May You Find Hope...

What does hope really mean to you?  We all hope for more, for greater, and for those sometimes unattainable dreams like marrying Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, or for my male readers, Megan Fox.  Yes, we dream.  We hope. 

Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo!

When I began writing The Vampire’s Hope I finished the novella in one week.  The concept of hope (and Vampires) kept me writing.  How?  Before I began, as I was doing my normal research, I found that the ancient Greeks believed that the last evil to escape Pandora’s Jar (not a box as commonly assumed) was Elpis, or the spirit of hope. This spirit of hope was seen as only an extension to suffering. 

What a fascinating concept.  As I mulled over the Greek’s philosophy, I realized what a great story this idea could make, and The Vampire’s Hope was truly born. 

I have put many hours into this novella and finding my own center on the idea of hope.  Yes, hope is a beautiful and wonderful thing.  It keeps us thinking about those things that we desire, the soul mate we dream about, or the outcomes we desperately need.  Delving deeper however, I find moments when hope drives complacency, and lulls people into a false sense of security in the life they have created.  We hope for things that may someday fall into our laps…we blindly hope and we fail to act in ways to achieve our dreams. 

It may come as a surprise to most who have read my dark romances, but I’m a passionate optimist.  I always see the glass as half full, I always hope, and I refuse to give up my dreams.  This book has helped to remind me that I should hope, that I should have a goal, but I must be determined and driven to action.  May you also find hope in this dark, insightful, and fascinating novella, The Vampire’s Hope.

Happy Reading—
