Crazy Vampire Life Guest Blog with Maya DeLeina

Erotic Vampire Author Maya DeLeina here, welcoming all to my guest blog post.

My crazy vampire life

I love anything and everything Vampire. Dark gothic imagery gets my heart pumping. Black leather, lace and corsets are a must in my daily attire. Men with muscular physiques, pale skin and a downright right bad-boy look makes me weak in the knees.

Well, when you are born and raised in Hawaii, the surroundings don’t particularly lend themselves to delve deep into these dark passions. I lived in perpetual sunshine. Can’t really have a delicious fantasy of a sexy male vampire brushing up against me unless I want to also imagine 3rd degree burns from him bursting into a bonfire. And amongst the sea of tanned men in surfer shorts, it’s hard to imagine that pale naughty-looking man standing there totally rocking that biker look I thirsted for. Lastly, swaying palm trees and crystal blue waters—yeah, those are the makings of dark gothic imagery.

I think not.

And what about the Leather, lace and corsets you ask? Let’s not even go there. Ever try putting some leather on while sweating? Not a pretty picture. If anyone was a fan of “Friends”, think back to Ross using baby powder to slip his leather pants on…

The moment I relocated to Colorado, my love for vampires rekindled and my passion never burned brighter. The setting was just perfect; the cold, misty mountaintops, creepy graveyards, enchanting forests and howling creatures in the woods. Add to all of this the fact that I moved to Manitou Springs, a town rumored to have wizards, witches and vampires and I just couldn’t help but becoming an Erotic Vampire Author.

The town is widely known for their mineral springs that are said to have healing powers. Spigots are situated along streets that allow travelers to take in the flavor of the different springs and test the magical powers for themselves. I would say the town is a free-spirited, but I have seen and heard some strange stuff to admit that this reputation has no merit.

Don’t believe me? Check out this post:

“It's the strangest place I have ever been to. There are witches, warlocks and wizards all over the place as well. If you do some researching on Manitou Springs you will find things such as blood drinking vampires and child sacrifices scattered throughout the history of the area.”- http://www.generalforum.com/travel/manitou-springs-strange-place-72801.html

Alright, child sacrifices are bit of a stretch. But with the town holding annual Coffin races through the streets, having a 500-million-year old underground world as a major tourist attraction, a haunted cemetery and fabled underground tunnels—who could blame anyone for having that kind of take on the town?

I didn’t have to look far for my setting for the setting of my Vampire book series.

The Ambrose Heights Vampires Series:

The Ambrose Heights Vampires (AHV) is set in Manitou Springs. Ambrose Heights is the gated community that sits hit up on the mountain, overlooking the town. The town’s residents don’t quite know what to make of the mysterious neighborhood. If they did some investigation, they would realize what they were living among.

After all, Ambrose translates to Immortal.

AVH is slated for seven installments where characters from each book will weave their way in and out of the stories of each book. If you are one bit curious about Manitou Springs, you can guess that the series is packed with adventure, mystery, naughty sex and imagery and tales that can only be Manitou Springs.

What else Maya?

Here is what I have going on for the 2011-2012 horizons:

  • Book 2 of the Ambrose Heights Vampires series.
  • A collection of Vampire short stories
  • Book 3 of the Ambrose Heights Vampire series.

Tonight, Rain Calisto searches for her man, and Rhys Matthews comes into focus. He is well-built and sinisterly sexy. In the same Denver nightclub, Armand Anastasio searches for his woman—Rain.

But the men are more than gorgeous.

They are vampires, and they are unmated.

A chance encounter lands Rhys and Rain together. Their attraction remains undeniably powerful and they fall prey to lust. With each passionate tryst, Rhys senses a connection that goes beyond the flesh. Unbeknownst to Rhys, Rain is a diabetic. Her insulin alters her biological makeup, disguising a revelation he isn’t quite prepared for.

Rain is Rhys's fated mate.

As they struggle with this knowledge, another bombshell is dropped. Rain’s insulin-laced tissue creates a rare vampiric blood that can fetch a hefty profit, and Armand has always known this.
Is his attraction to Rain genuine, or is he just out for her blood?

This is the diary of Rain and Rhys.

Recorded here is their transformation from a flesh fantasy to eternal love.
