In October, 2013, I met with two vampires in a local Starbucks. There Luke helped me do Carletta’s second interview. How do I explain why you were left waiting with bated breath for Carletta to help me interview Luke? Hard to say. But it’s time to get excited, because now you are about to read… the rest of the story! (And no, these interviews are not the AVS stories themselves; the series of books is still in the works—and I promise they will be well worth the wait.)

My daughter drew this Manga image of Luke before his first interview; I colored it . Note the pure white skin characteristic of my undead-type vampires. Live vampires (like Carletta) have more human coloring. My daughter drew this Manga image of Luke before his first interview; I colored it .

Interview with a Vampire: Matthew from War of Destiny by Theresa Van Spankeren

I firmly believe all vampires have souls. I really don’t know what difference having a soul would make since we retain our souls. Now, the question whether that soul is good or bad, that’s another story. We can die. I have learned things over time that makes me believe the soul survives after death. Where it goes, well, I guess that goes back to that good or bad question.

Interview with a Vampire: Julia from War of Destiny by Theresa Van Spankeren

I heard about a website that had really cool questions to ask vampires. I thought it would be fun to ask Julia, the heroine of my series War of Destiny, and Samuel, one of the other main characters to do an interview. They were a little elusive to find, but I finally tracked down Julia and she agreed to answer my questions.

Midnight in Sapphire City

Character interview with Eve from my series The Slave-Girl and the Vampire, adapting questions from the Vampire Lover Blog Award.

This follows on from Sunset in Sapphire City.

*

The moon is bright tonight, the sky cloudless, and being only March there’s a definite chill in the air, softened by the warmth of the room behind us. This balcony looks west to the distant sea over the outskirts of Sapphire City – now almost completely dark – and along the vale of the meandering River Phire. So still is the air tonight that the water is a perfect mirror in places, so that looking down we see up, the river a great crack in the shallow Earth through which we see infinite space, starlit and beautiful.

Eve is in a pensive mood tonight. We kissed tonight, and danced for hours, and generally convinced everyone, even my sister, that we were a couple, two young women in love, a bun in the oven already. I enjoyed the dancing, but I…

Kariyne’s interview with the vampire Hrana

Character interview with Hrana from my Kings of Infinite Space, using questions from the Vampire Lover Blog Award.

Frank's avatarFrancis James Franklin (Alina Meridon)

Cover of my new novella Hrana

The advice for travellers passing through Essetta on the way to Oberno is to travel only during the day, and to spend the night in one of many welcoming Halls of the Sun, safe from marauding vampires within a palisade patrolled by armed guards. Those who heed this advice can be forgiven for wondering if the tales of vampires are exaggerated, a childish fear of the night by sun-worshipping tribes hiding in their hill-top fortresses.

But there is far more to Essetta than these honey-gatherers and tasle-pickers. To discover the heart and soul of Essetta you must brave the forests at night and seek out the nocturnal tribes. Do not do this lightly! Every year there are reports of travellers going missing in the night, and of bodies found drained of blood and some even violated in other ways.

Be sure to wear ribbons in your hair – white if…

Anyone up for interviewing their character? Because I am! Take it over Adrinius (from The Last True Blood) …

A very entertaining interview with M.P. Sharma’s Adrinius – had me smiling the whole way through…

mpsharmaauthor's avatarMP Sharma

Behold Adrinius; I am Dracula’s only true dark successor! After I was sired, the old man got sloppy, and the lineage has been going downhill ever since.

I fail to understand the fascination with mortality in the first place, when you look at me, it’s easy to see why someone, anyone, would want to keep this forever. I find it ridiculously bizarre to have to introduce myself, or answer any questions because the entire vampire world knows and fears me, and those mortals who have had the good fortune of meeting me have never lived long enough to share their tales of being one with their saviour, but I’m in a good mood, so I’ll oblige …

Does living as a vampire have the same appeal as prior to being turned (if you’re that type of vampire)? If you had to do it over, would you?

Life as a human…

Bring Out Your (Un)Dead

Dear Anon,

I know I set this up like a blog award, but it’s primarily an excuse to (i) have fun, (ii) do character development, and (iii) promote.

You can do this as many times as you like, with as many vampires as you like, and you can even bend the rules however you like.

And you don’t have to wait for an invitation… but if you really need one, here it is. I invite you. I nominate you for the Vampire Lover Blog Award.

Regards,
Frank

Vampire Interviews: Hilde and Michel

Megan interviews Michel and the beautiful, bisexy Hilde…

Megan's avatarMegan Cashman

Some of you might remember my interview in August with Daniel Bertrand, the boyfriend from hell in my book, “The Dark Proposal”. It was part of the Vampire Lover Blog award, but interviewing a vampire was so fascinating (and nerve wracking), I decided to do another vampire interview. For this round, I’ve chosen Hilde and Michel. For those who have read “The Dark Proposal”, they are both Daniel’s makers, and go along with tormenting Claire. But what remains to be seen is what sort of a relationship they will have with her in the sequel. 

Here they are:

MC: Good day, Hilde and Michel. Thanks for doing this interview at this time. I know vampires can move around in daylight, depending on age, but I didn’t think you would want to hide your vampire ways for this exclusive interview.

M: :shrugs: We always hide ourselves from humans, so…
