Characters in Stroganoff

In my new book, Countess Irene Von Stroganoff, the Eastern European-ish setting is a nod to Count Dracula, and also to Irene Iddlesby, intentional or not, one of the funniest books ever.

I hate it when you want are considering a book and they spoil it. So I will cleverly let you peek at some characters in the story without wrecking it for you.

Countess Irene is showing all of the signs of being a vampire.

Count Graf, her husband is concerned about the negative publicity of the Countess's vampirism, so tries to deny it. He is actively seeking allies to oppose Lord Cornfoot the Annoying.

Viscount Graffy is their son. He is a well-read young boy who helps bring some sense into the situation.

The Constable is charged with keeping the peace in an impossible situation.

Storm Mayhem is a vampire slayer. He wants everyone to know about his expertise.

Kyle is a fancy lad.

Jayne Doux is the Chambermaid who shows genuine concern to the Countess's situation.

Lord Cornfoot is determined to kill the Countess because of her being a vampire. He is actively seeking allies to help in this effort.

Be very afraid of: The Brothers Spagnolo, Heinrich Malankoff, Rayne Hellspawn, Foetus Interfector, and Doctor Saveli Zernebog. Just sayin'.

Throw in a mix of Vikings, Samurai, Vandals, and Gorovians, and you have plenty of diverse viewpoints to create enough tension to keep things lively throughout the story.
