About Pete Has Risen from the Grave: Pete, Drinker of Blood, Book 2 (Unabridged)

Book two in the Pete, Drinker of Blood series! Being a vampire in Hollywood should mean livin' it up. Pete killed the bad guy, got the girl, and didn’t even lose his job in the process - but it's never that easy, is it? Trouble soon rolls into town in the shape of Angie's deadbeat dad, on the run from a gang who practice the basest form of the dark arts. Now, Pete not only has to meet the dad and fight off a bunch of greasy New York sorcerers, there’s also a new blood-drinker in town, and he’s got his sights - and fangs - set on Angie. Looks like somebody's gonna find themselves on the wrong side of her vampire boyfriend. Join Pete as he strives to overcome evil and answer the question: How does a guy live a normal life when he’s not quite dead? If you dig Mercy Thompson, Harry Dresden, or Sandman Slim and you’re looking for a fun new urban fantasy series, check out Pete as he struggles to survive undeath on the streets of Hollywood! Titles include Pete, Drinker of Blood , Doorchick of Darkness , Pete Has Risen From the Grave , Taste the Blood of Pete , The Room-Temperature Warrior , and more coming soon! From the author: I’m a big fan of classic bloodsucking vampires including B-movie vampires, but I also enjoy humorous looks at what it would be like to be an "everyday" vampire, like in What We Do in the Shadows . How does a vampire without a big spooky castle just get through the day - uh, night? That's what l like to explore in the Pete books. After working in a video store for years and then running my own video store for more years, I've seen thousands of B-movies - and written reviews for many of them, which led to my review collection Unsafe on Any Screen . Working in filmmaking in both the Hollywood and indie worlds influenced my novel Squirrel Eyes . I've met a lot of vampires during all of this, and it got me thinking about what it would be like to be an average guy who just happened to be a vampire. In Pete Has Risen from the Grave , the stakes (ahem) are higher for Pete and his human girlfriend, Angie, the action is crazier, and the vampires face some serious trouble from sinister magic-users!
