My new novel "The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is now available on Amazon via Kindle Direct as a KDP Selection - www.amazon.com/dp/B00M0DUI8YFrank Flutie is a lexicographer who has waged war on the "perils of adultolescence" by leaving a high-paying job as a copywriter for an advertising company called The Banker and taking a low-paying job in a bookstore instead, ostensibly so he can write the first ever all sexual dictionary.
The "war" (and his dictionary), however, aren't going particularly well and, under the stress of his "self-imposed exile" from affluence, Frank has become petty and fatalistic -- "a shit hoarder whose dictionary would be better utilized as a flyswatter, a doorstop, or a paperweight".
Always broke, but too proud to accept charity, he rarely sees his few friends and cannot get the virginal Marlene in bed because (or so he believes), "If you got no dough, no woman will love you."
On the mantle in Frank's shabby apartment is a sickly but unkillable pet sea lamprey -- a jawless fish he abhors as the banner of the sort of "clockwork universe" he is fleeing from in his downward spiral.
In the course of his misadventures, we become grindingly aware that his radical solution to the problem of the money-world is no solution at all -- that in his desperate reaction against a monstrous system, he has become something of a monster himself.
"The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is a behemoth valentine to Boston and a gritty, sprawling, depiction of today's recession-inflicted state of affairs.

My book is called Awakening Her Vampire Blood, it's available on Kindle. www.amazon.com/Midnight-Taylor/e/B00M...
Since her parents' untimely death, Emilia has been living life as a recluse. Her uncle does his best to watch over her and keep her safe from the dangers associated with their family's darkest secret. Unbeknownst to her, she is a very valuable treasure to most vampires and it takes everything her uncle and his friend have to keep her safe from the savage vampires that heed to her blood's strong call.
Kayne is a strong vampire warrior and heir to the Sanguinarian throne. He bears no desire for the throne and only cares about two things, finding his mother's murderers and taking down the Malus, savage vampires that threaten to expose the existence of vampires to humans. He finds himself in a town down south following a trail of missing humans only to discover far more than he'd anticipated.
As Kayne and Emilia's worlds collide they find a connection but can they hold onto it as the Malus throw the town into a panic and the powerful vampire behind the Malus steps out from the shadows with his sights set on Emilia?
