A second life in America might not be one he expects.
Albert Morris has a lot to leave behind. Bitten by the one and only Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel, his wound changed his world forever as it morphed him into a Victorian vampire.
Determined not to let his new cravings get the better of him, he compromises by only feeding on the criminals, the ones he feels deserve it. Even so, being considered a monster by much of society has taken its toll. When he loses all his human friends, he sets off across the great pond to America.
His troubles don’t end there. The New York Vampire coven is hellbent on controlling him, despite help from a fellow Vampire from Bristol. Desperately clinging to a shred of normal life, Albert starts a new business and finds love, but a series of events cuts a bloody path through his plans, as once again vampires are trying to pull him back into their world and will use any means necessary.

When a mysterious virus suddenly appears everywhere, the rich and powerful waste no time in stripping away citizens’ rights all over the world. As fear and confusion reign, a plan for human beings is coming to fruition. Soon husbands will be separated from wives, and children will be separated from their parents. Old people will disappear from the face of the earth.
For one adult called Frank, he will find himself inhabiting a tiny pod in a massive city. For company he will only have the four walls and the soft female voice of A.I. surveillance that will monitor his every move, his every breath and even every pulse of his heart. As Frank tries to understand more about this new state of affairs, he uncovers the truth: the human race is composed of two sub-species; and one of them has always fed – and still does feed – on the other.

A rather large problem has befallen the Huit girls. (Sisters, actually. Octuplets to be exact.) One particular New Year’s Eve, the girls wait for their mommy to bring them hot chocolate and their daddy to return with more wood for the fire. But they don’t. Mommy and Daddy, that is. They’re gone. Poof! Maybe dead—no one knows for sure.
You must see the problem here. Eight little girls on their own, no mommy or daddy to take care of them. This is not a good thing.
So now these little girls, must take care of themselves. Get to school, cook the meals, feed the cats (eight of them, too), and pay the bills. They can’t ask for help, oh no. Any self-respecting adult would surely call in social services, and those well-meaning people would have to split them up. After losing their parents, being split up would be completely unbearable.
At the same time, the question remains: What happened to Mommy and Daddy? The Sisters Eight (as they are called, affectionately and otherwise) are determined to find out. Luckily, they do seem to have someone or something helping them. Notes keep appearing behind a loose brick in the fireplace.
It’s a good old-fashioned mystery with missing (or dead) parents, nosy neighbors, talking refrigerators, foul-smelling fruitcake (is there any other kind?), and even a little magic. Eight little girls, eight cats, and one big mystery—let the fun begin!
Durinda’s Dangers, wherein Durinda, second in line, discovers her power and gift. Boy, is her power a doozy!

Repackaged with a new afterword, this “valuable and entertaining” (New York Times Book Review) book explores how scientists are adapting nature’s best ideas to solve tough 21st century problems.
Biomimicry is rapidly transforming life on earth. Biomimics study nature’s most successful ideas over the past 3.5 million years, and adapt them for human use. The results are revolutionizing how materials are invented and how we compute, heal ourselves, repair the environment, and feed the world.
Janine Benyus takes readers into the lab and in the field with maverick thinkers as they: discover miracle drugs by watching what chimps eat when they’re sick; learn how to create by watching spiders weave fibers; harness energy by examining how a leaf converts sunlight into fuel in trillionths of a second; and many more examples.
Composed of stories of vision and invention, personalities and pipe dreams, Biomimicry is must reading for anyone interested in the shape of our future.
