About the author
Chris Lester
32 books47 followersHi there! I'm Chris Lester, and I tell stories. I've been doing it for as long as I can remember; whether the audience was a playmate, a classroom, a parent, or a room full of strangers, I've always had a soft spot for a tale well told.
I grew up on stories of places that never were, of science fiction and fantasy, heroes and gods. I was captivated by ideas of transformation and transcendence, of people who passed out of the world of the ordinary and into a world where the impossible could happen. While it was the spectacle and wonder of these stories that gripped me first, as I grew older I came to appreciate them for another reason: by taking us out of our mundane context, these authors could tackle ideas and quandaries that would otherwise be too close for the reader's comfort. Authors like Tolkien and Heinlein and Card may have written stories filled with impossible things, but the stories were ABOUT ideas and problems at the heart of human experience. They were stories about people -- and whether those people were hobbits or Martians or nine-year-old military masterminds, there was Truth to be found in these stories that could be of value to us today.
It's my hope that my own stories inspire you to think about these deeper issues, as well -- and give you a rollicking good time in the process.

This was awesome! I listened to this on the podcast and the narrator was perfect for this character. Her voice really added a lot to the atmosphere of this story. I want more!

Morgan may possibly be the sexiest audiobook (podiobook) vampire ever. Get to know her in this short story. She shows up in later stories as well.

We get the feel and sensations of life as a vampire in Metamor City through Morgan. We meet Morgan in the first story, she works at the morgue at the police station.
Morgan finds more than she expected on a Friday night on the prowl with no luck of a "Share" partner in sight. A homeless girl in need of help who's being strongly pursued by three young vampires.
Morgan is an interesting person with her morals and rules. Very meticulous person, er vampire. I like her living rules.
****FULL REVIEW****
It's Friday night, the weekend starts for Morgan and she's on the prowl. Morgan spends hours searching for a consenting "share" partner that meets her standards. She's not having any luck. She hears a cry for help one layer below her, on the ground level. Morgan jumps down to save the homeless girl from three vampires strongly pursuing her and not following the set rules they are to live by.
Oo! I listened to this story, and the sultry voice of Leanne Mabry fits the feel of Morgan perfectly!
We meet Morgan in Welcome to the City. She's the morgue examiner.
We see a vampires senses heightened and feeling from Morgan's POV. So much to learn about vampires! Their eyes, even have an affect on Morgan if she looks into her own eyes in the mirror. We see, or hear, what she sees when eye contact is made.
Morgan is a character all of her own. She's a perfectionist. Even when things are off a centimeter, she has to fix it. She's meticulous! Morgan has morals and follows rules to the letter, which fits with her OCD of perfect. Morgan, even though a vampire, has a thinking and care about her that sticks out and is felt by those around her. This is shown by the ease at which the homeless girl, Kelly, takes to Morgan and trusts her.
Being the second novella in this world, I'm seeing the characters are here to help those in this magical city. I have a feeling more danger is to come, but I'm liking the kindness I'm seeing in a world that could easily be beyond dangerous - especially for mundane humans.
Morgan finds more on this night, a night she can't find a meal, than she had expected.
I'm enjoying learning more and more of this city and the magic that's wrapping it. On I go with more listens!

This short story was narrated by someone else than Chris Lester. She did an awesome job!
