About the Author
Stacey Voss was born and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. In late 2005, she and her daughter moved to Wuppertal, Germany to live with her then fiancé, Heiko Voss, whom she married in July 2007. She wrote Thunder and Blood during the November 2007 National Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo) event, with a two week hiatus during which she honeymooned with her husband in the Canary Islands.
Thunder and Blood takes place in her hometown of Thunder Bay, reflecting Stacey’s yearning to feel close to her roots once again. Realizing that four trips back to Canada in three years was an indication of more than simple homesickness, Stacey, her husband, and daughter moved back to Thunder Bay at the beginning of 2009.
Stacey is really enjoying being back in Thunder Bay, despite having moved back in the middle of the cold winter months. Her hobbies include reading, writing, camping and fishing and she considers herself to be quite a computer geek.
Stacey has two Diplomas in International Business, certification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a Minor in English Literature. While in Germany, she taught Corporate English to a wide variety of students and discovered a real love for teaching. She is currently teaching a class at Confederation College to International Trade students.
Stacey is just finishing up the next novel in the Thunder and Blood series, entitled Madness and Blood, and wants to assure her readers that many of the questions left unanswered in the first novel are answered in the second. After writing Madness and Blood, Stacey plans to write two prequels in the series, one covering the transformation of Leonardo DaVinci into a vampire and the other expanding on the origin of the first vampire.
