What does a five hundred year old, incredibly cultured male vampire want? A soul mate! My Fair Pixie is a paranormal romantic comedy by Samantha Winston, that deals with the world trying to make the best of a relationship between the vampires and the pixies--with all the troubles that go with it.

After yet another party with the all vampires whining about their lives, and werewolves going crazy having sex under the table, Sebastian is given a ticket to the game show, The Mating Game. Before going to the show, he stops by the local park for a quick snack: a local jogger. But his snack is a bit off, tainted with red wine and, of all things, Viagra. By the time Sebastian gets to the game show and is mistaken for one of the contestants, he's beginning to feel the effects.

Jennifer finds out being a pixie is not all it's cracked up to be when she goes on a TV dating show looking for love and a chance to go to a real live dude ranch. She finds herself drawn to the contestant with a foul mouth. With hopes of a good time, she picks him as her date. She soon finds that he is the one for her, but has to make everyone else see that. That's where the test and education begins.

My Fair Pixie is a return to the wild, wacky sense of humor of Samantha Winston. She is known for wickedly funny comedies such as Darla's Valentine and The Phallus from Dallas which was co-written with Ciarra Sims. Ms. Winston also wrote the touching contemporaries Grand Passion and The Argentine Lover. She is a multi-genre writer of comedies, contemporaries, and fantasies along with historical and science fiction. She writes young adult novels as Jennifer Macaire. This is a truly great story and I would recommend that if you have never read anything by her, you pick this one to see how great of a writer she is.
