Hello and welcome to the Hump Day Hook. I have decided to
share an excerpt from my current work in progress, a novel with a very vague
title at the moment. In fact, the whole story is quite vague. For some strange
reason my Muse has deserted me, but I am determined not to give up on this one!
Here is a sample from the beginning of the novel, and the protagonist of this
story is Dr Jennifer Worthington, The Vampire Hunter.
Her history professor, Dr Kate Morrigan, had tried to
warn Jennifer. She had managed to
accidentally disturb the young couple many times before their fateful first
kiss. Of course, she failed in her
attempts. Jennifer had pursued Matthew
with a vigour that frightened her. She
had never chased a boy before. Then
again, she had never met a boy like Matthew.
He was romantic, passionate, and he seemed to know a lot about the Tudor
family that she was so fascinated by.
Sometimes he spoke as though he knew them personally, telling stories of
life at court as though they were memories.
When Jennifer finally found out that he was a vampire, it all fell into
place. He had known the Tudors. He was ancient. Matthew Ancory was a very old man in a very young body, and he
had tried to turn Jennifer into a vampire to be with him. Fortunately for her, Dr Morrigan had
intervened at the right time, armed with a crossbow and wooden stakes. The vampire had escaped, but Jennifer’s life
changed forever.
