I Smell Sheep is proud to bring you our latest interview, author of the amazing Love at Stake series Kerrelyn Sparks! Sexy Scottish Vampires are the way to this gals heart and Kerrelyn DELIVERS time and time again. Read on to see what all the hype's about, while we try to uncover some of the workings in this authors mind. Then make sure to run out on March 29th to get your copy of Vampire Mine! We hope you enjoy the interview. :)
New York. Romatech Industries. 2 Sheep and 1 Investigator meet.
Katie: Let me start out by saying thank you for being here with us today, we know you're a very busy lady so lets jump right into it. Your Love At Stake Series has been going strong now for awhile, for those who may not know a thing about it can you give them a little insight?
Sure. The Love at Stake series started in 2005 with the first book, How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire. And that book starts off with Roman Draganesti losing a fang after biting something he shouldn’t have. He has one night to get his fang fixed or the wound will heal permanently, leaving him a lopsided eater for all eternity. You can probably guess that these books are romantic comedies. To make it even more fun, I throw in a dose of paranormal, suspense, and adventure. The upcoming book, Vampire Mine, is number 10, but don’t let that scare you away from the series. Each book stands on its own and features a new hero and heroine, so there can be a new love story each time.
Katie: Yes I agree, I started at Ian’s book (All I want for Christmas is a Vampire) and I did not feel lost or out of the loop in any way. I then went back and read all the previous books because I feel in love with all your characters.
Thank you!
Amber: The vampires in your stories, well the good ones anyway, don't drink directly from humans. They do enjoy bagged blood and a few tasty ones like Chocolood and Bubbly Blood. Can you tell us how you came up with the concept and if we can look forward to a few new additions?
I found the concept of human Fusion Cuisine amusing. Then I thought why not do it for vampires? Who wouldn’t get tired of the same meal every night for centuries? And what Vamp woman would want to give up chocolate? So Chocolood was born, a mixture of chocolate and synthetic blood. And for those who overindulge and need to drop a few pounds, there’s Blood Lite, which is low in blood sugar and cholesterol. The Scottish Vamps are very fond of Blissky, which is synthetic blood and good Scots whiskey. Bubbly Blood is blood and champagne (for those special vampire occasions), and Bleer is blood and beer. There will be new ones in the future!
Amber: What about…Mochalood? Coffee Mocha and blood?
LOL! That’s a good one!
Katie: I love reading every book you write, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be a toss up between Ian and Dougal. *sigh* Now Ian has his own book, will Dougal be front and center at some point?
It is very possible. Dougal is shy and hasn’t told me his story yet, but I would like to do it. He has quite a few fans.
Katie: Oh I have a soft spot for the shy ones, I hope his story comes to you soon!
Amber: What was your favorite books to read as a kid?
Some time around the sixth grade, I went straight from Nancy Drew to adult books. I loved Mary Stewart and Anya Seton. Then later, I discovered Kathleen Woodiwiss, Julie Garwood, Amanda Quick, and Jude Deveraux. I mostly read historical romance, but I loved Mary Stewart’s contemporary suspense, and whenever she or any of the other authors included paranormal aspects, I really loved that.
Amber: Mine was Amelia Bedlia, she made me laugh every time! Lol
Katie: What has been one of the most rewarding things you have had happen in your life to date?
My children! They’re absolutely brilliant, and I’m not prejudiced in any way, simply stating fact! Other than my children, and my husband (who has a wicked sense of humor and keeps me laughing), I would say the books I’ve written and the response they get. I treasure every email or letter where a reader tells me that I’ve given them laughs and brightened their day. Some even say I’ve given them hope during a dark time in their life. That makes me feel really blessed, as if I’m doing exactly what I was meant to do.
Amber: Can we expect any new vamps or weres in upcoming books?
You mean that were-woodchuck? He would make a bad villain! Chucking all our wood, and then we’d have no more paper for books!
Amber: I love it! There must be a way to work that in. lol Would be too funny.
Katie: Where can fans find you over the next year or so. Any book signings or tours happening?
