Delilah Street greets a VAMPIRE SUNRISE in Las Vegas

Vampire Sunrise, the third adventure of Delilah Street, Paranormal Investigator, comes out Nov. 24

The cocktail glass isn’t hiding behind Del’s shoulder for no reason. Of course, there’s a “signature” recipe for a Vampire Sunrise cocktail. How Delilah (and I) became the “Urban Fantasy” bartender has something to do with her series being set in a post-apocalyptic, noir Las Vegas of the very near future, 2013.

The first two novels in the series, Dancing with Werewolves and received starred reviews in Brimstone Kiss, Publishers Weekly trade magazine. There is a Brimstone Kiss recipe with kick, but the signature drink in DWW is not very lupine. It’s called an Albino Vampire.

Each novel begins with a “Meet Me” introduction so new readers can keep up with the action around a Las Vegas Strip run by a werewolf mob and concealing an ancient vampire empire, with hotels named the Inferno and the Gehenna, and parking valet demons who are fans of Old Detroit rides.
