About the Book
"Midwestern nice” is hard to pull off when you’re a bloodthirsty monster.
Poor Herb isn’t even sure how he got vamped. One day, it's same old, same old. Cooking at Ronnie's, bowling with the guys, drinking at Steinknockers and pining for Lois, the prettiest waitress in Trappersville. The next, things start getting weird. With no one to guide him, Herb fumbles into his newfound abilities, courting disaster with each bumbling step. Sure, there are some perks. The local stripper wants him, he can do this whammy mind-control thing, and he is getting a lot better at bowling. But he can’t drink beer, the bodies are piling up, and his best friend Dallas is getting suspicious. When Herb and Dallas go for the same girl, keeping his dark secret becomes the least of Herb's concerns.
Booze, billiards, bake sales, babes, bowling, bar fights, blood and karaoke. Who would’ve thought that being undead would make life so interesting?

Reviews (Excerpts)
- "[...] The main character strikes me as just your average type of guy, except he's a vampire. The book centers around him, a beer-drinking vampire that drives a Pinto. The plot was well-rounded, and Wisconsin Vamp definitely gives a reader a fresh look at a popular genre. This is a great book to take to the beach." - Carey January
- "I found myself totally engrossed in this book about a small-town restaurant cook turned vampire by the end of the first chapter. I read the entire book within two days because I had to find out what was going to happen to Wisconsin Vamp Herb, a.k.a. Herby to his friends. The author has a talent for creating descriptive phrases. [...] I recommend this book to anyone who loves quirky, humorous books with a paranormal slant." - C. Gerber
- "The writing is quick and witty, interesting characters and the story is a lot of fun. A great summer read." - BigBadAng (Amazon)
- "[...] It's well-written. The descriptions are great, I felt like I was there seeing it all through Herb's eyes. I'd describe it as a comedic romance/horror. It was a lot of fun to read but you will feel for poor Herb! I will be reading more from this author." -M. Abbott
- "[...] I'm glad I stumbled upon this quirky little gem. While more humorous than scary, the book has plenty of tense moments and an engaging narrative that pulled me all the way through the story. Think Big Lebowski meets Shaun of the Dead." - Trish (Amazon)
