What happens one sultry summer night when a Christian and a vampire meet on a fire escape and agree to engage in a cordial conversation? A touch of hilarity, plus eye-popping—and Undead heart-starting—revelation, as vampire myth and legend give way to greater Truth! Think Anne Rice meets Frank Peretti! Excerpt “Oh, I’m just in the mood for some good conversation. Cordial conversation, I assure you.” The shadows twisted and I thought he turned toward me. “What do you say, Taz?” “I can always agree to a cordial conversation.” “Ah. Good.” I saw that flash of white again and the faint outline of a sharp jaw. His voice was young and cultured, and I guessed his age at about thirty, but . . . but his elegant manner belied that relatively youthful age. Something distinctly mature emanated from him, and I warned myself not to base my estimation of his age on his appearance. “I watched you work down in the Glades tonight,” he murmured, “and I confess I am somewhat curious . . . about you. . . Taz.” He paused before adding, casually, “Dear me. This rusty old fire escape doesn’t lend itself much to comfort or civility, does it? Might we be more at our ease inside?” “You want me to invite a vampire into my home.” I waggled my eyebrows and just looked at him. Like, really? He giggled low in his throat, tickled that I’d found him out so quickly. “But surely you’re not afraid?” I shrugged. “Not afraid. Just not stupid.” He spread his hands again, a self-deprecating gesture. “It was just a . . . cordial suggestion, Taz.” “Well, could I offer you something to drink?” I smiled this time. “In the spirit of cordiality, of course.” It was quite interesting how his eyes flared red. I hadn’t been 100 percent certain where they were until they did. Annnnnd apparently I’d ticked him off. //***// Other Books by Vikki Kestell Nanostealth: Book 1: Stealthy Steps, FREE eBook Book 2: Stealth Power Book 3: Stealth Retribution A Prairie Heritage: Book 1: A Rose Blooms Twice, FREE eBook Book 2: Wild Heart on the Prairie Book 3: Joy on This Mountain Book 4: The Captive Within Book 5: Stolen Book 6: Lost Are Found Book 7: All God's Promises Book 8: The Heart of Joy: A Short Story “Vikki writes the kind of faith-filled fiction that hooks you within the first few pages, will not let you go until you have finished, and leaves you wishing for more.” —Janis Braun, Seattle, Washington “Her books are not just for 'chicks'!
