Vampires: My guilty pleasure

“You are a vampire who never knew what life was until it ran out in a big gush over your lips.”

~Lestat
Interview with a Vampire




Vampires, the blood sucking creatures of the night. The damned creatures that stalk the darkness to claim the very essence of your soul.

It was inevitable that I would begin to write stories about vampires. 

I have always loved a good vampire story.  I have been reading them for years.  My favorite vampire book (and movie) of all times is Interview with a Vampire. My second favorite would have to be Bram Stokers Dracula


My husband jokes when the topic comes up and I am running my mouth about the best vampire movies and books.  He calls me the preternatural expert in our house.

There was just something about those books that drew me in and I was unable to pull myself out again.  These characters and beings have been around for a long time and I am an avid fan.

Vampires are great for erotica.  There is something innately sexy about them.

My favorite books are the books in the Anita Blake series by Laurel K. Hamilton.  I also like the Underworld movies.  Yet, like I said my favorite is Interview with the vampire (it didn’t hurt that the main vampires were played by the sexiest men alive Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas.)

I have always wanted to write a book about the Preternatural and I finally sat down and wrote a few short stories. 

When I wrote Erotic Encounters: Tales of the Paranormal and Preternatural, I didn’t expect to publish it really. I was just writing for fun in-between novels. I posted many of the stories onto my blog and received some very good feedback about each story.  People read them and insisted that I write another one or write a second part to the finished story.

I realized that people loved to read my stories and so I collected them all. This is just a taste of what I can do with the supernatural.

One of my projects for next year is a preternatural novel based on vampires in Erotic Encounters: Tales of the Paranormal and Preternatural .  It will be fresh, exciting and new.  I have already begun to work on the characters and their backgrounds. It is crazy to finally get the time and support to let my imagination run wild. 

Seeing the great feedback that I have had about my short story anthology, I know that I can produce a great Vampire novel.

The Erotic Housewife Checks IN: The Depression of a Writer

“You cannot be a good writer of serious fiction if you are not depressed.” ~Kurt Vonnegut Jr We all know the old stereotypes of the tortured artist, the alcoholic writer. They play into the belief that artistic creative types seem to be more depressed or are more susceptible to mental illness than the average person. Those old stereotypes may not have been too far off from many famous authors, poets and painters. When you think of Hemingway, Poe, Keats, Proust and Van Gogh, you don’t always think of their genius. More often than not you also think about their lives and how each one obviously suffered from some mental illness or depression. it almost makes depression seem glamorous, yet it isn’t glamorous to the person that suffers from it. I know from experience. I am not ashamed say that on occasion I suffer from depression. Okay…more often than that. It is something that has plagued me for quite a long time. As long as I can remember, I never understood it. When I

I had written and scheduled a post for today for the Writers of Kern Blog challenge, but something happened this morning and I just had to write about it.   is for... Incomprehensible “You never know how quickly a life can be taken away until you see for your own eyes…” In 7 th grade I remember playing in the gym with my friends only to look over and see a 6 th grader sitting against a window alone. He looked really familiar and then it hit me. That 6 th grader looking so out of place was my uncle, Willie Cobb Jr. Born 4 days before me, he was the son of my Grandfather Willie Cobb Sr. (half black and Native American) and Dora Santana ( Mexican) I know it sounds strange but my mother’s youngest brother was my age. It was difficult growing up to see him as my uncle… but he was. I walked over to him and sat down. I ditched my friends because he was family and he was alone. He had just transferred to my school unbeknownst to me and I wan

is for... Completely Overwhelmed I am a machine. I wake up in the morning, I fix three separate lunches (two daughters and a husband), I make breakfast, get coffee ready for my husband and I, make sure my 13-year-old gets off to school and make sure my kindergartner is dressed, brushes her teeth and gets off to school.  I then come home and fix breakfast for the 2-year-old, get her washed and dressed.  Some days we go to the park or out to play with her friends.  Then I go grocery shopping, clean the house, feed the cat, make lunch for my two year old, do a couple loads of laundry (wash fold and put away) pick up the kindergartner from school, get her afternoon snack, prep for dinner, try writing in a blog post or two, write a short story, make dinner, clean up after dinner, talk with husband until he falls asleep about his day and mine. Fight with the kids to make them stay in bed and hopefully to sleep. Then I spend next 3 hours writing.  This a
