My mother likes to boast that I was reading at the age of three. I'm not sure if that's strictly true but my childhood memories are mostly of being indoors with a book of some description. I distinctly remember having a Ladybird copy (English young children's books) of Dracula so I think my tastes were set quite early. Like a friend once said, while other young girls wanted to be ballerinas, I kind of always wanted to be a vampire.
I grew up in Belgium and went to a multi-national school before moving back to England to get my first degree. Microbiology and Virology... what was I thinking? Naturally I didn't do anything with it, in fact the thought of real life was off putting enough that I went and did another degree straight away. Medical herbalism this time, much better although it was in my final year of this degree that I rediscovered writing. Not sure why I ever stopped because once I started again it became a compulsion.
Once the second degree was finished I was stuck, I didn't want to practice herbalism, I wanted to write... only write. So I got a job in a health food shop and that was the first in a long line of short term jobs to pay the bills while I wrote. Some of them were brilliant though. I met some of my best friends ever when I was a barista in a coffee shop and I got many wonderful books and ideas when I worked in a sex shop... okay not technically a sex shop as we didn't sell porn but still an adult 'toy' shop. During this time I lived with my sister which was also brilliant but made me incredibly lazy. It took nearly five years before I actually wrote a full length, complete novel.
Moving to the other end of the country to live with one of my best friends, and I would go as far as to call her my muse, really kick started the novel writing and now I have several that are complete, although again it took me a while to actually start sending them out. I don't know if other writers feel the same but they're my babies and rejection is extremely painful.
Not as good as the first. There was issues for me in this story like the fact that one of them was a paramedic that supplied their blood so it wouldn't be conspicuous, yet I don't see how that was possible with the large quantities required to 'feed' everyone and then there was Frankie's schooling. He hardly even attended with the turn of events and quite a few absences. Some like these situations didn't pan out for me. Good story if more made sense.
Although I was happy to get an update on the characters I fell in love with in the 1st book, I was a little disappointed in this second installment. I can't believe I'm saying this because this is usually not a problem for me, but there was waaay too much sex in this book! To the point where it became tedious to read through.
