FOREVER MAN and FOREVER WOMAN are now available from www.ChampagneBooks.com
It is hard to be human which is maybe why I like to
immerse myself in imaginative vampire lore. And immerse myself I do. I’ve lived
their lives 24/7 as I get the gift of experiencing the richness of this
parallel world. Okay, my human life probably suffers for my obsession at times,
but fortunately I have a loving, tolerant husband and three independent cats
that like to watch me tap away at the computer. I think they find the rhythm of
the keystrokes soothing—just my take as I used to like the sound of my
grandma’s knitting needles clicking away while I sat beside her. I even used
that memory in my third book, Forever
Clan, for the heroine’s Scottish ma.
But I digress. Why is it so hard to be human? Well,
we cannot heal ourselves as quickly as vampires can. Imagine being healed
overnight as you sleep from a wound that would kill a mortal. I’d like that
gift! And for those of you that know me well, you can imagine how I would want
to share the gift of healing after reading my first novel in the series, Forever Man.Vampires have it better on the strength side of the equation also. A drink of blood and they are full of energy. And if the blood comes from a blood bank concoction there would be little guilt, I’m just saying…
Vampires can shape-shift at will. Not a bad ability
to have. Imagine the havoc one could bring to bullies, child molesters,
murderers and other such evil people.
Vampires can live forever. Okay, this sounds good
but what about the fact that if you have regrets in life you have to live with
them FOREVER. But then maybe vampires (at least the uncivilized ones) don’t
carry this guilt. But mine do for the most part, so maybe it’s also hard to be
a vampire at times. But they can’t complain too much as they get to live
forever, for heaven’s sake!
I hope you follow the journey of my vampires,
angels, and Fae that exist in the pages of the Forever Series. Forever Man was released by Champagne
Books in July 2012 and Forever Woman on October 1st, with Forever
Clan January 2013. I love to hear from readers and writers alike!
Best Wishes,
