Знакомьтесь - Кристин Фихан. Американка, мать 11 детей, автор более 30 книг и 5 циклов. Публикуется с 1999 года. Как она это все успевает?
Правда, пишет она всякую любовно-фэнтезийную мистику (paranormal romances), которая на Западе печатается в мягких обложках. Но все равно, она так Орлова перещеголяла, и жанровых премий имеет достаточное количество. Естественно, не "Локусы", "Хьюги" и "Небьюлы", а всякие PEARL Awards (Paranormal Excellence Awards for Romantic Literature - 10 штук, как минимум, причем 3 - за дебютный роман) и даже Career Achievement Award (за вклад в жанр) от "Romantic Times". Регулярно попадает во всякие списки бестселлеров.
"Гелеос" издал две ее книжки из "Темного цикла", причем 4-ю и 7-ю (из 18-ти) - "Темная сила" и "Темная мечта".
Герои цикла - Carpathians, древняя могущественная раса оборотней и долгожителей. У нас ее перевели как "карпатскую расу", но я бы из общей вредности предложил "карпатцев" или "карпатунов". Живут они понятно где ;)
"The Dark Series introduces the Carpathians, a powerful and ancient race. They have many gifts, including the ability to shape-shift, and extended life spans, living over 1000 years. Though they feed on human blood, they don't kill their human prey, and for the most part live among humans without detection. Despite their gifts, the Carpathians are on the edge of extinction. There have been few children born to them in the past few centuries, and those that have been born are all male and often die in the first year. It has been more than 500 years since a female has been born. In the absence of their female counterparts, also known as "lifemates", male Carpathians lose the ability to feel emotions and to see in color. The only feeling left to them is the thrill of making a kill. Once a male has done this, he loses his soul and "turns", becoming the monster of human legend, the vampire or the "undead". With so few females left, males are forced to make a stark choice- either become vampire or "greet the dawn" (i.e. commit suicide)" (с)Википедия
