THE HALFLIFE CHRONICLES ARE BACK! Smart-talking half-vampire
Christopher Cséjthe must face down the forces of darkness in the return
of Wm. Mark Simmon's Halflife Chronicles.
Years back, a blood transfusion with a member of the undead left
Christopher Cséjthe a half-vampire. Since that time, he's gone mano y
monster with zombies, werewolves, master vampires, and creatures from
the Cthulhu Lagoon--not to mention an immortal Nazi, an ancient
Babylonian demon, a six-thousand-year-old necromancer, voodoo queen
Marie Laveau, the mad monk Rasputin, and a couple of the Great Old Ones.
As founder of After Dark Investigations, he's seen his fair share of the
seedy side of the supernatural world. He's saved New Orleans from total
destruction in the past. And lost his family to another temporal realm.
To add insult to injury, someone cut the gas line of his SUV and then
ran over him with a semi-truck while he tried to get a tow. But this is
the third time Chris has died.
It's old hat at this point for him. Now, awakened in a world he doesn't
quite recognize, he'll have to use his wits to once again keep the
supernatural world at bay. INTERPOL is interested in some of his
associations with Vlad Drakul's grandson--better known as Dracula--and a
trio of witches from Greek myth want him dead--and for good this time.
Bad enough. But what's worse is that the IRS is looking into his tax
returns and not at all liking what they find. Now that's really
terrifying.
About A Witch in Time:
". . . a snappy, snarky, and surprisingly emotional grand finale that
blends characters from weird fiction, gothic tales, and mythology into
one fun, if crowded, universe. . . .Though the tone is light and
comically cynical, Simmons doesn't downplay the gravity of the history
in his tale, making this a tense and gripping story that is sure to
please series fans."--Publishers Weekly
About the Halflife Chronicles:
"[O]ne of those rare novels that combine levity and the supernatural
in just the right balance."--Chronicle on Habeas Corpses.

"A high-tech heroic fantasy full of adventure, puns, and damn good
reading. Well thought out."--Pulsar
"Frequently fun . . . "--Publishers Weekly
"A nonstop romp through a complex and captivating world! Highly
recommended!"--K D Wentworth
