Dead Man’s Trigger

Former Special Forces Sniper. High School History Teacher. Vampire.

Who Knew Immortality Could Be So Short?

When high school history teacher Max Maguire begins to suspect one of his brightest students is in trouble, he ends up walking down the wrong alley. Suddenly, he’s staring down the fangs of a beautiful, powerful, and utterly merciless vampire named Jade.

As Max’s life takes a dark turn, he’s forced to learn how to survive in Jade’s twisted world. But if Jade thinks her hostage is going to play nice, she really should have read his resume. This former Special Forces sniper might just have to dust off some very lethal muscle memory.

While Max plots exactly how to kill the most dangerous predator on the planet, he discovers there’s another group of vampires that have their own plans for Jade. Before he knows it, Max is caught in the crosshairs of a vampire war that neither side can afford to lose.

And there’s one thing neither side knows… Max has a secret of his own.

If you like your urban fantasy with real teeth — think Joe Ledger with fangs, Monster Hunter International gone dark, and The Dresden Files with the door left open. Dead Man’s Trigger delivers action, dark humor, and a real hero worth rooting for.

A Note to Readers: The novel contains mature content intended for readers 18 and older. This is a gritty, fast-paced genre hybrid combining vampires with dark urban fantasy, tactical military thriller action, and sarcastic humor, with a wisecracking protagonist at its center. There is explicit sexual material, graphic violence, adult themes, and visceral horror elements. In other words, my vampires don’t sparkle.