Yes. I’ll be doing a blog tour online, and then I’ll be at a few conferences. I’m in LA in April for the Romantic Times convention, then in Huntsville AL for a romance readers’ luncheon at the end of April. I’ll be in Shreveport LA on June 11, and then in NYC for the Romance Writers of America conference at the end of June. There will be a launch party March 29th for Vampire Mine at Katy Budget Books (West Houston, TX). For more details about online and live appearances, please go to the Appearances page of my website, www.kerrelynsparks.com.
Katie: We will be at the RT convention too! Look forward to seeing you there as well. Will you be doing any workshops at that or just book signings?
Yes. I’m doing a workshop with Pamela Palmer and L.A. Banks on Wednesday afternoon. Circle of Seven (COS) is hosting a reader/author get-together on Thursday, and I’ll be there. I’m also doing a session at Club RT on Thursday and Friday. Then on Friday evening, Avon is hosting a mixer. Don’t miss it! Half a dozen or so Avon authors will be signing free books. Avon usually gives away two boxes of books per author, along with some yummy food. And then on Saturday, I’ll participate in the giant Book Fair. See you at RT!!
Amber: Who has been your greatest inspiration in life and writing?
My grandmother. She was a church librarian for fifty years and taught me to honor books. When I was very young, I would sit in her lap while she read to me. And then later during summertime, I would spend a week at her house, and we would walk to the church and I’d help her in the library. She also taught me to quilt and crochet. When she had quilting bees, I would sit underneath the big frame and watch the needles moving and listen to her and her friends talk. They were actually a lively, funny group. There are times I feel that writing is like quilting—taking all the little pieces and putting them together to make something warm, comfy, and lovely.
Katie: If you could have any super power or ability what would it be and why?
I would love to be able to teleport! Imagine having tea in London, then dinner in Paris, then off to Venice for a moonlit gondola ride. You could go anywhere in the world, and if you happen to find yourself in a bad situation, you just teleport away.
Amber: If you could have a dream date with any person, living dead or undead, who would it be and why?
Ha! All the Vamp guys are funny and sexy, but I’d stick with my husband. After twenty-two years of marriage, he still makes me laugh. But hey, wouldn’t it be fun to double date with Angus and Emma? Or Jean-Luc and Heather? Or any of the couples?
Amber: Shanna and Roman! That would be a hoot, she cracks me up. Lol
Katie: Okay, last question. How much wood could a Woodchuck chuck if a Woodchuck could chuck wood?
Oh no! The were-woodchuck is back! Stay away from him. In human form, he’s a lumberjack and spends all day cutting wood. Then the full moon comes out and he shifts and starts chucking all the wood he cut for the entire month! Poor guy.
Katie: lol yeah, he just chucked all his hard work away!
Katie: And now ladies and gentleman we step into the *pulls out bullhorn* RAPID FIRE ROUND!!! lol sorry got a little carried away for a second. Sit back and clear your mind Kerrelyn, think of the first answer that pops up. Ready……..set……….GO!
Katie: Bunny or Hamster
Bunny. Love the big ears.
Amber: Tails or Feathers
Tails, as long as they’re furry.
Katie: Fangs or Claws
Fangs. I’d rather be nibbled on than scratched.
Katie: mmm yes *pops in plastic vampire teeth* can I have a tiny nibble Kerrelyn? Lol
Yikes!
Amber: Toast or Bagels
Bagels. With cream cheese, please.
Katie: Crossbow or Mace
Crossbow.
Amber: Disco dancing or Line dancing
LOL, line dancing, but don’t tell Gregori!
Katie: Grapes or Raisins
Grapes.
Amber: Shrimp or Crab
Shrimp.
Katie: Vodka Gimlet or Lemon Drop
Lemon Drop.
Amber: Coke or Pepsi
Pepsi.
Katie: *sobbing* NOOOO!!!!
Amber: YES! That’s right Katie, Pepsi is waaaaay in the lead now! Hahahahaha
Katie: Enjoy this while it lasts Amber, Coke WILL be the final winner.
Katie: Cocktail dress or Ball gown
Cocktail dress.
Amber: Salty or Sweet
Both. In huge amounts, please.
Katie: We can't thank you enough for taking the time to chat with us, as fans and bloggers we just can't get enough of you and the wonderful books you write. Anything you would like to say before we go?
Thank you for inviting me! It was fun. I’d like to invite everyone to visit my website at www.kerrelynsparks.com. There’s a section there called The Vampire World, and it has videos, games to play, quizzes to take, and a forum where readers can chat with me and each other. You can also find me on Facebook.

