In a future world, Vampires reign. Humans are blood cattle. And one girl will search for the key to save humanity.

Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a vampire city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten.

Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them. The vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself is attacked—and given the ultimate choice. Die… or become one of the monsters.

Faced with her own mortality, Allie becomes what she despises most. To survive, she must learn the rules of being immortal, including the most important: go long enough without human blood, and you will go mad.

Then Allie is forced to flee into the unknown, outside her city walls. There she joins a ragged band of humans who are seeking a legend—a possible cure to the disease that killed off most of humankind and created the rabids, the mindless creatures who threaten humans and vampires alike.

But it isn’t easy to pass for human. Especially not around Zeke, who might see past the monster inside her. And Allie soon must decide what—and who—is worth dying for.

THE FAMILY FANG
Kevin Wilson
Read by Thérèse Plummer

Caleb and Camille Fang live for art. After Annie and Buster were born, Kid A and Kid B became part of their parents’ famous live happenings, to the detriment of their childhood development. Narrator Thérèse Plummer has a firm grasp on how lost these two 30-somethings now feel. With a sense of defeat, Annie and Buster return home to the driven and flighty Caleb and Camille, who are setting up one final act. The story is broken by accounts of past performances, and, like a documentary narrator, Plummer describes them with a dry, straightforward delivery. By contrast, she deftly uses a variety of character voices, most notably that of the complex and passionate Camille. Like a Fang event, this is a story that one can’t turn away from—even though it’s uncomfortable. M.M.O. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2012]

So I have a newfound respect for the Bruins fans and hockey in general after filming the promo for the Bruins vs. Wings game the day after Thanksgiving at Boston’s Garden!  What an impressive arena as well as fan base.  I have never had so much fun on a shoot.  Working with Defiant Productions, who I previously worked on for The Newlywed Game promo, was a blast!  These guys are the nicest people to work with. I play the wife who sneaks out to “shop with girlfriends…”  The commercial will start airing Monday, November 7, on NBC.
