Welcome to my crazy world…

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic day! Today, I am going to give you a little insight into my crazy world of writing, my home, and my family.

First of all…my family.

Let me tell you, this is one heck of a family. My husband and I have been married for about 12 years and we have five rambunctious kids. The oldest is 16 and homeschooled. The middle two are 7 and 9 (almost 8 and 10) and then the two younger ones are 2 and 4.

I know what you’re thinking! How do you get any writing done with all those kids?

Well, it’s called time management…plus lots of long nights awake while everyone else is sleeping. Lol. Just recently I have (finally) been able to afford to put my two smallest ones in pre-school three days a week so I can work. But let me tell you, I am soooo ready for school to start! These kids are truly a handful.

Being a mom is my main job, it comes before anything else. Writing, being an author…is my other job and it takes A LOT of time. But, somehow, I am managing to juggle it all. I have, lately had to scale down a lot of my obligations and do some prioritizing of the things I do. Oh, and to clarify, for my husband…being a wife is part of the being a mom job description for me. Lol I love being a wife too!

Anyhow, there is a lot to my life, I couldn’t possibly tell you in one sitting, but I will tell you it includes coffee…lots. of. coffee! I do like to get outside and do stuff too. We live in the mountains and are surrounded by beautiful lakes and rivers, treed landscapes and pure beauty. Summer is the best time to get out and do stuff here. Winter is ok too, but I just don’t really like the cold.

My husband has been in the military since we got married. So, I spend a lot of time with him gone. He has been overseas three times now…a year each time. I am a huge supporter of our military service members!

I just wanted to give you a little peek into who I am for this guest blog. I hope that you will drop by my website or facebook page and say hello…don’t be afraid, I don’t bite, only my characters do that!

ENJOY A SHORT EXCERPT I took the first book off the stack and examined the cover. It was titled Vampires throughout History. The cover was leather and so old it was stiff and cracked in spots. The pages showed signs of age too, yellowing and stiff to the touch. There was no table of contents, so it looked like I was going to have to scan the entire book for what I was wanting. I flipped the pages carefully, so as not to tear any of them.  After an hour of scanning and about half way through the book, I found something referring to vampire children.  ~~~  Although extremely rare, the natural-born offspring of vampires exist throughout the world. These rare beings are called the dhampir. Dhampir are usually the product of a vampire and mortal. The most common of these unions is a male vampire impregnating a mortal woman. Vampires, both male and female, are seductive in nature and some mortals came willingly to these unions. However, the majority of dhampir born were produced through an act of rape.  Solitary by nature, it is uncommon for a vampire to settle with any one mate for long. The children of vampires, the dhampir, more often than not exhibit all the characteristics of their vampire parent. The strength, speed and agility are the usual hereditary traits that the children develop. They are not always born with these traits but develop them as they grow into adulthood.  The dhampir are day walkers. Some of these children are sensitive to the sunlight but will not perish in the direct rays. Most have no sensitivity at all. Drinking the fresh blood of mortals is also not usually required of the dhampir; however, some have a liking for it. Very few actually need it to survive.  Most dhampir are rejected by the vampire species because of their mortality and weaknesses. Mortals often reject the dhampir, as well, due to their vampirism, so they frequently remain outcast.  Dhampir are known for becoming vampire killers. Their closeness to the vampires and their vampire characteristics make them powerful vampire hunters. The unique ability to track and kill vampires is specific to only the dhampir and the mythological race of vampire hunters.  Historically, dhampir became vampire hunters as a trade. Towns and villages became plagued by vampires who were terrorizing their homes and killing their people. The dhampir accepted contracts in exchange for monetary payment and used their likeness to their vampire counterparts to exterminate the vampires.  ~~~  Holy crap, that was a lot to process. The more I read the passages, the more I understood that my being a hunter was more than my heritage; it was my history and my future. Everything about my bloodlines had hunters involved.