ReplyDeleteHahaha. I love Kerrelyn's answers for the rapid fire. I was answering in my head as I was reading and I was thinking the same answers that she put.

Party on people, fun don't stop till we pop. :)

ReplyDeleteI guess as far as vampire cuisine it would have to be something decadant like bliramisu along with a rich cup of bloffee (blood coffee)
becky_mcmillen@att.net
Love this series. I HAVE READ THE BOOKS A TOTAL OF 27 TIMES AND STILL READING. We are Dr. Pepper fans here so Dr. Blood would be my choice. Add a little lime and you'd be good to go. Marsha at: marshavoe@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love this series and cant wait to keep reading more. There are so many things I would want to mix for Vampire Cuisine. Pina Colada and Blood or Tweaker Beaker, it's Everclear and fruit juice with blood or for my sweet tooth, Brownies and Blood.
ReplyDeletealinadufferAThotmail.com
Have a wonderful day!!!
I think that there should be a "MacKay Special Investagations" TV show. It would make a great TV series. It's different, fresh & sexxy with all those sexxy vamp security guards & all those fabulous stories.
ReplyDeleteLove your sense of humor and your books!!
ReplyDeleteThe vamps seem to be on the go most of the time and are often in a hurry to "eat." The easy solution would be a blood filled Pop Tart - pop it in the toaster or microwave and you're ready for a meal on the go in seconds. ;)
amanda.freeman@fuse.net
Love Kerrelyn's series! Soooooo excited for Connor! The shirt prize is very cool!
ReplyDeleteAs to a vampire cuisine, I would have to invent something fruity...I love apples so a mix of apple with blood would be good. Plus it would be really healthy with all those vitamins! Healthy and tasty so vampire women will not have to worry so much about gaining weight like with Chocolood lol
aegger.echo@yahoo.com
So many fantastic ideas!!! I just knew all my readers were brilliant! I have really enjoyed reading all the comments, thank you!
ReplyDeletei would do chocolate covered blood (like choc covered cherries)

Keep the books coming! they are awesome! I am a cereal lover so i would have to come up with a cereal with blood filled marshmallows in it like Lucky Charms but call it Fortunate Fangs :)=
ReplyDeletelove all the book oh we inculding the new Vamp Russell and the new shifter Rajiv. I would mind taking a liking to either those two.
ReplyDeleteVamp Cusine. Well I love Chinese so what about like vampire eggrolls. everything made eatable for a vamp with a blood dipping sauce.
stargateatlanti88@yahoo.com
love all the books. Only thing I'd to see more of that hot grizzly Howard. OH baby talk about a grizzly in bed. lol
ReplyDeleteAs to Vampire Cusine I have one or two I would make. Fun one a bloody pizza well maybe a little to gross. But here we go blood ice cream. I'm having a double ice cream bar with chocolate and vanilla. I am sure all the vamps would love a little treat like that.
Alley38068@aol.com
Ohhh Katie is onto something here with the whole gummy blood worms! Sorta like those gummy insects with "blood" filling. So cool and yummy. And I'm loving the sound of Holly's Bloody Slushies. I'm not even a vampire and I'm getting hungry.
ReplyDeleteI'd invent bloody popsicles.
And on a different note. Coke is the best drink ever.

