    Vamp Myth #4

    Vamps only attack girls

    [/stextbox]

    I know it might seem that way, but you’ve got to remember, there are chick Vamps, too. And Vamps, whether male or female, are stronger than humans, period. So, they’re going to take who they want, when they want.

    Unless I’m around!

    Another thing to remember: Depending on how hungry they are, they may **clears throat** play with their food a little. Never forget…These things are primal. Have basic needs….**shivers**

    Vamp Myth #3

    Vamps can be good if they really, really try

    [/stextbox]

    Yeah…not so much. Their souls are gone. No remorse. They need humans to feed on, plain and simple. If someone–or something–doesn’t stop them, they will drain you dry. Now, I’ve heard whisperings of older Vamps havingsome ability to control their actions, but it’s only as a part of a bigger–more morbid–objective.

    The only chance of reprieve you might have if you come upon a Vamp is that they’ve just eaten and are full. But if their eyes are flaring red…be afraid. That means they are HUNGRY.

    Vamp Myth #2

    A human bitten by a Vamp becomes a Vamp

    [/stextbox]

    Welcome to day two of Vamp Myths. This one is a common misconception. We see it in the movies all the time, but trust me, it’s not true. I’d know, I’ve been fighting these jerks for a long time now. I’ve been bitten more times than I can count, and I’m still me. You might be thinking, “Yeah, Emma, but you’re not human!”

    True.

    But remember, I’ve rescued TONS of people who’ve been bitten and they’ve not turned. And they were human. 🙂

    So how are Vamps created? That’s an interesting question. All I can say is…they’re chosen. You’ll have to check out more on that in the book, okay? But rest assured, if you manage to escape an encounter with a Vamp and were bitten, you won’t turn.

    But be sure to give me a shout because I’ll come kick its butt, okay?

  • Vamp Myth #1


    Hey, everyone. Emma Martin here. Lynn’s off recovering from a busy release week. I was pretty busy that week, too, only it was kicking some VAMP ASS! So, I missed a few of the release week festivities. BUT, I did make it to that Facebook Party. That was WICKED fun. Super fast paced…kind of like things in my world.

    Since Lynn’s off recovering…I’m taking over the blog this week. She’s actually working on her next release coming in January (TAINTED, Wasteland #3) and planning all kinds of wicked fun for THAT Release Party…so get ready!

    ~~~~~

    There are tons of vampire myths out there these days, and during the release party and interviews over release week, Lynn got asked a few questions about that. So, I figured I’d clear up a few myths about these blood-suckers!

    Vamp Myth #1

    Sunlight & wooden stakes kill Vamps

    [/stextbox]This actually would be great if it were true. Would make my life a lot easier. I could just keep making me some wooden stakes. Sadly, the only things that will kill a vamp are my crossbow and dagger. Since Gabriel and I sort of stumbled into the things we know–along with the weapons–this is what we’ve found out so far:

    The dagger and crossbows are made of a special–blessed–metal. Gabriel once read that there were some weapons forged from the fires of hell for Lucifer’s demons to use against heavenly beings. But the archangel, Michael, stepped in and blessed several of them to turn the tables. Those weapons are what kill evil creatures.

    The Mark of Power is etched on them. As you’ve read in my story, I woke up with this crazy tattoo on my wrist after the big crash that killed my folks. Gabriel researched it and found out it was called the Mark of Power. And since this symbol graced the handles of these two weapons, we figured they were for me to use against the Vamps.I’d tried stabbing a Vamp in the chest with a wooden stake. It might puncture through a layer or two of flesh and knock them down for a bit, but it doesn’t kill them. So when they turned to dust after using these weapons I’d found, I was more than relieved.
