Now if you are a Highlander that is another story. They can live a long time; unless they get their head cut off. I enjoyed the interview, and I know that I will enjoy reading the book.

I'm very attracted to the vampire. There's something erotic about biting the neck. The romantically tragic figure of the vampire, cursed to haunt the night, hunts or seduces his quarry seeking to quench the eternal thirst. Then at last, that moment of surrender when the tender neck is submissively revealed and the victim's willingness to be possessed, body and soul, ends in a climax with penetration and blood. This sensuality is what attracts me to the vampire.<BR/><BR/>Ooo! I love talking paranormal movies and books. I love PRACTICAL MAGIC and HELLBOY 1 and 2. And my favorite paranormal book is BLACK BODY by HC Turk. I'm reading tons of paranormal books now. Tons!<BR/><BR/>I'd look really good in the chrome fangs. Would save me time and money for a dentist to file them down to sharp points. *g*<BR/><BR/>My favorite fictional vampire character is Barnabas Collins from DARK SHADOWS.<BR/><BR/>Theresa, you're a very busy lady!

She's already read through all the Twilight books, the Uglies series, Narnia, Little Women, The Hobbit, all the Eragon books, all the Harry Potter books, and she's in fifth grade.<BR/><BR/>But if there's one splurge I'm happy to make, it's buying books for my kids to read!<BR/><BR/>Be sure to encourage her to write down her stories now. You're never to early to begin telling stories. A few books you might want to look into to help her with her writing (if it's fiction) are Techniques of the Selling Writer by Dwight V. Swain and How to Write a Damn Good Novel by James N. Frey. Both give some really specific ways to make your writing better, especially when you are beginning.<BR/><BR/>Tell her I'm rooting for her!<BR/><BR/>Best Regards,<BR/>Theresa Meyers<BR/>www.theresameyers.comTheresa Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993027988958272825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246595.post-84279178117126866772009-03-03T11:30:00.000-05:002009-03-03T11:30:00.000-05:00I especially liked reading about what influenced y...I especially liked reading about what influenced you as a writer -- particularly the books that you enjoyed as a child like Narnia.

According to your interview, we have the same opinions about vampires and vampire lore (and the freshness of the new trends), virtually all the same favorite movies (Stardust is genius), tv shows (I had Dark Angel on my must watch list too), and books, and even the same favorite vampire (Alice is SO cool). This is the first time where I've sat and read an interview and found myself agreeing with everything the person said. I like the sound of the series you're working on now too. I think I need to go ask my mother if she had a family member given up for adoption or something, because this is seriously spooky. Seriously though, thanks for giving the interview, it was really enjoyable.<BR/><BR/>tiffanyak1986(at)hotmail(dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246595.post-84119136870152466522009-03-03T03:59:00.000-05:002009-03-03T03:59:00.000-05:00Hi Theresa,I like the way vampires are becoming mo...Hi Theresa,<BR/><BR/>I like the way vampires are becoming more humanised. Your vampire's virus idea sounds interesting and original. I'll have to check out Salvation of The Damned. Being a biology graduate, I like to know the biology behind things, even when they are imagined. <BR/><BR/>I have a living vampiric fairy in my fantasy series. (For him biting is more a pleasure akin to sex rather than for feeding.) I decided to model him on real vampiric animals that are alive rather than on the myths. <BR/><BR/>I certainly agree that people are fascinated by immortality and also long life. I include immortal fairies in my books, but they are my own imagined creation, not vampires.<BR/><BR/>In your fairy research, I expect you've found the same thing I have. There are so many myths and legends about fairies they can be vampires, shape shifters, immortals or have any type of magical power imaginable. They are wonderful to write about!<BR/><BR/>Interesting blog!<BR/><BR/>HelenHelen Scott Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254001495060374379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246595.post-87864474840741346152009-03-02T22:52:00.000-05:002009-03-02T22:52:00.000-05:00Love vampire books, like the different spin you ar...Love vampire books, like the different spin you are putting your vampires with the virus.
