Abnocto Bibere… To stay out all night and drink.  Blood.

An ordinary life in an ordinary town is all that Samantha ever wanted, but when her neighbour tries to kill her and she is rescued by a woman who claims to be a vampire she starts to see that there is more going on around her than she had ever thought possible. With a killer hunting her down and unable to trust anyone but her closest friends, Samantha is forced to face the possibility that she lives in a world where vampires are real, and where one might already have changed her life forever.

Those of you that have been following what I do under the banner of The Lacuna Works will know that AB started life as a script for a film that I hoped to get made some time ago.  We had a good line on the funding and we even went as far as sorting out a cast and some of the locations, but then – as is so often the way – the funding disappeared and we were left high and dry.  Actually it was a bit more complicated than that, but  I’m not going to write about that here.  Email me if you want more info.

Anyway, with the film on hold whilst new funding was sought the story behind AB was one I really liked and so I decided to turn it into a novel.  I did some planning, drew up some notes, then last November I got started on the actual writing.  I finished it over Christmas then spent January editing it and tweaking it, until by the time it was finished I had a novel in front of me that I was pretty happy with.

AB is a vampire story, but a vampire story with a difference.  The vampires in AB do not sparkle, they are not demonic or supernatural, and they are not after your brains (ok, that last one might be zombies).  The AB vampires are powerful, sexy,  intelligent, quick, and… living right amongst us.  The house down the road that never seems to be occupied but where the garden is kept tidy?  The lock-up at the end of the road with the carefully maintained bolts and hinges that you never see open?  The shop on the high street that keeps hours so strange they cannot possibly ever see any customers?  All towns have their secrets, but some secrets are more secret than others.
