Legally Undead, available May 27 from World Weaver Press
A reluctant vampire hunter, stalking New York City as only a scorned bride can.
Elle Dupree has her life all figured out: first a wedding, then her Ph.D., then swank faculty parties where she’ll serve wine and cheese and introduce people to her husband the lawyer.
But those plans disintegrate when she walks in on a vampire draining the blood from her fiancé Greg. Horrified, she screams and runs--not away from the vampire, but toward it, brandishing a wooden letter opener.
As she slams the improvised stake into the vampire’s heart, a team of black-clad men bursts into the apartment. Turning around to face them, Elle discovers that Greg’s body is gone—and her perfect life falls apart.

Excerpt:
We
walked all the way to the end of the hall and Deirdre pulled a key
out from between her breasts. She caught my look and said, “I don’t
want it to be too easy to get to, pet.” Then she turned the key in
the lock and opened the door on one of the most horrible scenes I
could ever have imagined.
Malcolm’s
completely naked body hung from chains against the back wall. His
knees sagged so that his arms, stretched to their utmost, took most
of his weight. His head drooped to one side. His eyes were closed; he
didn’t try to see who had entered the room. I wasn’t sure he was
even conscious.
The
bed in the middle of the room was a tangle of sheets and blankets,
all smeared with old bloodstains. The carpet under Malcolm’s body
was also darkened with blood.
Worst
of all were the wounds. His entire body was covered in bite marks.
Big purple bruises spread out from the worst of them, painful looking
quarter-inch puncture wounds, white and ragged around the edges.
Several wounds ringed his nipples, another one punctured either side
of his bellybutton. There was one particularly livid mark on his neck
and what looked like the edges of another one on his inner thigh,
though I couldn’t see it well enough to tell how bad it actually
was. His wrists had been rubbed raw by the shackles holding him, and
underneath the chains he was pale.

Character Profile
Malcolm Owens
Age: 26
Physical description from the book: “He was, I suddenly realized, beautiful. Classically beautiful. Model beautiful. Stop-your-breath-in-your-throat beautiful.”
Quote that fits his personality: “I have to figure everything out. It’s why I’m a mathematician. I need to know how things work.”
Best quality: His willingness to step in to help someone in trouble—even if she comes barreling out of the night and knocks him over in her attempt to escape the psycho chasing her.
Worst quality: His unwillingness to believe that he might actually be in danger.
