- Your vampire lover has been busy, gorging himself on local, well, prime rib. Now, it's up to you to clean up; after all, no vampire worth his canines would be caught alive with leftovers on his hands, or worse under his neatly manicured mother-of-pearl fingernails.Let's face it, not every hunt ends with a convert. Often, the need to feast and the ultimate pleasure that courses through otherwise ...

- Keep in mind that the first requirement for vampiric transformation is death. With that knowledge, one must reevaluate the title Vampire Slayer. To slay is to kill, meaning the final product of slaying is a corpse.Well of course, if you begin your slaying by killing the dead, you can understand the confusion. How does one kill what is already dead?Therefore, how do we define the efforts of those ...

- Being different can be both a blessing and a curse; those who are proud to be different than others may face harsh criticisms and other forms of jeers from people who are either narrow minded or fearful of the unknown. People make fun of what they simply fail to understand and in turn, short changes them in learning more about the world and possibly more about them as part of it. Over time, ...

- Dismembering the story for a look inside.I sat down with a few vague ideas that included story location and the ending.A rainy dismal day evokes a similar dreary emotion. Old unused railroad tracks tell of a forgotten past. A railroad station once the center of a community, when abandoned often houses the homeless, the castoffs.Enter famed vampire hunter Annie Blaine. Her name sounded mundanely ...

- Who did I want him to be and what were his plans and goals? For me, that was the starting point of characterization and the heart of the story's plot.I knew he was a vampire, and an ex-Templar Knight. In many ways they are opposites and yet synonymous. Both killed without remorse. Both considered their enemies infidels, unworthy of life. Templars were reputedly fearless in battle, loyal to a ...

- My new book Fade To Blue is a month away from publication. Man, it's been a long road. Especially since I finished it two years ago. It's like one of those lost albums that's been in the vault because of some disgruntled roadie's lawsuit. But, yes, it's finally coming out. If every single person on Red Room goes to Amazon and pre-orders two copies right this minute, my mother will be very, very ...

- When I began writing the story Templar‘s Fire, a Gothic Vampire novel (http://www.scribd.com/doc/16391295/Templars-Fire-A-Gothic-Vampire-Novel), I started with an image that stuck in my head. I kept seeing this eerie looking guy hiding behind a stone altar peering around the corner as if he was waiting to attack someone. Didn’t know why, but the picture stayed with me.Since my interests at ...

- While driving to my parents’ house the other day, I searched for a decent CD to play because the radio stations offered nothing but noise. As I searched through my glove compartment while still keeping a sharp eye on the road, I discovered a Cure CD (Wish) that I had bought for my ex-boyfriend last year. I was never a diehard fan of their music back in the day but I played the CD out of sheer ...
