A little publishing fame and fortune. She doesn’t believe in the paranormal. Especially not comic book creatures of the night. But when a new client pulls Kismet into the vampire underworld, and introduces her to gorgeous Devereux, who claims to be an 800-year-old vampire, Kismet finds herself up to her neck in the undead. Not to mention all the other weird stuff crawling out of Denver’s supernatural Pandora’s Box. And if being attracted to a man who thinks he’s an ancient bloodsucker isn’t bad enough, someone – or something – is leaving a trail of blood-drained dead bodies. Then there’s handsome FBI profiler Alan Stevens who rocks Kismet’s world in more ways than one. He thinks the murderer is a vampire. But they don’t exist, right?Denver Psychologist Kismet Knight counsels vampires. Her life changed forever when she discovered a preternatural underworld, met Devereux, the powerful leader of a vampire coven, and was forced to rethink her notions of “reality.”Still adjusting to her new role as an expert on all things paranormal, she schedules what she believes is simply another radio interview. She couldn’t be more mistaken. Not only does the radio host behave very strangely, but an ominous, on-air call from day-walking vampire Lyren Hallow turns Kismet’s world upside-down -- again.Shortly thereafter, Maxie Westhaven, a tabloid newspaper reporter in search of a juicy story, befriends Kismet, leading her into a bizarre world of role players, lost souls and death. Enter Victoria Essex, Devereux’s building manager and resident witch, who discloses a startling secret of her own.Meanwhile, Luna, Devereux’s hostile femme fatal personal assistant, recognizes a perfect opportunity to throw a wrench into her boss’s blossoming relationship with the human psychologist, and, to complicate matters further, Kismet’s old boyfriend, self-absorbed Psychologist Tom Radcliffe, shows up with his own outlandish request.Visit my Website: http://www.lyndahilburn.com See this blog for my other blog listings. In addition to being a paranormal fiction author, I make my living as a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, professional psychic/tarot reader, university instructor and workshop presenter.I love writing about paranormal creatures! Especially vampires. I also enjoy writing about psychics, ghosts, expanded senses, and all things metaphysical.Check out my short stories at www.thewildrosepress.com.For a taste of steamier vampire stories, check out author Hera St. Aubyn. Here's her MySpace address: www.myspace.com/herastaubyn and her blog: http://herastaubyn.blogspot.comBlurb for "Diary of a Narcissistic Bloodsucker," available at The Wild Rose Press, www.thewildrosepress.com. Told in first person by the vampire herself (Zara), this is the diary of an ancient, self-absorbed, yet-amusing nightwalker. She lusts for both sex and blood. Unfortunately, something has gone awry and her normal habits now create new problems to solve. In the midst of sorting things out, she meets an intriguing human named Niven -- a musician who lives in the magical kingdom of contemporary Boulder, CO -- and discovers that he is much more than he appears to be. Then, if things weren't interesting enough, Zara encounters her old mentor/lover -- the vampire who originally turned her -- and things get downright supernatural.
