    About this ebook

    Madeline just wants a place for her and her mom to rest after a turbulent divorce swept them away from their old home. But, with denizens of the dead (or un-dead) wandering into her new house, life is anything but restful. What’s a practical, responsible, logical girl to do? Recruit a vampire to kick the hellish freeloaders out, of course! Too bad payment for vampiric help turns out to be more than Madeline bargained for.

    Amanda McCoy

    Amanda McCoy– I was born and raised in the beautiful and some times mysterious Pacific Northwest. Ever since I was a kid I’ve been told that I was a great storyteller. While I was attending Evergreen State College (Go Geoducks!) I even majored in Native American storytelling for a few terms. For years I’ve been thinking of becoming a published author, but each time I talked myself out of it again.
