My Girlfriend, the Vampire is the story of a nerdy financial analyst living off his father’s hopes for a successful career in Boston. While out for a walk on a foggy night, he encounters the woman of his dreams. She has looks, personality, class. Everything he always fantasized about, and was pretty sure he’d never get. Now, just because people in his life start disappearing or undergoing changes in personality after he meets and develops a relationship with this dream girl, it shouldn’t affect their budding romance. Should it?
Everything is moving along swimmingly, until, of course, Conner David finds out he’s a suspect in several disappearances. He is at once charmed and terrified of the savvy and beautiful Boston Police detective who questions him. Conner finds out the truth about his new love. She does have one flaw after all, but it’s a doozy. She drinks blood. After catching her in the act, he finds out about her origin. Now he has to come to grips with her reality and avoid being booked for murder. Hardly just another day in the office.
Hey, it’s Robert.
My Girlfriend, the Vampire is about a somewhat nerdy financial analyst in Boston who stumbles across the woman of his dreams. No biggie, right? Come to find out, however, that she has one drawback, but it's a doozy. She drinks blood.
I have to say, I felt uniquely qualified to tell this story. Ok, no, I've never drank blood. But I did spend 30+ years in corporate finance. And, although I don't consider myself nerdy (and opinion that may or may not be shared by others), I have a good feel for the corporate environment where my protagonist makes his living. Plus, I'm a lifelong fan of vampire stories. (Now, let's not examine what THAT says about my personality...)
My career culminated in the position of VP, Finance for a Fortune 500 company. This is my first novel, but I'm sure there will be more, as I reside in New Hampshire where we tend to get snowed in for extended periods of time.
I have degrees from Northeastern and Boston College (pick up on the Boston roots?) I live with my wife Donna. We have two adult children and two grandkids. Other than writing, my hobbies include tending to my house and garden and, now, hoping that you like my book!
Thanks for reading.
