Hello, there! I’m Octavius Evander. And this is the beginning of my story—well…sort of. It’s not the very beginning. As a vampire, that story would be way too long to write down—think, before the Romans. Rather, this story is about how I met the love of my unlife. Okay, it will be mostly about the cool and fancy detective agency I opened and solving mysteries, but also a little about love too.

So, what does one need to open a detective agency, you may ask? Well, for one, a detective. As it was my idea, and I paid for everything, I, of course, filled that role. Next, I needed a secretary. My beautiful and marginally dangerous best friend Scarlett filled that role. Now, I will admit, at that time, I had not thought further than that, and simply skipped to getting my detective license, an office, and some other necessities.

My mind might have been too full of the fun adventures I was about to have. My hope was that those in and out of the paranormal communities would keep me entertained for a very long time. I quickly realized I still needed a driver, a tech person, and a witch that was good with ghosts. This is the story of how I found those people. And who would have thought the first to walk through the door would be human, with no knowledge of the paranormal—my precious Turney.

Starting this one. I’m so looking forward to a light hearted paranormal mystery. Plus this is a new author for me.

The name Octavius Evander is so extra 😂 I'm expecting some comedy. It says slow burn with a little heat...that wouldn't be my first choice, but I'm here for blood, gore and violence.

Ok, this is starting out over the top crazy! Vampire Octavia’, is wow, starting with prat fall, and hand made flyers… a bit juvenile? But I’m digging it. Loving his BF and zombie secretary, Scarlet. She’s so serious, and obviously the smartest one.

Ok, it gets even crazy crazier, Octavius can turn into a bat!

Well, their first case did involve lots of gore. You got that wish.😂

When ever Octavius poofs into a cute little bat with a squeaky high pitched voice… My mind eye at that point envisions cartoon characters. Think chibi in an anime/manga 🤣

The bat voice is so cute but also hilarious. I love that this ancient vampire is a BTS fan. It's all fun now but bring on the violence and gore!
