\"ledeadandkicking\"<\/a>How long have you been a vampire?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, well, that is a rather personal question. Much like asking a lady her age, it\u2019s just not done.\u00a0 Let us say that I have seen my fair share of time come and go.<\/p>\n

Do you drink blood or are you a psychic vampire?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A psychic vampire? Is that what you are calling it?\u00a0 No, I am merely a Vlad, a vampire of middling power.\u00a0 I require blood to maintain my life essence.\u00a0 The ability to survive on life essence, or the aura of a living being, is only found in the most powerful of the vampiro<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Do you enjoy being a vampire?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you had asked me that question a few months ago, I would have given you a much different answer.\u00a0 Now however, I believe that the answer is yes. \u00a0I have found new purpose in my, shall we call it, life.<\/p>\n

How do you feel about humans?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I quite like them.\u00a0 They are very tasty (he smiles)\u2026.just joking.\u00a0 Harry will like that one.\u00a0 But in all seriousness, I envy humans.\u00a0 Your lives may be so fleeting but you live with such a sense of purpose.<\/p>\n

Where are you from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was born in France but I spent a good portion of my years in Spain and England before coming to the New World.<\/p>\n

What makes you happy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Food.\u00a0 Specifically preparing a gourmet meal to be enjoyed by those I care about.\u00a0 Tess says that I\u2019m a \u2018foodie\u2019 (he shrugs).\u00a0 Perhaps I am, if having a keen interest in expanding my palate and seeking new gastronomical experiences makes me one, so be it.<\/p>\n

Name one person you trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Angharad Grainne Russo.\u00a0 I trust Harry implicitly.\u00a0 I have never met anyone, especially one so young, with such a strong sense of right and wrong, who holds to their personal moral code with such conviction.<\/p>\n

Dead and Kicking \u2013 The Harry Russo Diaries, volume 1<\/em>
\n<\/strong>By Lisa Emme<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a girl to do when her date is D.O.A?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Angharad \u2018Harry\u2019 Russo is just your ordinary twenty-something, with one exception – she\u2019s a witch with an out of the ordinary gift.\u00a0 When her blind date goes sideways and she ends up face to face with a dead body, her life starts to go sideways too.<\/p>\n

Harry soon finds herself right in the middle of the mayhem, dealing with Cian Nash, a homicide detective that is as aggravating as he is sexy; the biggest, baddest vampire in town; and a parcel of pesky zombies that keep popping up everywhere.\u00a0 It\u2019s all connected to her date\u2019s unfortunate demise, or is there more to it than meets the eye?<\/p>\n

Excerpt From Dead and Kicking<\/em><\/strong> by Lisa Emme<\/p>\n

Isaac turned to me, a look of regret on his face.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m very sorry, my dear,\u201d he said and then started towards me, his fangs bared.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d\u00a0 I looked at Salvador.\u00a0 \u201cWe had a deal!\u201d<\/p>\n

Salvador made a clicking sound with his tongue, shaking his head.\u00a0 \u201cAlways so suspicious, Miss Russo.\u00a0 Our deal is still in play.\u00a0 I said you would go home and you shall, whether it is as you are now, or as a vampire, is up to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
