The Sturgeon Moon and A Vampire's Unlikely Alliance

Aug 10th The Sturgeon Moon and A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance

The Sturgeon Moon is not just another full moon; it possesses a rich tradition and significance deeply rooted in cultural history. An important question arises: Why does it hold such prominence, and what activities or traditions can be tied to it? The Sturgeon Moon, which typically occurs in August, signifies a time of abundance as it coincides with the sturgeon fishing season in North America.

Historically, the name “Sturgeon Moon” originated with Native American tribes, who used it to signify the month when sturgeons were most easily caught in the Great Lakes and other waterways. The full moon was a reliable indicator for fishing, ensuring enough food as the growing season neared its peak. This practical knowledge underscores the intimate bond between indigenous cultures and celestial events.

Speaking of full moon, let’s take a moment to peek in on Stephen in A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance.

Stefan is a Native American vampire, former assassin for the Vampire Council. In a twist of fate, he now DJ’s the midnight shift for a small radio station in Whitefish, Montana, on the edge of Glacier National Park where his secret is safe until…

Born in Ireland, Brandy now works as a park ranger and trail guide in the park. During a full moon, Stefan and Brandy’s paths cross in a near physical collision on a trail. Their attraction is immediate and undeniable, almost as if fate demanded it.

Their union was foretold long ago in Irish folk tales where vampires and gryphons, warlocks and demons, witches and faeries must work together for the good of man and magic kind. Is a trip to Ireland the key to unravelling secrets and returning the magic?

A sneak peek between the pages of A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance:

The sun slid behind the mountains, setting the azure sky ablaze in hues of red, orange, yellow, and pink. Then red shifted to purple and dusk faded to semi-darkness under a mesmerizing full moon washing everything in a shimmering silver glow. as he jogged toward the trails. She stood leaning against the rock where he had started his run last night. He’d tried to convince himself to stay away, but in the end, the urge was too strong.

In a whisper of movement, he was at her side with his hand on the rock just above her shoulder. “Waiting for someone? Brandy, is it?” The scent of warm, perfumed female skin wafted over him as he leaned into her.

“It took you long enough, Mr. Talltree.” Her full lips formed a slight pout as she lifted her chin and tilted her face up to meet his. “Nice to see you again.”

There was no hesitation or apprehension in her lovely features as he moved closer, placing his other hand next to her left shoulder, effectively pinning her against the rock. He wanted to wrap his arms around her lithe, warm body and brush his lips over her sexy pout. But he thought better of it, not wanting to scare her off…not yet.

“Yes, it is.” He let his gaze wander leisurely up and down her luscious body. “Didn’t your mother warn you about the dangers of stalking a stranger at night in the park alone?”