Kerrelyn Sparks is in my topf five author no make that top three. All her books are fantasic do far my favorite has been Eat,Prey, Love which I am sure that will change once I read Connor's book.
ReplyDeleteVampire Cusine oh tricky. Eveyone as named so many good things. Well it not eaxactly a real cusine but here is an idea. I read about resturants that let you eat off of people. Naked people lol. So here is my idea. Have a resturant with everyones ideas for food and let them eat them off of naled people lol
Though then again they might decide to eat thier tabled instead of the food on them.

I am an avid tea drinker, particularly Formosa Oolong tea. So I would suggest Oolong Blood. It could come in different flavors, such as with milk, or honey and/or lemon, or sugar, etc. I find it very relaxing and soothing. It would hit the spot after the guys have been out vanquishing the bad guys.
ReplyDeleteI am counting the days until my copy of Connor's story arrives. He deserves some peace and love after so many lonely centuries.

New Kerrelyn fan here! Love this series and would love the MacKay S&I shirt.
ReplyDeleteSeveral ideas for Vampire Fusion Cuisine run through my mind. Here are 2 I really like:
Creme Bloodlée (like Creme Brulée) a nice blood gelatin with a clear and crisp sugar coating that makes it mirror shiny upon serving.
Bloodaccino (like capuccino)Blood and espresso with a touch of frothed plasma on top.
I could think of so many more!!!

Love the Blood Red Velvet cake idea! yummy! And the lasagna sounds like a winner. :)
ReplyDelete@ Jessica Rabbit Coke is awesome, glad you agree. ;)
more ideas!
MMM dark chocolate icecream with raspberries and blood sauce!

I'm so excited about Con's book and cannot wait to read it.All your Vamps are too hot Sherrelyn. Love them all.
ReplyDeleteAs for Vampire cuisine it seems everyone came up with some real winners so I'm going to just say candy dots filled with Blood making them Blots and Blinkies--twinkies filled with rich blood.

I love your books. Can't wait to read he next one.
ReplyDeleteVampire Cuisine would be Blocream.(blood laced ice cream)
Blookies. (blood cookies.
Very excited about Connor's book.
ReplyDeleteAs for cuisine, this is actually something I've thought about before while reading the book, powdered blood that can be mixed with water. It'd be easier for them to simply go into a store and buy a bottle of water and then peel open a packet of the powdered blood and then shake and drink. They could also stir it into hot water too. It'd be helpful while they're out chasing Casimir.

I love all of the books in this series and cannot wait for Vampire Mine.
ReplyDeleteI would do a mixture of blood with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
smccar1 at hotmail dot com
I would have to say that Mexican would be intresting....it is my fav. As far as drinks I would go with Pepsi or Sweet Tea for the Non-Alcoholic. and for Alcohol I would say a Long Island Ice Tea or some of the fruit drinks for the ladies.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerrelyn! Love the books! I have all of them and counting down the days until "Vampire Mine".

I would have to go with a vampire cuisine that substituted for lobster. Candlelight and a bloodster dinner.

Chocolate-Raspberry-Blood truffle!!! Kerrelyn, I love your books and always look forward to (or wait impatiently) the next one.
ReplyDeleteHow about bloody Tequila
ReplyDeleteWell my first answer would be chocolate but we already have Chocolood. Did I spell that right? I think I'd do any type of carb. I'm a carb junkie and my diabetes hates it lol! Donuts or cheesecake is something that Romatech needs to make.

