At Last–Luke Answers the Rest of the Questions (Dual Vampire Interview Continued)

Two vamps contend with a vexatious list of questions…

Robin Layne, Author

For newer readers: The opportunity to interview vampires through the Vampire Lover Blog Award inspired this blog a few years ago. To read the rules and questions, go to https://vampireloverblogaward.wordpress.com/about/

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…

Interview of Emile Dubois (villainous hero of ‘That Scoundrel Emile Dubois’) by Laura Lee

Not a Vampire Lover Blog Award interview, but very entertaining none the less.

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.

Francis James Franklin (Alina Meridon)

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.

Francis James Franklin (Alina Meridon)

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…

MP 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…

Vampire Interviews: Hilde and Michel

Megan interviews Michel and the beautiful, bisexy Hilde…

Megan 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…

Carletta’s Second Interview: Not-so-sweet 16 Responds to the Rest of the Questions

Robin sits down with cool, confident Luke and the lovely Carletta over a coffee and cassette recorder for an interview with two vicious vampires…

I’m a Recepient of the Vampire Lover Blog Award!

Megan corners a bored vampire and sinks her teeth in…

Megan Cashman

So, I’ve been nominated for another blog award! Yay me!

Fellow vampire novelist, Franics J. Franklin, nominated me for an award he created for vampire enthusiasts. He nominated a few weeks ago and I’m only getting around to receiving now mainly because I wasn’t sure which vampire to interview. My vampires are the villainous type, so who should I feature while making the interview somewhat entertaining?

After checking out how the other blog award nominees interviewed their characters, I decided to take a big risk and interview…Daniel Bertrand, née Poncher, Claire’s boyfriend who is secretly a bloodthirsty vampire and wants to make her one, too.

Brace yourselves…

MC: Good evening, Daniel.

DB: (bored tone) Evening.

MC: You look well rested. Had a good, er, day?

DB: Yes.

MC: OK, let’s get started. Where do you come from?

DB: I was born nearly 700 years ago in medieval France, in Paris…

Alyth’s Ex

Alyth’s ex-gf Tina turned up last night and offered to take the quiz…

Francis James Franklin (Alina Meridon)

My friend Alyth and I met up for drinks last night. Being a Tuesday night, the bar wasn’t too busy and we were able to relax and talk comfortably. ‘How was the solstice?’ I asked her. (It really has been that long since we last talked properly – we haven’t seen each other since the end of term.)

She laughed. ‘I missed the sunrise, can you believe that?’

‘How did you manage that?’

‘I wanted to celebrate dawn at Cairnpapple Hill. It’s the oldest henge in Britain. On the mainland, anyway. I set off, realised I needed petrol, so drove around looking for a petrol station, then got lost, nearly fell asleep at the wheel, and then got stuck in the middle of a flock of sheep for ages. It was as if fate was against me getting there…’

We talked for a couple of hours, catching up, and were…

New Kid on the Block: Hugh answers 11 questions

Recently turned, poor Hugh is in existential agony…

Robin Layne, Author

Francis Franklin, who made the Vampire Lover Blog Award (and who is re-blogging this one with comments) says you don’t need to be nominated to play; “it’s just an excuse.” If you blog at all (or just want to for the contest–after all, free blogs, like this one, can be easily started), please do. And let me know. I want to read what you come up with.

Alas, I have not heard from the well-known writers I nominated. We shall see yet, but they are probably too busy with published authorly things to slum with the likes of me. (Francis has at least published a book, Susie and the Monsters.)

Now I bring you the final vampire in our series of interviews–the one I almost forgot, because he is so new: I bring you Hugh, the 17-year-old whose hazel eyes change with his mood or clothes, and whose eyes…
