Wicked Game
Book #1
Late-night radio you can sink your teeth into
Recovering con artist Ciara Griffin is trying to live the straight life, even if it means finding a (shudder!) real job. She takes an internship at a local radio station, whose late-night time-warp format features 1940s blues, 60s psychedelia, 80s Goth, and more, all with an uncannily authentic flair. Ciara soon discovers how the DJs maintain their cred: they’re vampires, stuck forever in the eras in which they were turned.
Ciara’s first instinct, as always, is to cut and run. But communications giant Skywave wants to buy WVMP and turn it into just another hit-playing clone. Without the station—and the link it provides to their original Life Times—the vampires would “fade,” becoming little more than mindless ghosts of the past. Suddenly a routine corporate takeover becomes a matter of life and un-death.
To boost ratings and save the lives of her strange new friends, Ciara re-brands the station as “WVMP, the Lifeblood of Rock ’n’ Roll.” In the ultimate con, she hides the DJs’ vampire nature in plain sight, disguising the bloody truth as a marketing gimmick. WVMP becomes the hottest thing around—next to Ciara’s complicated affair with grunge vamp Shane McAllister. But the “gimmick” enrages a posse of ancient and powerful vampires who aren’t so eager to be brought into the light. Soon the stakes are higher—and the perils graver—than any con game Ciara’s ever played…
Bad to the Bone
Book #2
Turn On. Tune In. Drop Dead.
If you’re just joining us, welcome to radio station WVMP, “The
Lifeblood of Rock ’n’ Roll.” Con-artist-turned-station-owner Ciara
Griffin manages an on-air staff of off-the-wall DJs—including her new
boyfriend Shane McAllister—who really sink their teeth into the music of
their ‘Life Time” (the era in which they became vampires). It’s Ciara’s
job to keep the undead rocking, the ratings rolling, and the fan base
alive—without missing a beat.For Halloween, WVMP is throwing a bash sure to raise the dead. They’ve got cool tunes, hot costumes, killer cocktails—what could go wrong? Well, for starters, a religious firebrand ranting against the evils of the occult preempts the station’s midnight broadcast. Then, when Ciara tracks down the illegal transmission, the broadcast tower is guarded by what appears to be…a canine vampire? And behind it all is a group of self-righteous radicals who think vampires suck (and are willing to stake their lives on it).
Now Ciara must protect the station while struggling with her own murky relationship issues, her best friend’s unlikely romance with a fledgling vampire, and the nature of her mysterious anti-holy powers. To make it to New Year’s in one piece, she’ll need to learn a few new tricks.…
Recovering
con artist Ciara Griffin seems to finally have it all. A steady job at
WVMP, the Lifeblood of Rock 'n' Roll. A loving relationship with the
idiosyncratic but eternally hot DJ Shane McAllister. A vampire dog who
never needs shots or a pooper-scooper. And after nine years, it looks as
if she might actually finish her bachelor's degree!
But
fate has other plans for Ciara. First she must fulfill her Faustian
bargain with the Control, the paranormal paramilitary agency that does
its best to keep vampires in line. Turns out the Control wants her for
something other than her (nonexistent) ability to kick undead ass. Her
anti-holy blood, perhaps?
Ciara's suspicions are confirmed when she's assigned to a special-ops
division known as the Immanence Corps, run by the Control's oldest
vampire and filled with humans who claim to have special powers. To a
confirmed skeptic like Ciara, it sounds like a freak fest. But when a
mysterious, fatal virus spreads through Sherwood—and corpses begin to
rise from their graves—Ciara will not only get a crash course in
zombie-killing, but will be forced to put her faith, and her life
itself, in the hands of magic. Book #3.5 (e-novella)
Blood Is Thicker Than Slaughter
Con artist-turned-radio-station-manager Ciara Griffin hopes to settle into a normal un-life as a fledgling vampire, with the help of her immortally hot fiancĂ©, grunge DJ Shane McAllister. But she has bigger problems than finding a sane blood donor and a new home for those boxes of mac ’n’ cheese. Ciara’s best friend mourns her like she’s dead instead of undead, and her own maker clearly wishes she’d never been born (again). Worst of all, the WVMP crew calls a Code Black: hippie vampire DJ Jim has murdered a pair of humans—humans who share Ciara’s true last name.
That’s when trouble rolls out the red carpet, straight into Ciara’s life. At Shane’s first live concert, Ciara finds herself face to face with her Irish Traveller cousins, a not-so-welcome family reunion that might hold the key to Ciara’s anti-holy blood. Jim’s spiral into madness makes Ciara an unwilling prize in his deadly feud with Shane. As Ciara clings to what’s left of her humanity, she’ll need her new vampire strength—and old con artist cunning—now more than ever.
Ciara’s con-artist parents taught her three
keys to survival: keep low, keep quiet, and most of all, keep moving.
But managing WVMP, the Lifeblood of Rock ’n’ Roll—not to mention
becoming a vampire herself—has kept her in one place long enough to fall
madly in love, adopt an undead dog...
. . . and make more enemies than she can shake a stake at.A psychotic DJ, a wanna-be necromancer, and a posse of vengeful hippies would all love to see Ciara get her day in the sun—literally. To protect Ciara, her fiancĂ©, Shane, has traded his flannel shirt and guitar for a flak jacket and crossbow. If she survives to walk down the aisle, will she recognize the man waiting at the altar?
In this final chapter of the award-winning WVMP RADIO series, Ciara must decide who to trust, who to love—and who to kill.
