A paranormal romantic comedy with plenty of bite.


When Dracula throws out his back at a disco in Australia, he’s diagnosed with advanced osteoarthritis—a fate worse than a wooden stake! 

Frustrated by the hospital’s “quack” remedies, Drac seeks out alternative healing and meets a charming vegan naturopath who stirs memories of a lost love from his Transylvanian past.

Determined to win her heart—despite a few centuries’ age gap—Drac soon discovers he’s not the only one vying for her affection. A jealous secret admirer lurks in the shadows, ready to fight fang and nail for her attention. Luckily, Drac has his loyal (if somewhat questionable) sidekick Renfield to help… or hinder.

With the local police closing in on his true identity and a romantic showdown brewing, Drac realizes one thing:

Dating sucks. Big time.

About The Author

Gary Lonesborough.png

Paul Mahoney writes under the pen name PM Mahoney because someone else had already published using his name (how weird is that?) He is an accomplished author who loves writing romantic comedies and mysteries. 

In 2020, Paul was also awarded a certificate from the Premier of Queensland for his quick action in helping to save the life of an elderly lady. 


As well as being an author, he is also a screenwriter who has had one feature film, Ruby's Choice (2022), made which starred the iconic Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman). That movie led to him becoming a Global Ambassador for the Dementia Foundation's Spark of Life program, reflecting his commitment to improving dementia care through storytelling and advocacy. 


Paul has had several other feature screenplays optioned and is hopeful that further films will be made in the future. His work has earned international recognition, including awards from prestigious screenwriting competitions such as the Euroscript Award in London, the Pasadena International Film Festival and the Faith & Family Script Showcase in Los Angeles. 


He is forever in debt to his better half, Solange, who helps to keep him on track, despite his constant wandering off to look at shiny things that capture his short attention span. He hopes to write many other books that he thinks would have made his beloved and late sister Michelle laugh.
