I can’t recall where I found this picture, but my commendations to the artist… Very pretty! Lestat is, by far, my all time favourite vampire!

The Versatile Blogger Award
A nice surprise for the day – Thank you, Lily Wight for this. It is really motivating to see that others enjoy the silliness that traipses through our heads as much as we do 🙂 You are a darling!
Another fifteen truly spectacular blogs:
Seven things about myself?
Well, I shall tell you about myself and add in Herrflic’s info when he wakes up 🙂
1. I love vampires (okay, maybe that wasn’t a stretch of the imagination),
2. I owned an Aqua CD when I was young (very, very young),
3. My parents bred Rottweiler pups when I was young and I grew up around these big, loveable mutts,
4. I am, in fact, a catholic schoolgirl,
5. My favourite band is H.I.M,
6. I teach English to high school children, and
7. I am a Grammar Nazi (only a little).

Sanguinem Emere: Bought in Blood
QUERY:
She lost everything when she was taken, while he lost everything to find her, and that’s before things turned supernatural.
A wealthy heir to a flagging, multinational super-corporation is abducted from a seedy bar in the worst part of town, her feet covered in blood without a memory of what brought her there. A down-on-his-luck alcoholic detective sees it happen while in hiding from his estranged wife, the events all too similar to the case that has haunted his career. In captivity, everything she has ever known will fall apart. In finding her, his life will tumble into disarray, as he uncovers the Templeton Family Empire’s darkest secret. A secret Bought in Blood.
BOUGHT IN BLOOD is a 92, 000 word Adult Fantasy.

FIRST 250 WORDS:
“Come on!”
“Wait, stop. We really need to talk-” Her words are cut-off by a sizzling crack as the flaming roof-strut gives in with a groan. The house is, by now, well on its way to an unstoppable inferno, the blaze from the cellar hungrily licking at the roof and support structure.
“What? Now?! Come on!” His vision swims in the encroaching smoke, his breath strains through clenched teeth, and his hand grips firmly on her upper arm. He starts off, but she will not budge. She seems rooted to the spot.
“Would you like to die here?!” He hisses.
Memories of the evening’s events uncurl in her mind as she absently rubs her blood-covered hands over the front of the torn and ruined towel draped around her, the only defence between her remaining modesty and the outside world. Suddenly she sets off toward the door, slipping like water from his grasp, her feet light. With a curse, he sets out after her.
Resounding with skittering and wheezing, the house is consumed. Along with all that occurred there.
Prologue
Blood. There will always be blood.
The sky opens up gingerly enough for the pale moon to lance through, but not to completely abate the incessant autumn rain.
Blood. It runs though him and over him. The sting of the precipitation in his eyes caressing the red haze over his vision as he stirs spasmodically, his crimson streaked hand reaching painfully slowly to his face, his jaw carefully unclenching.
