Veronica Fischer lives in Pekin, a small town in middle America. She's your average 20-something (looking) redhead… vampire… madam… who recently adopted the ghost of 8-year-old Rachel Gregory. Now she's on a rollercoaster ride of adventure, magic, mysteries, and pain, with chatroom hitmen, amnesiac graverobbers, racist arsonists, power-hungry lounge suit vampires, horny zombies, and demonic spirits. Even 77-year-old vampires have coming of age stories, sometimes they're just later in life… with monsters and gunfire.
