About this ebook

They say breaking up is hard to do, except when one lover discovers the other is a vampire.

This is psychological vampire chase drama (Novella 14 chapters), as a man struggles with his emotions after he discovers his former lover is part of a strange breed of vampires. He must decide whether to pursue her and what to do, if and when he finds her.

Excerpt:

Beauty is not a substitute for humanity, and no being can truly live and love without its humanity........

Scattered dimly lit incandescent bulbs along the walls provided an eerie light, casting ominous long shadows from the columns and beams that formed the skeleton of the structure. Once a busy sturdy structure, its only immediate function now was as a final meeting place for one hunter and one hunted. I wondered which one I would be. A rusty steel mezzanine on one side of the building was lined with small offices. All were dark save for one at the end, which had a pale yellow light shining through its window. It was my reluctant destination.

This decrepit structure seemed like a highly inappropriate place in which a thing of beauty would have to die, but she had chosen the place, not I, and I would do what I had to do to finally bring it to an end. Beauty is not a substitute for humanity and no being can truly live and love without its humanity. My soul would somehow summon up the courage to put out the life force of a beautiful creature that had no apparent soul. I would live with the deed forever but I could rest with it, having no regrets, knowing that no other human would die because of her. The priest seemed right—she was evil, albeit beautiful.

I would find her up there in the mezzanine, alone and waiting for me: beautiful, seductive, smart, and the embodiment of death all rolled into one. Man’s insistence on using logic to solve problems must sometimes give way to the need for the use of other brutal means—for evil circumstance respects no logic and must be dealt with accordingly.

I walked slowly and cautiously toward the long metal stairs that led to the mezzanine, my footsteps echoing throughout the eerie empty structure as if emphasizing my determination to find what I was looking for. As I approached the base of the stairs my shoes sloshed through several puddles of water created by rain that had leaked through the deteriorating roof, slightly slowing my approach to the inevitable.

As I reached the first tread, I stopped and moved my right hand down to my side, feeling through my trench coat for the dragon handle of the dagger that I had carefully attached to my belt. It was still securely in place. With my hand still in place over the handle of the weapon, my mind flashed back with thoughts of her and what had happened to bring me to this dark and cold place for an equally dark and cold task. I went back in time, frozen, while I replayed the scenes in my mind....

....She walked around to my side of the desk and put her right hand over my clasped hands. “Have you not one ounce of pity for me?”

I looked down at her hand gently resting on my hands—so slender and graceful—and felt her soft skin on mine, then looked up at her as I abruptly pulled my hands away from her. “I pity those who so unwillingly gave the blood that runs through your veins. I pity those poor souls. You’re a being that lives in a strange macabre world, not one filled with sunshine, but one filled with storm clouds with blood raining down. Yes, I pity those poor souls whose only mistake was that they ran into you.”

Frank Arcilesi has a degree in Mass Communications; and Mathematics from Towson State University in Maryland. He has written numerous stories, and articles on collecting, travel and other topics, and has financial and business experience.By Toni Hull of Epic Book Promotions:Frank Arcilesi has recently authored Everyday a Bird Learns How to Fly.Montgomery Village, Maryland is an area of rolling green hills, beautiful parks and cherry blossoms. Dubbed ‘The Best Hometown in Maryland’, Montgomery Village is a short train ride from Washington DC, and less than an hour’s drive from Baltimore. Along with 40,000 other people, Frank Arcilesi calls Montgomery Village his home.The air was crisp and the sky was bright the October morning that I asked Mr. Arcilesi to fill me in on his novel Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly, and his life in general.“I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland with my mom, dad and older brother. The city had a special charm with its small ethnic neighborhoods and friendly people. Of course there were the Orioles and Baltimore Colts, until they (Colts) were unceremoniously hijacked at midnight by the Mayflower vans. Johnny Unitas and Brooks and Frank Robinson were my heroes.When I was a kid my mom worked as a buttonhole maker in a custom suit factory and my dad pressed garments. These were tedious un-fun jobs but they kept food on the table for my brother and me. School was a little out of the ordinary. My high school was all male and we had to rent female cheerleaders from other schools for our football games. We never knew if they were really cheering for our team or the opposition.” Today the cheerleaders are more honest in their enthusiasm since the school is now coed. Later I attended college just eight miles north of Baltimore at Towson State University. That is where I studied mass communications and mathematics. I’ll let you decide which one I found boring.”“How about favorite places?”“Antiques shops are fascinating and I will stop at any new one I discover. I also love to drive through the countryside of Pennsylvania during the fall. In the summer though, my favorite spot is the resort town of Ocean City, Maryland, with its sandy beach and long, long boardwalk stretching past the many souvenir shops and food stands. I also like to search the small resort town for new restaurants specializing in fine seafood. There are some excellent ones which I discovered recently nestled along some of the marinas and bay inlet areas. Enjoying fine seafood with a view of boats and water in front of you, can’t be beat. I also enjoy eating pizza, chicken, New England clam chowder, crabs, peanut butter ice cream, and gummy bears.”“Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly is the name of your book. What is it about ?”“Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly is set in a small town during the late ‘50s. A boy by the name of Jimmy is finishing up his senior year in high school and is feeling his way along a well traveled route of learning to become a man. A young, married woman enters his life one day and everything that once seemed simple is suddenly complicated by friends, family and life’s simple rules in general.--------------------------------------------------Book Review:By Midwest Book Review:'The stepmother of one's best friend in high school - there doesn't seem too much potential for romance. "Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly" is a classic love story about Jimmy and Carol, only Jimmy is fresh out of high school and Carol is older and the mother of his friend. For 1958 in a small community in the state of Maryland, it's not the most kosher thing socially. Jimmy and Carol are stuck in a conflict of love and respect, and have no idea which will win out. "Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly" is a fine addition to any romance shelf and for anyone who wants a controversial love story.'
