So I wanted to write a modern vampire love story, that didn't stray too far from the traditional undead mythos (say like vamps that sparkle), but I wanted it to have my own unique flavour. A tall order? Maybe, but one I wanted to undertake not only for my own personal satisfaction, but for the readers who seemed to be searching for this type of material also.

And so My Love Eternal was born! Or was resurrected might be a better explanation. My Love Eternal was originally written about fifteen years ago (yikes, how time flies) during a few melancholy months, post break-up with my first real love. Then it promptly went in a box, and was forgotten about for many years. I did bring it out a few times, read over it with wistfullness, and even began re-working it on a number of occasions, but nothing concrete until the summer of 2008.

This new stab at bringing this story to fruition came after another bump in the road of the journey called life. After a series of amazing twists and turns, and a chance correspondence with a favourite author of mine, I came upon the website Absolute Write. There I met a fellow fantasy/horror writer, who has become my beta reader/editor extraordinaire and close friend. I was so inspired and encouraged by this community that I wrote two successive novels, and thus The Dark Kiss Trilogy was created.

So, have I succeeded in my quest to make an enjoyable, traditonal yet original vampire series? I hope so. Am I satisfied personally-absolutley! The feedback thus far has been positive and sales are happening, so I guess now only time will tell.

Happy reading!!
