Plot Summary of Single White Vampire
"

Love Spell, Aug 2003, 6.99, 384 pp.
ISBN: 0505525526

Luc started by writing historical books that have been well received by universities, in which academia applauded his eye for detail as if he were there; which he was. Recently, he has written three “fictional” accounts of romances that are actually biographies of family members.

Last year Luc's long time editor passed away replaced by his assistant Kate Leever. She wants Luc to go on tour, but he ignores her, feeling she will not use him to make her career. However, Kate arrives at his home to push her position in person, believing a tour would push sales to stratospheric levels. However, his traveling phobia has more to do with a certain vampiric condition that makes him need to hide somewhat from the public, though Kate pushes him to attend the RT convention. Soon Luc wants to come out of the vampire closet because he has the craving to write one more happy ending love story starring himself and his editor.

SINGLE WHITE VAMPIRE is an amusing satirical tale that pokes fun at the romance book industry.
