Special Repost: Who's Who in the Annabelle Universe? Dominic Pratchet
DOMINIC PRATCHET
This is the closest I have to a pic of Dominic
"Vampire: The Masquerade" developer: Nihilistic Software publisher Activision
artist:(if you know the artist, please let me know so I can credit him or her).
Other names:
Domi (original name), Vlad Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, Domhnall (Gaelic), Dominicus (Latin), Dominick (Old English), Dominik (Czech and Polish), Dominique (French), Domonkos (Hungarian)
Name origin:
DOMINIC: "Belongs to the lord." English name derived from Latin Dominicus. This is a name traditionally given to a child born on Sunday. His mother Lilith named him this as an insult.
DOMHNALL "World ruler." Gaelic name composed of the elements dubno "world" and val "rule."
Physical characteristics:
Tall, commanding presence, night-black hair, red eyes, and sharp white fangs, pale and radiant. Usually wears black suits, sometimes with a cape.
Abilities:
Dominic possesses the abilities of all vampires, only perfected with thousands of years of experience. This means he’s faster and stronger than humans, his senses are extremely acute as are his reflexes. He can fly, turn into a bat, wolf, rat and mist at the very least and has complete control of others through mesmerization, perfecting it at a lever beyond any other vampire.
Known History:
The vampire known as Domi seems to be as old as history itself. He has been behind all the terrible events of history and an advisor to various rulers through the ages. Throughout many cultures and eras there has been rumors of a powerful lord of the night who commands dark armies. His grim goal has always been to rule the world, turning a portion the population into food stock for those creatures he has deemed fit to survive. He has had many names, some lost through history.
Much of his personal history is shrouded in mystery. The vampire Annabelle has told me that she knows more and at the proper time she’ll reveal it to me. As the chronicler of her stories I’m extremely intrigued.
I have so many questions; if he’s so old, how come he hasn’t taken over yet? What is this Exodus War he was tied up in? How can he be the famous Romanian ruler Vlad the Impaler if we know Vlad wasn’t as old as Domi is supposed to be? What is his relationship with the Falabranwyn because every time he shows up, they do as well. Why does he have so many wives and who are the Three Queens? Who are the Seven Tyrant Lords? Why did he speak of future events as if he knew them?
I suspect we’ll find out together as Annabelle’s story continues.

Night Children: Dark Threats
Chapter Four: 1899
How To Catch An Invisible Man
The new-fallen snow glittered under the bright moon like the unseen stars above. The Foresight Coven House had a large front yard, showcasing the snow’s white beauty
The white blanket seemed magical. It almost felt to Annabelle like the snow wasn’t normal.
She ignored the silly thought and relaxed on the porch swing. A new book rested on her lap while Charlottesnuggled under her arm.
“Next year I’ll finally turn nine.” The child vampire said with glee. “I’ve been eight for a hundred years and I can’t wait to be older.” She tried to make her voice deeper when she said ‘older’ but failed. Ann suppressed a smile.
Memories flooded Annabelle’s head. She remembered the night she woke after living a hundred years as an eleven-year-old. Her body hurt and she had to relearn some abilities, but it was glorious to finally age. Sure, others would still treat her as a child, but she was slowly catching up.
As long as Annabelle could remember, people were amazed at how mature she behaved. Working with her father in his bookbinding business at a young age helped her mature a little faster.
People assumed she was ignorant, so she simply worked around that obstacle. Now, after two hundred years of people looking down on her, she couldn’t imagine anything else. It simply meant more opportunities to prove them wrong.
She watched Charlotte beam with enough excitement to light the world. This little one will have the same life as Annabelle, resetting expectations with everyone she meets.
Charlotte continued, “Selina said she’ll start letting me help with their pranks but Samuel said I’ll still be too young.”
Her soft voice began to whine, “I don’t want to wait another hundred years Annabelle. Can’t you tell them I’m old enough?”
“I’m sorry but the last thing I want is another vampire prankster sneaking around.”
Charlotte’s pale face scrunched up into a frown. Her cherub cheeks dropped a little, her tiny mouth curled up and her big eyes pooled like a forlorn puppy. With her blonde hair in ringlets framing her angelic face, Charlotteresembled a sad porcelain doll. “Aw but I’d be good. I promise not to nail your coffin shut like they did to Roland.”
Annabelle couldn’t stop a laugh from escaping. “That was pretty funny. Listen, I’ll consider it, all right?”
The child’s eyes lit up like the moon. “Hurray! I can’t wait to tell the others.” She flew out of Ann’s arms and five feet into the air. A light giggle escaped her lips as she sped through the front door, almost clipping Roland’s ear.
“Hey! Why’s she in such a hurry?” He crossed to the wooden banister and leaned back against it.
“She wants to start pranking once she Advances.”
He rolled his eyes. “Oh no. Not another one. The twins have been tricking me for two hundred years. I can’t take another one of them.”
She laughed. “The big bad vampire pirate is afraid of a couple of children?”
“Evil children. Last week they filled my cape with molasses. Molasses, Annabelle!” ------

