~~ now available ~~

A couple months ago, Will ended his engagement with He Who Shall Never Be Mentioned. Since then he’s kept to himself, brooding.

Then his friend, Karloff, brought him a pumpkin spiced latte and told him it was October.

Now dressed as a vampire hunter, Will is ready to return to the world. He and Karloff plan to attend a friend’s Halloween party, drink lattes, and party like it’s 1899 (that was a good year for horror, right?).

Karloff, though, is sending odd signals Will’s way. Maybe he’s starting to find him attractive. Maybe the ring Karloffs grandfather left him is cursed and is slowly turning him into a vampire. Maybe Will’s imagining things.

Maybe he’s not.

It’s out!

~~~~

If October has a flavor, it would be pumpkin.

Pumpkin spiced lattes, pumpkin burgers, pumpkin pancakes. Everywhere Preston looks, the world is offering him pumpkins.

If you ask his husband of eight months, the best place to get said pumpkins is at a patch. Someplace that you have to drive for hours to get to, where scarecrows watch you pick out the best ones and corn mazes wait nearby.

After learning that Preston has never been to a pumpkin patch, Keith makes a new vow. A renown workaholic, he will take off from work early and take him to his favorite pumpkin patch.

Preston is excited. Knowing Keith’s schedule, he’s also wary… If you ask Preston, he’ll believe this pact when he’s standing waist deep in pumpkins. If you ask Keith, that sounds kind of kinky.

Coming soon... maybe Friday, maybe Saturday. When I know more, I'll post it :) ~~ blurb-y times ~~ They say that behind every great witch is a familiar. Well, actually, no one says that, but eight-year-old Dominic Abernathy thinks they should. He's studied the ancient spell for two years and is ready to cast it. With luck, he'll soon bring his stuffed tiger, Blaise, to life. And with a little more luck, his attempts to cast it won't kill anyone.

Riley waited months to get his hands on the next Van Helsing book. Now that he has, he can't wait to talk to someone about it. Problem is, no one else has finished the book. Trapped with his own thoughts--argh!--Riley eagerly agrees to meet his former fiancé, Erik, for coffee. Erik has just finished reading the first Van Helsing book and wants to talk to someone about it. Riley is only to happy to talk. The problem is, Erik is his former fiancé for a reason, and that reason is not because he's a handsome man who likes the same book he likes and likes coffee as much as Van Helsing's Dimitri does and, um... They're just meeting to talk about Van Helsing. Really. Riley is mostly sure of that. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075J9ZT72/ref=oh_aui_d_detailpage_o00_?ie=UTF8&psc=1

White the writing for the Foodie Games is taking a little longer than I thought it would, the revision is going REALLY WELL. So well, in fact, that I was inspired for a little prequel.

Ever wonder how Domninic and Blaise met? Here’s a peek…

~~ snippet ~~

goat cheese toast

.

¼ c goat cheese

4 slices of french bread

1/8 c honey

Pinch of salt

.

Set stuffed tiger on chair in kitchen. Parents don’t like it when I cook alone. I’m not :)

Preheat the oven to 350.

Carefully cut the french loaf into ½ inch slices.*

Spread goat cheese on the bread.

Put bread on cookie sheet and place in the oven.

Sit with stuffed tiger (aka Blaise). Drink hot chocolate together.

Well, I drink, he just sits there. If he was alive he’d love hot chocolate, though. And grilled cheese and scones and Hammer horror movies. He’d like everything I like and stay up all night talking to me. It’d be great.

Bake the toast for five minutes. You can go a minute longer if you like your toast really crunchy.

When the toast is out, pour honey over the toast.

Offer toast to family. Ignore comments about knife cuts.**

Watch everyone take their toast and leave. Parents have to run to work. Brother has to babysit and he thinks he can do that from the other end of the house, while playing video games.

Sit and eat remaining toast with stuffed tiger. At least he’s not leaving.***

.

* DON’T cut yourself. Parents and older brother aren’t in the room but when they see that you made them a yummy treat, they’ll focus on the part where you used a knife by yourself. You must be careful to show how mature you are. This will be very helpful later when you do need to cut yourself. Blood spills are for casting spells to create a familiar, not for food.

** SEE? This is why you have to be careful.

*** if he was alive, would he?

~~ coming August 25 ~~

Ever since Riley discovered the Van Helsing series, he’s been itching to get the next book.

The series helped him move on from a failed engagement and he wants to see what will happen to his OTP, Stephan Van Helsing and Dr. Dimitri Alucard. If Riley can’t have a HEA, he wants them to.

Now at a midnight release party at a bookstore, Riley drinks cool things like blood mochas and waits. In a few hours, he’ll have the new book in his hands.

Until then he just has to deal with playful vampires, the cute guy sitting at a nearby table, and a friend who thinks he should talk to the cute guy sitting at a nearby table.

I previously released under my actual name (Luisa Prieto). I've since extended the story into a series. The first one's out now; the next will be out in three weeks (sooner if I can get the muse to work with me ;).
