Just a small frisson of startled excitement when I found my story BITE NIGHT – which isn’t out until Dec 1 – already has a bit of an enthusiastic buzz going at Goodreads!

It’s my contribution to the Dreamspinner Press Advent Calendar this year. A story in your inbox every day! or pick the individual ones you’d like to read at your convenience.

And BITE NIGHT kicks off the fun and romance on Day 1 :).

I don’t have an individual buy link yet, but here’s the blurb…

Creatures of the Night and Santa’s Christmas duties don’t mix. Every myth and bedtime story tells you so.

But on Christmas Eve, when the Elves walked off the job over pension rights, it was time for me—Irwin, the only vampire on Santa’s payroll, despite recent diversity initiatives—and my trusty team to help out. Just deliver a few parcels, Santa asked me. Just help out on your local patch. Just for one night.

Armed with my reluctance to face all that human sentimentality, and accompanied by a wise-cracking werewolf and an unruly fairy with a taste for vodka, I did my best. Honest.
But we were heading for disaster until I came face-to-face with cute babysitter Benny. It’s Santa’s Number One Rule—no interaction with the clients. But Benny somehow managed to upset my appetite, inflame my libido, and restore my faith in the Christmas spirit, with one cheeky smile and a tasty body piercing.

It’s Christmas, and the show must go on!