Special Repost: Who's Who in the Annabelle Universe? Roland Foresight
ROLAND FORESIGHT
artist: Adam Diller
Other names:
Night Child, annoying brother, Bloody-Buccaneer
Name Origin: Old German name meaning "renowned land."
Physical characteristics:
Straight red hair. Red eyes. Small white fangs. Wears a variety of clothing but likes to wear combinations of red and black.
Age Chart:
He was turned at age 13. Every hundred years he ages one year. He actually experiences his years longer than normal humans. Vampire children remain that age emotionally and mentally, perhaps for self preservation so they do not go insane living as an adult trapped in a child body.
How he handles immortality remains to be seen.
Advancement Chart:
b. October 13th 1679 d. 1692
born a vampire 1692-
Age 13= 1692-1792
Age 14 = 1792-1892
Age 15 = 1892-1992
Age 16 = 1992-Present Day
No other ages available at the moment.
Abilities:
Roland tends to have dreams of the far future, although he isn't aware of this at the beginning of the series. When he learns of this talent remains to be seen. He has the standard vampire abilities. This means he’s faster and stronger than humans, his senses are extremely acute as are his reflexes. He can fly and turn into a bat. In later years He has shown the ability to transform into a wolf, rat and mist but how he learned these things has yet to be told. He can control humans through mesmerization and communicate with lesser beasts.
He became an expert sword fighter thanks to his years as a Bloody Buccaneer.
Known History:
In 1692 Roland Foresight moved with his family to the wilds of Massachusetts. The Vampire Lord Dominic Pratchet killed his parents and left him and his sister Annabelle for dead. Dominic's wife Eliza turned them into vampires, taught them the things they needed to know and became a surrogate mother to them.
As the centuries have passed, Roland became a hero to many, constantly fighting Dominic's forces as a member of the Order of Righteous Vampires. He prefers to drink the blood of animals instead of humans. Roland is possessed with an overwhelming desire to finish Dominic off once and for all.
He's rebellious, acts before thinking, hot-headed and gets overly excited about new things without thinking about the consequences. He isn't afraid of much in life and is filled with a wanderlust for adventure and travel.
He learned to sword fight when he became a Bloody Buccaneer. Those years were both some of the best and worst of his life. Two men have filled him with a passion for revenge; the vampire hunter Hawke and Dominic, the monster lord who killed his parents. He has also had a few loves in his long life.
Any more information would be spoilers at this time.

Great Ideas for promoting a Book from Rachelle Gardner
Author Rachelle Gardner posted an interesting article on her blog about building an author platform vs. promoting you book. You can find it here.
It's a short article and sometimes in this busy world that's a good thing, but it gives great ideas on how to promote your book. I want to share this and also have it here so I can return to it when Book Two and other things are ready to publish.
Now here's an unrelated pic...

CBarton! Congratulations! And a big THANK YOU to everyone who followed ands commented!
Tonight right after midnight the next hop begins. I'm taking part in the 3rd Annual Lucky Leprechaun Giveaway Hop! The official post will be at 12:01 and unless you're a night owl or bat like Annabelle and Roland, you'll probably catch it tomorrow morning.
I'll be giving away another copy of Dark Threats so if you missed your chance to get it, here's another opportunity. Just like the one CBarton won, this will be a new paperback, straight off the presses.
I have added a few things to the paperback version and the proof copy will be arriving shortly. Once I review it, I'll give it the thumbs up and order a whole bunch. I'm also adding some extra things to Dark Birth as well.
Added to both books will be...
A new chapter list for Threats
A blurb on Birth (in Threats) and a blurb on Threats (in Birth).
Updated author picture and bio
A list of where to find both books
An altered scene (Birth only)
Keep in mind, these small changes are in the paperback copies for now, but later this month the eBook versions will get those changes, too, plus more stuff!
Bite of Story Thursday
I'm currently working on a short story called Night Children: Dark Loss. It's far from ready for even a sneek peek, so instead I thought I'd share a bit from Book Two in the Dark Beginings Saga. As always, this is from the rough draft so it does not reflect the final product. Enjoy!

