WBZ Book Club with Jordan Rich Spotlights Author Raina C. Smith
A Rising Voice in Supernatural Fiction

New England author explores struggle, power, and redemption in her
​riveting vampire series, now gaining national attention

​BOSTON, MA – The WBZ Book Club with Jordan Rich features author Raina C. Smith’s latest work on one of the country's most respected and influential literary platforms. Airing on WBZ NewsRadio 1030 AM and streaming nationwide via iHeartRadio, the WBZ Book Club is known for introducing many of the nation’s most compelling authors to its extensive New England audience and beyond. The feature heralds Smith’s latest novel, “The Vampire – A Covenant for Peace” (book 2 in The Vampire series), which is a bold and timely tale of supernatural suspense, love, and spiritual reckoning.

Smith’s sixth novel continues her mythic "The Vampire" series, a soul-stirring journey where darkness and destiny collide. The narrative is richly layered, defying time and genre.

Rich said, “I love to highlight local authors who are putting out some amazing books, and today we have a prime example. Raina C. Smith hails from the great state of Rhode Island, and to suggest that she’s been rather prolific would be an understatement.” He adds that her new book is “lush, mysterious, and romantic, and fans who are waiting for a sequel are very happy there is one.”

The Vampire – A Covenant for Peace, with its vivid prose, mythic weight, and emotional resonance, continues the story of Rex, a supernatural being struggling to reconcile the darkness within him with hope for redemption in a world divided by fear and power. Rich encourages listeners to visit rainasmith.com to explore her full catalog of thought-provoking fiction.

“It’s an honor to have my work featured by the WBZ Book Club’s Jordan Rich, one of New England’s most trusted literary voices,” said Smith. “Jordan’s insight and storytelling appreciation make this recognition especially meaningful, and I am deeply grateful for his endorsement. At its core, The Vampire – A Covenant for Peace is about the human search for belonging, redemption, and transformation—and I’m grateful to share that journey with book lovers.”
