The Evolution of the Vampire Book II Raksasha is a continuation of an idea I've had in my head since my high school days. I've read a lot of great Vampire Novels by some unbelievably talented authors, but I have had an idea in my head of how modern day vampires came into existence and evolved into the sexy, wonderfully evil, and powerful creatures they are today for as long as I can remember.

Then I go through those when I sit down to write and pick out the best and most pertinent ideas I came up with and start the next part of the journey there.
