Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nick frowned, staring around at the alley floor. It hit him again. There was something wrong with this blood. It smelled too good. It smelled way, way too good... Vampire with a past and homicide detective, Naoko "Nick" Tanaka just got transferred to the NYPD, where he works as a "Midnight," or vampire in the employ of the human police. Like all state-reg'd vamps, he gets his food delivered to his door, lives in government housing, and basically can't sneeze without the U.S. government knowing about it. More than anything, he just wants to be left alone, to endure his immortality in peace, but he's barely in New York two weeks when things start to go sideways. It all starts with his new case--a case involving dead hybrids, graffiti that tells the future, a kid who shouldn't exist at all, and a possible conspiracy involving the richest humans in New York. That doesn't even get into the school principal, a woman with secrets of her own, who has a deeply unsettling effect on him. Nick finds he can't get personally uninvolved with any of it. Instead, he gets sucked in even deeper, until he's pretty sure he'll end up forcibly reprogrammed by his human owners--assuming they don't just rip his heart out of his chest and be done with it. VAMPIRE DETECTIVE MIDNIGHT is book #1 of a gritty, romantic new series set in a futuristic, dystopian New York populated by vampires, humans and psychics trying to rebuild their world after a devastating race war nearly obliterates the previous one. A spinoff of the Quentin Black Mystery series, it features vampire with a past and homicide detective, Naoko "Nick" Tanaka, who gets transferred to the NYPD after a bad incident in Los Angeles forces him to start a new life. Nick works as a "Midnight," or vampire in the employ of the human police department, but when he arrives in New York, he really just wants to be left alone to work, surf, and deal with his immortality in peace. Life, and the residents of New York, clearly have other ideas.

Book excerpt: "Hey... you." The man looked him over again. "You fight? Right?" His lips thinned, his eyes on Nick's chest and arms. "...You look like you do. Frankly, you're the first vampire I've seen in here who's worth the cost of admission." At Nick's blank stare, the man shrugged. "A hundred thousand to fight. Twice that, if you win." Nick gets pulled into the world of underground boxing, first to support a friend, and then to help one of the homicide detectives in his precinct solve a case. Things get personal, fast, when Nick gets drawn into the game himself, and into the sights of the killers, who appear to be targeting vampires, first draining them for blood and venom before extracting their hearts and tossing them outside the dome. Nick is technically still suspended, but that doesn't keep him out of the crosshairs with some of the biggest names in the criminal underground that runs New York Protected Area. Nor does it reassure his new girlfriend, who by now is convinced he has a death wish, or at the very least will do just about anything to avoid talking to her about what's going on between the two of them.

But with the fall of the Soviet Union, they began to spread across the continent, then the world, turning whole populations into vampires--or human cattle. Having overrun India, the far East, and the great cities of North and South America, the forces of Night are now spreading into the countryside to consolidate their conquest. In a town on the New Jersey shore, the vampires have just arrived, along with their human henchmen, the cowboys, who round up human cattle for the overlords in return for the promise of eternal life---later. For the vampires wish only a few of their own kind to rule, and feed. The rest of humanity are to be helpless herds, the source of the blood of life. Falsely accused of abuse, Father Dan is drunk in a basement waiting for the end. His superior has betrayed the local Catholic congregation and become a vampire. Sister Carolyn has become a formidable killer of cowboys and vampires. Dan's niece, escaped from the conquest of New York, has made her way south to find him. Brought together by Rabbi Zev Wolpin, who is shaken by the vampires' fear of the cross and holy water, they plan their resistance.
