About the Author

Cat Rector grew up in a small Nova Scotian town and could often be found simultaneously reading a book and fighting off muskrats while walking home from school. She devours stories in all their forms, loves messy, morally grey characters, and writes about the horrors that we inflict on each other. After spending nearly a decade living abroad, she returned to Canada to resume her war against the muskrats. When she’s not writing, you can find her playing video games, spending time with loved ones, or staring at her To Be Read pile like it's going to read itself.

Find her on social media or visit her website, CatRector.com

This book is as close to an autobiography as I'll ever write.

It's fiction. Of course it is. It's about a woman who grew up in an impoverished ex-coal mining village who meets a queer vampire who is grieving the lost loves of his life, and how they might just be able to find a way out of the dark. But it's more than that.

It's an ode to... everything. To all the vampires I loved as a teen and an adult (sup Spike, Simon, and Astarion), who I wished would take me somewhere else. To the person I was, and the person I want to be. To family and friends and to the deeply complicated place I grew up, that I love so deeply and caused me so much grief.

Primarily, this book is about two hurt people finding each other and reaching for something better through the veil of her abusive marriage and his grief. It's soft and funny and dark, and built on the backdrop of a paranormal horror story with romance.

Cathartic. That's always my goal.

The book comes to you in three Points of View. Laurel, Spencer, and the village of Penny Harbour. Penny Harbour is not a PoV for the faint of heart. Much like most of the worldbuilding of the book, each story from that PoV is based on a kernel of truth. Each vignette represents someone who lives in the fictional village and their life. The people and the details are made up, but some part of every scene is true. The truth might belong to me, or it might belong to one of the real people who asked me to memorialize their story in the pages of this book. The stories involve heavy topics, because when your home is built on 300 years of death and trauma, how could they not?

Trigger warnings for those PoVs will be available on the website and in a glossary at the back of the book, but include topics like SA, abuse, alcoholism, death, and poverty. It's not for everyone.

Ironically, this dark book is also the one that brought me back to falling in love, and so how could I not be in love with it in return?

I hope you like it, but more than anything, I hope it makes you feel something. Life is hard. Change is harder. But change is possible. If a traumatized woman from an ex-coal mining town and a sassy queer vampire who lost everything can change, can't we all? ...more "

“You read her books?”
Loki held up a finger. “Don’t say it. She’s one of the best Elven storytellers, and you should have expected it.”
“She writes love stories!” I teased.
He scoffed. “And why should I not want to be wooed?”

“I…” the answer needed to be honest. An easy yes would do me no good. “I will make mistakes. I know I will. But I’m ready to be more than what others made me, than what I turned myself into. I’m going to try.”
