    Oh my gosh. Excuse me while I drool. If KillianRussell doesn't write this story I might just die.

    I think I've seen this character before. He's a vegan vampire, isn't he?

    To me yes! And I haven't even read any of them, but it doesn't stop me from being tired of them. :rolleyes:
    I am also tired of the thrillers that follow the same pattern over and over again, so it's not like i'm only against vampire-stories, although I must confess the fantasy genre has never interested me. Instead of following the lead of the other successful vampire stories, (there definitely seems to be some kind of vampire-boom right now) why don't you try and create 'the next big thing', the thing that will inspire future writers to be? Now, that would be a challenge.

    Elvis seem to appear a little everywhere in your writing... :rolleyes:

    "Stuck on a desert island, I wrote my debut novel, "Velvet Elvis " using seal blood on tree bark."

    Might hold a little truth, but imagine if he is still writing it plus the time to getting it published plus time to get it out in the bookstores... we might be talking a couple of years here, and if it's already overdone think about the situation in two or three years from now.

    A pale, translucent, acne riddled pretty fly for a white guy, Vampire, gold crowned teeth, hat sideways, pants drooping as cruises the mean streets of suburban in Mom's mini van. His forearms adorned in ornate grammatically incorrect tattoos the right reads: to fast to live , the left: to young to die

    'Holly Grove' a vampire tale from the less picturesque non Anne Rice, New Orleans where inhabitants cobbled together crosses out of crack pipes to ward off evil.... The bookworm-ish protagonist the illegitimate love child of Louis Armstrong's daughter and Peyton Manning's father. Her ample behind will be the source of dramatic conflict as her ass gets trapped in the door threshold trying to escape time and again .

    As disappointed as a turtle humping a hard hat my amphibious Vampire the product of Dracula fornicating with the Little Mermaid realizes he can not swim and he is allegric to seafood.
