Welcome to my Valentine's blog today!

Blood and Roses

(why you can’t beat lesbian vampires)

For this Valentine’s Day, a group of Eternal Press authors with all levels of romance come together to discuss who the best lovers in fiction are. This means that all of a sudden I, whose characters have mostly been human women dealing with human love interests and adversaries, am in the company of werewolves, shape-shifters and vampires…Wait a minute. Vampires. The idea draws forth the image of women in sexy Goth attire. I’ve been wondering if they do sparkle. That’s beside the point, anyway, because none of us has ever met one for real, to verify or falsify that theory. Here we go. Even though I’m a little out of my depths with this supernatural valentine, I can do something with vampires. I keep it human all year, so at this party with my fantastic fellow authors, I’d like to hold my own. I should have to warn you, too, because I believe when it comes to them (the vampires, not my fellow authors) we are allowed to make stuff up.

Cecily did something completely unexpected. She reached out to touch Leila’s face with a cool hand and then leaned in to kiss her. Leila learned that there was an advantage to vampire-old-age, because with it came experience. She was melting into the kiss, her worries dissolving into nothing. She couldn’t wait to get the biting business out of the way and get down to it. She was beginning to understand why this was supposed to be so good. Cecily’s kind had had a lot of time to practice sex.

Come on, imagine that, the skills a person could learn over the span of a few hundred years--and the insights they’d have on society, politics, history…vampires could be fun to hang out with for a multitude of reasons. I’m also sure they really love red. They’d love Valentine’s, right? There’s something we have to get straight, though, pardon the pun. Valentine’s Day with a bite could be awesome, but not so much of it kills the human--that would really take the fun out of it. Does it turn the human into a vampire (how would I know)? Well, it doesn’t in my universe, just adds shades of red.

Why lesbians, you ask? That’s a given in my writing--I’m just expanding my horizons with the paranormal. Mix archetypes and images, and you have two women (one of them potentially with sharp teeth) in a sexy romantic tangle. Imagine.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
