The Sunbottle Stone Mataos Ponticello

Publisher Marketing: Into the office of hematologist, Dr. Charles Foster and his young intern, Dr. Kyle McClendon, comes a beautiful vampire Miss Iza Cara Medori, who asks for help in protecting her daughter Tessa from a vicious vampire, Dimitri Alexander. She tells the story of the "Sunbottle Stone" which carries the blood of her ancestors only members of her family, the Medori Vampires, are allowed to drink. The living organism inside the stone allows vampires to live in daylight and co-exist with humans; and humans, should they drink it, gain immortality. When young Dr. McClendon agrees to accompany Iza Cara to meet her daughter Tessa and Dimitri Alexander, he is brutally and mysteriously murdered by an unknown assailant, while Dimitri Alexander is slaughtered by the Medori Vampires. When both vampires and humans converge to possess and drink from the stone for a variety of their own evil purposes, Iza Cara and the doctors soon learn that Tessa is as malicious as her associates, and has intentions to gain the power to rule an army of vampires who want to feed night and day. Tessa defies and challenges her mother and all Medori family traditions as she conspires with an aging billionaire, his malicious chauffeur, and a venomous henchman, who are obviously willing to commit chaos and murder to find and drink from the Sunbottle Stone. Contributor Bio:  Ponticello, Mataos During his college years, Matt got a position in a major U. S. Corporation, where he rejuvenated a company-wide, bi-monthly newspaper originally published during World War II. He ran the successful newspaper for more than 5,000 employees, until his retirement 23 years later. He later opened his own business: Matt's Auto Body, deep in an American inner city. Today he is retired, and with family and friends, recalls the disturbing events of those years, but laughs about it in his hilarious, "Laugh-a-mile-a-minute" romp through the inner city, in his novel: "How to Beg for Cigarettes (Two Editions!)" After publishing HBC, Matt showed his diversity in writing by re-introducing a poetry book first published in the early 1980's, and now he says it's been "In his blood" to write a vampire book. His first was "The Sunbottle Stone," and his most recent being: "V-Positive: The Bloodbaby Chronicles."
