A Vampire's Tale
The Magicals Series, Book One
Struggling author Marisa Clements writes about vampires to pay the rent, but doesn’t believe they’re real until she meets Corgan Halton, an ancient vampire, who wants her to write his story even though he knows this will endanger her life.
The best laid plans…
Marisa Clements was never satisfied writing the ‘gossip column’ in the local paper and she quit her job to follow her dream of writing fiction. Floundering in an unforgiving industry, she wrote about vampires, a popular subject she considered fascinating but as real as unicorns, to pay the rent.
Corgan was tired of human misconceptions about vampires and ‘living’ as a vampire. He planned to tell Marisa his story and end his existence. It was no coincidence Corgan selected Marisa to write his story. With the ability to see the future, he knew she would be a major part of it. He knew if they met, she would help him die, but in doing so, she’d be doomed to the same fate. Once they met, their futures would be irrevocably intertwined.
Corgan began to care for Marisa and finally revealed the truth to her. He admitted his quest to atone for his past sins had put her in grave danger from a nest of revenge seeking vampires. Corgan must claim her for her own protection. But claiming her is not enough, he must ask for help from his wizard friends and his maker in order to destroy his enemy or Marisa will never be safe.

Praise for A Vampire's Tale
"...For me this book was reminiscent of Interview with a Vampire, a tiny smidge of Misery (you’ll get the reference once you read it), a little bit Twilight mixed with a whole lot of originality, romance and drama..." -- Emerald Book Reviews
"...I highly recommend this novel to those searching for something much fulfilling, interesting and enchanting than your typical romance..." -- 2 Girls Book Reviews
"...An overall cute story... A tale of surprises, love, the paranormal, the power of true love's connection and the danger that protecting your loved one can bring... Definitely high on the romance and HEA factor, but with surprises around every corner to keep you on your toes..." -- TDC Book Reviews
