About UNDEAD AND UNWED:

Bridget Jones’s Diary meets What We Do in the Shadows in this bitingly funny supernatural romance about a vampire finding herself and falling in love during the Christmas season.

Tiffenie may be three hundred years old, but she’s still a hot mess. The vampire is tragically single, works a dead-end job at a blood bank, and spends her nights marathoning Hallmark Channel movies with her cat.

When Tiffenie inherits a fixer-upper home in Valentine, Vermont, thanks to a case of mistaken (okay, stolen) identity, she seizes the chance to get her life back on track. With her newly undead neighbor (it was an accident!) in tow, Tiffenie is determined to live out her holiday rom-com dreams in this picture-perfect town.

But between the mystery of her stolen identity, small-town drama, and the arrival of her insufferable vampire ex-boyfriend Vlad, getting her happily ever after with a hot Christmas tree farmer won’t be easy. To uncover what she truly desires, Tiffenie must embark on a journey of self-acceptance for the first time in her immortal life. Luckily, it’s never too late to start therapy.

With biting humor, supernatural chaos, and plenty of spice, fans of Rachel Harrison’s So Thirsty or Jessica Clare’s Go Hex Yourself will laugh and swoon as Tiffenie bungles her way to her own version of a happily-ever-after.

About the authors:

When not writing rom-coms, author Sam Tschida (pronounced cheetah) is probably flipping channels between Dateline and the latest reality dating show. She braves the Minnesota winter with her four resigned children, two snuggly dogs, and one sizzling-hot husband. She doesn’t drink alcohol, never touches caffeine, and is always on time. Just kidding—did you read how many kids she has?

Tasha Coryell lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, with her husband and son. She holds an MFA and PhD from the University of Alabama. She is the author of Love Letters to a Serial Killer, and her stories, essays, and poems have been featured in a multitude of journals. In her free time, Tasha can be found running, cross-stitching, and watching copious amounts of television.
