Short Stories and Novellas entice readers to go from one story to the next. To enjoy. To savor. That is every author's hope. The hope for the conventional fiction writer. However, for the unconventional method, the author entreats the reader to read each story wide eyed with a fast beating heart - to be scared to death. Almost. The Short Stories "The Bum's Rush" is a different handling of a werewolf story - not a man, but a savvy woman. "The Devil's Axe" is about a young man who makes his unintentional bargain with the devil. "Checkmate" is how a young man meets a woman of indescribable beauty who only wants him for her breakfast. "The White Haired Man" appears to a construction supervisor in a forested area that causes the supervisor to question his sanity. The Novella "The Moon Cries Blue Tears" This story involves Spencer Jamison, a vampire who has been a vampire since 1655, from England. The story is present day, but with historic treatments of Spencer's life. To begin the story, Spencer is in North Carolina. It is almost the dark hour.

They are at an open-air amphitheater to enjoy a string quartet of classic music. All seems to be in Spencer's favor, until during the concert, he gets a cell phone buzz from someone he hadn't heard from since his making! Angus, his creator in 1655, contacts Spencer to warn him. He warns of a rogue vampire that wants to kill Spencer for ancient vampire reasons. This book is about a werewolf, the devil, a ghost and vampires - Oh my. Enjoy, unless you're too scared.
