Smoke and Shadows by Tanya Huff
Tanya Huff's supernatural fantasy Smoke series, with a gothic twist - Mix of ghostly mystery, paranormal horror, and dark humor - Lamba Award nominatedFans of the X-Files and Twin Peaks will love acclaimed master of contemporary fantasy Tanya Huff's twisted version of vampires, wizards, and TV terror. When Tony Foster relocated to Vancouver with his vampire Henry Fitzroy, he knew it was his chance to get his act together. In an example of art echoing life, Tony landed a job as production assistant for the syndicated TV show Darkest Night, a series about a vampire detective. And except for his unrequited crush on the show's handsome costar, Lee Nicholas, Tony was pretty content. Until everything started to fall apart on the set. It began with shadows--shadows where they didn't belong, that almost had an existence of their own. Tony tried to ignore it--until he found Nikki Waugh's body, and felt the shadow's touch, and a stunt crash went wrong for no discernible reason--and Tony knew that he had to find out what was threatening everyone on the set.

Tanya Huff may have moved away from Nova Scotia when she was three years old and has spent the majority of her life in Ontario, but she still considers herself a Maritimer. She earned a degree in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson Polytechnic on her route to the lovely rural existence she shares with her girlfriend Fiona Patton, six cats, and a chihuahua, an education she was thrilled to finally put to use while writing her new Smoke novels. Blood Price, Blood Trail, Blood Lines, Blood Pact, Blood Debt--featuring Henry Fitzroy, bastard son of Henry VIII, romance writer, and vampire--are among the most successful of her previous twenty-three works.
