   __
  
  _In the novels_ _ **Fangs & Lullabies**_ _and_ _ **Demons & Lullabies**_ _, I
  have attempted to give readers a peek into the very unusual family formed by
  Jacob and his fathers, Andrew and Nicholas, both of whom are vampires. These
  two stories offer snapshots of Jacob’s and his fathers’ lives from his birth
  to adulthood._
  
   _This sample ebook is constructed the same way, although with fewer and
  shorter snapshots. Some of them were written as answers to prompts from
  readers and first posted as flash fiction on my site; some were written
  specifically for this ebook._
  
   _Whether you are just discovering the members of this little family or have
  followed their adventures before, I hope you will enjoy these glimpses into
  their lives._
