Description
Vampire of the Midnight Sun
A vampire in Alaska.
Frasier and his best friend, Billy, are stranded in the Alaskan wilderness after a rafting accident: grizzlies, arctic water, frozen nights, soggy tundra, no food, no matches, no civilization. And no one is coming to rescue them.
Plus Billy is convinced he’s a vampire. It’s a five-day hike to civilization. Billy claims he can only go three days without human blood.
Will the men survive the harsh Alaskan elements? If so, can Frasier survive Billy’s vampiric delusions, or will Frasier have to take his best friend’s life in order to save his own?
The Fire Witch and the Cowboy
A showdown between an Old West cowboy and a fire witch.
Henderson is the yellow-bellied coward of Dusty Bend, Texas. His wife is ashamed of him. Kids tease him. And he’s terrified of wildfires.
But when a wildfire threatens Dusty Bend, it is Henderson who brokers a deal between the townfolk and the wealthy but formidable Widow Vandermeer, to use her resources in order to fight the fire.
“There will be sacrifices,” she says. If the widow learns Henderson’s decades-old secret, he might be the sacrifice.
Will Henderson grab his wife and run, leaving town while he can? Or will he stay and risk falling into Widow Vandermeer’s clutches?
Meanwhile, the wildfire grows closer . . .

Two tales of contrasts. This volume contains 2 short stories; Vampire of the Midnight sun and The Fire Witch and The Cowboy. Both are examples of excellent story telling and writing. Both tales contain lovely imagery with a narrative style that flows and keeps the reader engaged. Vampire is set in Alaska in the relatively cool summer and explores what one would do in order to survive. Fire Witch is a revenge tale (almost Weird West!) with vivid symbology from beginning to end, and, in contrast to Vampire, is set in an extremely hot environment!
