Was that too much to ask? All Tenzin wanted was a cache of priceless medieval coins that had been missing for several hundred years. And some company. Phrases like “never again” don’t mean much when you’ve been a vampire for several thousand years. And promises made in the heat of anger don’t always outweigh the lure of gold. Ben Vecchio thought he knew everything there was to know about the immortals of Italy. But when Tenzin tempts him into another adventure, finding a cache of rare gold coins missing since the nineteenth century, he’ll discover that familiar places can hold the most delicious secrets. And possibly the key to his future. Ben and Tenzin are back in an all-new novella in the Elemental Legacy series.

    When it didn't -- when something went awry -- I was exceedingly skilled at packaging it back up. It was my job to do so after all.  I was a reconstructionist. I collected the puzzle pieces, then I gave those pieces to an investigative team to sort out. I didn't ask questions. I didn't offer answers. I saw. I recorded. I moved on. I didn't dwell or obsess. I didn't hunt down suspects. I didn't follow clues to find a killer. And I certainly didn't work side by side with anyone. Least of all, a vampire who I strongly suspected might turn out to be the major missing component at the end of the trail.Then I saw something I couldn't forget. It wasn't the bloodiest thing I'd ever seen. It wasn't even close. But it haunted me. I didn't like being haunted. And I couldn't figure out how to get it out of my head. Someone was killing teenaged boys in the Pacific Northwest. Despite my misgivings, if I could help catch a killer, I had to at least try. ------------------  This 68,000 word urban fantasy is the first book in the Reconstructionist Series by author Meghan Ciana Doidge. Author's note: The ideal reading order of Catching Echoes (Reconstructionist 1) is after the first six books in the Dowser Series and the three books in the Oracle series, but it's not actually necessary to read the Dowser or the Oracle series before reading the Reconstructionist Series.

    though I did leave out some of the original "diary" entries that appeared on an earlier version of the Morganville website, simply because they were just scenes and not stories, and were generally really short snippets. This is all short fiction, and it's been carefully organized into the timeline, so you can read from the earliest adventures (some of which belong to vampires) all the way through some post-Daylighters goodies.MIDNIGHT BITES includes a total of more than 50,000 words of brand new content, which makes me very happy indeed (and I hope will also make you happy, too).

Moving into the open, Gino Abandonado grinned at me viciously. “No big bad protector around to save you now.” He chuckled. I snorted in response. “I see you managed to grow your leg back.” I said with derision. “You should probably use it to run away while you have a chance. If it had been me you fought when we last met, I’d have just dusted your ass.” Gino sneered his disdain as his stake and dagger slid out of his jacket sleeves. “You will not find me as easy to handle as my minions back at the plane. I don’t see your kitty cat protector either. I do hope he’s alright. I shrugged indifferently and sniffed. “He’s fine. He did get a little banged up helping me dust your sire, but it wasn’t really a big deal.” I lied. Gino’s mouth dropped open in shock at my words before his eyes narrowed in hate. “You lie, you baseborn harlot!” He growled out. “Oh really?” I said with a raised eyebrow. “Seen dear old dad since you hit town? If you had, I don’t imagine you’d be out here all alone.” Continuing to stare at him quizzically, I asked. “Why are you out here Gino? Lose something? Or should I say, someone?” Gino snarled his hate as his weapons came to the ready. “That is none of your concern. Time to die Chew Toy.” I grinned as my eyes turned crimson.

    She is in love with books, while Joshua is attracted to just about anyone with muscles. Not surprisingly, complication arises when a gorgeous man with large muscles walks through the door. “Gorgeous doesn’t mean dateable.” Tongue-in-cheek humor, heart breaking drama, and whirlwind romance of girl-meets-vampire and vampire-bites-girl-then-leaves are just part of why this story will be read over and over.

Desperate to break the Slayer curse, he kidnaps Arcona, intent on learning the secrets carried in her blood. But they’re in for a surprise.

The heroine’s personality exists in two time frames. She is virtually two different women, sharing the same experiences and evolving from them. This story contains Upir Likhyi or warrior vampires, graphic violence, and sex scenes, blood sports in the arena, and past life mayhem messing up the present. Full-length novel, no cliffhanger, HEA.
