Meet The Vampire Family Sequel!
Afternoon Greetings to the folks dreading the bright and sunshiny January days!
It's been quiet here at the Vampfam blogger for one important reason: I've been wrapping up edits on the next merry-go-round in The Vampire Family world. What do you think of Tales from The Vampire Family? I suck at titles!
The Vampire Family has a long and torrid past, present, and future. In this series of vampire vignettes, the family's Occult scholar Professor A. James shares Ann's earliest vampire loves, Elizabeth's colonial travels, Victoria's errors in judgment, and even a good does of punishment for Lilith. Revel in the lust, torment, and resurrection with Tales from The Vampire Family!
Ready for more details? Perhaps a sample story or two? Join me Tomorrow Thursday January 14 for a Q&A Day at The Kristin Battestella Yahoo Group.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kristin...
Updates will also happen at our Vampire Family Facebook Page. We're in this instantaneous social trend, but I like the Yahoo Group as a static list and calendar store. Like Leigh Wood's regularly scheduled visits on our loop, I'd like to have this regular Q&A should anyone wish to de-lurk. Don't forget you can also follow or RSS The Vampfam blogger or the Scares and Spices livejournal to stay up to date. I'm also updated my author website, so it might look messy before it looks vampire swank!

After Leigh Wood's Guest Day Tuesday, January 19, things will be a little quiet again for me until our next live chat with Eternal Press. Join us 8 p.m. Monday February 1 at Night Owl Romance. By then I should have Tales from The Vampire Family submitted to the publisher. I'm just being too picky with my manuscript. I can't help it!
Maybe I'll take a break from it and crack open the Dark Shadows DVDS I got for Christmas! We can always talk about that over the Q&A! Until then, you might want to catch up on The Vampire Family proper. You can pick up our ebook for your favorite reader or hold our sweet paperback in your cold hands via Amazon!

FATE and FANGS-The Vampire Family SEQUEL!
Special Greetings to our friends clinging to the chill and darkness of winter days! The surprising sunshine we've had here has passed on in favor of a dark and brooding weekend rainstorm! What better time to stay in and spend the night with The Vampire Family!
Now, I know what you're thinking: Kristin, we've done read The Vampire Family already! Yes, we've been available in ebook and paperback with Eternal Press for over a year-a long time in this instant day and age! Also, I have to say it's been a losing battle with illegal infringements and ebook pirating as well. If you haven't read The Vampire Family, do buy from our authorized sellers, not in some nefarious bulk or package download.
Now then, let's turn to happy thoughts, thoughts that deal with fate or fangs. I've gotten a little more catchy with my titles. How do you like FATE and FANGS: A Collection of Tales from the Vampire Family Edited by Professor A. James? Long winded perhaps, but worth it.
I mentioned this first sequel collection previously, and now it's only fair to share a little bit more. Join the Welshires and their resident occult expert Professor James as he hosts this special series of vampire tales from early medieval viking vampires to contemporary debauchery and vampirism......
FATE and FANGS
A Collection of Tales from the Vampire Family
Edited By Professor A. James
By
Kristin Battestella

Lore:
Forward by Professor A. James
In 1975 I acquired a collection of antique, but damaged manuscripts after a mysterious fire beguiled the dim British authorities for four years. Somewhere along the frontier between England and Wales, in a crumbled vault beneath a burned mansion; dozens of leather bound journals, diaries, and books were rescued. Their contents were fantastical: histories, ages of vampiric accounts, coven wars, and abstract chronicles. The police, of course, uneducated in such matters of the occult or the unexplained, found the material rubbish against their modern case in need of evidence and forensics.
Fortunately, in my subsequent studies and adventures, I have found that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. You must forgive me the cliché, but my analysis and preservation of these personal antiquities has brought me to new heights of bizarrity, both on the page and in the flesh. I thought I was a wise, aware professor knowing beyond the day-to-day world before I came to read of this twisted Vampire Family. My pride was in err.
After several lengthy years of study and a very slow restoration process on the oldest documents, I succumbed to an offer of assistance from a student named Theodore Plunkett. A scholar of ancient languages, Theodore’s detailed list of degrees and credentials were too numerous for his youthful appearance. His intelligence was vast; yet he was a personal master at comprehending and restoring the fantastic tales of Antonio Welshire and his mad family’s descent into the dark world of vampirism. From patriarch Antonio’s brutal human days to the coven’s near destruction by the rival Lilithan vampires and the ambiguous Mestiphles’ meddling appearances and disappearances; this Vampire Family’s history is very well documented through some centuries and bare and bleak in others. Some journals are utterly disturbing in their tales of blood and mayhem while other diaries are strangely heartfelt, bittersweet, and uncomfortably endearing.
The fire that brought these texts into my possession was education blessing enough-the lifetime epitome of Tut and Troy to most scholars. Some library men would be content to sit behind their musky parchments and read the decades away. I, however, have had the unique privilege of authenticating these documents as truth. Of course, that wasn’t until many years later; when Theodore arrived at my office door looking as young as the day we first met. On the plane to Philadelphia, I never suspected I would arrive at the doorstep of sisters Samantha and Victoria Welshire. I had read over five hundred years of their tall tales; yet here the startling beauties were, living and breathing before me fangs and all. Only then did I begin to realize the full extent of this familial coven.
The academic community may disagree with my claims; but this dark, sensational and unbelievable underground lifestyle has afforded me considerable gains. Today I live a quiet life among the Welshires, and their vast knowledge of history and the world has blessed me intellectually as well as financially. In this simple, ignorant time obsessed with youthfulness and beauty, I’ve seen immortal creatures age, know love, feel pain-even die and regain their humanity. I myself have been able to change; embracing surgeries and procedures I would not have considered before coming to know the Welshires. With no evil or nefarious means, this vampire knowledge and power has made me a new man inside out. It’s something I could never have fathomed before these burned books first came my way.
Through the course of this manuscript, you will find my notes introducing the strange tales included in this volume. There are several more stories left to be discovered; however, those are largely damaged chronicles, with significant portions unaccounted for or degraded beyond interpretation. Those presented here are in the best condition possible and have been least corrupted through time and calamity.
You should be familiar with most of the players, as the Welshire coven’s deeds have been thoroughly documented elsewhere. These accounts from Ann, Victoria, and Stephanie, among others, are much more personal, individual, and largely first person accounts. Some are sad, a few are very enchanting and lovely, and there are some that I personally find repulsive and frightening. Living with and documenting the Vampire Family has not blinded me from their awesome powers and need for the very fringes of human society. Read of the Vampire Family, delight in their written escapades even, but nevertheless learn from the error of their ways. Not all of them are so charming and accepting of the human condition. Remember what you’ve read and will read: most of them will do anything to protect their nocturnal inclinations.
From the past to the present, from near to far and wide, you may think these tales are all fiction, born of the imagination. Unfortunately, they are indeed truth and based in a frightening reality as firm as you or I.

