A Vampire Queen’s Secret Baby

I awoke in a pile of garbage in a dark alley with no memory of what happened to me or even who I am. All I know is my name, Karmen. By the vicious scars on my body, I’ve been through hell and lived to tell about it. Barely.

In the hospital, my memory slowly beings to return. Something is after me. It’s not safe. I have to get away. But I don’t know who to trust. Certainly not the man who left me in the alley. He smelled like a wolf. Or the doctor, who asks me if I’m even human.

Then the doctor drops a bombshell. I’m pregnant. And I have no idea who the father is.

Only that his monsters hunt me in the burning light of day.

Phil Ochs has his troubles. His adult son is a failed artist who’s targeting him in a terroristic poetry campaign, his wife has developed an addiction to As Seen On TV gadgets, and a professional rival is poaching managers from his seventeen Fry Buddy fast food franchises.

Worst of all, Phil is a southern conservative who shares a name with a famous liberal folksinger. It’s this lifelong association, he believes, that’s denied him the respect he’s always craved.

When he loses a coveted business award to a producer of testicular implants for neutered pets, Phil is finally through being disrespected. He devises a scheme that’s certain to bring him notoriety. Whether that means becoming a figure of admiration or of national hatred will all depend on how well he conceals the more depraved elements of his plan.
