Imagine an earth just a bit different from ours. In this world normals unknowingly share the planet with all manner of beings, including vampyres, most of whom rely on bagged blood, which is supplemented by the blood of sabors, valued individuals whose blood contains an element necessary for the survival of the species. Tyrell Small has always felt different. He just never knew how different. On his sixteenth birthday, his father reveals Ty is one such sabor, with the birthmark to prove it. Upon learning he’ll be required to feed vampyres, Ty decides he’s not having any of that. He’ll run away and make his own destiny. Slipping out his second story bedroom window, he finds Adam Dasani, the most gorgeous man he’s ever seen, waiting for him on the roof. Adam is reluctant to distress the young sabor about to slide down the drainpipe, but he’s one of the vampyres Ty will one day feed. Equerry to the vampyre king, Adam had been given the task of guarding Ty on the day he was born. Because the blood of the two most powerful saborese families in the shared history of vampyres and sabors runs through Ty’s veins, some vampyres will do anything to obtain him for themselves. It will be up to Adam to keep Ty safe, not only from those rogue vampyres but from others who have plans of their own for him. Everyone keeps telling Ty he can’t escape his destiny, but he has no intention of sitting around twiddling his thumbs, waiting for life to catch up with him. However, will something Adam inadvertently said give Ty a way to live the life he wants and keep those he loves -- including Adam -- out of danger?

They Come by Night

She reversed direction, though, when she met a petite, red-haired singer of blues and folk music, and joined her and her band on their East Coast tour, finally arriving at Woodstock in August of ‘69. The affair was intense, but it ended when Jane—Rhiannon—crossed paths with a tall black musician who played wicked electric guitar and made love to her in the same manner as he did to his Fender Strat.


Another stroke of bad luck, because both he and the singer were heavy into the drug scene. Why did all the people she was attracted to prefer doing drugs to doing her?


She left Woodstock as soon as the festival ended and resumed her trek to the West Coast. San Francisco seemed to call to her, and she was looking forward to wearing flowers in her hair.


Once there she became a groupie to a psychedelic rock group that had been banned from variety television. The lead singer flirted with her and promised he’d write a song for her.
