Love between a teenage girl and a vampire can be a beautiful thing. Then again, it can get a little ugly. Just ask Stell Crow. Stella is a clumsy but otherwise ordinary girl whose life takes a radical turn the moment she meets Edweird. Though perfect on the outside, Edweird Sullen is remarkably unrefined on the inside. He also happends to be a one hundred year old vampire, trapped in the body of a teenage boy, who has yet to finish high school. Nonetheless, Stella is unconditionally smitten with him. But not everything is rosy in this gloomiest of towns. Edweird's enemies have sworn to put a tragic end to their romance. Against all odds, the bond between Stella and Edweird is *nearly* strong enough for their love to survive. Most love stories between an impossibly handsome vampire and an ungainly young woman have a magical ending. This one - not so much. Steve Jenner has a Ph. D. in a field not related to writing parody novels, and lives with his wife and young son in Maryland. His house is filled with a menagerie of animals and that would make most local zoos green with envy. *TwiLite* is his debut novel. Steve has no plans to give up his day job.
