The poems in this book were written to encourage, comfort, and inspire. Just as a flower needs both sunshine and rain to flourish, so it is with mankind. Sometimes we welcome sunshine and shun the rain, but both are needed in order to flourish. Too much of one and not enough of the other can be detrimental. It even takes a ray of sunshine after the rain to create a rainbow. This book consists of a group of poems that reflect on the upshot/results of both sunshine and rain.

She sailed into the room like an angel from heaven and sat beside me. I just wish I could remember what happened next. I’ve never been the sort of man to meet a woman in a bar and take her home for the night. But this time I’ll make an exception. I’d really like to see her again. The problem is I just can’t remember more than a first name and the city she lives in. But I’m not worried, I’ve taken on bigger problems than this. Never, not even once, have I had a one-night stand. But, something about the sweet, sexy stranger had me following him up to his room. I also never drink so much that I can’t remember the night. Until now. Well, live and learn I guess. Except it was a huge lesson. One I’ll have for the rest of my life. One that made that little stick turn blue. What do you do when the dad is no more than a blurry image? You move back to your hometown. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine living with my parents, working in a small shop, and waiting for the next months to pass quietly. I can do this on my own. Except, he just walked into my small store, in my small town, in the middle of nowhere. If it’s a surprise he wants, then it’s a surprise he’s going to get. The surprise of a lifetime.

In the waning days of World War Two, with the Allies advancing, a desperate Nazi officer unearths an ancient force of evil that he hopes will turn the tide of battle: a vampire.
