A bit about Gerry:

The first book in the series was Real Vampires Have Curves, about a vampire, Glory St. Clair, who was bloating when she was turned in 1604. She runs a vintage clothing shop on Austin's Sixth Street and copes with boyfriend troubles as well as a variety of paranormal dangers and issues in her busy life. One challenge? Blending with mortals. Because vampires are everywhere, you just may not know who they are. Visit Gerry’s website to find out more.