Kristin now on staff at the Blood Theatre!
Hello my Vampy F(r)iends!
I know I've been quiet recently in my little virtual worlds, but that's because I've been spending my time growing paler by staying indoors and writing, writing, writing! In addition to editing FATE and FANGS- the first sequel to The Vampire Family, I'm working on the second sequel Requiem. Now then, let's throw some more non fiction haunts into the mix with my new staff position at Blood Theatre!
My debut article at the back from the dead BT is my recent review of the 1932 classic Freaks. Look for more creepy criticism to come, and spread the word by joining us on Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blood-T...
Remember you can also find my analysis of film, television, music, and books both spooky and non at my review archive, I Think, Therefore I Review. If these decrepit shorts aren't enough to quench your thirst, you can always revisit The Vampire Family in ebook or paperback. If its sexy spice in space you're looking for, remember to try pal Leigh Wood's saucy and steamy On the Way To New Isosceles on kindle!

In this haunting and deadly world, two things will always bind a vampire:
FATE and FANGS!
Canadian epublisher Muse it Up Publishing will offer FATE and FANGS, Tales from the Vampire Family as told by Professor A. James beginning in August 2011. The 7 book series is projected to run through February 2012, and there's plenty to sink your teeth into!
1. Love: Ann and the Viking - In this medieval tale, scorned vampire mistress Ann leaves vampire family patriarch Antonio behind, travels across Britain, and encounters a wayward Viking named Eric. Will Ann accept her true vampiric nature and turn her Nordic lover into a vampire?
2. Punishment: Lilith's Trials - In this bizarre and seemingly anonymous tale, beautiful vampire nemesis Lilith suffers plenty at the delight of her mysterious and demonic tormentor.
3. Struggle: Elizabeth in America - Seeking solace and solitude from her unhappy home life as the unloved wife of Antonio, Elizabeth travels to colonial America. On the outskirts of civilization, she meets Rain, a young Kiowa warrior on a vision quest. Will his lack of fear and gripping hothouse experience help Elizabeth’s face the vampire truths she sought to escape?
4. Debauchery: Victoria's Burning - Victoria uses the fallout from the American Civil War to her advantage-or so the beautiful but deadly blockade-runner hopes. After all her using, abusing, and feedings, Victoria’s slaves finally take matters into their own hands, forcing Antonio’s daughter to face her own mortality.
5. Lust: James at the Sundowner - The Sundowner offers steamy Welshire vampires Jessica, Pamela, and Slava for underground vampire sex and biting fetishes, but Victoria’s twin brother James is content with his gig as piano player at the club owned by their brother Stephen. James’ own love Catrina is the alluring singer at there, but can he keep his longtime vampire companion away from the tempting, exciting young clientele?
6. Humanity: A Letter from Gaston - Gaston is trying to move on with his life now that the Vampire Family has been is human again. Unfortunately, his sister Victoria cannot cope with the change and succumbs to drugs, depression, and sex binges with her former fledgling Caine. When Gaston looses his job over Victoria’s suicide attempt, their pregnant sister Samantha comes to London to help-making a journey that could be disastrous to her unborn children.
7. Resurrection: Stephanie after the Lilithan - Former Lilithan vampire and newly divorced scientist Stephanie can’t get over how much she misses being a vampire. After a harrowing car accident, she meets Mestiphles, the giver and taker of vampire power on both sides of the coven wars. His charm and seductive powers sweeten the demonic offer he extends, but will Stephanie accept?

Excerpt:
This man was handsome. He was worn in the face from battle, yes, but fair, with no blood upon his cropped beard. Ruthless and careful in his skill he was, surely, but nonetheless sexual and charming. Why had he killed his own warrior? This was no small question, but it was somehow trivial to me. For the first time in a great while, I was thinking as a woman, not a vampire, and I wanted this strong man to know me as such. As my blood desires faded, I felt my eyes calm and my fangs dull. The warrior noticed these changes with a smile, for he was no more afraid of me than I was of him.
“You are not like the women of this realm, are you?” His speech was softer than his brutish companion, more distinct and learned, but firm.
“No.” I held my tone in his air. Antonio had no room for me. I was not his wife. This strange man, however, in his foreign armor from his embellished ship—I knew he was my equal.
“Are you of the old ways? A witch as some say inhabits this land?” His eyes were upon me, as if he knew the answers to what he asked.
“Not truly.”
