Love Stories

Arabus Drake, vrykolakas, Greek Vampire, takes his name after getting his vengeance on those who murdered him and his love Althea but is unable to return to the grave. He is left alone in the world, seeking to find acceptance, a place to belong and someone to love with his soul trapped in the corpse by vengeful underworld demons.

The stories start in 1483 Greece with his life as Mikos, death and undeath. He then finds love and pirates in the Bahamas in 1688 and has to choose the right woman of three that pursue him. In 1774 he follows MillieMae in England to the American Revolution and makes her undead to love him forever. When she turns demonic on him, he has to pursue her and kill those she makes vampiric as she stays just out of his reach as war rages in the Colonies. In the "Wild West" in Sacramento 1860 he finds the love he's longed for but loses her to her jealous lawman father. In Hollywood in depressing 1933 he finds he’s lost the desire to be the actor and wants only to find character in a sink hole, leading him to his last great, and he hopes permanent, love line.

You see, for a vampire, mortals age like grapes on a vine. The narrator of this collection shares details of coming upon his transcription of adventures, and why he shares his stories as though they did not happen to him. Is he real? That's the question she seeks to answer as these stories progress. See what you believe as you read, because nowhere else will you find historic vampiric adventures do alarmingly based on reality.

This narrator will appear in the contemporary “Journal of an Undead: Climax.” A third novel, “Journal of an Undead: of gods and friendship,” is also being developed, with a different, but connected, narrator.

The cover was created on the shores of Crete, at the moment that Althea turns to look at him, changing their lives forever. Although the five stories are the same as in the Solstice publication of “Adventures in Death & Romance,” there are enough changes here to satisfy anyone who might have read it before.
