Gamer, Geek, and Legendary Vampire – Bill Ryder is an unlikely hero trying to survive in a world of undead horrors. Despite awesome powers, loyal friends, and a Brooklyn-sized attitude; the odds are stacked heavily against him. Bill must fulfill his destiny and save the world from the ancient terrors threatening it – all while trying to build some semblance of a social life.

BILL THE VAMPIRE

Bill Ryder was a dateless geek until he met a girl to die for - so he did. Sadly for him, that was just the beginning of his troubles.

SCARY DEAD THINGS

One of the most powerful vampires in the world wants Bill Ryder’s head. A pint-sized princess wants the rest of him. Too bad it's not clear which fate is worse.

THE MOURNING WOODS

A war is brewing between the vampires and bigfoot, ancient enemies since the dawn of time. If it can’t be stopped, the veil will be lifted and all of humanity’s darkest nightmares will be unleashed.

HOLIER THAN THOU

On the eve of war, The Icon – legendary enemy of the vampire race – has arisen. There’s just one small catch: Bill Ryder is in love with her. Panic is about to break out within the ranks of the undead and Bill is caught smack dab in the middle of it.

----------

Join Bill in these laugh-out-loud tales of terrifying monsters and middle-fingered mayhem. If you enjoy The Dresden Files, The Nate Temple series, or The Preternatural Chronicles, then you’ll want to dive right into this bloody good time.

Get ready to die laughing with The Tome of Bill, the quintessential vampire comedy series!

The Tome of Bill

The Tome of Bill collection - Vol 1: Books 1 - 4

My name is Sally. For over thirty years I’ve prowled the night, one of the undead. In that time I’ve walked amongst you – a wolf in sheep’s clothing – doing unspeakable things, killing countless people.

Now, on the eve of Armageddon, a chance for redemption presents itself. My past has come looking for me, beckoning me back to the city of my rebirth.

Those who killed me the first time are intent on finishing the job. I’m outnumbered and outgunned, but they’re sadly mistaken if they think for one second that I’m outclassed.

Unspeakable horrors, both old and new, await me in the City of Sin, but in the end they’re all going to learn one very painful lesson: Payback is a Bitch.

Sunset Strip: A Tome of Bill Adventure

THERE ARE REASONS WE FEAR THE NIGHT. HE’S NOT ONE OF THEM.

Loud-mouthed gamer Bill Ryder thought the dice had finally rolled in his favor when he met Sally. Sadly, his triumph quickly turned into a critical failure - leaving him at death’s door with his throat torn out.

Now he’s a vampire, trapped in a world of monsters that are stronger, deadlier, and a hell of a lot cooler. They’re giving him just ninety days to prove he has what it takes to be an apex predator of the night, assuming he doesn’t give them a reason to dust his ass sooner.

This game isn't over yet, though. Turns out a vamp like Bill hasn’t been seen in centuries. He’s got a few tricks up his sleeve, unexpected allies, and an attitude that's too obnoxious to quit. He’ll need all that and more if he doesn’t want to end up even deader than last time.

Join him in this hilarious tale of bloodthirsty beasts, gory mayhem, and an unlikely hero who's still at the bottom of the food chain.

Holier Than Thou: A Horror Comedy Calamity

THERE ARE REASONS WE FEAR THE NIGHT. NOW HE’S TRYING TO STOP THEM.

Three months have passed since the fateful encounter in New York City that ended with the disappearance of Bill Ryder – gamer, geek, and legendary vampire. Now he’s back – reawakened halfway across the globe with no allies, clothing, or clue as to how he got there. The only thing he’s certain of is that his captors plan to use him for their own nefarious ends and don’t care how much blood they spill in the process.

Escape might be the least of his worries, though. Civilization teeters on the brink of chaos. Mythical beasts, once thought the stuff of fantasy, are breaking through the veil, intent on waging war against mankind. At their forefront stands an ancient evil, the last remnant of a people thought long dead, and it’s about to cut a swath of destruction through the world not seen since biblical times.

Bill’s only chance is to reclaim his life, reconcile with his friends, and muster every bit of attitude he can – because if he fails, Hell on Earth will become far more than just another corny saying.
