Real Vampires Don't Sparkle (67 page)

As an adult, Amy continued to write. She attempted several different majors, including Linguistics, Math Education, English and (currently) Computer Science, at three different universities. While some might call this fickleness, Amy prefers to think of it as gaining life experiences. Writing still remains a priority, which might explain why nothing else would stick. She draws inspiration from her family. Humor is the defense mechanism of choice and it is either keep up or be run over. The culture of wit and snark is reflected in Amy’s love of dialogue and the sarcastic tone that runs through all of her writing. Amy’s works focus on the supernatural in a modern setting.

Amy lives in Maine with her cat (named CAT) and her collection of key-chains. She enjoys making eclectic art, watching sci-fi, and indie music. She does not own a TV, because she spends way too much time on the internet and it was one or the other. Her favorite author is Terry Pratchett.

)

Cara Devon has always suffered curiosity and impetuousness, but tangling with a serial killer might cure that. Permanently.

London, 1861. Impoverished noble Cara has a simple mission after the strange death of her father—sell off his damned collection of priceless artifacts. Her plan goes awry when aristocratic beauties start dying of broken hearts, an eight inch long brass key hammered through their chests. A killer hunts amongst the nobility, searching for a regal beauty and an ancient Egyptian relic rumored to hold the key to immortality.

In a society where everyone wears a mask to hide their true intent, Cara must figure out who to trust, before she makes a fatal mistake.

There are no simple cases. Jacob “Jolly” Fellows knows this.

The London of 1888, the London of steam engines, Victorian intrigue, and horseless carriages is not a safe place nor simple place… but it’s his place. Jolly is a thief catcher, a door-crashing thug for the prestigious Bow Street Firm, assigned to track down a life sized automatic ballerina. But when theft turns to murder and murder turns to conspiracy, can Jolly keep his head above water? Can a thief catcher catch a killer?

Emmanuel Ortiz holds an ancient and dark secret: his real name is Judas Iscariot. Forced to walk the earth as a cursed immortal, Judas’ disguise as Emmanuel does little to ease his eternal loneliness.

But when the brutal murders ascribed to Jack the Ripper in poverty-stricken Whitechapel, London in 1888, he recognizes the bloody signature of killing that speaks to the unholy talents of a fellow immortal… an enemy from long ago.

Quite Contrary, by Richard Roberts

The secret of having an adventure is getting lost. Well, Mary is lost. She is lost in the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and that is a cruel story. She's put on the red hood and met the Wolf. When she gives in to her Wolf's temptations, she will die. That's how the story goes, after all.

Unfortunately for the story – and the Wolf – this Little Red Riding Hood is Mary Stuart, and she is the most stubborn and contrary twelve year old the world has ever known. Forget the Wolf's temptations, forget the advice of the talking rat trying to save her, she will kick her way through every myth and fairy tale ever told until she finds a way to get out of this alive.
