VAMPIRES ARE PEOPLE TOO
I’m Sadie Stanton, and I don’t know why everyone makes such a big deal out of me. I’m just like everyone else—I’m trying to start a business, not spending much time on my social life, and dealing with an obnoxious roommate...
Oh, and being a vampire. There’s that. But it’s okay, because we’re all legal now.
But believe me, that doesn’t make life easy. In fact, it might be harder now than ever before, but I did it to myself… And now vampires are attacking people seemingly at random and not even trying to feed.
Everyone is looking to me to help sort out why, but that turns pretty easy into looking for someone to blame.
Fast.
I guess I’ll need to be faster.

Urban Fantasy, First Person Sarcastic, Paranormal Suspense, Vampires, WerewolvesBLOOD ISN’T ALWAYS BLOOD
The name is Dakota. No last name. Just that.
I’m a bounty hunter, only I hunt all the things that go bump in the night. The things that others are too afraid to hunt. I live alone. I work alone. That’s how I like it. Other people just mess things up.
Life doesn’t always work the way you want it to, though, does it? Sometimes, things—or people—just get forced on you, and you just have to deal with it. Well, wise guy, how am I supposed to handle hunting an ex-lover and a freakin’ thousand-year-old vampire—at the same time?
I guess I’m about to find out.

Adelheid, Connecticut. Center for the preternatural beings in the US…which was not where I wanted to be.
I never expected it to become this back when I moved here.
My name is D, and I live in fang central. Never had much use for them, the fangs. Not until a hot chick, a hot car, and a split-second decision because I wished for more in my boring life.
Well, I got it. Sort of.
Now I’ve made some more life-changing, split-second decisions. And apparently, I’m being hunted for it.

Abduction. Torture. Surrender.
My entire life has been framed, it has been created, by eleven months when I was fourteen. It left me scarred in ways no one has ever seen before on the outside, and in ways that no one can see on the inside.
I’m grown up, have a good job as a detective, and a personal life that’s my sister and my pet rabbit. But that’s okay. Now, though… Now… Girls are showing up dead and they have all the scars I have. How am I ever going to handle looking for their killer when at every turn, I’m faced with my past?
And yet, the one who hurt me is dead…so who is doing this to these girls? How am I going to find that out without losing my mind?

And then, everything changed.
As a cop, I always knew Adelheid had a dark side. I just never thought I’d get such a close-up view of it. Never thought it would get to me like this… I never expected to be forced to fight for me life…against my own nature.

There are certain things you don't mess with.

People seem to have forgotten that.
I guess I'll just have to remind them.

We all knew this day was possible. Most of us hoped that it wouldn't happen, that it would just remain in the realm of "maybe" forever...but that hope is gone. It's happened. After years of holding back the tide of hate, somewhere a tiny break has formed in our dam and it looks more possible than ever that Cameron's Law will be ripped away from us.
Violence against us is once again on the rise. We're all terrified. Everything we did, everything we once risked... We have to do it again. Do we even have it in us?
I'm Sadie Stanton, and I have to prove to the world one more time that we are more like you than you think. That fanged or furry, we still have humanity in our soul and deserve the right...
...to live. Even those of us that don't.

One to be killed.
The year is 1767, in the province of Gévaudan, France.
For three years, the people have lived under the deadly reign of a murderous creature known as the Beast. It shows an intelligence and discernment unlike any animal ever seen, yet such bloody viciousness is surely only a monster's work. The farms and homes, the hills and forests, are no longer safe.
And yet into these forests come Tristan, the Marquis du Lyon, and Constance Marie de Marin. One to kill. One to be killed. The last thing either expects to find is each other, but can two wounded souls overcome the pain of the past and the trials of the present to be together? Can they wrest their future from the hands of men and beasts?
Can love really conquer all?

Solarpunk, Charity AnthologyBorn a Connecticut Yankee in nobody's court, K. B. Thorne grew up to brave snow and talk fast.
She started reading when she was three and never looked back, soon frequently falling asleep with a book under her cheek. At eleven, she discovered Night Mare by Piers Anthony and entered the world of grown-up fantasy fiction. As you can guess, it was all over from there. She started writing at fourteen, then met vampires as a teenager and the concept for what would become Adelheid ( now the Blood Rights Series) was soon born. Mia Darien followed a few years later, and the books were released.
However, K. B. is also a third-generation Trekkie. Somewhere in a vault at Paramount is a very angry letter written by her grandmother when Star Trek: The Original Series was cancelled, so sci-fi is in the blood too. Alongside a love of love, and an adoration for her first love of epic fantasy.
K. B. Thorne is the evolution of Mia Darien after years of learning and living. She has taken both of those things to become a smarter, better writer with a fresh new face and take on the literary world. Thorne writes the urban fantasy, fantasy and sci-fi, while Sadie Johnston writes the romance.
These days, when she's not desperately trying to find time to write, she works as a freelance editor/cover artist/formatter and happily lives her unconventional life alongside her very own Named Man of the North and their mini-tank. (Who is, you know, their son.)
