She wanted to find a way to increase the intelligence of humans to save the world. What she found was the secret to eternity that had come from the stars and a love that would save her.

Part One
Keesha is a neuro-biology researcher determined to discover the secret to intelligence to save humanity from itself. What she learns leads her to realize a bigger threat comes from beyond the stars. Yuri is a Russian vampire whose long-dead feelings respond to the scientist whose brain he admires but whose curves he can't resist. Will his love reach the places in her heart that she has ignored for so long? And can they defeat the ancient Mayan mummy who has invaded Keesha's mind in order to stop her from discovering what the Prophecy of the Mayan Undead reveals?
Part Two
As Keesha and Yuri continue to try to eliminate the Mayan threat to humanity, they have to enlist the aid of Niu Ying, a brilliant Chinese neurobiologist. As a gifted child Niu Ying was given to the state by her Chinese parents, leading to a harsh life. Her un-dead existence has been worse. When other vampires urge her not to further the destruction of humans, they bring a blue furry alien Visitor. She never expected to discover her own humanity in the arms of an alien--he never expected to fall in love. Can their passion bridge the gap between their races? And can they join forces with the others to face the return of the Mayan aliens and save humanity?


Excerpt

"So how did you find me? I had no idea where I was, so you couldn't have been doing any kind of mind-reading on me."
"No. I did the mind-reading, as you call it, on your asshole of a boyfriend. You really need to dump him, you know. His dick gets plenty of action that doesn't involve you. You won't be able to catch anything communicative from him anymore, but still--he doesn't deserve you."
She sat back slightly to stare at him again, this time in surprise. "He knew about where I was?"
"You're not surprised that he's been cheating on you?"
She sniffed. "I knew, but I didn't really care. I like sex, and have no time to really date anyone. He's always hanging around the lab complex, since his father is one of the main donors keeping the lights on. So he was convenient, that's all."
Yuri reached a hand out to caress her cheek with his fingers, then turn her head so that he could stare deeply into her eyes. Then he smiled and nodded, as if pleased. "Good. Then you won't mind when I kill him for allowing was going to happen to you."
"No! I mean he's a cheating pig, a self-centered, pompous prick, but that doesn't mean he needs to die." She looked alarmed. "Wait a minute! Does this mean that when I feed on people I will be killing them? Can't I use animals instead?"
Yuri shook his head. "Animals can be used in extreme emergencies, but not on a regular basis. Whatever we are, whatever it is that lives inside of our blood, prefers human blood. I don't know why. That's one of the things I was hoping you would find out for me."
"I don't know how I'm going to research anything anymore. If Dan knew about the plot to kill me, then he's in on it." She looked away and appeared to be concentrating deeply. "Since he's one of the only ones who knew what I had found, he probably knows about what I discovered about my work also. In fact, that may be part of why he was so friendly with me to begin with. Shit! I thought I was just using him for sex, but apparently he was pumping me for information all along."
At Yuri's startled choke, she looked at his face and realized he was chuckling again. He shrugged. "Sorry--but that's not all he was pumping you for."
Keesha stuck her tongue out at him. "Ha, ha. Okay--pun unintentional, but acknowledged."
"Keesha, if you don't mind my asking, what had you discovered that made you suddenly so disposable?"
She shifted around on his lap. "Of course I don't mind your asking. What the hell? It's been that kind of day."
He nodded towards the open window.
She saw the darkness. "Okay, it's been that kind of night. I guess I'm only going to have nights from now on, huh?"
Yuri shrugged. "Some of the really old ones can go out in the daylight. They just get sun-burned really quickly. Whatever is in us, doesn't like sunlight. But with enough of my blood in you, you'll soon be able to stay awake during the day. You just won't be able to go outside. But then you won't want to, so it all works out."
"Um--Yuri, is it?"
He nodded.
"You can put me down now. I think I'm done having a panic attack."
He smiled at her. "Are you sure? I kind of like holding you on my lap."
Keesha started as she felt a part of him twitch against her thigh. She looked closely at his face. "We can still have sex? I thought that wasn't possible anymore."
Yuri laughed out loud. "What would be the point of eternal life if you had to give up having sex? The longer you are a vampire, the more you discover about what you can still do. Whatever makes us alive, wants us to be happy, or it can't be alive within us." He shrugged again. "Besides, haven't you read any vampire erotica lately? We're all the rage these days. Us and shape-shifters."
"Are they real too?"
"Don't know. Never met any, but that doesn't mean much. They could be all around us and choosing not to reveal themselves, just like we don't."



