Born in Vancouver in 1980, Tamara MacNeil of Vancouver Island has published fantasy stories in various publications and writes romance fiction under the name T. Neilson. In her novel Salt and Iron (Dreamspinner Press), James van Helsing is the youngest son in a famous monster-hunting family. He's the family's big disappointment not the least because he is falling in love with Gabe Marquez, his oldest friend and son of the family the van Helsings have worked alongside for years. Things get even harder for James when he becomes what he and everyone else despises most--a magic user.
