Seven years ago we all went through the flames; and the happiness of some of us since then is, we think, well worth the pain we endured. It is an added joy to Mina and to me that our boy's birthday is the same day as that on which Quincey Morris died. His mother holds, I know, the secret belief that some of our brave friend's spirit has passed into him. His bundle of names links all our little band of men together; but we call him Quincey. In the summer of this year we made a journey to Transylvania, and went over the old ground which was, and is, to us so full of vivid and terrible memories. It was almost impossible to believe that the things which we had seen with our own eyes and heard with our own ears were living truths. Every trace of all that had been was blotted out. The castle stood as before, reared high above a waste of desolation. When we got home we were talking of the old time-which we could all look back on without despair, for Godalming and Seward are both happily married. I took the papers from the safe where they had been ever since our return so long ago. We were struck with the fact, that in all the mass of material of which the record is composed, there is hardly one authentic document: nothing but a mass of typewriting, except the later notebooks of Mina and Seward and myselt, and van Helsing' s memorandum. We could hardly ask any one, even did we wish to, to accept these as proofs of so wild a story. Van Helsing summed it all up as he said, with our boy on his knee:- "We want no proofs; we ask no one to believe us! this boy will some day know what a brave and gallant woman his mother is. Already he knows her sweetness and loving care; later on he will understand how some men so loved her, that they did dare much for her sake." -JONATHAN HARKER.

When a night of fun leads to being thrust into a reality deemed mythical, Kaitlyn has no choice but to buckle up and enjoy the ride, especially when a man claims to be the father of the child she's carrying. *** Imagine waking up abandoned in a hotel bedroom, the smell of sex loitering the air and bare as the day you were born. No remembrance of the previous night while sporting two small mysterious holes on the side of your neck, a lingering ache distinguishing between your legs. That's how things transpired for Kaitlyn one morning; soreness and exhaustion littering her bones as evidence of her previous affairs. Time flies in the shape of a few weeks and Kaitlyn starts to feel odd. Constant vomiting, sleeping more than usual, sore feet, a drop in appetite - you name it. The first thought that arises is she may have caught a stomach flu. What she couldn't fathom was another being taking place within her womb, developing with each worrying second. This definitely wasn't a planned pregnancy. She's faced with many things exceeding the knowledge of the made-up folklore that mankind has developed over time. Thrown into a world where fictitious creatures reside, how does Kaitlyn cope with the thought of her pregnancy and the fact the man she's tangled in the sheets with is much more than a reckless fling? Misfortune and corresponding events follow Kaitlyn as she's confronted with things that will drive her to question her existence as she's swept into a world that reveals so many mysteries. ° ° ° C O V E R- @Pennywithaney T R A I L E R- @loyallyric ° ° ° ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ® © 2016-2017 by J.L Weaver ° ° ° Highest Rankings || #1 in Vampire (5/2/18) #8 in Fantasy (8/31/18)

Abner Ingleseid isn't an ordinary detective. He works solely for Hell, and being a previous resident himself, he knows the playing field pretty well. So when a group of ex-militia Demons are murdered, the race is on to find the killer before he summons an ancient, unearthly evil. But Ingleseid and his friends soon learn that the case is far more dangerous than they thought when its ties to an evil older than time itself is revealed. If Ingleseid wants to get out alive, he'll have to deal with demons, vampires, witches, fairies, zombies, the soldiers of Heaven and Hell, and even the king of the Underworld himself. Time is running out. If Ingleseid doesn't solve the case soon, he, his city, and everyone he cares about will pay the price. Cover by aishalam. Title by Everleigh_
