Lori Loves Werwolves
Okay, despite this admission, we are thrilled to introduce Lori Devoti, www.loridevoti.com Nocturne author extraordinaire. (Even if she does have bad taste in preternatural creatures--wink, wink.)
Lori Devoti grew up in southern Missouri and attended college at the University of Missouri-Columbia where she earned a Bachelor of Journalism. She, however, made it clear to anyone who asked, she was not a writer; she worked for the dark side—advertising. Now twenty years later, she's proud to decla...

Kay Stockham Picks Brad Pitt
Today we're talking to Superromance author, Kay Stockham, www.kaystockham.com, who doesn't write about vampires, but clearly should. Here's what Kay had to say...
If you could go on a date with a vampire, what would you do?
Get tips on staying young. ;)
Do you prefer long hair or short hair on your men (vampires, heroes, etc)?
Hmmm.. tough call. Medium length? Enough that if I ran my fingers through the length it would curl. *shiver*
What celebrity do you suspect is a vampire?
LOL Tom Cruise...

Interview with Lori Foster
The Impalers sat down with New York Times Bestselling author Lori Foster to get her thoughts on vampires, long hair, and the favorite character she's written. Hint: Look at the cover to the right. Thanks to Lori for answering all our random questions, and here's what she had to say...
If you could go on a date with a vampire, what would you do?
[Lori Foster:] I love movies, and it's dark in theaters, so I guess that'd work. But to keep from offending anyone, I'd make it an action flick and not a...

Solange Ayre, galaxy-hopping investigative journalist, a...
Solange Ayre, galaxy-hopping investigative journalist, also serves as a policy advisor to the United Conglomeration of Planetary Jurisdictions. She makes her home on Ayriana, her private island-republic in the West Caribbean region of Earth.
Her novella for Ellora's Cave, ONE THOUSAND BRIDES, details last year's shocking abduction of Earth women by aliens.
Would you like to stay up all night and sleep all day?
Darling, how else does one LIVE? All the fun happens at night. I haven't seen the sun in ten years!
How did you start writing?
I started writing when I realized that my career in intergalactic journalism gave me unique insights. For instance, when the Terilian aliens came to Earth last year and simultaneously kidnapped 1000 women, I was able to communicate with their ship and get the entire amazing story.
What's your favorite song?
"Because the Night" as sung by Patti Smith. Dear Bruce Springsteen wrote the song in a futile effort to woo me.
Which Impaler would you date?
Any of you, you're all adorable! However, my heart is still given to my dear deceased husband, St. Georges Ayre, who was mysteriously assassinated by ninjas.
Vampires or werewolves?
Vampires, OF COURSE! I dated a werewolf years ago. He wanted me to wear my furs and howl at the moon! Perhaps I would have been up for that (I was a bit wild in my younger days) but the steak tartare was simply too much for me.
If you weren't a writer, what would you be?
Perhaps something incredibly boring, such as an indexer of state statutes. Oh! The mind reels at the very thought!
What's the best part of being a writer?
The near-fanatical worship from my millions of fans.
Of all the characters you've created, who's your favorite?
Delos, the alien hero of ONE THOUSAND BRIDES. I love long-haired men with good physiques. And his cat ears really bring the Sexy.
Who was a better vampire? Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise?
Brad Pitt was more convincing. Since Tom really IS a vampire, he had to be careful not to give himself away. That had an unfortunate effect on his acting.
Thanks, Solange! The Impalers think being an indexer of state statues sounds sexy. ;-)