ReplyDeleteHonestly I would figure out a formula for an injectable amount of Synthetic blood to be put into any solid food or drink so you could hide better in a crowd of humans. Sort of like those single serve drink mixes carry those in your pocket and wa la instant fusine.
banalwolffae@yahoo.com
I don't know why, but my immediate thought for vampire cuisine was "Bacon and Blood souffle"...
ReplyDeleteTeiwazfinal AT gmail DOT com
I would probably suggest something along the lines of green tea/blood, since I am a huge fan of tea of all kinds.
ReplyDeletelokne@hotmail.com
Kerrelyn,
ReplyDeleteLove your books and can't wait for Vampire mine. I'm counting down the days myself! Thank you for so many good reads. Wilma
First off, I love your books!! Second, I would mix Dr. Pepper with Blood to make Dr. Blood. Or mix Blood with the flavors of pizza to make blizza.
ReplyDeleteLove your books and can't wait for Vampire Mine!

I would do a chocolate blood lava cake. Using the chocoblood drink to make the cake and then use synthetic blood to make the lava.

ReplyDeleteWhat type of vampire cuisine would you invent?
Oh, geez, I can't even manage HUMAN cuisine. I guess I would maybe do something with chocolate...you know Cherry Blossoms? Well, I'd replace the cherry with blood and make Blood Blossoms. There you go.
Wow! This is so awesome that I have found so many PEPSI lovers! lol.
ReplyDeleteKatie... just breathe in and out. In and out. You'll find a new drink to love :P
I have to say my faves so far are the chocolate and coffee suggestions! Those are two staples in life that you simply can't live without, vampire or not. lol
Thanks for all the sheepy love people! Keep it comin'!
kerrrelyn,
ReplyDeletei love you books.can't wait for this one.and on pins and niddles waiting for the next.i was wondering what are you gonna do about shanna's dad.why not have him turned in to a shape shifter.then shanna could have a relationship with her mom.as for food item how about a blood carrot cake.brenda
foolishsis@yahoo.com
Can you imagine cutting into a chocolate lava cake and blood gushing out? Ack! But I bet the Vamps would love it! So many great ideas here! And amazing that no one seems grossed out by all the blood, but instead is trying their best to make it yummy! Gotta love it! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this book to come out. I think Blood and rum would be cool. You could call it Blum. Lucretia
ReplyDeleteanewkirk@roadrunner.com
My new fav is Raspberry beer and I'm not even a beer drinker!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your books. As soon as I could I had Vamoire Mine preordered!! And as soon as I can preorder Gregory's book I will. My husband and I are stationed overseas and your books bring my spirit up when I am down, missing my family. Keep writing Mrs. Sparks I will always be a fan. And make more books after Gregory's.
ReplyDeleteMilkshakes with blood comes in all the fruit flavors and the best thing to have on a hot summer night.
ReplyDeletechivixen@sbcglobal.net
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI loved the interview..some pretty different and funny questions asked..
I love all of your books..Love how you intertwine all of the characters..
Thank you for this chance..
Ok my food..Maybe a Blood Cherry Cheesecake..
:)
baby_blackroze@yahoo.com
Strawberry Shortcake is one of my favorite
ReplyDeletedesserts. To make it more vamp-worthy, I
would add blood to the "strawberry sauce"
which I drizzle over the dessert.I would
also dip my whole berries into a chocolate-
blood coating mix and allow them to dry. I
would then place several of them in the
whipped cream topping which adorns the top
of each serving. YUMMY!
Pat Cochran/p-cochran@juno.com
I love your books, I started with All I Want for Christmas is a Vampire, and than went back and read the rest! Already pre-ordered Vampire Mine for my kindle.
ReplyDeleteI would make coffee/blood combo as I am cofeeholic!
nothing like a green apple martini so how about a green apple bloodtini:) lol
ReplyDeletelove your books kerrelyn, you are coming to a book signin in a town close to wear i live in june cant wait to me you!!!
angelbugfairy@yahoo.com
Hard choice! I think either something with coffee (Coffee au Blood) or cheesecake. But can you imagine years without coffee!!!! I love all of your books by the way, I've re-read them to many times to count.
ReplyDeleteangiedartt937@yahoo.com
@Sandra thanks for the positive feedback, glad u liked the interview! :)
ReplyDeleteI would create a White Chocolate Blood Cheesecake. It would a New York style cheesecake with a blood swirl.
ReplyDelete@Amber you may have won this battle, but I will win the war! ;)
ReplyDelete@Kerrelyn who's afraid of a little blood? lol Not me!
Keep the comments rockin people!
I love all your books!! Can't wait for the new one to come out! I would do either a bloody butterscotch pudding or a bloody bananas foster.
ReplyDeletetopcat9250@snet.net
Well, since I've been on a dieting kick lately, maybe they could do a blood zero, lol, instead of a coke zero. :)
ReplyDeletejgriffin1018@gmail.com
1. Rprgirl12397@aol.com
ReplyDelete2.I would invent a Bloodtini for perhaps if Vanda ever remakes her club and or some kind of Blood Ice cream. Everyone loves Ice cream and I'm sure there are plenty of vampire women who after a bad break up or something want to have a big to of B&J and can't which is major suck.
werewolf_girl_001@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteAt first i thought key lime pie yummm ^-^
but im not sure that would be a good idea kind of coppery lime flavor
how about kettle corn
ccalvarez90@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteTo keep up with the drinks in the vampire cousin my first thought will be. Bloodka. Do I need to explain?
It seams that Kerelyn has covered almost every drink in the book but the russian elixir. And since is a mixure of blood and vodka, i think it gives a whole new meaning to a bloody Mary...
Thanks for everythink Kerrelyn looking foward to read this one!!
XOOX
I would invent the Blootini and the Strawberry Bloodquiri *grins* who doesn't already love them.
ReplyDeletejadedkatrina@yahoo.com

