Description

Jack King is a postmodern vampire who's assimilated into contemporary American life and upper middle-class culture. He works from home for a software company. And, except for his need to drink blood and avoid sunlight, he lives a successful, if routine, life. Until he meets Holly.

Holly, a commercial photographer, is the blonde whom Jack wants to impress. She's smart, attractive and they click. She's also mortal, which means he can't tell her his true nature. This also means Jack must hold his bloodlust in check around Holly. Their first date is a debacle, but he wants to see her again.

Just when Jack sets up a second date with Holly, his employer sends him and his co-worker, Ted, to Hong Kong to deal with a big client's issues. Unfortunately, the problem is more complicated than they anticipated. In fact, their business contacts in Hong Kong have set a dangerous plan in action, one that could have dire consequences. As Jack and Ted team up with them, Jack's blood-deprived vampire body threatens to reveal his true nature...

Unexpectedly, his would-be girlfriend, Holly, is in Hong Kong, too, and wants to meet up. Will their second date be a comedy of errors like the first one? Can Jack hold his vampire hunger in check when Holly's at her most vulnerable?

But things with Jack's business trip really begin to spiral out of control when Ted, his translator, goes missing. This means Jack has to deal with the worsening business fiasco without his right-hand man.

Meanwhile, Jack seems to have caught the attention of a dangerous adversary, rogue scientists who are determined to gain the secrets of his biology. Their goal is nothing short of creating a drug that could change medical science -- and the future of mankind -- forever.

Betrayed and gravely wounded, Jack goes on the lam in China with the help of a mysterious friend. However, he quickly discovers that his tentative freedom will come at a price.

Separated from Holly and worried about her, Jack follows the lead of his mystical guides to what he hopes is the path to a ticket home. Alas, he descends into a counterculture where he must choose his path with care. And, if he tells the whole truth, he may lose everything and everyone he holds dear.

Will Jack be perceived as a monster, or will he learn more about vampirism than he ever wanted to know? Will Jack ever see Holly again? As his enemies begin to close in, will Jack become entangled in an uprising that could mean the end of his existence?

Join Jack King in MUSINGS OF A POSTMODERN VAMPIRE, a wry and darkly funny sci-fi / fantasy thriller that is packed with international settings, sophisticated plot twists, and intelligent, original characters. This is P.J. Day's debut novel.
