The Case of the Virtuous Vampire
by Monette Michaels

Abigail Merriweather Gooden isn't your typical Austin, Texas lawyer. Sure she has the so very chic law offices on West 6th Street and the prominent social status that comes from old Texas money, but she also has magic with a "k." Abbie, after all, is a witch. So, it isn't surprising that the preternatural community sends all its legal matters to her. Such is the case with Jurnik Golub, owner of Exotica, a popular Austin gentlemen's club. Jurnik is a vampire - - and someone has attempted to frame him for the murder of one of his strippers. All lawyers like innocent clients - - and Jurnik is definitely innocent, being that he was sleeping the sleep of the undead during the time of the murder. Abbie along with Lucan Knight, the shape-shifter private detective Jurnik has hired, must race to find "whodunnit" before the Austin Police haul Jurnik in - - and he becomes a crispy client.

Monette Michaels' Bio

For the last twenty-one years, I've been a lawyer practicing everything from criminal defense to probate. A regular Renaissance lawyer. More recently, I gave up trying to change the system and have concentrated my practice to being a professional neutral--which means I try to help people solve their problems before they go in front of a judge or jury. My philosophy is if you can't work within the system -- find a better system. Aiding and abetting me in my life's goal of changing the world is my Pathologist husband of twenty-eight years and my teenage son who is trying hard to be cool right now. We also own a large cat--or, more accurately, he owns us. We're still trying to figure that one out. A life-long Hoosier, I currently live in Carmel, Indiana, a suburb of Indianapolis.
