Of Amity & Blood: A Vampyre Novella

In a world where vampyres are banned from blood banks, Amala’s undead life sorta drags.

Write a blog article. Dodge her ex’s advances. Visit Carmilla—Deep Ellum’s hottest blood club.

Rinse. Wash. And repeat.

Yet Amala doesn’t show up to Carmilla three times a week for the sultry ambiance. She goes to visit Kammy, her favorite human that she may or may not be in love with. Though she’d prefer a stake to the heart before being that forthright with her feelings.

When Kammy doesn’t show up to Carmilla after their latest quarrel, Amala’s mundane world goes off-kilter. Is the woman simply avoiding her, or is there something more sinister at work?

Amala’s unbeating heart screams foul play. So after forging a friendship with Blake, another blood club worker, they join forces to investigate.

What Amala and Blake uncover is a divisive secret that could damn them all.

Plagued by memories of Kammy along the way, can Amala save her lover’s life and the other missing humans before it’s too late?

Of Amity and Blood is an adult novella full of sapphic yearning and tortuous regret. Discover Deep Ellum—a paranormal playground for all things that bite and sulk in the night.
