Tanya Huff's Blood Books move to television

Tanya Huff's "Blood Books" series will premiere on Lifetime as the series Blood Ties on Sunday 11 March at 9PM. There is a 30-second teaser ad available now on the web at www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf81_1p0Hb4. The series will also be appearing on CHUM Television in Canada.

Agent Joshua Bilmes, of the JABberwocky Literary Agency, notes that the books -- Blood Price, Blood Trail, Blood Lines, Blood Pact, and Blood Debt -- have been continually in print, and were recently reissued in three omnibus volumes.

The one-hour series is scheduled for a first-season run of 22 episodes. Promotional material for the series describes it by saying "Get ready for a fantastic thrill ride with private investigator Vicki Nelson, who joins forces with a 450-year-old vampire to solve supernatural crimes. When sparks fly between the unlikely pair, Vicki is torn between her new fanged friend and her former colleague and lover."
