I am the author of THE FIRST VAMPIRE: A NOVEL of SAMSON & DELILAH. You can read more about it on Amazon.com or on my website (www.aliciabenson.com). The Amazon product page has some nice reviews, including one that calls it "an impressive debut -- and a bona fide fresh and original vampire novel."

From the Back of the Book:
Some journeys take more than one lifetime. Ever since Delilah used a devilish brew from Lilith to turn him into a vampire (and then turned him over to the Philistines), Samson as been plotting revenge against his former lover and arch nemesis. When he finally catches up to the reincarnated Delilah in modern day New York City, it seems as though he has all the time in the world to see that the last chapter of their sordid saga is finally written. But much like old enemies, old passions die hard, and Samson is forced to make a surprisingly hard choice. Does he want her dead more than he wants her back? Intelligent, disquieting and deeply erotic, THE FIRST VAMPIRE cleverly weaves the past into the present in a captivating tapestry of suspense, intrigue and betrayal.

I also have a short story out in this month's issue of Drops of Crimson, an online speculative fiction magazine. It is called LAST RESORT and tells the story of a woman who thinks she wants to live on the edge, only to find out that the edge is a lot more dangerous than she imagined. You can read it here.
