I can't believe I've published five books. đŸ„č

I always wanted to write a vampire book, but this one was more fun than I could've ever imagined writing. Jules is a disaster, Saint is sweet, and I really enjoyed writing all of the characters (including making them all suspicious). I'm looking forward to writing more standalone books within this universe about other vampires, witches, werewolves, and demons 👀 đŸ–€

A pile of paperback books, including Familiar by Cara Nox, on a black tray with white woven star lights and a stack of hardcovers off to the side, next to a fake plant.

"Greetings," I said to the rather tall trick-or-treater, "What an amazing costume!"

"Brrr..." they murmured.

"Yes, it IS cold out. What would you like?"
I held out the bowl. Kids loved to pick their own.

"Brrainss!"

"Great choice, oops you seem to be having trouble grabbing it. Here you go... one gummi brain! I have plenty, tell your friends, muahaha!"

A lot more tall kids in zombie costumes showed up that night; glad I stocked up!

As the candles blew out, something thumped in the center of the circle.

One teen grabbed their phone, shedding light on a body.

The group screamed and scrambled for the exit, leaving the daydreamer, who hadn't been paying attention to the ritual, behind.

Wings uncurled, and the demon stood, glowering.

"Hi! Want some candy? It's licorice bats and marshmallow skulls," she offered cheerily.

The demon shrugged, accepting the offering.

Book Quote Wednesday's word is 'miss'

Unwanted visits from the police were something Dan was hoping to get away from on this holiday. No such luck.
This time tomorrow, you can find out what's going on...

Cover art by Ben Baldwin shows a creature crouching in a low tunnel entrance lined with grey stones and partly hidden by green undergrowth and white flowers. The creature has pale skin covered in sparse black hair and it looks a bit like an ape, a bit like a bear, and completely unlike either of those. A knock at the door startled us both. I looked at Fin. She looked at me. Whoever was outside knocked again. ‘Mr Mackmain? Miss Wicken?’ I went to open the door. I did my best to look discouraging. ‘Yes?’ ‘Good morning. I hope I’m not interrupting your breakfast. I just wanted to check you hadn’t been disturbed in the night?’ It was the woman who’d worn the loose shirt, denim skirt and sandals yesterday. She looked a lot more business-like in smart brown trousers and a beige jacket today. She carried a zipped leather bag on one shoulder, held close to her side with her elbow. ‘We’re fine, thanks.’ I didn’t move out of the doorway. She showed me her police warrant card with a pleasant smile. ‘May I come in?’ I wanted to say no, but that wouldn’t be very sensible. I stepped back and opened the door wider. I wondered if one of our temporary neighbours had seen us get into the Toyota and rung the cops to tell them we were trying to leave.

Right now, Dan's worried that something he hasn't thought of is about to derail his plans.

And if you haven't already taken advantage of this month's Amazon UK ebook offer, make sure you don't miss out on that.

Cover art by Ben Baldwin shows a lethal, pale-scaled serpent-dragon or wyrm lurking in woodland. It looks straight at you as its forked tongue flickers between open, sharp-toothed jaws. Book extract reads: My mobile started ringing not far from the motorway. I let it go to voicemail. The last thing I needed was a fine and points on my licence for taking a call when I was driving. I didn’t want to get into an accident either. My phone rang again though, and a third time. A few minutes later, the phone told me I had a text. And another text. This couldn’t be good. I saw a safe place to stop and pulled over. I turned off the engine and checked my phone. Three missed calls from Eleanor, and two texts saying ‘Call me AT ONCE’. Shit. Had something happened to Fin? Fin and Blanche? Otherwise Blanche would be calling, wouldn’t she, or Iris? Wouldn’t Zan have turned up? My heart was pounding as I returned Eleanor’s call. ‘Hi. What’s—ʌ ‘Daniel, good.’ She spoke over me, crisp and official. ‘What time do you think you’ll be back?’ ‘Some time between seven and eight, depending on the traffic.’ I heard Eleanor repeat that to someone else. At least two people were with her. ‘Tomorrow morning will be fine,’ one of the voices said.

„Obwohl der Mond nur aus einer schmalen Sichel besteht, scheint er so hell zu leuchten wie ein Vollmond und taucht die Landschaft gemeinsam mit den Myriaden von Sternen, die weit ĂŒber uns den Himmel erleuchten, in ein mystisches, magisches Licht.“ 🌒

For no other reason than boneheaded exuberance did it seem like a good idea to play catch with my great grandmother's fiercely protected geode - it had a good heft and shape.

We didn't consider how painful the glittering angles would hurt on landing with the assistance of velocity.

So one toss in, it and the floor ended up cracked.

It released my great grandpa's spirit - it didn't take long to figure out why he'd been found poisoned.

Familiar, a book with a red cover from a spilled vector coffee cup in the corner with the title lettering resembling simplistic fangs dripping blood, on a black wooden tray with white woven star lights and a black and gold mug.
