The Donut Queen

Book five in the PETE, DRINKER OF BLOOD series!

Reluctant vampire Pete Tyler is stunned: Not only do faeries exist, but they are dazzlingly attractive. However - thanks to Pete's use (and misuse) of the greasy magic - they are also displeased. One particularly foxy Fae won't stop dogging Pete's heels when all he wants is a little quiet time with his human girlfriend, Angie.

Meanwhile, Maisie Untermeier has rolled into Hollywood to oversee expansion of the sinister Untermeier's Donuts empire - and exact her vengeance on Pete. When she forms an unholy alliance with another powerful menace, it's going to take everything Pete, Angie, and the other vampires can muster to save themselves from the onslaught of danger and creepy greasy magic monsters!

Join Pete as he strives to overcome evil and answer the question: How does a guy live a normal life when he's not quite dead?

If you dig Mercy Thompson, Harry Dresden or Sandman Slim and you're looking for a fun new urban fantasy series, check out Pete as he struggles to survive undeath on the streets of Hollywood! Titles include PETE, DRINKER OF BLOOD, DOORCHICK OF DARKNESS, PETE HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE, TASTE THE BLOOD OF PETE, THE ROOM-TEMPERATURE WARRIOR, THE DONUT QUEEN, and more coming soon!

From the author: I'm a big fan of classic bloodsucking vampires including B-movie vampires, but I also enjoy humorous looks at what it would be like to be an 'everyday' vampire, like in WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS. How does a vampire without a big spooky castle just get through the day - uh, night? That's what l like to explore in the PETE books. After working in a video store for years and then running my own video store for more years, I've seen thousands of B-movies - and written reviews for many of them, which led to my review collection UNSAFE ON ANY SCREEN. Working in filmmaking in both the Hollywood and indie worlds influenced my novel SQUIRREL EYES. I've met a lot of vampires during all of this, and it got me thinking about what it would be like to be an average guy who just happened to be a vampire.
