Return of the Vampire Hunter is pure urban
fantasy with a hint of seduction thrown in for good measure. Set in Manchester,
Northern England, it is a contemporary story with all the darkness of classic
Gothic monsters.
Just your average Cheshire housewife – who
used to hunt vampires!
Hannah Oakley used to be a vampire hunter. She
retired from active service when she fell in love with the female vampire she
was hunting, but old wounds refuse to heal. She and the vampire fought almost
to the death, and now it seems that the vampire has tracked her down. Hannah
must return to work, grudgingly accepting help from a new hunting partner, and
she is determined that this time she will finish the job. But can she ignore
the old lust for her vampire lover? Is the mother able to be a vampire hunter
one more time? And will her marriage survive the ordeal?

Excerpt:
We were on the motorway and I was in the
passenger seat. I had been passing food to the children in the back seat, and
as I twisted back round to face forward, I glanced at James. My heart skipped a
beat and then pounded heavily as the world spun around me.
“What
is that on your neck?” I asked sharply.
James
glanced at me and then checked his mirrors as he moved into the middle lane.
“What?”
he asked absently.
“That,”
I said, “On your neck.”
I
reached across and gently touched the mark on his skin. It looked like two
small, neat puncture wounds. A vampire bite. Shit.
James
touched the bruise, winced, and then shook his head.
“I
don’t know,” he said, “I must have cut myself shaving.”
“That
is not a shaving wound,” I said.
He
glanced at me again and frowned.
“Why
are you so upset about it?” he asked curiously, “It’s nothing.”
I
stared at the tiny wound as my whole world flipped upside down. Was it Elaine?
Had she finally found me? Or was it another stray vampire? One thing was
certain; I had to return to work. This one had to be destroyed before it came
for my whole family. Gathering my senses, I shook my head and smiled.
“Oh,
forget it,” I said lightly, “It looked more serious at first, that’s all. But
if it doesn’t hurt then it doesn’t matter. Can you see the sea yet, girls?”
