The Community Vampire Series

It is Thanksgiving Eve and I just wanted to take a minute to list just five things I am thankful for this year. I am thankful for my children Both my daughters are amazing young women and I am thankful every day that they are who they are. They never cease to amaze me and make me proud.  I am thankful for my husband He can drive me crazy sometimes but let's face it, we can all use a little crazy in our lives! He makes me laugh everyday. Do you laugh everyday? I do, and it's amazing. I am thankful for the rest of my family, my parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, every one of them! The memories we have made and the ones we continue to make are worth all the gold in the world, or as my mom likes to say: all the tea in China!  I am thankful for having the opportunities. I am lucky. I really am. I have had opportunities in my life that some people have never had, and I and incredibly thankful for the sacrifices that my parents made so that I could have them. I ha

Here is the first chapter of book 1. I posted the prologue the week before. If you like it and want the rest, click the little hamburger menu button and there will be links to buy the books on Amazon. Enjoy! Chapter 1 Forsythea Daniels had just made the biggest decision of her twenty-five years. She had up and left her only home in Lake George, NY for a chance at a new life as a freelance photographer on Long Island. With the trust money her grandfather had left for his only granddaughter, she had secured a place to live and a new lease on life. Goodbye small town living, goodbye expected life outcomes, and goodbye old life. She was in a town called Pellman, not exactly big city living when compared to Manhattan, but much more lively than what she was used to. Pellman was infamous for its dark deeds in the seedier parts of downtown, as well as its beautiful village with performing arts and lush shops on main street. It even had its large, million dollar estates on the water. Th

This is the prologue to Book 1, The Community: Existence   Hope you like it and it prompts you to click that little hamburger button. That is where you will find the links to purchase the ebooks or paperbacks on Amazon. Comments welcome! Mikey and Stevie met at the corner in downtown Pellman and waited for J.J. to finish up with the young girl buying her stash from him. After about a minute J.J. planted a deep kiss on her red-painted lips and sent her across the street to stand under the street light. He motioned for them to come closer. Mikey took a look at the girl across the street and smiled, “Damn J.J., that one is sweet!” J.J. laughed and knocked knuckles with his two friends. “You have no idea, man. Time for her to start earning her keep though, y’know what I mean?” “ I hear dat, man.” Mikey casually glanced around. “You got my shit?” J.J. nodded, “How much you got to spend?” “ Forty, between the two of us.” “ You havin’ a party I don’t know about?” J.J.

Welcome everyone to my blog for my books The Community Vampire Series . I am an Indie Author and presently writing my 5th book in this series. It all started in 2011, believe it or not, when I had a terrible bout of insomnia for about a year and a half. So what do you do when you cannot sleep and your mind has a crazy imagination? You write 4 books of course! The truth is, the first 2 books Existence and Lunar Attacks  were never really what I had wanted them to be. But I already had more stories to get out of my head and write down, so I never went back to them, until summer 2019. Yes, I went back and nearly doubled the size of the first book and added almost a third more to the second. It was incredibly refreshing and I am so glad I did it. So what did I add? Well, more time with other characters besides Edric and Thea. Detective Joe Gordon has a more in-depth role from the very beginning, and Mikey, a character who surprised even me with his ability to find his way into my heart

I remember when I first started writing for the public to see. A friend, and fellow Indie author says it is like standing naked in front of a crowd. We all know when we started. That very first publication sent out there, usually in cyberspace. Then we waited... and waited... and waited... for that very first taste of feedback. Knowing that our masterpiece would undoubtably be not only well received, but one of the best things ever written! Or at least we hoped. For me it was fanfiction that got me started. Specifically Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which just goes to show how much I am STILL in love with the vampire themed fantasy genre. Yes, somewhere out there are unedited versions of a lesser published me testing the waters of publication. Of course this was well before there was any such thing as ereaders, ipads, or any other tablet, except of course on Star Trek. Let us all take a moment to acknowledge the utter genius and vision of Gene Roddenberry. Which brings me to my topic o
