A Place To Stand

When the first purgatum in over a millennium surfaces, Kristos can't deny the instinct to protect her.

But can he keep her safe when the day-walking vampire from his past will stop at nothing to get his hands on her?

With a simple phone call, 2000-year-old werebear Kristos finds himself inexorably pulled back toward the purpose he was built for.

A purpose he's been trying to ignore for easily half his life.

A purpose he thought had died long ago

But this purgatum is the first he's known of in centuries.

The church killed the last one.

Racing to her side from halfway across the country, Kristos learns that the day-walking vampire from his past is still alive.

And he's probably not looking to rekindle their passions.

If Kristos can't find a way to stop him, it spells certain death for the purgatum, and likely all of the werewolves soon after.

He can't let himself fail again.

Born and raised in Texas, Becca Lynn Mathis has been writing stories and daydreaming about other worlds since she was a little girl reading books in the branches of the tree in her front yard. As she grew, so did her love of stories, so much so that she often got in trouble at school for writing them, even if her other work was already done. Today, she is a graduate of Lynn University in Boca Raton, FL with her B.S. in psychology. She is a dreamer of the highest order, involving herself in as much storytelling and geekery as she can manage, whether that's playing Dungeons & Dragons (or Pathfinder), prepping a musical performance for the next local renaissance or pirate faire, or simply getting lost for hours playing video games like Beat Saber or World of Warcraft. She lives in sunny South Florida with her amazingly supportive husband, their awesome blended family and two goofy dogs.
