Real Vampires Have Curves from Berkley Publishing

What—did you think all vamps were pale, thin and brooding?

Don’t I wish.

       Me, I just happened to be bloating when a sexy Scotsman sank his teeth into me, so here I am, eternally “full-figured.” On the plus side, Glory St. Clair can rock a corset like nobody’s business. Oh, and as for Angus Jeremiah Campbell III, aka Jeremy Blade? We’ve been on and off again for centuries, currently off. After a couple hundred years we sure know how to press each other’s hot buttons—in good ways and bad.

       The whole never-aging thing means that a girl’s gotta keep moving, and I’m headed for Austin and a new business venture: Vintage Vamp’s Emporium. After all, I love cute clothes, and I am an antique. Only problem is, there’s a billionaire techno-freak vampire hunter on the loose. Blade’s in total he-vampire mode, and orders me to move in so he can “protect” me. But I’m sick of the not-so-little woman thing. It’s time for this vamp to explore her own powers . . .

Real Vampires Live Large from Berkley Publishing

       Gloriana St. Clair, full-figured vampire and entrepreneur, doesn’t understand why life has to be so complicated.

       First, her shop is fire bombed by a frustrated vamp hunter, then long-time lover Jeremy Blade abandons her to hunt the hunter. She’s determined to get her business and her love life back on track, but she becomes the target of Energy Vampires. The EVs want to— excuse me?--suck out her stored power to make Vampire Viagra.

       The EVs are paranormal drug pushers taking advantage of the boredom that immortals experience after centuries of “Been there, done that”. Their Vamp Viagra is expensive and addictive. Even Glory’s roomie, Florence daVinci, is tempted by their charismatic leader and his promises of “fulfillment”.

       Glory won’t cooperate willingly, but, when the scumbags rob her faithful doggie protector Valdez of his power, that gets her attention. Glory will do anything to save him, even shape-shift into something the jaded EVs can’t fight. Can Glory kick EV butt, run a successful business and find a man who appreciates a woman with ... appetites?

Real Vampires Get Lucky from Berkley Publishing

When a female loan shark named Lucky is attacked and left for dead, vampire Glory St. Clair turns her into one of the undead to save her––but eternity would have been safer without her.

Vamps prefer a low profile, and that’s not Lucky’s style. She prefers to flaunt her sexy rock-star ex-boyfriend and great shoes.

Trouble is, her flamboyant behavior is not only drawing every vampire hunter within miles— it’s bringing her would-be killer out of hiding, too.
