Here’s the set-up for Michele Drier’s SNAP:  THE WORLD UNFOLDS, just $2.99 on Kindle:

SNAP, a multinational celeb TV show and magazine, is the holy grail for Maxie Gwenoch. When she snags the job as managing editor, she’s looking for fame, fortune and Jimmy Choos. What she finds is a media empire owned by Baron Kandesky and his family. A family of vampires. They’re European, urbane, wealthy and mesmerizing. And when she meets Jean-Louis, vampire and co-worker, she’s a goner.

The Kandesky vampire family rose in Hungary centuries ago. They gave up violence and killing to make a killing on the world’s commodities markets and with that beginning they built SNAP, an international celebrity multimedia empire. Now cultured…and having found food substitutes for killing…they’ve cornered the world market for celebrity and gossip journalism.

They haven’t fully left the past behind. Their Hungarian neighbors and rival vampire clan, the Huszars are starting to ramp up attacks, maybe looking to start a war to take over all the Kandeskys have built.

Maxie believes she’s found her ultimate career. She doesn’t realize that she’s found a family feud like none other, a centuries-old rivalry between vampire families, with her as the linchpin. Bells ring with Jean-Louis, but she doesn’t realize they’re alarm sirens until she learns that Jean-Louis is second in command of the Kandeskys…but by then it’s too late.

From the reviewers:

This is a great, light, fun, vampire romance summer read!   – darcybot

When I was asked to review SNAP I wasn’t sure I could contribute a relevant opinion since I’m not a sci fi/paranormall/vampire fan, but after the first 25 pages, I was hooked. Ms. Drier has truly created a world that unfolds. The characters are not cardboard stereotypes they are real people who happen to drink blood. I turned the last page, looking for the story to continue.   –  RJC Romanski

I hadn’t been into the vampire genre for many, many years but added this e-book to my Kindle, started reading it and couldn’t put it down! It grabbed my interest right away and left me wanting more. Can’t wait for the sequel!!!  –  Jackqueline Timmons

I was born in Santa Cruz, California to a family that migrated west to San Francisco in 1849. Unfortunately, they never found gold, nor didthey buy (and hang onto) any California land.

I’ve lived in San Francisco, the Bay Area, the Central Valley, the Sierra, Southern California and the North Coast.

My first career was in journalism, and I spent seven years as a staff writer with the San Jose Mercury News. After returning to Humboldt State University to complete school and work on a master’s, I fell into my second career, as a non-profit administrator.I spent time as a reporter and editor for daily papers in California. I was the city, metro and executive editor for daily newspapers in California’s Central Valley and managed non-profit agencies, including a legal organization serving roughly 10,000 senior citizens in Alameda County.

I’m a member of the Society of California Pioneers and Sisters in Crime and live in California’s Central Valley with a cat, skunks, wild turkeys and an opossum (only the cat gets to come in the house).
