The Fullerton Police Department has hired Samantha Moon to help with an unsolved murder investigation...

Seeking shelter, she sees a strange glow coming from a cave and stumbles upon a magic locket that delivers her 81 years into a bleak dystopian future...

And into the middle of a vampire war. A blood war.

Want a story that’s rooted in a fundamental aspect of being human?

I believe reading dark fiction can be healing. My overriding mission is to connect with you through my art, and I hope to inspire you to do the same. I’m a word architect and driven visionary. I’m obsessed with heavy metal, horror films and technology. And I admire strong people who are not afraid to speak their mind.

I grew up in an Irish Catholic, working class family and was the first to go to college. I didn’t have expensive toys, so I used my own imagination for entertainment. And then I abused alcohol for entertainment. I spent the first thirty years of my life convincing myself I wasn’t an addict and the last ten worrying about all the potential threats the substances hid from me.

Anxiety and depression are always hiding in the corner, waiting to jump me when I start to feel happiness.

I had to break through family programming and accept the role of the black sheep. In my 30s I started writing horror and formed a heavy metal band while my family rolled their eyes, sighed and waited for the “phase” to end.

I spent years paralyzing myself with self-loathing and criticism, keeping my creativity smothered and hidden from the rest of the world. I worked a job I hated because that’s what Irish Catholic fathers do. They don’t express themselves, they pay the damn mortgage. I may have left my guilt and faith behind long ago, but the scars remain.

My creativity is my release, my therapy and my place to work through it all. I haven’t had a drink in a long time, but the anxiety and depression are always lurking. Writing novels and songs keeps it at bay. I scream over anxiety with my microphone and I turn my guitar up loud enough to drown out the whispers of self-doubt.

I hope to leave a legacy of art that will continue to entertain and enrich lives long after I’m gone. I want others to see that you don’t have to conform to the mainstream to be fulfilled.

Don’t be afraid of the dark. Embrace it.

J.R. Ryan's Vampire for Hire World: Vampire Apocalypse

Samantha Moon goes foreword in time to a time when vampire rule and humans are nothing more than animal. Can she return to her own time and save the world? Okay story but I think you will get more out of it if hounded "Vampire Apocalypse" first .

Wow!

What a change of pace. Without giving to much away I want to thank J Thorn for this short trip to the future. Sam has to figure out a great deal of things to get out of this mess. Vampire warfare and all, she will not falter if she wants to return to her kids and that has to remain her driving force to get back home.

Great story

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, loved the twist and the ability to put this character into a familiar situation (for us) and make it believable because of who and what she is.

Oh wow

This is a very scary and somewhat bleak episode of this series. Sam is catapulted into a post apocalyptic future. Now she has to find her easy home.
