Bylines and Bloodsuckers: A thrilling urban fantasy short story

A borrowed spaniel, a journalist’s gut instinct, and a vampire trafficking ring. What could possibly go wrong?

When I pitched a missing persons story set in a South London suburb, I expected my editor to beg me to bag us a front page exclusive. Instead, she banned me from investigating and threw in a thinly veiled threat on my career.

But here’s the thing about being a damn good investigative journalist… sometimes you have to ignore your editor.

Armed with my new canine partner, I headed into the woods unsure of what I’d find. What I definitely didn’t expect was a mysterious supernatural woman in stilettos, three overly eager tributes, and the kind of bite that doesn’t come from a mosquito.

I'm Elodie Evergreen, and I'm in way over my head, neck-deep in secrets, and on the verge of breaking the biggest story of my career… as long as I can stay out of the obituaries long enough to write it.

Perfect for fans of resourceful heroines, cute animal sidekicks, and exhilarating urban fantasy, Bylines and Bloodsuckers delivers action, mystery, and supernatural surprises.
