Christine Feehan (b. Christine King in California) is an American romance-paranormal writer. She has published more than 40 novels, including five series, and numerous novellas since 1999.
Christine King was born in California. She grew up with three brothers and ten sisters. She spent a lot of time getting in trouble at school for writing instead of doing the things she was supposed to do. Later she forced her ten sisters to read every word. She is married to Richard Feehan, together they have 11 children (each had children from previous marriages). Today, her daughters read and help her edit her manuscripts.
She has been published in multiple languages and in many formats, including large print, palm pilot, e-book, and hardcover. In October 2007 her first manga comic, Dark Hunger was released in stores. This was the first ever manga comic released by Berkley Publishing and it made #11 on Publisher’s Weekly Bestseller’s List.
This series introduces the Carpathians, a powerful and ancient race. They have many gifts, including the ability to shape-shift, and extended life spans, living for thousands of years. Though they feed on human blood, they don't kill their human prey, and for the most part live among humans without detection. Despite their gifts, the Carpathians are on the edge of extinction. There have been few children born to them in the past few centuries, and those that have been born are all male and often die in the first year. It has been more than 500 years since a female has been born. In the absence of their female counterparts, also known as "lifemates," male Carpathians lose the ability to feel emotions and to see in color. The only feeling left to them is the thrill of making a kill. Once a male has killed someone by draining them of blood, he loses his soul and "turns," becoming the monster of human legend, the vampire or the "undead." With so few females left, males are forced to make a stark choice: either become vampire or "greet the dawn" (i.e. commit suicide). However, when they do find a lifemate, provided they have not turned, the ability to see in color and their emotions are restored to them, and their souls are saved.
There are three series that take place in the town of Sea Haven. The first series focuses on the Drake sisters and their lives. They have magical abilities and each book is about them finding the men they are destined for.
The Drake sisters leads directly to the second series which focuses on six women that have come together because of their pasts. They have elemental abilities and each book is about one woman and their chosen man, which are the Prakenskii brothers.
