EXCERPT:
Lord Bellmonte turned toward the intake officer, dripping
charm and debonair sophistication as if the unpleasant internal nastiness had
never occurred. The five humans who witnessed the unplanned reveal pretended we
hadn’t. A reason to hope for the survival of our kind. Apparently, we
occasionally let our instincts trump our curiosity.
A thick, folded bundle of papers with a gold seal on it
appeared in the vampire’s hand. “Which officer is responsible for the
apprehension of these criminals?” he asked as he handed the right-to-claim
papers to the officer.
The young cop’s expression was a little startled as she
nodded to Jim and Kyle. Kyle started to step forward more than happy to take
credit, but I was faster. My desire to stay under vampire radar was vastly
outweighed by my desperate need for cash. No way was I going to be cheated out
of my bounty fee.
“That would be me,” I said, pushing my way to the front of
the group. “Addison Kittner.”
I kept my gaze steady as Lord Bellmonte’s cold eyes swept
over me and his nostrils flared as he got my scent. Always a creepy sensation.
“How charming.” The vampire looked at me a moment longer,
obviously amused, and then his gaze slid over Lewis and the lumberjack. “The
most notorious Church renegades of the last one hundred years defeated by a
human woman, a child.”
I felt the lumberjack tense beside me, but with the collar
on him and two powerful vamp leaders just waiting for an excuse to throw him
around, there wasn’t much he could do about the verbal abuse. Lewis was too
preoccupied with staring morosely at the floor to care.
“My lady,” Lord Bellmonte said to me. “The Church is in your
debt.”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Judy Teel
lives in North Carolina with her boisterous family (husband, three kids, a dog
and a geriatric bunny). When she’s not writing, she’s doing the family thing,
horseback riding when she can, hiking occasionally, camping as much as
possible, reading, playing video games, and generally pursuing her ambition to
someday be a impressively lazy.
Judy knew she
wanted to be a novelist since she was fifteen. She’d always written stories,
but it was in 10th grade literature class during a boring lecture on Billy Budd
(sorry Mr. Melville) that it hit her—the world needed more magic in it. What
would be sweeter than writing fun, exciting stories for a living?
There have
been a lot of ups and downs since then and a lot of delays, but she’ll be the
first to tell you that you can make your dreams come true. It takes
determination and hard work, but it’s never impossible.
