National Adopt a Vampire Month

For those of you who don't know, it's National Adopt a Vampire Month over at Jaye's Blahg. There have been plenty of great posts from my fellow authors who also write about those of the sexy, sharp-toothed persuasion *g*

And tomorrow Jaye is kindly allowing me to guest blog about why I think adopting a vampire could be one of those life changing things - well, that's how it happened for me anyway ;)

Jaye Wells is herself a writer and fan of the fanged, and her own book RED HEADED STEPCHILD is due out in September 2009.

To find out more, pop on over. Not only is the reading excellent entertainment, but you can win books! Yes, there are prizes, so what are you waiting for? Go now and enjoy!


ETA - September 2008:

Here's a copy of the post from Jaye's Blahg Go check out the rest of the posts back in March - great fun was had by all *g*

Just why should you adopt a vampire?

Going by all the fantastic posts so far, I'd be surprised if there is anyone
out there who hasn't already made the decision to adopt their very own
vampire. But just in case you need a bit more persuasion
information on the subject before taking that momentous decision, this is
for those of you who are still wondering what all the fuss is about.


Want to go on a world tour with angst? Take a journey with Akasha and
Lestat as Anne Rice tells us how The Queen of The Damned goes for world
domination.

Fancy a Greek god in leathers? Why not choose one of Sherrilyn Kenyon's
hot Dark Hunters.

If a mysterious castle, bug eating slaves and a pack of pet wolves is
your thing, then you have to meet The Count himself - Dracula.

Maybe you need to work off some aggression by slicing and dicing?Grab your sword and turn vigilante along with Blade.

Feeling thirsty? Indulge in a bottle of synthetic blood with
Charlaine Harris' super hot bad boy viking, Eric.

Need a bit of creeping dread to get your heart thudding, as you realise
the slavering monsters are real? Go Vampyrrhic with Simon Clark.

Does the thought of losing all that blood make you feel faint? Try a
date with Jim Butcher's sexy Thomas instead.

In the mood for some laughs with your fangs? Wander round San
Francisco with Chris Moore and his Bloodsucking Fiends.

Do those little grey cells need a work out? Go on a murder mystery
weekend with Vicky Nelson and Henry Fitzroy in Tanya Huff's Blood Ties.

Searching for your soul mate? Look no further than Christine Feehan's
romantic Carpathians.

Want to get up close and personal and indulge your Guilty Pleasures?Then dive into the wonderful seductive world created by Laurell K
Hamilton.

Feeling oppressed and itching to rebel against the aliens? Follow
David Valentine into E.E Knight's conquered vampire earth.

Having a really bad day? Try kicking some serious arse with Nancy
Collins and her Sonja Blue.

But if those don't snag your interest, then keep looking because there are
more vampire books out there than you can shake a whole load of stakes at.
But, one last warning for any of you thinking about giving the vampires a
try - once they sink their fangs into you, and you have a taste of what they
can offer - well, there's no escape after that, they'll keep you under their
spell for all eternity.

And just to add to the persuasion information sharing for
those who might still be crouching behind that door, and wondering whether
adopting a vampire is the right way to go - If you've already succumbed,
then who was the first vampire you ever met?
