Touched by Midnight

Sink Your Teeth into Touched by Midnight


Way back in the mid-‘90s, when the first wave of vampire romance crested, three historical vampire romances appeared but even after awards and critical raves, quickly turned to dust and were never seen again . . . for 20 years. A real Sleeping Beauty tale.

While New York publishers were sure a stake had been pushed through the heart of paranormal romances (hmmm, sound familiar?), a feisty small press called ImaJinn Books, started by author Linda Kichline showed the big houses they couldn’t be more wrong. ImaJinn picked up that buried Midnight series and breathed new life into it with Books 4-9.

Flash ahead to present day . . .

ImaJinn Books is rereleasing ALL nine books in the “Touched by Midnight” series, including the original three, a book per month! Book 4, MIDNIGHT ENCHANTMENT will be rising up to take a bow any minute now. While we wait, here’s a look at Books 1-3 with their brand new covers!
