Afternoon Greetings to the folks dreading the bright and sunshiny January days!

It's been quiet here at the Vampfam blogger for one important reason: I've been wrapping up edits on the next merry-go-round in The Vampire Family world. What do you think of Tales from The Vampire Family? I suck at titles!

The Vampire Family has a long and torrid past, present, and future. In this series of vampire vignettes, the family's Occult scholar Professor A. James shares Ann's earliest vampire loves, Elizabeth's colonial travels, Victoria's errors in judgment, and even a good does of punishment for Lilith. Revel in the lust, torment, and resurrection with Tales from The Vampire Family!



Ready for more details? Perhaps a sample story or two? Join me Tomorrow Thursday January 14 for a Q&A Day at The Kristin Battestella Yahoo Group.

Updates will also happen at our Vampire Family Facebook Page. We're in this instantaneous social trend, but I like the Yahoo Group as a static list and calendar store. Like Leigh Wood's regularly scheduled visits on our loop, I'd like to have this regular Q&A should anyone wish to de-lurk. Don't forget you can also follow or RSS The Vampfam blogger or the Scares and Spices livejournal to stay up to date. I'm also updated my author website, so it might look messy before it looks vampire swank!

After Leigh Wood's Guest Day Tuesday, January 19, things will be a little quiet again for me until our next live chat with Eternal Press. Join us 8 p.m. Monday February 1 at Night Owl Romance. By then I should have Tales from The Vampire Family submitted to the publisher. I'm just being too picky with my manuscript. I can't help it!

Maybe I'll take a break from it and crack open the Dark Shadows DVDS I got for Christmas! We can always talk about that over the Q&A! Until then, you might want to catch up on The Vampire Family proper. You can pick up our ebook for your favorite reader or hold our sweet paperback in your cold hands via Amazon!

It's a long, tough journey on the way to New Isosceles, and the animosity between Rub and JJ gets hotter by the day…



JJ was as hard nosed as they come-and then some. But, hey, the destruction of earth did that to everyone. Humanity fractioned into three groups. Affectionately known as 'the Shitters', the Shipper Brigade manufactures the best space faring vehicles for themselves. Skilled fighters and martial artists Combatants like JJ fight the Shippers for what they can-even though Combatant numbers were severely depleted by the third faction. The Nukes rescued chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons from earth's doom and aren't afraid to use them.



You can imagine JJ's surprise when she meets the Nuke Lieutenant Rub. Their initial meeting didn't rub either the right way. Despite her Nuke anxiety-JJ has to put it all aside. Her Captain and the Nuke Colonel have struck a deal to defeat the Shippers once and for all. The Nukes leave their tiny outpost on a far flung, degrading planet and join the Combatants in taking the lush planet protected by the Shippers.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now available in paperback!



Antonio Welshire was sadistic even before Mestiphles turned him into a vampire. Over the

centuries, the Welshire patriarch has had his favorites--his tormented wife Elizabeth and

her exotic sister Ann, just to name a few. Victoria's whims rival that of her father's, but

daughter Samantha spends the decades looking for an end to this macabre vampire existence.

Not all of Antonio's dark children want to be part of The Vampire Family. They've survived

coven wars and persecutions, but can The Vampire Family survive each other?
