Vampires romantic paramours, or vicious killing machines?


With a mighty hallelujah my fourth book in The Inquisitor Series, The Vampire of Rome has been released. I still have the never ending porch build, a lead-footed wife, reshoots for the book trailer of Soulless Monk, work, and Reserves (it’s always in the 80s in Puerto Rico) but at least my book is out. Let's watch a video to celebrate.

 
 
My friend and fellow author Laurie Vincent sent me some questions in reference to Vampires. Now Laurie writes erotica, sometimes humorous, sometimes adventurous, but always well done. You can follow her on twitter here -
 
 

 
And check out her latest book Shameless Captive here -

SHAMELESS CAPTIVE
 
 
So let’s move on to the first question, remember these are not questions a dark urban fiction writer would worry about, but questions one might have to answer if writing Vampire Erotica. Is Vampire Erotica a thing? Maybe it should be.


Laurie - When the vampires in your book bite people, do they die, becomes their slaves or get turned into vampires?  Do they die, become slaves -

Yes. There are different kinds of Vampires. They are categorized by what they feed on for nourishment. Quotes are from The Vampire of Rome.

First off, you have the Drakuls, from Eastern Europe. Those suck blood, and their feeding is messy, so if you see blood sprays, it's probably one of them.

"Next up you have Djirie from the Middle East. They drain the fat from their victims, leaving the corpses looking shrunken, like they haven't eaten in a year. Bite marks will be in the stomach. They're got a long raspy tongue that scoops up the fat.

"Intelicus feed on the brains. Their typical range is Greece and modern Macedonia. Their fangs are the front two teeth, and they bite the head. The fangs are hollow and they inject a type of acid that liquefies the brain. Then they just suck out the liquid. By doing this, and we still don't understand how, they get all the knowledge of their victims. Preferences are for the very smart or witches and warlocks. All Vampires can do some magic, but Intelicus are far and away the best at it.

"Kinkos are from the Far East. China, Japan—there have even been some reports in the Philippines. They drain their victims sexually. Corpses will have their genitals gnawed off.

Do they die, become slaves –

If the Vampire kills, drains the victim completely, he or she “usually rises after three days and becomes Undead, bound to the Vampire and utterly loyal. They're strong but slow. Bites usually lead to an infection that you may or may not recover from.”

As for making Vampires -

"Vampire Lords are how you get more Vampires, but they can only make a few. Our best guess is if they [Vampires] survive for about 200 to 250 years, they become even more powerful. They can do magic, mostly transformations, like into bats or fog, but some mind magic and bindings and similar. It's at this point that they've changed over into a Vampire Lord.

"Once they become a Vampire Lord they can create a Zombie—resurrect a soul from hell and bind it here on earth in a new body. Zombies are just as fast as one of the Undead, but they have the smarts and abilities they had before they died. Create a Zombie from the soul of a gymnast, and you have one that will win the gold every time. Summon a witch or warlock, and you have a zombie that can do magic."
 




 
 
 
 
If a vampire was going to bite a woman and his fangs slipped (by accident, of course), and he bit her on her breasts, would she become a vampire? Would he have to bite her on both breasts, or just one, for the bite to "take?" Would it matter if she had breast implants? On a similar note, if a woman vampire bit a man on his "man parts," would he become a vampire?

 
And now we see the difference between Smexy Vampires and the killing machines that inhabit the world of Inquisitors. Depending upon what type of Vampire (see above) different parts of the body are targeted for sustenance. Humans are food, and thought of as such, feeding is not foreplay.
 
 





 
Okay that’s enough for this week Laurie has many other questions that I will get to over time.

I’m currently on a writing hiatus, this will probably last until this weekend when I will once again return to my office, which some have mockingly referred to as a garage, and either start on number five. There is also the option of another short story. Or perhaps I'll begin on a new series.

More details on which way I'll go to follow.

Short post about The Vampire of Rome, and things


Sorry everyone, but between trying to get The Vampire of Rome out, Reserve Weekend, the Neverending Porch, the Lovely Dr. Farish's lead-foot, re-shoots for my next book trailer, and so on, I've not really had the time to do a proper post.
 
 
Bad part is I've got some great, funny, smexy questions from Laurie Vincent @mnnovelette , about the sexual side of Vampires (My Vampires? Ha!) and I've managed to read several books, most of which are worth telling you about.
I'll do better next week, promise.
 
 
 
Good part -You can pre-order The Vampire of Rome here

 

And Saturday, the 15th you can explore the hidden world of Rome with Brothers Sebastian, Tristan and Malachi. As for the Vampire, think Dracula's angrier meaner cousin. He's not cruising high schools looking for his long lost love, he's draining and dismembering cardinals to terrorize the Vatican, for reasons.... That's why Br. Sebastian is on the case.
Too bad one of the Brethren is betraying Sebastian's team.
Oh and the Police and Carabinieri are looking for them. They have questions about a gun battle and arson.
There's also undead clowns, monkeys, elves and a few other nasties in the way as well.

The Vampire of Rome is coming for you, and There's a mystery to solve!


The Vampire of Rome is almost ready. A final scrub and then it's off to be formatted, then uploaded to Amazon and Smashwords. If everything goes smoothly there, it will be ready as an e-book. While this is going on I'll be getting the full cover made, that's adding the spine and back cover. One has to wait for the book to be formatted because until the book is formatted you have no idea how many pages the book will be and so do not know how big to make the whole cover or the width of the spine.



As promised Brunette Sonya pictures and one of her older, blonder sister, Veronica.

Review

 

EM Kaplan's Josie Tucker series, is the exception to my rule that cozy mysteries are not for me. Despite a lack of star-ships, machine-gun wielding dinosaurs, zombies, or a battle cry of “Blood for the Blood God,” I enjoyed this book, even more than the first. And yes, you can read this one as a stand alone.

Josie, a snarky food blogger who's got a sensitive stomach, travels to San Francisco on a dual mission; meet the long distance boy-friend of her BFF, and check out if his start up company is going somewhere, or is a money pit.

Said boyfriend is underwhelming, and his partner is missing. “There's a mystery to solve,” and Josie springs into action, breaking the law, getting underfoot, learning the proper way to burlesque dance from professionals, and some how, figuring out what's going on.

If you enjoy fast, well-written, often funny stories, I think you'll enjoy this series. I know I'll be reading Dead Man on Campus.
 
 

I'll tell you about it when I do.

Excellent series, just finished book three of the four books published to date. Think Dune, mixed with Trader Tales from the Golden Age of The Solar Clipper Series. So no Patrick Stewart or Mentats, nor quirky side kick, but there are space battles and cyborgs.
Mages are how ships can travel from star to star in days, instead of decades. The hero starts off working on a freighter, and things go sideways for the crew rapidly as space pirates (no not former Browncoats) working for a criminal syndicate want the Captain dead and the ship's mage for impressed labor. Very well done series so far.
Probably have a write up and review for you next week. I may also have something to say about the Stephen Attebrook Mystery Series. As this is next on the TBR list
 
I've enjoyed the previous five books, and I bet number six is no different.
 
The book trailer for Soulless Monk is in post-production, and with luck will be complete this weekend. I'll be sure to include it in next week's post.


How's that for a book trailer? Interested? Of course you are, so click on the link below and read all about the hidden evil in Providence, Rhode Island for yourself. Then find out about Brother Sebastian's other adventures. Finally there's also a freebie, a short story featuring Brother Maurice.
