What happened to the vampires of our youth?

Remember when you used to go to a vampire movie when you were a kid?  The sinister male lead, draped in an ominous black cape and his victims were all buxom, sensual women dressed in negligees? If you were an adolescent guy, it was the closest thing to soft core porn. If you were a budding girl, it was the closest thing to soft core porn. Ah, the guilty pleasure of it all! Then we got older, more worldly and the vampires of our youth were tossed next to old baseball spikes and unused dolls.
  And my how the vampires have changed! They lost their street creds and now, depending on what you watch or read, look as if they just stepped out of LA FITNESS and dress like models from Vogue or GQ. Then there is the ever popular Goth look so popular in movies nowadays--lots of Spandex and black leather (not that I don't appreciate that look with buxom vampires). Story lines have changed as well--now it all seems so soap opera, doesn't it? She's a vampire and he's a werewolf--how can their union survive? She's a vampire and he's some hunky mortal--how can their union survive? The best: the vampire king is evil as hell but there is a newer, younger, more hip version trying to usurp the vampire throne...so damn sad!
That why I wrote ABIGAIL'S BLOOD PASSION, a vampire novel that doesn't insult an adult's intelligence or strain credulity. Of course there is a lot of sex (it IS a vampire novel, after all)! Along the way I've addressed the vampire legend in a different way, too. It ain't as easy to be a vampire these days but you'll have to read the book to find out. ABIGAIL'S BLOOD PASSION is in the final stages of publication should be available soon...read it!
