Tanya Huff, a Canadian writer and author of a series of vampire novels, was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and attended Ryerson Polytechnical Institute where she earned an associate's degree in Radio and Television Arts. In the mid-1980s she opened Bakka, now Toronto's main science fiction bookstore, and turned to writing during her spare time. Her first published works were children's fantasy fiction stories. Huff endeared herself to vampire fans with the series of novels about detective Vicki Nelson, formerly a police officer who had been forced to retire due to failing eyesight. In her first advent, Blood Price, she becomes involved in a case in which a serial killer is leaving bodies scattered around Toronto drained of blood. She soon encountered Henry Fitzroy, an illegitimate son of King Henry VIII and a vampire now living in Canada. Fitzroy was brought out of his private world by the killing, which he attributed to a young vampire in the throws of a feeding frenzy. Their work together to solve the case would lead to their sharing both their bedroom and a series of adventures into the supernatural. After the fourth Nelson/Fitzroy novel in 1993, rumors flew around that Huff was abandoning her characters and for five years nothing more was heard of her. However, in 1997, they again appeared, much to the delight of Huff's fans. Attachments:
