ConFur

by Kate Paulk

A vampire at a science fiction convention might not seem that far-fetched except for one thing, Jim is a real vampire. Of course, he's not the only supernatural being making the circuit. There are demon editors, succubi authors and the odd archangel. Jim's learned how to deal with all of them, as well as the humans, without getting into too much trouble. But he's about to learn a very important lesson – it is never wise to stand between a mother werewolf and her children, even if you aren't the one responsible for their disappearances. There's only one thing Jim can do. He has to find the kids and deal with those responsible. Little does he know this will lead to a long, and not always comfortable, relationship with a young werewolf who insists on calling him "Hickey".

ConFur is a prequel short story to ConVent and the upcoming ConSensual.

About the author

Kate Paulk is a transplanted Australian with an infant writing career, a hyperactive imagination, and a fondness for weird stuff. She has published enough short stories to be losing count, a novella and Knights in Tarnished Armor, which doesn’t exactly fit any kind of category. Kate’s first novel, Impaler, is an alternate history about Vlad the Impaler (he wins). Kate spends her time juggling the demands of software quality assurance (the day job), her husband, two very demanding cats, and the stories demanding attention. The stories usually win.

Fun reads!

The Con- series has been a blast. Kate Paulk definitely gets the genre Con culture, and has no problem displacing the current trend of tiresome political correctness with a fun romp. Good on ya’, Paulk!

A quick story about how certain characters met. Fun story, interesting too.
