Half LIght by E. Leverett Taylor
The rich creativity and imagination of men nourished Morven the Succubus, but her feeding grounds provided scant satisfaction, until she found Daniel. He had potential, but the wrong woman, wrong job, wrong life depleted him of the very substance she needed. Just a little tweak here and there would make him a happy man, and much tastier.
Half Light has depths that angels can rise above, and heights that fallen angels can drop beneath.
There’s far more to this book than meets the eye at first reading. You’ll want to read it again after it sinks in.
About the author. As a child, E. Leverett Taylor told herself scary stories to keep the bogeyman in the closet at bay. After earning a ‘useless’ college degree, the author joined a ships crew and sailed to China. She earned USCG certification in various engineering positions, then beached herself to earn her masters degree. Her second ‘useless’ degree led her right back to sea. She sailed over 400,000 nautical miles on ten ships, a couple of oil skimmers, numerous hydrographic launches, and other sundry small craft.
The bogeyman has taken on more recognizable forms since her early stories, but she continues to acknowledge his origins in her love of fantasy and myth in both books and life. She has been published under various pen names so if you think you recognize her style, you might be right. Her work has appeared in Pacific Yachting, Vigilance, Spirituality and Health, Venture Inward, and other print and web venues.
