Not a reference to Justin Stomper's excellent vampirate books (although I am reading the third one to my son!)
Vampires first - I've just interviewed author Jane Bled for one of my other blogs - she writes vampires, and the back story to that is well worth a read, as is her novel 'Master - Crimson'.
www.myspace.com/brynneth_n_colvin for the interview,
www.loveyoudivine.com for the book.
Pirates... the first instalment of the Cutlass series is out at
www.loveyoudivine.com introducing Stefan and Charlotte Archer. He's crazy, charming, and very sexy. She's smarter, with a sharp tongue, but just as pretty! They don't set out to be pirates, but having been kidnapped, its that or a very long swim! It's erotic, action, adventure comedy stuff - you can see the influence of my early exposure to swashbuckling films and tales.
I'm currently working on the second installment, 'The Conquest'which includes gender confusion, drunkenness, and bondage!
