They are old, cranky, and dangerous.   Midlife witch Missy Mindle is also a home-health nurse for vampires. You see, not all vampires are young, sexy urbanites. What happens if you were a senior citizen when you're turned? You move to Florida, of course, to an oceanfront condo tower in Jellyfish Beach. There's even a bloodmobile that shows up each night like a food truck.   But a disturbed ex-con hijacks the bloodmobile, leaving a community of vampires who aren't just hungry, but freaking hangry. Missy's magick is the only way to find the bloodmobile before the residents starve or feast upon their unsuspecting human neighbors.   This novella is your ticket into the Freaky Florida humorous paranormal mystery series. It includes four sample chapters from Snowbirds of Prey, Book 1 of Freaky Florida.

Gators. Pythons. Iguanas. Dragons? Why not? It's Florida.   Missy, midlife amateur witch and nurse to elderly supernaturals, has two problems. First, she found a young, injured dragon in the Everglades with a price on its head. Second, her vampire patient Schwartz has disappeared after getting caught by Customs with werewolf blood. (It's like Viagra for vampires. Don't ask.)   There are many bizarre creatures in the Everglades, native and non-native, but who knew dragons were among them? And this isn't just any young dragon. This is a dragon prophesied to restore its species to greatness. That's why an evil, ancient god wants to destroy it, and an almost-as-evil CEO tries to capture it. Missy has to protect the dragon while it heals (and snacks on the iguanas in her neighborhood). Too bad she also must locate and rescue Schwartz before he gets staked. Her best weapon is her not-always-dependable magick. And she is learning that she inherited much more power from the parents she never knew than she had realized.   Invasive Species is the second book in Freaky Florida, a clean, humorous fantasy series filled with magic, monsters, and mystery; sarcasm and satire; and, of course, Florida Man.

Lee, Jana DeLeon, Kim Harrison, Shayne Silvers, Christopher Moore, and Carl Hiaasen.
