Lesbian
vampires have been around for a while. They appear in various films and more
recently Pam (Eric Northman's protégé) in Charlaine Harris' The Southern Vampire Mysteries is a
lesbian and even to this day, books and movies are being released about them.
They're not new or revolutionary, and their appearance in books and movies
nowadays is unlikely to shock anyone. So why am I writing about them?
The
truth is: they didn't give me much choice. When I first started plotting my
story, Bite with Height, all I had in
mind was a location and that I wanted to do something about vampires. It wasn't
until I started thinking more about it and eventually putting pen to paper that
I decided my main two characters were both going to be female. And, in actual
fact, only one of them is a vampire.
Meg
and Grace basically wrote their own story. They dictated from inside my head
and told me what should happen, where and why. And my erotic romance set in
Paris is the result. Readers so far have made the most wonderful comments,
including ones saying that the story feels fresh and new. So, despite my
original worries, it seems my efforts to add a twist to a genre that has been
mocked in the past has paid off.
Bite with Height blurb:
When
Meg spots a young woman alone in the Pigalle district of Paris at night, she’s
intrigued. She has to know her story and find out why she looks so sad and
alone. After introducing herself, Meg realizes that she and Grace have a lot in
common. But when they decide to go and grab a drink together, they discover a
mutual love that could bond them forever.
