Interview & Giveaway on Patricia’s Vampire Notes

Interview & Giveaway on Patricia’s Vampire Notes

I truly enjoy each visit I get to make to Patricia’s Vampire Notes and I can’t thank her enough for all of her support from day one. This giveaway has three prizes and three winners and runs through to the end of March. Please swing by, say hello, and post a comment for your chance to become one of the winners.

Here’s a taste of the interview:

PVN: Dante is a vampire (and much more). Please describe the characteristics of the vampires you have created.

Adrian: You bet. In The Maker’s Song world, vampires (nightkind) are a separate species, not undead. They have heartbeats, warmth—though this generally fades when they don’t feed—and beauty. Oh. And sexy. They have many powers and abilities (some of which only manifest with age) such as telepathy, heightened senses, enhanced speed and strength, grace and reflexes, the ability to fly, work illusion and suggestion, immortal—but capable of being killed (in the proper manner, of course). LOL.

There are two kinds of vampires—born vampires, known as True Bloods, and turned vampires. True Bloods have become few and far between during the last few centuries, giving rise to the fear (among nightkind elders) that the sacred Bloodline is dying out, diluted over the course of time by all the turned vampires (including themselves).

A True Blood is regarded as nightkind royalty and viewed as a force of nature, a night elemental, by the human nomad clans—a being they respect. Their abilities—telepathy, enhanced strength, speed, etc. are magnified a hundred-fold. A born vampire’s blood brims with power and magic—power and magic they can bestow (temporarily) upon anyone who takes a taste of their blood.

Never having been human, True Bloods tend to isolate themselves from mortals (except to feed and play) and view the world in a very different light.

Nightkind are sensitive to light and need to avoid the sun. True Bloods need to avoid the sun at all costs and usually that’s easy because nightkind—turned or born—are subject to Sleep during daylight hours. Wherever they are, whatever they are doing, Sleep steals over them in a dark and narcotic tide and down they go—helpless until dusk.

READ THE REST.
