Bio:
June
Mayes is a Cape Cod born and bred writer who lived in London for 10 years
before returning home. She’s a hopeless romantic with a passion for writing all
sorts of genre. Her days are spent juggling family life, walking the dog,
writing and reading books, more books and even more books!
Here’s a
blurb about Afterlife or Bust:
Lizzie is making the best of her life, er afterlife. She's working
hard being a doctor to all things supernatural and for the most part has
managed to behave. With her daytime watcher in tow and a very enticing Master
Vampire turning up the heat of their romance, things couldn’t be better.
Of course things could get worse and do. Being killed again was not part of Lizzie’s agenda and having to navigate the politics of all things that go bump in the night is just icing on the afterlife cake. But Lizzie has plans. She's going to make her death worth living and she is going to drag everyone else along kicking and screaming.

Excerpt from Afterlife
or Bust:
“Sure, I’ll ask them to make an
appointment for you, and Bob’s your uncle. All I need is your name. “I smiled
and was surprised that my canines were down and in full view. Either there was
a threat here I was less than aware of or I was a little hungry. Hmm yup, no
bleeding patients yet today. I would need to go in search of an unwary patient
or two.
“Cuthbert.” The gargoyle brought me
back to what I was doing with that simple pronouncement. “But I don’t have an
Uncle Bob.”
“Forget Bob. Your name is Cuthbert?”
I repeated, stunned.
“Yes,” he continued to smile at me.
Well, it was more a tiny upturn of one side of his lips, which could have been
a grimace or gas come to think of it. No, I was going with smile. He did
genuinely look a little happier, which was a good sign. I did have to look down
and try to school my expression into a calm understanding doctor face before I
looked back up at him.
“A gargoyle named Cuthbert.”
“Correct.” Okay, now I know he was
smiling. There was a dimple in one cheek and everything. Course it came and
went so fast you would have needed vampire vision to see the dimple. But hey,
that’s why I was the vampire doctor.
“OK,” I said calmly before leaving
the room, closing the door behind me. Godzilla came up as if to discuss
something, and I just shook my head at her. Cuthbert the gargoyle. Great.
