Love Bite Snib Bit

I decided to post a snib bit from my book Love Bite, posted on LULU to be purchased now. Its 140 pages, and its the first in a series of Vampire Books. :) I decided to post the first page this time. The whole book can be purchased or downloaded from Lulu, and if you want to option it. I'm up for it. I might try to see if I can find someone interested in helping me produce this tv-pilot, and submit it to stations for possible distribution deals. Or you can buy it off me. Anyway, here is the post. Its a bit long, so be aware.

Chapter One

The rain pounded down on the empty road ahead. There was lighting and crashing of thunder. All Beth Anne could hope for is to find shelter for the night. The nightmares would of course come later when they reached their destination. She was alone. She rode in her carriage with the driver she hoped would get her to the visible shelter ahead. She hoped they would reach there in one piece and that he wouldn’t turn around. She paid him enough to get her to her destination safely.

They saw the castle in the distance. They saw it during the daylight. They were lost and thought they could find shelter in the night. But then, it had to rain and be so pitch black dark that there was no hope in knowing if they picked the right road. Or more over, did her driver pick the right road. He wasn’t the smartest person. All Beth Anne wanted was a place to rest her head and someplace to get away from people like her driver. She was lucky he put money ahead of his duty. She was lucky she wasn’t dead.

“We are almost there! I see the gates! They are opening!” The driver yelled at her. Beth Anne tried to look out her window. She saw the castle and the gates, which were opening. In a few minutes they would be inside. She hoped the owner was kind and wouldn’t turn them away. That would defeat the whole purpose of picking this direction.

The pounding of the horses’ hooves couldn’t even be heard above the thunder. Her driver must be soaked and angry now. She would have to give him the rest of her money for what happened. That meant she was now broke. She had no money left. How much longer can she run? She wanted to run until she felt safe and she didn’t feel safe even being lost and near a castle so mysteriously absent from society.
