Dark-haired, dark-eyed, Vampire David Hilliard walks into the room carrying a bottle of wine, a large bouquet of red roses, and a box of candy."Roxanne, where are you?"
I follow him inside. "What are you doing here?"
"We were invited back to Fang-tastic Books."
"I was invited. What is all that?"
He grins with fangs showing. I hate to admit how sexy he is.
"Two dozen red roses with thorns for Roxanne."
"Hoping to get lucky I see." He ignores me.
"The bottle is actually chilled blood/vanilla wine. Some humans consider it an aphrodisiac."
"And the box of chocolates?"
"We were invited back to Fang-tastic Books."
"I was invited. What is all that?"
He grins with fangs showing. I hate to admit how sexy he is.
"Two dozen red roses with thorns for Roxanne."
"Hoping to get lucky I see." He ignores me.
"The bottle is actually chilled blood/vanilla wine. Some humans consider it an aphrodisiac."
"And the box of chocolates?"
"I love biting humans who have eaten chocolate. Oh, it's such a good taste. Oh, Roxanne. I don't think she's here. We should start while we wait."
I laugh. "So how shall we start?"
"I'll interview you." He puts everything on the table and takes a seat facing me. "So how long have you been hanging with vampires?"
"I've been studying vamps for over 20 years. But I started writing about them 5 years ago." I cross my legs. "I have a question for you."
David smirks. "Really? Fire."
I laugh. "So how shall we start?"
"I'll interview you." He puts everything on the table and takes a seat facing me. "So how long have you been hanging with vampires?"
"I've been studying vamps for over 20 years. But I started writing about them 5 years ago." I cross my legs. "I have a question for you."
David smirks. "Really? Fire."
"What does a vampire want?"
His eyes widen with surprise. "The easy answer of course is blood, but the truth is eternity is a long time. People come and go in life. In vampire time, years are more like minutes. Finding your life mate changes a long dreary endless existence into an unimaginable bliss. Let me give you examples.
"In When Love Survives, shapeshifter Gregor knew his life mate by sight. In the midst of disaster, he had to keep her safe while helping her to save lives."
"You had a small part in that."
"Yes, but an important part." David leans back in his chair.
The man is perfectly balanced. I think it's a vampire thing.
"In The Stormy Love Life of Laura Cordelais, I knew Laura was meant for me at least I thought so. For a long time, I believed the whole life mate thing to be a myth, and she had a hard time adjusting to being a vampire. But if you really love someone, you don't give up on them. Trevor found that out in A Vampire for Christmas."
We both laugh.
"Georgia though he was a stalker, when he was really trying to protect her from the demons who had marked her for death," I added.
"That brings us to the newest--Vampire in the Basement. It follows what happened to Gregor and Regina when they left New York after When Loves Survives. It also shows Theo, a vampire of Manhattan and also an Arnhem Knight, when he falls in love with that funny but broken hearted rabbit shapeshifter Lorraine. All she could talk about was how warm he was to hold." He chuckles to himself. "Know this—a vampire is cold except to his or her life mate. Then the embrace of love is warm and tender and forever."
"Even in my Greek God contemporary erotic romance Poseidon's Catch, immortality is not all it's cracked up to. Poseidon finds out firsthand how fragile human life is, how love can run through fingers like water. It takes an extraordinary effort to keep it."
He opens the wine and pours some into a glass. After a sip, he sighs. "All of your books are available at All Romance Ebooks, and starting October 1st, a limited print edition of The Stormy Love Life of Laura Cordelais will be available through your website."
He pours another glass as he sees Roxanne come in.
David pours me a glass and we all clink glasses. "Thank you, Roxanne, for having us over."
David pours me a glass and we all clink glasses. "Thank you, Roxanne, for having us over."
Roxanne offers me a chocolate and I take one. I do love chocolate.
