"vampire story with a nice surprise ending"
Roger Wanamaker is a web page designer who works nights
from his home in Upstate New York. Roger also happens to be
a vampire. No, he doesn't sleep in a coffin. He rises at
dusk from a double bed with Martha Stewart percale sheets
from K-Mart. He has never tasted warm blood; it is
delivered cold in clear plastic bags once a week by the
same man who has served his family for generations. But Roger wasn't happy with his life. He felt that because
of his father, and his "weakness" for mortal women, that
his rightful legacy had been stolen from him. He wished
that he had been around in the days when vampires were
strong and powerful. More than anything else he wished to
find an everlasting love to share eternity with a mate
whose pure vampire blood would offset the weakness in his.
Then at least his children would not have to suffer the way
he did. Roger had loved his mortal mother, for she had given him
life but he blamed his father for the terrible pain of
having to watch her waste away and die. One night while waiting on-line for a client (who failed to
show up) Roger wanders into a role-playing chat room
called "Transylvania." Normally he avoided chat rooms like
the plague, but this one was different. Once he enters the
room he switches to his vampire birth name Brakos, King of
the Vampires. He later meets the elusive Firenza "Fyre"
Queen of the Gypsies, the two of them are drawn together
almost instantly and not long after they begin an online
relationship. Can he tell her who and what he really is, or
are they fated to remain online lovers? Ms Bleser has penned an extremely well written novella. I
would have liked the story to have been a bit longer, but
that is how it is when you fall in love with the
characters... you just hate to see the story end. If you
are in the mood for a vampire story with a nice surprise
ending, then I recommend you read, Brakos@Twilight.com. I
hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
