The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake

Riding The Blue is a New Adult, Historical Fiction, Romance by Raye Murphy coming your way in January 2024. It's 1945, just after WWII has ended, and four women in their twenties unknowingly originate the role of the flight attendant as we came to know it. Their endurance, friendship, and personal lives are put to the test as they step into a lime light they had not anticipated. In the midst of mayhem in both the clouds as well as below, love threatens to expose one of them, neglect another, and it comes hard for our leading lady Jane, forcing her to trust in a way she never has before. Just when you thought the 1960's women's lib brought us "the mile high club" along with Pan Am and the pencil skirt... this journey in the sky takes a look at the women who wore one first. They've been called 'The Greatest Generation," those who grew up during the great depression, then battled World War II. These for women survived it all and came out lighting cigars, pouring martinis and spending thirty thousand feet in the air on display for elite male passengers. "The line must have wrapped around two Manhattan blocks. I'd never seen so many girls...well, women. There were actresses and dancers sent from casting. Several of the Rockettes were there. University and sorority gals, baby nurses and young women from the Red Cross. There must have been girls from all fifty states. At that time, with the war just ending, if you weren't married, a school teacher, a secretary or had a job at the telephone company, what else could you do but get in a line like that? Like what precisely, we weren't certain. Anything I knew about it was written on a sign when I got near the front of the line. It said: NO SQUEAKY VOICES, NO THICK ANKLES, NO GUMMY SMILES... Oh, and at the bottom it said you can't ever have been married before. That, and something about an age limit that was per their discretion." --- the last surviving Stewardess
