Book Description:
It's been a while
since witches had to worry about being burnt at the stake…
Forty-nine, English
and a professional crone, Sophronia is touring America when she is forced to
spend the night at a run-down motel on the Californian coast. Her expectations
aren't high- - if the bed's clean and the toilet flushes she'll count herself
lucky. But events are about to become far more interesting. The motel owner is
a juvenile witch unaware of her heritage and in dire need of help, especially
when vampires turn up...
I live in the UK
with my husband, two sons, two cats and a dog. I am a French and English
teacher which I love and it pays the bills, but I got hooked on writing when I
entered a short story competition at the age of eighteen and wrote of my own
free will without a homework deadline looming. I’ve been waiting for the
impulse to wear off ever since…
I wrote this story
when I was coming up to my 50th and feeling a bit sorry for myself. I love the
vampire/paranormal genre - Buffy and Sookie in particular - but there comes a
time when you just can’t identify with gorgeous, pert twenty-somethings any
more and it seems a little undignified to even want to. I also love Terry
Pratchett’s Discworld novels about Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg – two of the
wiliest crones in the business – but wanted something a little more glamorous
and contemporary; I can only take so much stuff with the frogs and the
cauldrons. When it comes to supernatural powers I’ve always preferred Julian
May’s metapsychics in the Saga of the Exiles, so that’s how Sophronia was
created. Hagen was easy.
Obviously heroes
can’t be murderers, but I wanted a vampire who wasn’t wracked with guilt over his
diet and who seemed to be having fun being an immortal. I hope people will
enjoy reading SOPHRONIA AND THE VAMPIRE as much as I enjoyed writing it.
