But all of that changed on one cold morning as she walked home from her job as a night fill at the local convenience store. Attacked by a supposedly mythical creature, Mary is thrust into a world of the unknown.
Her survival depends on one person, a dark and cold man who is living with the despair of lost love. Can she depend on a man that is so absorbed in his own misery that he cannot see the danger that looms?
Walking down an alley at five am in the morning wasn't the brightest thing that Mary has ever done, but in one brief moment she altered her world forever.
TM Watkins lives in Brisbane, Australia with her family. When she's not working or running around after her family, she spends her days contemplating the next adventure for her characters and her nights writing about them. Her life as an author began on Wattpad and Radish Fiction under the pen name xMishx.
TM Watkins draws inspiration from everyday life, gazing out the window and frequent loitering around the internet. Writing late at night is fuelled by the love of coffee and chocolate. Distraction is found everywhere including but not limited to - the family, the cat, the need for coffee, an itch, a brainwave for a brilliant idea, work, writer's block, social media, temperature, and life in general.
The love of vampires has come from Bram Stoker and Anne Rice, in particular, the movie adaptation of her novel Interview with a Vampire. Other favourite authors include JRR Tolkien, Harper Lee and Sylvain Reynard.
