Merton arrives home from a trip and discovers a corpse in her

There Ren must use her wits to fend off danger and find a way to

agent Caren Estesen. Literary agent Dee Mura praised it for having
"a strong lesbian protagonist who large audiences can identify
with." It is the first book in the Flashback Mystery series. Near
the end of the narrative, the reader sees the crimes in flashback
as they happened, learning details even Ren didn't uncover. Jump

Reese Mackenzie built a life around fantastic fabrication. As a top
reporter at an international tabloid magazine, she made headlines
with stories that involved mythical creatures in modern settings.
Real life was often quite a scary place for Reese, who had battled
her entire life against eerie premonitions that always managed to
come true. Things get a little too real when the photo of a dead
girl right from her nightmares ends up on Reese's desk. Instead
Reese finagles her way all the way to Romania to investigate
something a lot safer: a vampire. However once Reese and her
co-worker, Brody, hit Bucharest, she makes a disheartening
discovery. Her psychic gift - or curse - kicks into overdrive,
especially concerning the victims of a serial killer who fancies
himself a vampire. Victims turn up completely drained of all their
blood from puncture holes in the neck, in some gruesome encore
performance of the Transylvania of lore. Instead of limiting
themselves strictly to her dreams, Reese's premonitions begin to
arrive via physical contact with future victims. While she tries to
piece together her erratic psychic evidence, Romanian police,
desperate to find their killer, zone in on her implausible
connection to each of the victims. It's a pathway of clues that
could lead her to the killer, or send her completely over the edge.
TASTE OF BLOOD is the psychological thriller from author Ginger
Voight, whose genre-bending novels like MY IMMORTAL and DIRTY
LITTLE SECRETS dig into the macabre to unearth suspense, romance
and drama.
Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Design (Industry,
Graphics, Fashion), grade: 2,0, language: English, abstract:
Digital printing is a new dimension in textile printing. Compared
to conventional methods there are many strengths, but also
weaknesses. As far as the design process is concerned, the digital
technology has an impact, to some extent being able to produce
small, highly individual patterns, at a lower price and with a
lower lead time than traditionally. These facts also positively
support the trend of mass customization. Currently some designers
embrace the new technology but at the same time it is also
criticised. Key Words: digital textile printing, textile design,
ink-jet printing, design influence.