I can't wait for this book to be released. I like the idea someone else mentioned for Red Velvet Cake, but that might be because I love Red Velvet Cake. :-)

ReplyDeleteI want any kind of coffee in blood but Bloodlatte would be soooo good:)
There is alot of great food and drinks in this world, so it seems hard to chose what kind of food to go with the blood fusion. One that comes to my head at the moment is a Pepsi blood fusion. Then I'd start working on Johnny Walker Black blood fusion and then both together. Lol.

Love the books!!! Just cannot wait for the next. How about bloody kisses?? (Blood filled chocolate kisses). They would just melt in your mouth. MMMMmmm.

teardrop6047@aol.com
I haven't read any of your books yet but I cant wait to go out and buy them. They sound really good
ReplyDeleteI would make a Vodka flavored one. You have Bleer and Bliskey. You could call it Blodka. I can not wait till the book comes out. I was so excited when I read that Gregori is getting his own book too. I bet it will be hilarious.
ReplyDeleteamy4@rock.com
I love pomegranate anything, so I'd make a cocktail called Pomelood. Also, a kiddie cocktail using Squirt, but mixed with synthetic blood I'd call it "Spurt" - lol!

ReplyDeleteHmmm, since whiskey and chocolate are covered, I guess I'd invent Irish Bloodfast tea, so I could get my morning pick-me-up of Irish breakfast!

How about Bline---Blood and Wine! Love this series and am counting down the days till Vampire Mine comes out! Conner one of my favorites since the beginning!
ReplyDeleteThank you! mmafsmith@gmail.com
I would create a bloodtini - I'm sure many would love martini + blood! I would make cookies with blood drizzle and other desserts.

bloodipops! blow pop suckers with blood in the middle. and bloodicies - blood popcicles

