A little bit about A Bloody Good Cruise, a fun-filled blend of the vampire
world and luxury cruises.
Romance writer Mona Rossi's book sales are slipping. She
needs new ideas and fast! Her vampire love, Fausto Silvius is a doctor aboard
the Romanza, a luxury cruise ship. Holding a "Motion on the Ocean"
writer's cruise sounds like a great idea. What better way to combine a career
boost with romance? But they soon discover hunters on board who give chase to
Fausto and his fellow vampires. While he longs to bring Mona into his world,
how can he convince her to join him with fringe lunatics on the hunt? In the
prime of her life she's not sticking her neck out for a shot at eternity.
1) My husband and I are hooked on cruising, and my very
first cruise was on the Eastern Mediterranean, beginning in Rome and ending in
Istanbul. The ports of call included Rhodes, Cyprus, Santorini, and Egypt.
Because I love Italy and cruising, I wanted to combine those passions with a
humorous story about vampires and how they face prejudice in the human world.
2) I met an Italian woman named Fausta in 1983 and always
loved that name--I always planned to use that name in one of my books someday.
I finally got the chance with the hero Fausto, close enough!
3) The actor I envision for the hero Fausto is Vincent
Irizarry, who played Dr. David Hayward on All My Children. He is every bit the
perfect vampire.
Excerpt:
Fausto took command of a standing mike. When she heard him
address the crowd with a simple Good evening, she stumbled back in shock,
almost landing ass first in the punchbowl.
It was Fausto, in the most stunning outfit hed ever worn. A
black velvet cape swirled like liquid onyx. A gold medallion rested on his
chest. His black hair was slicked back, revealing a widows peak. His look
bordered on sinister. His dark eyes penetrated the room with a devilish
twinkle. A smile revealed two gleaming white fangs. He projected a picture of
menacing confidence.
But to the crowd who saw a familiar figure they all feared,
he was simply Dracula. Its Dracula!
Purchase A Bloody Good Cruise
