My passion for vampires comes from a curiosity about what hides in the pit of
the night, when the world is asleep, and all falls silent.
I wish to be brave
enough to walk outside in the woods and look for myself and maybe see a being
that shouldn’t be, but instead, I reach out to all that is available to me and
research what is now often refers to as the paranormal.

Who Made Me
The first novel series I have ever read on my own was Goosebumps by R.L. Stine who with his captivating spooky words, got me hooked on what could be strange and dormant until we lay our head down to sleep.
Growing up in a small town, with woods far in the backyard,
raised by my grandparents with many stories worthy of being told around a
campfire only fed my curiosity more about what could be out there where the
eyes can’t see because it is too dark for the mind to even imagine what might
be.
Growing up watching series such as A Haunting, Buffy TheVampire Slayer, Angel to only name a few,
I decided to keep a journal of what I would love the most. One word kept
on coming back: Vampires. The idea of someone coming back from a side we know
nothing of, immortal, immune to diseases, able to hypnotize and control its
prey mesmerized me.
Vampire Obsession
It was to the point where I wondered if it would be possible
for beings as such to live in a world parallel to our own without us knowing
about them? Of course, I was still young and naive with an overactive
imagination hoping that our world was not as gray as it seemed.
As the year went by, I collected more books about vampires,
read all that I could about the paranormal and even romance to have a different
view of the creatures. Some were monstrous while others were more dreamy, but
one thing remained the same: THEY are the predators and we are the preys.
There are many worlds built around vampires from many
cultural and more than one authors. It is somewhat hard to depict where it all
truly started for it seems that every culture has its own view of the creature
and its own name and purpose. While some think they are vulnerable, others
think they are demons. Just like mythology, vampires have found its way in
almost every continent in every folklore.
Writing More
It almost brings up the question: Were they ever real? Are
they still among us? Were they visitors from another world or a race that we
hunted to extinction?
Until I know the answer and am satisfied with it, I will not
stop looking and writing and researching. Like a star in the night, I will
blink and shine upon the paths of those who walk the night and stalk the one I
am looking for until I see his fangs to prove that my darkest passion always
had a reason be.
