sss 30 - scream for help


Dracula's Kiss, a halloween special, is apart of the 1NightStand multi-author series. It's available for purchase in most eBook stores. Enjoy.
Right before this six, Cathela has had a little too much to drink--a black cherry vodka cocktail called Dracula's Kiss--and she had gone looking for the rest rooms. Instead, she stumbled upon the castle's dungeons...alone...with candles as her only source of light.

Her candle snuffed out from a breath, and not her own. The chill exhale kissed her neck and skated down her body like an icicle drip. The horror of it sent her hurtling backward. Had it not been for the wall behind her, she would have landed on her butt.
“Who’s there? Bar dude, is that you?” -- (c) JoAnne Kenrick, Dracula's Kiss.

Mwahahahaha. It's darn good to be back in action!!!! And Happy Halloween :) Miss ya SSS!
