"An amusing satirical vampire romance"
Luc started by writing historical books that have been
well received by
universities, in which academia applauded his eye for
detail as if he
were there; which he was. Recently, he has written
three "fictional"
accounts of romances that are actually biographies of
family members. Last year Luc's long time editor passed away replaced by
his assistant
Kate Leever. She wants Luc to go on tour, but he ignores
her, feeling
she will not use him to make her career. However, Kate
arrives at his
home to push her position in person, believing a tour
would push sales
to stratospheric levels. However, his traveling phobia
has more to do
with a certain vampiric condition that makes him need to
hide somewhat
from the public, though Kate pushes him to attend the RT
convention.
Soon Luc wants to come out of the vampire closet because
he has the
craving to write one more happy ending love story starring
himself and
his editor. SINGLE WHITE VAMPIRE is an amusing satirical tale that
pokes fun at the
romance book industry. The story line leaves no book
uncovered as it
barrels though icons in a humorous manner. The lead
couple is a
charming duet who finds love in the obvious locale, the
annual RT
convention. Romance readers and industry insiders will
apreciate this
tale that ironically spoofs the genre that has brought
acclaim to author
Lynsay Sands.
