Thank you to Dana for having me here
today! It's October, so what better
month to talk paranormal? I've always
loved all things paranormal, even before they were called by that name. When I
was growing up, I remember learning about Greek and Roman mythology. I would
read those stories for hours, enchanted by the antics of the gods and
goddesses, along with the other magical creatures. Looking back now, I'm
guessing I must have had the sanitized version of those myths because those
gods were very sexually active. Zeus alone with his conquests could take up an
entire week of reading!
When I reread those myths as a college
student, they were just as wonderful and as an adult I understood the fuller
picture of what was going on in those stories. The sex, the intrigue, the
manipulation...it was like a soap opera from ancient times! My professor in my
Mythology class attempted to keep it all academic, but it was no use. We knew
better. This was interesting stuff.
Fast forward years later and it's time for
me to decide on my own mythology—where vampires originated. I had the entire
world to choose from, but I went back to those Greek myths that had entertained
me for years. I'd remembered hearing the god of the Underworld, Hades, had
fathered one child, a daughter named Macaria. Many stories don't even mention
her, but for me, I knew I had the mother of my vampires and the beginning of
their history. She was a natural. Her father is the god of the Underworld and
the dead, and she's the goddess of the blessed death.
Since that beginning, there's been a
prequel (Vampire Dreams Revamped) and the first two books in the Sons of
Navarus series, Blood Avenged and Blood Betrayed. Now the third book is here,
Blood Spirit. For the Sons, the beginnings of the vampire world are starting to
become important and the Greek myths that are intertwined with my vampire
history will soon come to the forefront. It's all building up to a showdown
between the Sons and the Archons, and that godly heritage of vampires is going
to make a difference.

My favorite part of Halloween is how excited children get for it (costumes, trick-or-treating, etc). But chocolate is definitely a great part of it too, lol.
