Quotes from the Underworld

Book 3, The Nebulizer Potion and the Electric Compass, has been read online in a View for Review.  Here are a few quote to help you recognize and find Books 1 and 2 in the trilogy: The Vampire DeAngeliuson.

1. "Silly witches, goats are for kids!"
2. "..maybe it is I who should call around the neighborhood to let people know a vampire - my wife - is going out."
3. "In a Rock-Paper-Scissors game of Underworlders, Vampire beats Witch, anyday!"
4. "...like a scene out of the Underworld’s In Between only with the undead, night nixies and lurkers instead of trolls."
5. “"Winker's jinx! I forgot to read ahead.  How do I get out of bat form?" Jessica totters off back toward the opening of the drain pipe and waits for Crucious Port."
6. "Crucious points and yells at the Witch as she rides off, “Killer!”"
7. "“Yes, please,” Drew encourages her, “do tell me if I should run for another town.”

Wondering about Book 2?  Hopefully, these won't spoil it all for you!!

1. “And by Prestigious, you mean Vampire?…”   “You don’t have to be so condescending about it."
2. "FYI - dear readers, if you ever find yourselves alone at night with a vision who utters ‘looks like you’ve seen a ghost’ your only hope of escape is trying the secret handshake which I have, just now, divulged to you.  Afterall, anyone could just say they are - a vampire - I suppose; but, these two are for real, and trust me, they know more than just the handshake."
3. "The Witch sucks the entire thing into her mouth and spits it hard, back at him, hitting him right square in the eye."
4. "Only a Witch won't change her shoes!"
5. “O powers of cruel intentions!  I thought this door led to the way out!”  Jessica wails in disappointment.
6. "...but the door is closed and there is no sight of the beast out front.
7. “Did you shut that?” Theopolis asks Jessica."

Holy Heck it Must be Halloween?!

So, I screwed up!! At midnight, last night, I thought about checking on my newest book promotion: the FREE final book in my cyber-punk, vampire trilogy, but my bed was calling me.  After late morning Starbucks and a scone, I checked my book's Amazon page and OMG!!! No promo!! No FREE book! I had set Book 2 to FREE promo, instead?!! Book 2 had been free in the summer months - so, I had already given out 82 free e-books on that one.  Omigod-ghod-gosh!

Two hours later, I have this promo 'thing' all straightened out, on the deal.  So, if you'd like a FREE TRILOGY - be quick. Today, the Book 2 Free Promo will end (thank fright!), and then, October 28th - 31st, Book 3 will be on free promo (still 4 days, but moved down one number).  Lastly, Book 1 which was scheduled for free promo from Halloween Night to November 3rd remains on as mentioned. All calmed down, there it was like the good book 1 that it is, patiently set upon the Bookshelf, all this time, awaiting its debut as part of a trilogy - not alone like it once was, but a leader of its kind.  So love it, thank it - read it for Bub's sakes - on Halloween Night, Day of the Dead, or anytime the wind brushes limbs against the window panes moving shadows in the corners of your room while you duck under covers, safe, warm, and reading The Quill Pen Killer rather than meeting your vampire out in the night.  Unless its Halloween, and it IS the treat I'm giving at the door.

Note to self: put down the Starbucks and check on my promos at midnight next time.

Below is the cover illustration for The Quill Pen Killer, the first children's chapter novel I finished.  I had started The Faerie Ring Dance years ago, when my children were in their cribs.  I didn't finish that tale based on Irish Faerie legend until after The Quill Pen Killer, however.  This 11x17 image lives on the wall at my house.  I recently pulled it off the wall to update the e-book cover, shown here:


The DeAngeliuson Vampire Family Anthology book trailer - a sneak peek at all three e-books with a virtual family tree and images that are supposed to bring to mind a haunted mansion's hall of portraits which introduce characters to be found in the mysteries solved in the seperate books.

"Raven hurries home wondering if he'll stay friends with his childhood pal, Jessica, or if 'vampire'  is just 
too big of an obstacle."

These books are fun, humorous, and filled with mysteries which our heroine, Jessica, must solve. She doesn't much want to be involved in most of the mysteries, or even vampire life for that matter. She's bookish and smart, and simply gets to the matter of 'who did what' quicker than most, and for reasons like these, she ends up 'saving the day' (an oxymoron for an of-the-blood member of things that go bump in the night).
