Fang-tastic Books: A Review of Real Men Have Fangs by Susan Blexrud#links#links
I just returned from my publisher's retreat in Nashville to find this lovely review in my inbox. Whoa, Nashville was a gas! My husband and I spent three hours at President Andrew Jackson's home, The Hermitage, plus we caught the Georgia O'Keefe exhibit at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. I also enjoyed seeing Vanderbilt University's urban campus. If you haven't been to Nashville, it's a trip I'd highly recommend (even if you don't like country music). I wasn't crazy about the Opry Mills Mall (too many people), but when you're a small town girl, crowds can be daunting. I also got some quality reading time on the 5-hour drive to and from Nashville. I'm just finishing Barbara Kingsolver's Pigs in Heaven, and I'm relishing the LAST installment of Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse series, Dead and Gone. I'll be counting the days until her final book comes out in May 2010.

Becoming a Vamp
As a vampire writer, I did a significant amount of research before deciding exactly how my vampires are made. The transformation process is very different in vampire lore, ranging from a quick nibble to a full drain. My vamps need three blood exchanges to become fully transformed, and since my stories center on male vampires turning females, the blood exchanges include sexual encounters (and hey, it's more fun that way). Basically, I took my cues from Bram Stoker. Also, I didn't want the transformation to be quick. My vampires don't take this process lightly, nor do the humans who are being transformed. It's a conscious decision in my vampire world.
The third novella in my fang series, Real Men Have Fangs, has a lengthy transformation scene between Luc and Meredith. Luc's an ancient vampire whose 600-year-old modus operandi has been to have sex with a woman one time ONLY, leaving her still human, but with a new brand of libido. In his long existence, he never turned anyone, but when he meets Meredith, he begins to consider having a lifemate and all the ramifications therein. His dilemma--after a life of one-night stands, can he be true to her for eternity?
What do you think about vampire transformation? Is it painful? Is there venom involved? If you were in love with a vampire, would you want to be turned?
I'm giving away copies of the first two novellas in my fang series, Love Fang and Fang Shui, to two people who post on my blog. So please, leave me a question or a comment (and your e-mail address for me to forward the .pdfs), and you could be a WINNER!
Thanks!
