It is 1905, and young Johann is leaving his home, family, and shame behind him in the Black Forest of Germany to seek his fortune in America. With a generous employer and a well-suited profession waiting for him, what else will he find hiding in the towering trees and shimmering rivers of the Appalachian wilds of North Carolina? Pain, love, and unimaginable strangeness hover outside the light of campfires at night and are whispered about over fine china and champagne flutes. The shy, serious young Johann must hold himself together as the darkness of the forest draws him in with beckoning eyes and sharp claws.
This tale is a slow developing romance with supernatural elements that will eventually appear, I promise. Enjoy the romance and the beauty while it lasts.

How the Last Vampire Died: A Tale of Love, Blood, and Betrayal
A long time ago, in a distant land, there was a kingdom both grand and beautiful by day, yet terrifying by night. During the daylight hours, the kingdom bustled with life, its streets vibrant and its people content. But when the sun dipped below the horizon, an unsettling silence fell, and not a soul dared step outside. For in the shadows of the night, a vampire of chilling beauty and terror would emerge from the dark woods, his footsteps echoing through the empty streets. His name was Florian, and he hunted with a ruthless, mesmerizing grace. If his victim was a man, his fate was sealed-death would come swiftly, and his blood drained without mercy. But if his victim was a woman, the vampire would first enchant her with his otherworldly charm, drawing her closer until, with a cruel whisper, he would drink her life away, leaving nothing but an empty shell behind. Before dawn's first light touched the sky, Florian would retreat into the forest, vanishing like a nightmare forgotten in the morning's warmth. Hundreds of knights and guards had tried to end his reign of terror, but none succeeded. Florian was a ghost, always one step ahead, evading death at every turn. Yet, unbeknownst to him, his end was nearer than he imagined-and it would not come at the hand of a knight.Complete
