I'm gonna lose these blues I've found, down in Lucky Town...

I'm interviewed at Patricia's Vampire Notes (and you can win an autographed book!)
It's one week from the release of my vampire novel Blood Groove, and today I'm interviewed at Patricia's Vampire Notes. You can also sign up for a chance to win a signed copy of Blood Groove. Be sure to stop by!
Alex, you mentioned your old-world vampire's arrogance was his greatest fault, but it only barely stops him from tripping up. That honestly reminds me of Doctor Who. This character is the smartest and most clever and unafraid, &c. &c., but sometimes it leads him into situations where normal people would be very stupid to descend. On the other hand, I would say the Doctor's weakness and most "human" feature is his loneliness. He constantly has to have a companion, a reflection for his own action and consciousness. I look forward to meeting your vampire and seeing his interaction with others.
I grew up in west Tennessee an hour north of Graceland (home of Elvis) and twenty minutes from Nutbush (birthplace of Tina Turner). I've been a reporter, editor, photographer and door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman. I now live in a Wisconsin town famous for trolls, write before six in the morning and try to teach my two sons to act like they've been to town before. I'm the author of the Eddie LaCrosse high fantasy/hardboiled mysteries (The Sword-Edged Blonde, Burn Me Deadly and the forthcoming Dark Jenny), two novels about vampires in 1975 Memphis (Blood Groove and The Girls with Games of Blood) and the first Tufa novel, The Hum and the Shiver, due in 2011.
