Bite Me
Hi, everyone! It’s a pleasure to be here at Star-Crossed Romance today. And since I’m here to talk about one of my all-time favorite paranormal creatures—the vampire—I’m in a really good mood :-D
I remember the very first time I saw a vampire movie—it was the Lost Boys, and oh, but those boys were good vampires. Well, good in that nice, bad way.
Over the years, there were more vampires to come for me. I caught the Dark Shadows series when it briefly re-appeared on television. I saw the dozen or more Dracula movies that filled the movie theaters, and, when Buffy appeared, I was introduced to the wonder that was Spike.
Oh, yes, I’ve been a vampire fan for a long, long time.
The very first book I published was a vampire novel. But, then, I took a vampire detour and began writing about shape-shifters (because I do enjoy my shape-shifters!). In my upcoming release, IMMORTAL DANGER (3/31/09 from Kensington Brava), I go back to my writing roots, and I get to combine my two loves: My heroine is a vampire and my hero is a shifter.
But, Maya Black isn’t just any vampire. To borrow from my Buffy fandom, Maya Black is what Buffy would be if Buffy ever had the misfortune to become a vampire. She’s tough, she’s smart, and she doesn’t take crap from any supernatural creature.
Now, for fun, I thought I’d list a few reasons why I love vampires:
1. Eternal youth. (Come on, young and strong forever! So what if you have a liquid diet?)
2. Because, like George Hamilton in Love at First Bite, I do love the nightlife.
3. My previously mentioned Spike notation.
But what about you? Do you like the vamps? Why or why not?
Thanks!

BEING BULLET PROOF SUCKS—LITERALLY
Once, Maya Black was a kick-ass cop patrolling the streets of L.A. She still keeps the city safe, but nowadays her bad guys of choice include demons, werewolves, and assorted nocturnal scum. Something Maya knows a thing or two about. She’s a vampire—and not thrilled about it. Payback meet bitch.
Adam Brody hopes Maya is as dangerous as they say she is. He needs her to help rescue his niece Cammie from a ruthless band of vamps, and he’s willing to pay—in blood. Trusting her is another matter. Adam has never met a vampire who doesn’t lie. Then again, he’s never met anyone like Maya, who fills him with a desperate need that ignites into explosive, no-holds-barred encounters…
