Do you love
vampires? Are you fascinated by the mythology of these creatures, who present
as human but can cause so much death and destruction? I studied vampires in
popular culture for my bachelor’s degree at university many years ago, and that
brought me to the point of writing my first vampire novel, Love Hurts (A
Redcliffe Novel). I am now writing the last book in the series, and my vampires
have battled with hunters, werewolves, witches and their own kind. To love a
vampire is to enter a world of danger. Part of their allure is the promise of
magic and power, but truthfully vampires exist only to feed. They can feed on
more than human blood, but feed they must, and when they don’t, the
consequences can be very dangerous. Here is an excerpt from book 5 in the
Redcliffe novels series, Heart of the Vampire:
“You found a way to
survive,” my vampire replied gruffly.
I laughed, but it
was not amusement that brought such a reaction.
“I survived,” I
said, emphasizing the word, “because of your brother. Danny saved me. He
sacrificed his wolves so that I could claw back some human strength. Maybe
that’s what caused this…” I gestured to the empty space on the bed behind me,
“thing with Suri.”
“Perhaps,” Jack
replied quietly, “But the point is, you survived.”
