Darius Wilder is a vampire of royal blood. His father is one of the most powerful vampires around. After being ostracized for being gay he’s currently on the run from those that would hunt him. Phantom Creek has become his safe haven. The mortuary; his new home, and the people that work there; his new family. Romance hasn’t come easy for him and with each failed relationship he prays a little harder that fate will give him a mate of his own.

Jirga is a demon bounty hunter. He’s the last person you want hunting you down. When Aristotle Wilder hires him to find his son and bring him home Jirga thinks it’ll be a simple snatch and grab. Only, he runs into a little snag when executing the job he was sent to do.

Darius longs for his fated mate, not just for the companionship but also so he can gain the full power of his royal blood. Jirga just wants to finish his job and move on but Darius complicates that. Will these two be able to work things out and fight the enemy in front of them or will Darius’ father win?

When I saw the Mortician pop up on my Amazon page I had to have it right then! I am a Mortician and people say "oh that is so creepy" just like in your book! I laughed to myself. I think they should be free with my Amazon Prime. I bought the second book and it was over in just a few pages, why is that? You have a good theme going just way to short.

The Graveyard Shift is a series of short stories revolving around characters who work in a mortuary. There's no drawn out villain plot. It's about a couple of guys settling down and finding love.

About the Author

Well Ezra isn't my real name obviously but I liked the name so I decided to use it. I live at home with my five dogs and one cat. I started out writing hetero romance novels but it wasn't where my heart lied. I adore all things paranormal and M/M is by far my favorite genre so I decided to start writing Paranormal Romances. There's a guaranteed happy ending with each of my books even if it may take some time for my guys to get there. I love each and every character on the page and I look forward to writing more for you. I hope you all enjoy reading them as much as I do writing them 😀

Summary: As the epic trilogy hurtles toward its conclusion, the fight for the future isn’t over yet. It could lead to a new beginning, or it might spell the end for the last vestiges of humankind. The generation ship Forever has left Earth behind, but a piece of the old civilization lives on in the Inthworld—a virtual realm that retains memories of Earth's technological wonders and vices. A being named Lilith leads the uprising, and if she succeeds in setting its inhabitants free, they could destroy Forever. But during the generation ship's decades-long voyage, humanity has evolved. Liminals with the ability to connect with the world mind and the Inthworld provide a glimmer of hope. They'll have to face not only Lilith’s minions, but also the mistrust of their own kind and persecution from a new government as homotypicals continue to fear what they can't understand. The invasion must be stopped, the Inthworld must be healed, and the people of Forever must let go of their past and embrace what they’re meant to become.

Summary: People have been disappearing all across the State with no apparent connection to one another. Police are baffled and struggling to determine if the disappearances are connected or are simply isolated incidents.

Almost a year after surviving a horrific weekend held captive by his former best friend, Marc, Alex is now a freshman at the University of Tennessee. Desperately trying to start over, he is consumed with depression, anxiety, and guilt for the murder that he helped cover up. Always fearful of being discovered, Alex can’t help but wonder, is Marc still secretly watching him? Could Marc's obsession with him have something to do with the current flood of disappearances across the State? All things seem to lead back to that fateful weekend… the one that started with murder … and ended in betrayal.
