Blurb:
Ember Winterstone is not having a good night. She wakes up in a dumpster.
Her neck hurts where her date used her as a meal. Vampire hunters chase her, and the other vampires think she is the real queen, especially since she is a day walker, eats food, drinks almost no blood, and stands up to Zophia, the psycho vampire queen.Ember’s problems have just begun.Her mother has kept a couple of major secrets from her, the two men who make Ember drool refuse to claim her, and the psycho vampire queen decides Ember must die.Excerpt:
The night I died, I woke up into a world I thought only existed in the warped minds of screenwriters in Hollywood and romance authors who wrote about the dark, tortured soul looking for his or her soul mate. I mean, get real. Vampires and werewolves are stuff of myth and legends.
Right?
Wrong. Wro
Vampires are REAL.
How do I know this?
The night I died, I woke up as a vampire. But of course, leave it to me to screw up the whole process.
Okay, I am rambling.
Sorry about that, and I am sorry for apologizing, and I—you get the idea.
By the way, I’m Ember. Ember Winterstone.
I know what you’re thinking. Ember the Vampire. I guess you are waiting for me to burst into flames. Ha. Ha. The jokes are not funny. I did not pick my name. That honor is my parents’ fault; or rather, it was my mom’s fault. I do not know much about dear old dad. Mom doesn’t have any pictures and she never said much about him other than he was special and he had duties that came before their love, but he loved us very much and wanted us to be happy.
I guess it was her way of making excuses for a deadbeat dad.
Then, my mom married Henry Taylor when I was ten.
She said I wasn’t happy because I didn’t have a father and it was her job to make sure I had one. I think mom was lonely. Memories don’t keep you warm at night. Anyway, I ended up with a weird stepfather and an even weirder, older stepbrother.
I don’t have a lot of time this afternoon, lots of things to do to prepare for the Halloween Ball, but I need to get my story down on paper.
First, I am a reporter. My job is to tell stories, to get the facts into print so people can read it. Second, I want to be the one telling my story so it is accurate. So many biographies have errors or they make the person sound more heroic than the person really was. Third, it gives me a way to sort out the details and make some sort of meaning from everything that has happened to me. Call it a therapeutic activity, if you want.
Where does my journey begin?
That’s easy.
It began on the day I died and woke up.

When I write, I like listening to music. I think it’s actually a throwback to when I was in high school and listened to music as I did my homework. I listened to the radio and to records…vinyl records.Music From My Reluctantly Undead Playlist
Even back then, my taste in music was eclectic. Pop music. Jazz. Country. Classical. Disco. If I liked it, I listened to it.
I know some writers want quiet when they write, but not me. Music is a way of tuning out the world around me, and gives my brain something else to process while I write. Music sets the mood, and it is calming to me.
Sometimes I use headphones and other times, I just plug my IPhone into speakers and blast the music. This usually happens when I am home alone. No one is around to tell me to turn down the music.
Here are some of the songs that were on my playlist for Reluctantly Undead:
I Love the Nightlife by Alicia BridgesAnother Day in Paradise by Phil CollinsRight Down the Line by Gerry RaffertyMore Than a Woman by The Bee GeesLand of Confusion by GenesisSay You’ll Be There by Spice GirlsLittle Lies by Fleetwood MacToxic by Britney SpearsNew Attitude by Patti LaBelleObsession by Animation
I’m constantly adding songs to my IPhone. If I like a song, I add it to my collection. I’m not stuck on listening to one genre.
