The Vampires, the Vampire Hunter, and the Witch in Blackpool, England

 “Good morning, Jack,” I said pleasantly.

I turned to Samantha and then glanced at Ryan.

“May I introduce my old friend, Jack Mason,” I said to them both.

Jack sat down beside Ryan smoothly, and the hunter shifted uneasily in his chair, moving away from the strange visitor. Samantha stared in surprise.

“You’re a vampire,” she said quietly.

Jack smiled and nodded, and then turned towards Ryan.

“And you must be the hunter I have heard so much about,” he said confidently, “I am familiar with your organization, although I have not yet come across your name on their records. Are you one of the selected elite?”

Ryan frowned and his energy spiked defensively.

“How do you know about us?” he asked in a low voice.

Jack’s smile faded.

“I am a police detective,” he announced, “And I came to Blackpool yesterday when we received word about a series of murders with suspiciously similar causes of death.”

Vampire of Blackpool by Catherine Green


The vampire, the witch, and the hunter battle it out in a contemporary Gothic adventure in Northern England.

Meredith Hanson lives in Blackpool, the former Victorian holiday hotspot of Northern England. She masquerades as a reclusive author, feeding on the blood of unsuspecting tourists without remorse. Her life takes on new meaning when she meets a young witch in a local pub one evening. Despite Meredith’s cold demeanor, she finds herself oddly fascinated with Samantha Morris, and falls into an accidental relationship with the girl. It is at this time that a vampire hunter arrives in Blackpool. He is tough, he is determined, and his next target is an ancient vampire that has been spotted in the tourist town. He intends to bring her down and destroy her to save the lives of innocent humans. Will he succeed? Or will the experienced vampire seductress be the cause of his undoing?




Excerpt


“What are you doing here, Meredith?” Samantha asked.
            I smiled but said nothing. Samantha looked at Ryan James. She frowned.
            “Did you do this to him?” she asked, moving forward but keeping the bed as a barrier between me and her.
            She leaned forward, appraising her patient with a professional eye. She took in the sling on his arm, the cuts and bruises all over his skin, and the large bandage on his left shoulder. She reached over and carefully lifted a corner of it, and her eyes widened. She knew the truth.
            “Why did you do this?” she asked, “And why are you here now?”

Hunting the Hunted - An Excerpt from my #NaNoWriMo WIP

Sometimes I forget that not everybody knows my characters the same way that I do. My Redcliffe series has given me a whole new group of fictional friends that live in a part of my psyche where their lives are real, at least in some alternate universe. It is the same for my characters from other novels, including The Vampire of Blackpool (still seeking a publisher), and my latest work in progress, Hunting the Hunted. To that end I have decided to share an excerpt from my current novel, so that you see a little of the madness I was working with during #NaNoWriMo. Enjoy!



We watched our hunters race along the pavement, disappearing from view as the uniformed police officers followed them. The police were fast. They sent their armed officers after the hunters, and the others quickly closed off the street and worked to ensure their precious human civilians were safe. I leaped up onto the roof of the high building, and Lottie followed. We strode across the base of the sloping roof, and I reached out telepathically to locate my prey. I sensed William almost immediately. He was running down a narrow alley between a hotel and an office building, with his sister close behind. The police were still following them. And they had reached a dead end. I leaped across the wide expanse of road, high enough that the humans below would not see me, and I landed on a high balcony just in time to see my hunters being arrested. William was shouting at them not to grab his injured shoulder, and Samantha was shouting something about them being private investigators. It didn’t help. They were bundled roughly into the back of the waiting police van, having first been relieved of their weapons by the law enforcers. I stood in the shadows and observed the spectacle.
“There you are,” Lottie said as she swooped down to land beside me, “You are fast, for an old vampire!”
