming a novelist.
My biggest irritation in life, is that there are not enough hours in the day to fit in my day job, my writing, marketing, online platform building, and -insert the many things I may have forgotten here...!
Writing is my passion, my name is Karen, and I am very pleased to meet you.
Think ‘Twilight’ meets ‘Game of Thrones” and you are in the right mind-set to enter the world of ‘Fire & Ice’.

Perfect vampire book
Fabulous, just wish I could have bought it earlier on amazon as I had to re-read the second book to refresh my memory. Like the previous two books I just couldn't put it down. I hope I don't have to wait as long for book four. These books are addictive.