Professional Reviews

Smashwords Reader Alec-5 stars!
Let's talk about this book, because it is just fantastic - action movie, sci-fi movie, erotica all rolled into one. You should already be reading it, seriously. In case you need convincing: the book begins with a bang - a literal bang, as our protagonist, Keesha Brown, intent on invention a compound which will save humanity from itself, is murdered. Intrigued? Next a sexy Russian vampire shows up, turns her, and takes her on a journey to the corners of the earth to uncover ancient alien secrets and the motive behind her murder. How about now?! Oh and did I mention the Russian vampire is sexy? Because while they're finding out those secrets, they have some DYNAMITE love scenes. You in?!!! How about if I tell you that there is a furry immortal blue alien who shows up looking for answers, who just so happens to have a weakness for Earth females? OR that there's a race of bird-headed blood-drinking aliens involved? You in now?!!! Buy the book!!!

You will love reading "Prophesy" - it is a thrill ride, it's sexy, it's intriguing, and it would make one hell of a movie.


Screenwriter John Klawitter
Keesha Brown may be one of the smartest biological scientists around -
she is too smart for her own good, and when a greedy corporation can’t
control her, they kill her. Lucky for her, a decent-minded vampire
named Yuri Kozakov is enamored with both her brain power and her
admirable curves. Yuri saves Keesha’s life, but the only way he can do
that is by turning her into a vampire. This is not all bad, as vampires
live a long, long, long time. And then there’s the sex. Vampire sex is
about as hot as a human can imagine it. Not just any human – Fiona
McGier, the hottest author around.
But this isn’t just about vampin’ good times = the humans are in big
trouble. An alien race needs human blood. They warned the ancient
Mayan civilization 5000 years ago that they would be coming back, and
there are only a few years left until they get here. Can Keesha with her
brilliant mind and Yuri with his resourceful centuries of experience find
a way to stop the human race from becoming blood doners for these
creatures from outer space? Find out in Prophesy of the Mayan
Undead!


Shelly from Red Hot Books gave this a B+
Fiona McGier where have you been all my life?!? This is my first but definitely not my last of her books. I’m actually hoping for a series out of this story (yes, this is a shameless plea).

Prophecy of the Undead starts out with a bang and it doesn’t let up. Neurobiologist Keisha Brown is working for a company with some slightly shady (to say the least) financial backers. Growing up poor and being the first in her family to graduate high school much less going on to college, Keisha is on a mission. Not only does she want to be better that where she came from, she’s determined to solve the mystery behind intelligence. Yuri Kazakov, hottie Russian vampire, has his own agenda. He’s been reading up on Keisha’s research to see if she can help him find out the biological (or non-biological) reason that vampires came into being.

McGier writes a fun and interesting take that pleasantly strays from the formulaic vampire tale. There’s no mistake that these people are even remotely alive, and I think it’s with this rationale that we’re able to see them do things that are clearly not for the living and sometimes just plain old silly. I couldn’t agree more with the social commentaries, so thanks for saying it (‘cause it’s true). But I’m drifting – back on task.

After Yuri’s rescue of Keisha from some straight-up-vicious foul-mouthed thugs, the rubber meets the road and Keisha has to choose if she wants to live. She makes the right choice. Then finding out the repercussions of her newly ‘differently animated’ anatomy, these two set off on a fast-paced adventure to find out more about Yuri’s questions. There’s a lot of information (some will make sense, the other will give you a nice giggle) that’s found out along the way.

I can’t give away too much because the book is relatively short and is a very quick read (I read it in one sitting). Before I go, I have to tell you about Casimiro and Apolinar – these are two OLD vampire dudes are also lovers. Argh, I couldn’t stand them initially, because they were two of the most pompous and self-aggrandizing vampires EVER. But but but, they actually turned out to be a bit more than meets the eye and I found myself really starting to like them after their experiences with Keisha. Oh, and then there’s Caesar, the Latin Lover, who is such a sweet talker you couldn’t help but like him from the get go.

I really enjoyed this story and I would like to see Keisha and Yuri in a follow up, not because the story was left without satisfactory resolution, but because McGier really created a world that I would like to read more of.

"What happened with the sex?" you say – well, these two are no slouches in that department either. Yuri knows where his bread is buttered and he’s definitely taking care of business (if ya know what I mean).

Happy Reading Folks!
