Now Available: THE VAMPIRE SHRINK, Medallion Press, October, 2007. Here's a blurb: Denver Psychologist Kismet Knight just wants a little excitement in her life. A little publishing fame and fortune. She doesn’t believe in the paranormal. Especially not comic book creatures of the night. But when a new client pulls Kismet into the vampire underworld, and introduces her to gorgeous Devereux, who claims to be an 800-year-old vampire, Kismet finds herself up to her neck in the undead. Not to mention all the other weird stuff crawling out of Denver’s supernatural Pandora’s Box. And if being attracted to a man who thinks he’s an ancient bloodsucker isn’t bad enough, someone – or something – is leaving a trail of blood-drained dead bodies. Then there’s handsome FBI profiler Alan Stevens who rocks Kismet’s world in more ways than one. He thinks the murderer is a vampire. But they don’t exist, right?
Denver Psychologist Kismet Knight counsels vampires. Her life changed forever when she discovered a preternatural underworld, met Devereux, the powerful leader of a vampire coven, and was forced to rethink her notions of “reality.”
Still adjusting to her new role as an expert on all things paranormal, she schedules what she believes is simply another radio interview. She couldn’t be more mistaken. Not only does the radio host behave very strangely, but an ominous, on-air call from day-walking vampire Lyren Hallow turns Kismet’s world upside-down -- again.
Shortly thereafter, Maxie Westhaven, a tabloid newspaper reporter in search of a juicy story, befriends Kismet, leading her into a bizarre world of role players, lost souls and death. Enter Victoria Essex, Devereux’s building manager and resident witch, who discloses a startling secret of her own.
Meanwhile, Luna, Devereux’s hostile femme fatal personal assistant, recognizes a perfect opportunity to throw a wrench into her boss’s blossoming relationship with the human psychologist, and, to complicate matters further, Kismet’s old boyfriend, self-absorbed Psychologist Tom Radcliffe, shows up with his own outlandish request.

In addition to being a paranormal fiction author, I make my living as a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, professional psychic/tarot reader, university instructor and workshop presenter.
I love writing about paranormal creatures! Especially vampires. I also enjoy writing about psychics, ghosts, expanded senses, and all things metaphysical.

Blurb for "Diary of a Narcissistic Bloodsucker," available at The Wild Rose Press, www.thewildrosepress.com.
Told in first person by the vampire herself (Zara), this is the diary of an ancient, self-absorbed, yet-amusing nightwalker. She lusts for both sex and blood. Unfortunately, something has gone awry and her normal habits now create new problems to solve. In the midst of sorting things out, she meets an intriguing human named Niven -- a musician who lives in the magical kingdom of contemporary Boulder, CO -- and discovers that he is much more than he appears to be. Then, if things weren't interesting enough, Zara encounters her old mentor/lover -- the vampire who originally turned her -- and things get downright supernatural.

Paranormal writers/authors/readers, authors in general, book lovers, vampire fiction fans, book sellers, book promotion professionals, publishing professionals, people who enjoy Tarot, hypnosis/hypnotherapy, other healing and therapeutic arts professionals, people interested in metaphysics and expanded consciousness.

Thank you for your time, Nikki Huneycutt aka your biggest fan! lol
I feel like I am drowning But there is no water My skin is burning But there is no fire I feel like I am being blown away But there is no wind I am sinking into the darkness But there is no quicksand I feel nothing Yet everything hurts The back of my eyes burn with tears and still none fall My chest hurts I rip out my heart and look at it in my hand It is not beating just bleeding I need to feel something I run my tongue around the inside of my mouth I feel the scars I bite in again The pain is so good I feel the warm blood flow behind my teeth over my tongue I feel it I taste it Yes I am still alive I am still here Does anyone know Does anyone care NO ~tammie~

I may walk the night, dwell in darkness, but I have not forgotten the day The memories of light and warmth are always there, sustaining me. Those I loved but left behind..those who loved me but did the same The innocent smiles and love of a child, the joy of new life rather than the sting of death The soft lips, warm flesh of a lover..the sweet, deep sighs and moans I wanted those, needed those and that has never changed I have seen despair and pain, cruelty and sorrow..tragedy and grief But I have also seen love and sacrifice and hope and redemption I cling to that..long for that, for I know there is a love that will set me free I hear her voice in my mind, smell her scent on the winds of night My heart may be blackened, but is has not grown cold My soul may be stained but it is still my own There are those who walk the day with blacker hearts than mine Darker thoughts, crueler deeds, fueled by hatred and a bigger hole in their soul than I will ever have I am darkness and I am light, I am life and I am death Passion and pain, sorrow and joy..lust and love and eternity Yes, I am Vampire..and a vampire needs to love forever

“One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.”
I hope you are having a BEAUTIFUL week. Hugs and kisses. ~tammie~
