National bestselling Santa Fe author S.M. Stirling will be talking about and signing copies of his new vampire-oriented urban fantasy novel on May 8.

A Taint in the Blood is the first Shadowspawn novel from Stirling, focusing on an Earth where Homo lupens ruled the world long ago, becoming the source of all myths and legends of the uncanny. While their numbers are limited today, some of the Shadowspawn (now mixed with human blood) still dream of regaining control of the world once again.

Come join Stirling 3:00 pm Saturday, May 8, as he talks about and signs his latest novel at Page One Bookstore, southwest corner of Montgomery and Juan Tabo NE.
