Before my post, I had to share the new book video for Sinners’ Opera, a vampire paranormal. This video, created by Noelle Adams, rocks! The music alone is enchanting.
The allure
of the vampire has been proven by the plethora of books, movies and TV. I don’t know how many times I’ve read
that the vampire market is flooded, but vampire books are still selling.
I think power
and mystery make the vampire alluring.
Living above morals and immortality is alluring. Sexually, vampires are supposed to be
sensual lovers. The total
liberation from inhibitions at the will of a powerful being is enticing.
The vampires
of today have come a long way from Nosferatu
and the early Dracula. The more horrible aspects of the legend
are played down, but I read the other day that the old legendary creature is
making a comeback.
In my
mythos, people who become vampires never died and do not sleep in coffins. They are light sensitive but garlic and
the cross do not affect them. My vampires are mutations, their DNA having been
altered by a blood-borne pathogen, passed from host to fledgling in a ritual
blood exchange.
Sophistication,
intelligence, wealth are sexy. The
vampires in my stories tend toward the svelte, beautiful and worldly. In Black
Swan, I introduce a group of people who willingly submit to the vampire in
exchange for the ecstasy of the Kiss.
These devotees are called Black Swans.
And I’m sure
we vampire fans will all agree that kisses on the neck are a sexy form of
foreplay.

Sinners’
Opera is the book of my heart. You
can see from the video that the hero is all of the things a vampire should be,
though the teaser doesn’t mention
“ruthless in the pursuit of his dreams”. Sinners’
Opera is available in print and eBook on Amazon: or at the
publisher: Double Dragon eBooks
You can purchase a copy at Double Dragon eBooks

My latest vampires are featured in Cardinal Desires, also available in print or eBook, from Double Dragon Publishing or from Amazon. This novel, which won the Georgia Romance Writers’ Magnolia award, pitches a forensic psychiatrist and a vampire together against an animalistic serial killer called the Vampire Slayer.
About me? I’m a mother, an author and a legal assistant. I love sports cars, piano, symphony, winding roads, Bluebonnets and other flowers that I am prone to kill, cats, horses, spring days with the top down…I could go on and on. I’d rather learn about you. Leave a comment for a chance to win a Vampire wine glass and Sinners’ Opera trading cards.
Thanks for
stopping by!
