It'd be exceptional to read a series that draws the reader into the darkness deep enough they feel they're on a unique ride with a species that has fascinated so many writers in so many different ways. I must make the time to check out your version. Thanks for sharing this glimpse into it.Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13009609859622288428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-52329807422357096332010-04-24T20:34:50.914-04:002010-04-24T20:34:50.914-04:00I am drawn the the dark side of vampires, for sure...I am drawn the the dark side of vampires, for sure. No shimmering like diamonds vamps need apply. The reason vampires are so sexy in the first place is that they can kill you with the same bit that could bring you sexual pleasure. Take that away, and you take away so much of their allure. <br /><br />Your series sounds fascinating, can't wait to read!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464825897916175425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-11709829263866812752010-04-23T20:32:06.629-04:002010-04-23T20:32:06.629-04:00Dana, you make a great point about balance.

LOL, I had a lot of fun taking pics with my pretty poster (which I won here at Fangtastic Books). ;-)<br /><br />Estella, yes, the danger and excitement that the dark side presents really does add to a story. It raises the stakes, tests the characters' integrity, and pushes the boudaries between good and evil<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Leigh M.

And without the dark side, the light wouldn't have anything for comparison. Erotic romance is a perfect place to allow the darker side out in writing - if you're going for the HEA, it's going to glow next to the darkness. IF this doesn't make sense, blame the Vicodin, btw! <br /><br />And that's an awesome picture, Ms. Lane!Dana Fredstihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802936840624512415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-6395597916223440952010-04-23T16:35:11.089-04:002010-04-23T16:35:11.089-04:00Isabel, thanks for stopping by!

I agree that everyone has a dark side--and what better way to unleash it to its fullest than through literature?<br /><br />Joder, I think it's true that exploring a character's darker side makes him or her much more believable. Even when it's a monster, it shows a fallable, human quality that can be both (or either) disturbing or provocative.<br /><br />Roxanne, I think the darker side to me will always win out, especially in my writing. It just feels right. ;-)Leigh M.

Of course I already know your books are great lol but it's always nice to learn something about a favorite author.<br /><br />What draws me to the dark side? Everyone has that side to them, they just don't know it. Writing a darker story lets me explore what 'normal' polite society would never allow. Plus, it's fun!Isabel Romanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05143812677263412322noreply@blogger.com