Awsome Books, love the series.love the group from Mackay S&I. not sure what kind of cuisine, there has been alot of good ones mentioned,I myself drink diet caffine free Pepsi & decaf Coffee maybe a mixture with eather one of these. jubug42@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI love your books and cannot wait until the new ones are released. I have read all of your books thus far and I still giggle thinking about the "Love Bites" series... and a new food choice? how about ice bleam? lol
ReplyDeletethanks you! debbifarmer@yahoo.com
I am very excited to read about Conner getting his com-uppance from the other vamps. I think the "payback" will have some definite comedic value.. and since I've read the teaser-like 20 times,I hope if he does't kill Casmir ,he at least breaks his other arm! ejgoff61@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteVampire Pasta!!! Italian food should not be limited to the human palate. With a nice thick red sauce no one will suspect bloody contents versus tomato paste.
ReplyDeleteann.avila@yahoo.com :D
Bloodarita....my version of a margarita!!!!
ReplyDeletegin3237@yahoo.com
Don't know what to name them but I've got 2 favorite foods. Sushi and the rice can be soaked in blood since rice absorbs so well and the other would be my mom's chicken and sausage gumbo with blood. Maybe cut the amount of water in half and replace it with blood. Oh! As for a desserts/drinks go, it would have to be bloody daiquiri and a bloody snowball. For those who don't know what that is, it's like a snowcone but 100000x better. Also, the snowball is something the kids can have. So far all the current drinks seem to be alcoholic. I'm from New Orleans, I'd need the gumbo, daiquiri, and snowball if I were a Vamp. :P
ReplyDeletenarmocuruni@yahoo.com
Since I love chocolate martinis I'd like to see a martini made with chocolood. I love this series and can hardly wait to read Connor's book.

ReplyDeleteParty on ladies, loving these ideas. :)

ReplyDeleteI'd go for coffee! but maybe I just have coffee on the brain?
ReplyDeleteEmilytardy@yahoo.com
I should have some kind of coffee and toffee mixture.
ReplyDeletejcross719@yahoo.com
Definately a candy with chocolate and blood my second invention would be a blood and chocolate sauce (sorta like hersheys syrup)great on desserts or straight from the bottle .
ReplyDeleteflanagan@mebtel.net
For those vamps who likes fruity flavors might enjoy Blood Oranges and Grapefruits. Each pulp sac bursting with deliciously sweet and tangy blood!

I would invent "Vampere Tea" for those vampires that crave the Empire fashion of Regency England.
ReplyDeleteOOps. I guess I was supposed to provide my email. Here it is: VonnieAlto@gmail.com. And, yest, I think I would like to taste my concoction of "Vamprere Tea."

ReplyDeleteBloodka - Mixture of blood and vodka for those of us who love our Gimlets!
Bloodsi - Mixture of blood and pepsi for pepsi fans like yourself Kerrelyn.
And...
Bloke - Mixture of blood and coke for the coke fans. Or we could just take the British meaning for the word and have the bartender deliver a hot vampire guy instead! Ohhh... Well a girl can dream can't she?!

Well, I would have to have my Special K meal bars, so I would have to work something out like that ;-) Maybe call it Special B meal bars LOL.

I love the idea Chelsea has, and to play off that how about this:
ReplyDelete"Are you a Vamp on the go? No time to grab some blood then reach for a Special B Bar! Never go hungry while on the go again!"
Pretty good right? :) We should all pat ourselves on the back for being so darn creative!
Awesome giveaway and great interview too!
ReplyDeleteI'd make a white chocolate mocha cuisine for sure because I couldn't live without those, even as a vamp!
readingbetweenthewines10(at)gmail(dot)com
Definitely need a mix of with a cappuccino.
ReplyDeletePerhaps even assorted chocolates. Using different blood types for the different flavors?
jfajt90@yahoo.com
Loved the fun interview ty for sharing :)!
ReplyDeleteNot sure on cusine but thought of these:
Bloodshots - convenient 2.5 fl oz of blood with a dash of caffiene easily stashed in totes, purses, and gym bags to give that extra boost in between meals for the active vamp
BloodDrops - gelled blood drops with a hint of mint for the vamp who cares about fresh breath
BloodShakes - convenient milk and blood drinks with added vitamins and protein to suppliment a meal for the vamp on the go
