Vampire ABCs ~ A is for Angsty Angel
As it’s October and one of my favorite holidays is coming up (plus my recent series is about vampires, LOL) I came up with an idea for the ABCs of vampiness
Today, I’d like to talk about A – Angel from Buffy the Vampire slayer.
Now, my first vampire love, I’ll admit, was Dracula from Bram Stoker’s story. But (and this may date me) I was a teenager when Buffy came out. I still remember falling in love with her, a kick-butt chick who fought the monsters of the world.
Then came Angel. Sexy. Dark. Mysterious. Tortured.
*drool*
I mean, he was the epitome of the perfect crush. The bad boy trying so hard to be good. The vampire with a soul, and now able to love. (of course, we know that didn’t turn out well, but still).
It was my first taste of a vampire being good. Of helping mortals fight against the dark. And did I mention he’s sexy?
Erm, where was I? Oh, yeah. So fast forward a bit, and the explosion of paranormal romance and urban fantasy. I still can’t get enough of these books. So, I figure it’s pretty natural I write them.
And if you like to read them (shameless plug) you can try Bloodstorm (Heart of a Vampire, Book 1) for Free! Yup. It’s currently free at all major e-tailers. Find your preferred format link here.
My Q4U: Who was your (fictional) childhood crush? Was he a bad boy, or good?
And as a thanks so much for having me over, I’d love to do a giveaway. I’ll choose one commenter to win a $5 Amazon gift card (international) so make sure you leave your contact info : ) Winner will be drawn next week.
When duty forces a shaman to stop a vampire from her revenge, love doesn’t just burn… it bites.
For two hundred years, Niki DeVeraux has been tracking the monster who murdered her family and made her a vampire. She finally catches up to him only to face more than she bargained for in a too-sexy sheriff who makes her remember she’s still a woman. With duties as Keeper of the peace and Sheriff, Shane Spencer must protect humanity and stop the friction between the local Arcaine races before it turns into an all out blood war.
When wolves start turning up dead, the tension between the races grows and suspicion falls on Niki. Shane knows she’s not to blame, and it has nothing to do with the primal urges she stirs within him. Working together, they must stop the hostilities from going over the edge. Trouble is, the desires raging between them might prove more dangerous than the surrounding threats.

Bio: One of those rare breeds, Amber Kallyn is an Arizona native who can trace her family’s history through six generations in the state. She lives with her husband, and their four very active children. Included in the menagerie are four cats (though there’s always room for more), one snake, and two dogs. We won’t count all the fish.
Amber loves the paranormal, from dragons to werewolves to vampires. She’s currently at work on her next book, probably running around the house acting out a fight scene with her collection of swords and daggers. Or maybe, wishing she had claws to practice the other fight scenes.
In case you missed it – this is Amber’s question again:
Who was your (fictional) childhood crush? Was he a bad boy, or good?
