My Zombie Fiancé - T. Strange
M/M paranormal romance
Edward Grey is no stranger to the undead; since
raising his cat as a zombie when he was a child, he and his mentor Mariel have
explored and developed his power as a necromancer. Despite everything he's
learned, as a necromancer and a medical student, he's never encountered a
ghost.
While Mariel is unreachable in Haiti on mysterious
business, a ghost wakes Edward in the middle of the night, claiming to be his
grandfather. When the ghost offers to teach him about this different form of
undeath, Edward has little choice but to trust the spirit.
After receiving a phone call from a young girl
claiming her father is possessed, Edward and his Undead Canadian fiancé, Kit,
must travel to an acreage in Kingston…Ontario.
The haunting proves far more complicated than
Edward could ever have guessed, and he finds himself pitted against an ancient
evil determined to engulf everyone on the farm.
Edward's love and connection to Kit will be tested,
and his necromancy stretched to his limits as he has to find—and destroy—a
twisted spirit more powerful than anything he's ever encountered.

All of My
Zombie Boyfriend took place in one city, but in My Zombie Fiancé Edward has to
leave his comfort zone and head to Kingston—Ontario.
I don’t
remember exactly how it happened. It might have just been for the joke:
““I have to go
to Kingston.”
“Oh my God, no way! I’d love to go to Jamaica!”
“Kingston, Ontario.”
“Oh.”
I certainly didn’t set out to write
a novel set in Ontario, especially a city I’ve never (shhh!) been to, but I
think it’s fitting. I have a lot of roots in Ontario; the ancestor I can trace
back the furthest in my family tree, a band major who served in the British
Army in India, moved to Ontario and started a farm. My ancestors farmed in
Ontario for several generations, until they headed West. I’m sure I still have
many relatives there.
There’s a new character in My Zombie
Fiancé, Claude Jenkins, who is a little tip of my hat to those early Ontario
farmers. Even his name has meaning for me—my grandfather’s middle name is
Claude, and it was his father’s name, too.
I also apparently have a thing for
string players from Ontario??? My last ex was a double bass player from
Toronto, and my wife is a cellist from Hamilton (she insists that she isn’t from Hamilton, because she was very
young when her family left and she doesn’t remember it. But she was at least born there).
Ontario is a beautiful province, and
one I’d like to explore more in the future! I hope My Zombie Fiancé will
encourage and inspire you to visit.
