Here’s more about both:

WATER VAMPS

Take a fun-filled and treacherous ride into the waters surrounding the peninsular city of Charleston, South Carolina with G.L. Giles's water vampires. Slake your thirst for different vampire species and subspecies at the same time! On dry land, you'll also experience a part of Charleston, South Carolina (set primarily in the 1980s)---from White Point Garden to The Battery to the surrounding marshes, complete with plough mud and fiddler crabs---atmospherically rich with the inherent tapestry of the Carolina Lowcountry and then embellished with a healthy dose of dark fantasy!

With several species of vampires in the mix, conflicts naturally arise. Add to that, some of the various species of vampires, as well as some of the humans, also have potentially fatal run-ins with some of the specters and shape-shifters found in this young adult novella as well.

The mostly human protagonists, Robyn and Marion, are like contemporary versions of Robin Hood and Maid Marian in many ways---that is, with Robyn being a female and Marion a male in Giles's mythology---and the 'young love' version to boot, as they're middle school kids. Yet, unlike other children their age, they have special 'gifts' and a lot of responsibility for those so young in years. You see, they have the distinct burden, squarely placed upon them, of being the only ones who can save their older counterparts from another place and time: Setiana and Vasario.

HURRICANE HOUND

A children's book that teaches youngsters about respecting animals and showing them that animals have feelings, too! Illustrated by Jason Davis, some comments are: 

"Gia Lee's "Hurricane Hound" will tug at the heart strings of all animal lovers, regardless of age."

"This is no fantasy tale with obscure metaphors for dilemma, it is a true to life example of how love can turn tragedy into happiness. Uplifting and intelligent, this book demonstrates that genuine heroes do not slay dragons or leap tall buildings... but instead show compassion where no one else will."

""Hurricane Hound," released by Publish America in 2011, is the 2nd children's book by author Gia Lee who is a promising up-and-coming children's author and is a stern reminder for all pet-owners to step up and take responsibility."
