The eighth Vampire Morsel, Elsa, is now available as a free read on Smashwords.com.
Short Story. Not for children. The eighth in a collection called Vampire Morsels about different vampires from the Amaranthine universe. Twenty year old Elsa is devastated when her “true love” remorselessly skips town. When she sets off after him, she finds more than she bargained for. You can also find Claudius in Shades of Gray by Joleene Naylor.
It’s still pending approval for the extended distribution, but once it is approved it will filter through to Barnes & Noble, Kobo, etc.
You might notice the “Not suitable for children” tag. Yeah. I checked out my Barnes & Noble reviews today and for some reason several of them are complaining that these are not children’s stories. I’m not sure why anyone would think they were. I have also added “Not suitable for tweens” to my smashwords descriptions for the series because there are several posts asking about this (which is odd because I don’t see a way to reply to the questions). The simple answer is “NO! these are not tween books!” However, I have to admit if I had a tween and they really wanted to read it I’d let them, but then I was raised in a liberal household 😉
I am working on Kateesha’s story right now and hopefully will have it done and posted in the next couple of days.

/ March 14, 2012I enjoyed Elsa’s story, but for the life of me, I don’t remember her! I’ll have to go back through your books to see if I can find her. Thanks for sharing this. We’ve got a creepy fair ground like this in Detroit. It’s not the kind of place you’d want to hang out in after dark. 😉

/ March 18, 2012She’s super minor – she spies on Claudius for them, and then she is in the final fight scenes as the woman with the knives on her thighs I *think* (yeah, I get mixed up with all my revisions….)

/ March 19, 2012I found her. I to use the search mode on kindle. Electronics “can” be good for something, but don’t say that too loud, or they’ll start getting an attitude! 🙂

/ March 19, 2012LOL! yeah, i love search. It’s sick to admit this, but I use google to find the name of the drug I am allergic to. (I once posted it in a blog and when i forget the name of it I look myself up with allergic etc. and POP there it is. Sad, huh?) not that anyone cares, but it’s Atarax. I remembered this time :p

/ March 19, 2012That’s funny! My meds allergies are easy, no sulfa drugs and no codeine…oh, and of course, no red colored cough syrup, etc. It’s the breathing thing, I stop doing it with the wrong meds. 😉 Good times!!!
