I: The First Time

Life's chock full of first times. We remember them well, don't we? We remember our first cars, our first kisses, our first broken hearts, the first time we made love with someone, the birth of our first child, and the first death in the family.   
Sometimes our first times are wonderful, pleasant things that we cherish with fond memories and warm smiles. Sometimes they aren't so wonderful or so pleasant, and we are terrified and haunted by those bad memories until we die.   
Of all the first times I've ever experienced, the most unforgettable was the one that I never expected, never wanted, never asked for. It wasn't whate
DROP DEAD EYES

Chapter One of a novel in progress

No one had ever really believed the things that Katie Shannon saw through her gorgeous baby blues; least of all, Katie. But then Katie's ex-boyfriend is brutally murdered and comes looking for her to help solve the mystery of his death from beyond the grave. Her long-repressed abilities to see and speak with those who have passed from this life are finally revealed after years of denial.

Now, Katie must walk the razor's edge between the sunlit lands of the living and the shadowy highway of the dead in order to save the soul of the man she still loves. Katie will soon find with her first uncertain steps into another world that there are others with uncanny gifts of their own who seek to aid her... or hinder her. And she will be forced to come to terms with loss, betrayal and a cabal of evil reaching higher than she could have imagined in what will become a desperate bid to save her own soul.

AwakeningsMorning comes a storm;  To steal away my warmth  
And leave me waking cold  
And alone yet again,  
Wearing nothing but  
The blanket of my sins. Awakenings

IntroitYou make it so easy for us, you know.   
You romanticize us. You glamorize us.  You adulate us. You emulate us.  
 
And all your worship is so misplaced.   
The vast majority of us don't think of you as something beautiful, ephemeral, lasting even in your impermanence. We don't long for your warm caresses to fire our souls and rekindle our connections with our lost humanity. We don't think of you as bright sparks in an otherwise dark and endless night.   
Consider, instead, how you feel about a cow. They low and they bawl and they bellow and  shuffle mindlessly through their existenc Introit

UnsaidThere are things  
I have not spoken;  There are words   I have not said.   
For the longest time -  Intermittent,  
Hanging.   
Fear leaves them  Lying;  In the back of my mind,  On the tip of my tongue.   
Nascent, crawling;  My vocal cords freeze  
Upon their feathery touch.   
The damage that  Three simple words can do,  Laying open a wound  That has yet to form.   
Realization hits  As I am alone,  Thinking of you.   
Those silvery orbs  
Consume, subsume  A smile makes me weak,  You k Unsaid

TakenIf you’re reading this, then I want you to know that I know what you are. I can see beyond the mist you hide within. I can see your real face.  
 
It’s different, now, isn’t it? I’ll bet you can’t even remember what it looked like before. Life has changed your features, creating a roadmap of the strange, the horrifying and the surreal to overlay once-familiar terrain. Sure, when you look into the mirror, you’ll see what they see.   
But you know as well as I do that you just aren’t you anymore. Because you’ll see what I see, too.   
I know you’ve been where I& Taken

I was informed that I need to write some "vampire smut". God help me. I'm doing this because of the challenge that was issued more than anything else.

The thing is, it's hard for me to write a sympathetic vampire because I don't have any sympathy for them. I don't find them romantic or glamorous in the least bit, even though I can see the appeal that they have for so many of the women who read these books. And, I suppose, some of the men.

A vampire's one of the ultimate "bad boys", really.

The heroines of the stories always try to tame or settle the "bad boy" vampire, and bring him back in touch with his lost humanity. The fantasy of making the darkness turn to light. And they invariably succeed, and win a love that truly is everlasting.

I'll bite. Metaphorically speaking...
