Vampire Mage by Janelle Peel
My name is Sora. I was born into this world to a highly respected Mage family. All was well as a child; most children receive their magic at puberty… I was not that fortunate. Shunned by my family, I was cast out on my twenty-first birthday—a failure and disappointment to those who were supposed to love me.
Left on my own in Seattle with no friends or money, I made my way through low-paying jobs down the coast to Southern California. Fate finally smiled upon me in San Diego, where I scored a serving position at a diner. One night after my shift, I decided to walk to a dive bar near my home to drown my sorrows. That was where I met him: the Master Vampire of the SoCal Clutch.
It was either the biggest mistake of my life… or the best decision in the world.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Nothing compares to the power of words. Whether inspiring love and desire, or inciting the end of the world, there's a simplistic beauty inside each keystroke. Besides, we all deserve a little fantasy…
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My characters reflect the personalities of those I grew up with. I write the women's POV in the first person, but the men's are always in the second. There's just something about writing from a man's perspective I can't fully wrap my mind around.
Book Sample
Someone was in my house.
Panicked, I jerked the door open but no one was there. Flipping the deadbolt, I quickly checked the bathroom and tiny shower.
Nothing.
Heart rate calming, I walked back to the kitchen. A draft blew against the nape of my neck. Slowly, I turned.
A brick of a man stood in my open entryway.
I gasped. Lowering my gaze, I eyed my bat near the door.
His lips tilted into a smirk as if daring me to go for it. He had a strong jawline and high cheekbones. Not pretty, but handsome in a bad-boy kind of way. The jacket he wore was open to a dark blue T-shirt. Faded jeans finished the look paired with black combat boots.
He stared.
I stared. It was like a Wild West standoff.
After a moment, I injected feigned confidence into my voice. “Who the hell are you, and what are you doing in my house?”
His lips curled into a full devilish smile that dimpled his cheeks. Deep, rich laughter rolled out, immediately pissing me off.
Squaring my shoulders, I stalked toward him with a glare. His teeth snapped closed when I was a foot from him… and my weapon.
Catching the movement of my eyes, he growled, “I wouldn’t.”
Crossing my arms as a barrier, I tried to ignore the fluttering of my stomach. “Answer me!”
Inside, a silent demand screamed, Let go.
So, I did. Brilliant blue light lit my hands, dancing across my knuckles as I spread each finger. The glow played across the stranger’s face as he stared, completely transfixed by whatever the hell I was doing.
This close, I could smell him. Clean and crisp like the ocean, and very similar to my home back in Seattle. Inhaling again, I licked my lips and relaxed into the memory.
He flared his nostrils as his gaze tracked the motion. Shock and recognition flashed across his face. “You.”
Confusion coursed through me. I didn’t know this mountain of a man that smelled like home. Returning his assessment, I noted how his leather jacket clung to him like a second skin. Focus!
Tossing my hair over one shoulder, I asked, “Do I know you?”
Stepping back, he overcame his previous emotional slip with the movement. “I’m Blaze, Master of the SoCal Clutch.” One perfect brow rose. “And you are?”
