Letters to Elise: A Peter Townsend Novella

April 19, 1836

I'm writing this in the corner of the room with trembling hands. The candle long since burned out, and I sit in darkness, yet I can see perfectly. I wanted to believe this was some parlor trick, that the man who found me was merely a magician or a doctor, but I'm unable to refute it any longer.

My name is Peter James Monroe, and I am a vampyre.

In My Blood Approves, Peter Townsend fell in love with Alice Bonham, but she wasn't his first love. In a novella told through his letters, his history is revealed.
