Vampires and hunters are like cats and dogs. They either tolerate each other, or they go for the throat. There isn't supposed to be a third option.
     ⋅⋆⋅
Lailoken is a powerful, ancient vampire with peculiar fog powers. He's just awoken from a long slumber in his beloved woods. He thirsts for an adventure in the modern world and brings chaos everywhere he goes. If not whimsical, then bloody... 

He crosses paths with Josie, a strong, independent woman who isn't intimidated by his fangs. With her as his guide, he's ready for his first road trip of the twenty-first century. While hunters are on their trail looking for a vampire killer on the loose, Lailoken and Josie hide out in shady motels, vampire nightclubs, and blood dens, and their friendship grows into something more.

But charming as he may be, Lailoken is a killer, and Josie has the means to bring him to justice. Trusting her may be his undoing.

Their entangled tale unfolds in a story filled with campy entertainment, romantic tension, and a fresh take on the vampire genre.

Quirky, Ricky Vera is unexpectedly sent to Durango, Colorado to spend the summer with his uncle. The fourteen-year-old's last-minute trip does nothing to alleviate the chronic anxiety he suffers. The first eventful week in Durango doesn't either. A scary incident in the woods, an odd confession from his uncle, and the discovery of an injured wolf in the basement are but a few of the heart-racing moments Ricky faces during his first week. They are also the beginnings of an amazingly unique friendship and life-altering journey! Feral is a wolf... or he used to be. He had been the curious runt of an admired but harsh Alpha. His mother's affection was the only softness in his life. Many centuries ago, during the first Thanksgiving feast, all of that changed in a night. A horrible encounter with a monstrous creature ended his wolf life as Hidden Paw and his eternal life as Feral began. When Ricky first meets Feral, he sees only an injured wolf. An avid animal lover and even more so, an obsessed wolf fanatic, Ricky overcomes his fear to help the wounded animal. When Feral sees Ricky for the first time, he thinks Ricky is a typical teenage human not worth his time. They are both wrong. The old adage, don't judge a book by its cover has never been more appropriate. Ricky comes to learn that Feral is a one-of-a-kind creature and Feral learns Ricky is not quirky and anything but average. Ricky is autistic. They find, despite being classified as 'different' by others, they have a lot more in common than they could ever have dreamed! What makes them oddities in their everyday lives makes them best friends in Durango! Bloodfang has it all! There is emotional bonding, teenage angst, animal-human communication and vampires! Bloodfang is a must read fantasy book that takes make-believe and intertwines it with real issues of this generation.

[Completed] ''I was born in flames and chaos. In one moment, I didn't exist at all. In another, air was tearing through the flesh of my lungs.'' Deep in an unknown forest, a young woman woke up alone and confused. She had no knowledge of her past, what she was, or who she was. Why was she in this world at all? Fate drove her into the hands of a family of vampires, all of whom brought relief in the slightest touch of her skin. But their touch was more than addicting. With each stroke, mysterious etches appeared on her flesh, divulging information thought to be lost to the world; information of magic, power, and a viciously murdered coven of witches. With no past and an uncertain future, she must find out her purpose in this life before the supernatural world takes her for all she has to give. Even more so, she must attempt to understand a craving she has for the dangerous vampire family she's found herself enslaved to; a craving to be touched.
