I’d love to tell you all that the next book is on its way but I’ve been busy. Honest. Admittedly I’m writing this one pint deep listening to old school house music in a pub (HITCHIN’S flighty and fun Coopers Arms) BUT I haven’t forgotten you dear readers.
I’m working away on both my novella and the sequel to BITE BACK❗️but factors such as my MacBook aging out (saving for a new one) and general winter nonsense have hindered my progress. I thank you for your patience and can guarantee it’ll be worth it. The novella is shaping up far better than I could have hoped and I’m dreaming up one helluva follow up to BB❗️for all you Creatures of the Night out there.

Loads of lovely reviews coming in for BITE BACK! Thanks to everyone who’s rated and/or reviewed it so far.
“WHAT A CRACKER! This is the second book from this author that I’ve read. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, the characters really came alive for me and I was transported back to the 90’s in a heartbeat. Well rounded and an interesting take on the vampire story line, with some excellent “nods” back to when music was still awesome!” – 5 star Amazon review
“METHINKS THE GOTH DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH! When I was halfway through this I still didn’t know where it was going, which for a book one might initially have summed up as “vampire love triangle” is a big achievement. Obviously this is a lot more than that and that second half does indeed go some places, but at its core it’s a story of 90s indie kids in Sittingbourne discovering who they really are. You might say, “But I’ve never been to Sittingbourne, is this really going to resonate?” and I would answer, “Neither have I but I’m already going to be casually calling it ‘the Bourne'”. Anyway, characters are big and, despite their many mistakes, highly loveable. There are some good laughs and while stuff gets serious, it never gets heavy.” – 5 star Amazon review
“KEPT ME HOOKED! Being from Sittingbourne it was nice to read about places I know and have grown up in for the last 51 years.” – 5 star Amazon review
“SALEM’S LOT MEETS SUBMARINE. Bite Back’s ability to capture the teen experience is spot on. I felt myself recognise, cringe and laugh in equal measure at all the naive missteps and awkward social interactions. I burned through the back chapters in an evening. Hanging out with Christine and Benjamin in the Summer of ’95 was so much fun. Recommended!” – 5 star Goodreads review
“EXCELLENT TEENAGE VAMPIRE FUN set in the ‘90s. I loved it. It’s a quirky little book that mixes coming of age comedy drama with horror, essentially two teenage vampires run amok in a small town while a love triangle builds around them. Things really pick up in the second half of the book when they switch from being the hunters to the hunted and it turns into one hell of a page turner. There’s some very funny moments and quite emotional character beats too. And if you like 80s and 90s music there’s lots of references.” – 5 star Barnes and Noble customer review
When I was a kid I used to trundle about the streets delivering the KENT MESSANGER newspaper from a bashed up granny shopping trolly and now over three decades later I’m in it!
Thrilled to see the support for BITE BACK from the Kent media. 💖

FANCY THE BLURB?
Despite his pale skin and fangs, teenager Benjamin Cooper doesn’t want to be a goth, let alone a vampire. However, one fateful night in the summer of 1995 he catches the eye of Christine, a blood-drinker returning to town having left under a cloud several years previously.
She needs Benjamin for protection. He needs Christine to drag him from the malaise of his stalling, small-town life. They both have a thirst for vengeance leading to a partnership bonded by blood. As the body count rises and enemies multiply, Benjamin and Christine are cast into an escalating spiral of revenge that they may not escape from.