Night Children: Dark Changes
Chapter Five, A Peace Forever Shattered
Eliza saw it first. The out of place shape caused her to stop her bat form short. Lying in the middle of the main road, where anyone could stumble across it, was the body of a dead man.
“Who’s that?” She asked.
“I don’t... wait. He looks familiar.” Annabelle glided down to the ground. Eliza followed. They were in their human shapes when Eliza knelt down to examine the cadaver.
It was a young man in his early twenties. His skin pale as a sheet, two small holes scared his neck. “It’s Jonathan Jorgan.” Annabelle said. “He’s one of Henry’s friends. His grandfather settled the town.”
The sound of many horses thundered through her ears. Fear caused Annabelle’s legs to freeze in place. Several angry men arrived in wagons and on horseback. Henry Dunston, enraged like never before, leaped out of the first wagon and ran to his friend. The men yelled and jeered as they surrounded the vampires.
Annabelle grabbed Eliza’s arm for safety. She was scared out of her wits. She chanced a look towards the forest behind the men. Annabelle could not believe the hate and fear in their eyes.
“Henry? Why are you--”
He cut her off. “They did this!” Henry jumped to his feet and pointed at Annabelle and Eliza. Spit flew from his red face as he shouted, “That’s Eliza Pratchet. She’s a vampire.”
The men gasped. Every nerve in Annabelle’s body demanded escape, but the shock of Henry’s betrayal rooted her to the spot.
Eliza’s strong look spoke volumes. She wanted Annabelle to flee to safety. Annabelle returned her look and squeezed her hand. She’d never leave her adoptive mother.
Henry continued, “Remember those Foresight children that were killed by wolves years ago? She turned them into vampires. That’s one of them.” Angry shouts echoed through the night, running a shiver up Annabelle’s spine. “She killed my brother Thomas and tricked me into keeping quiet.” He pointed at Annabelle.
“No, Servo killed Tom. I saved him by turning...” It was the worse thing she could say. The ever growing crowd jeered her. “Henry, please. You promised.”
“You tricked me. You corrupted Thomas.” Henry turned back towards the angry mob. “She spent her first night as a vampire planning ways to change by brother and sister. They snuck into our room and put a spell on Polly and Thomas.”
“That’s a lie.” Annabelle shouted it out as tears clouded her vision.
“She mesmerized my brother, made him want to be... that.” He gestured at them like they were diseased creatures. “I don’t know how Polly and I escaped her notice, but she killed him.”
Furious jeers erupted from the crowd. Eliza pulled at Annabelle’s arm but she held her ground. There must be some way to convince them he was wrong. She had to know why Henry was doing this.
“Now he’s a monster, just like them.”
“It’s not true,” she blinked away the tears. “Tom wanted to be like us.”
“She admits it,” Henry roared and the mob shouted. The deafening sound hurt her ears. “Now look what they have done.”
“No, we didn’t do this. We don’t know who--”
“Don’t listen to her lies. Now they’ve killed Johnny. This has to stop,” Henry roared from the top of his lungs as he grabbed tightly to her left arm. “Get them. Don’t let them escape.”
By this time, the crowd had filled the street. They moved as one, crushing into Eliza and Annabelle. They pulled at the girls’ hair, bruised their bodies, kicked and hit them.
Savage pain raked her body from all sides at once. Instinctively, she scratched and hit back and some men fell to the ground. Others screamed as her sharp nails dug into their flesh. It barely made a difference because more attackers replaced the fallen.

The Importance Of Keywords For MetaData And The Discoverability Of Your Book by Joanna Penn
Here's a great article on using keywords to get your book noticed. It's from Joanna Penn over at the Creative Penn.
I've applied this to Night Children : Dark Birth and hope to do it with Dark Threats as well.
More on this as things develop.
