Book Promo: Excerpt! Behind Blue Eyes by DM Wolfenden


Cain was born in England in 1917. At the end of WWII Cain returned to England, longing for the comforts of home, but found his mother was different; she had been changed by a vampire who preys on women.

There came a point where his mother felt there was no choice…Cain had to be turned as well.

After watching his mother die he changed his way of thinking, his way of feeding. He tried to reclaim some of his humanity but it was not easy as he was fueled by rage against the one that had changed her. He wanted his revenge and nothing would stop him.

After he was attacked he comes across a young girl, ten year old Mia, whose innocence is slowly being taken away from her. They needed each other, and both their lives depended on it.

The world was a very bad place for Mia. She was about to find out just how much worse it can get.


He found the pendant on the floor and he straightened the catch. Then he placed it back around her neck, smiling gently at her. “Are you ready?” he asked as he went to open the door and lead her out. She nodded. “When I tell you to run, just run, Mia. Do not look back.”

She wrapped her fingers around the pendant and nodded again, unable to find her voice.

“Hey! Where do you think you’re taking her?” Joe called out as Arben ran toward them.

“Run! Now!” Cain shouted. He grabbed Arben by the throat and threw him against the wall.

Mia got to the front door and looked behind her. The man with the scar was on the floor unconscious, but the older man and Billy were running at Cain.

“Go!” Cain shouted at her.

She opened the front door, worried about what they would do with Cain, if they were going to kill him. She looked back again. What she saw completely stunned her, rendering her incapable of comprehending what she was seeing.

Billy’s head jerked back, Cain’s teeth locked in his throat. Cain shook his head violently to the side, sending a spray of blood splattering against the wall. With one hand he lifted Billy off the floor then threw him across the room as if he weighed nothing. He then grabbed hold of the old fat guy, but in turning saw Mia staring at him.

No, no, no! “Mia, go now!” he begged.


D.M. Wolfenden loves all things that go bump in the night, and describes herself as a tattooed horror addict. But you would never know it when talking with her, she comes across as a little shy and reserved. She can hold her own working in the mainly male environment offshore, though.

Because she works away from home on the oil rigs, she treasures her time at home with her family. She would love to be surrounded with pet animals but her job prevents it. DM loves to travel, read, watch the latest blockbusters and much to the disappointment of her friends and family, she loves to cook.
