“Bryony” is the story is about a 70’s teen girl who trades her blood with a Victorian pianist/composer vampire for a trip back into time as his wife, Bryony.

After her father’s sudden death, seventeen-year-old Melissa Marchellis moves onto the former estate of nineteenth century composer and pianist John Simons, where a mysterious mist stalks her, ghostly piano music invades her bedroom, and lovely visions of John Simons’ young wife Bryony, who died in childbirth, fill her dreams.
 So, when John proposes a trade, a trip to the past as Bryony in exchange for her blood, Melissa happily agrees. She soon seesaws between a life of school, slumber parties, and cute boys to dancing at balls, attending formal dinner parties, and hosting garden fetes.

But fantasy and reality blur when her eccentric, middle-aged English teacher penetrates her dreams as Melissa’s dashing vampire chaperone; her brother Brian adopts a peculiar stray cat after a friend disappears in a midnight exploration of the dilapidated mansion; and another girl with a similar vampire pact is gruesomely murdered.

Caught between the danger of her agreement and her escalating infatuation with John Simons, Melissa contends with other vampires and their agendas, while struggling with her feelings for an undead musician.
