Good asked Lucienne Diver:

Hi Lucienne, Just wondering what it was that got you interested/writing about vampires. Do your remember a specific movie or book?

Lucienne Diver Gah, Goodreads never sent me my questions, and I'm only just seeing this! You may not even be interested in the answer any longer, but just in case... I've been interested in vampires for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was severely asthmatic. The way they treated it back then, it was all stimulants and steroids in pill form, so they affected your whole body. They didn't go straight to the lungs. As a result, I didn't sleep much. Not more than 2 to 4 hours a night. My parents, however, went to bed early, which left me up watching any program I wanted without supervision. Well, when I was a kid largely what was on in the middle of the night were horror films. I pretty much scared myself to death as a kid on the old Christopher Lee vampire movies. I think that's where I got my start. (Even though my vampires are a lot more flippant and less terrifying.)
