Stray Witch: A Paranormal Vampire Romance and Fantasy Novel (The Vampires of Emberbury, #1)

*NOW A FINISHED SERIES! * Working for vampires is not easy. Finding out you are a witch after thirty, even less.
But when you lose everything after a divorce, you take any opportunity you can. . . even when the job requirements include casting spells and dealing with a charming, yet fanged co-worker.

WINNER OF THE 2020 INTERNATIONAL VAMPIRE FILM & ARTS FESTIVAL SILVER STAKE AWARD.

Thirty-year-old Alba thinks she's lost everything. . . until she meets the Vampires of Emberbury, who dwell under an abandoned graveyard, stuck in Victorian times. The vampires make her a peculiar job offer, and she will get to meet Clarence, a mysterious vampire who thinks cloaks and top hats are still in fashion. With his help, Alba will figure out that, sometimes, the scariest monster isn't the one with fangs.

A magical story about a lost witch recovering her self-esteem and overcoming a terrible mistake, a seemingly cheerful vampire with a tortured past, and finding love in the most unexpected of places.

This is a slow-burn, sweet paranormal vampire romance that deals with worldly issues in a magical, humorous way and guarantees to make you laugh, cry, and gasp as you follow Alba and Clarence on their quest to solve Alba's real-life troubles in a fairy-tale setting.

Stray Witch is the first book in The Vampires of Emberbury series. It can also be read as a stand-alone magical realism story.

Praise for Stray Witch:

"I loved this story! The pacing was steady, and the characters were well-developed and realistic. I found it very easy to relate to Alba, to sympathize with her, and to cheer her on as she fought to protect her daughters and start a new life. I really liked Clarence, the mysterious gentlemanly vampire. I was especially intrigued by his dark past and wanted to know more. I also enjoyed the slow-burn romantic subplot between Alba and Clarence." Angela's Book Addiction.

"The highly original plot combines the best of paranormal with the best of romance. (. . .) Each character is lovingly detailed, vivid in perspective. The slow teasing out of each's history allows for a tantalizing, unputdownable read." The Booklife Prize critic's report.

"Written in the alternating first-person perspective of Alba and Clarence, the reader is allowed a glimpse into their intertwined lives as two people who shouldn't have fallen in love try to discover their feelings and themselves. (. . .) Self-discovery, romance, heartbreak, and challenges fill this sweet romance in which you can't help but root for the main characters." Reader's Favorite.
