Excerpt from Chapter 1: Never Date A Vampire

Before I had more time to dwell on his charm, he asked, “Well, have you eaten yet?”

I nodded. “I already ate upstairs.”

“At the Top of the World?” I nodded again as he continued, fascinated by his voice and the accent I still couldn’t place. He was saying something about the view or the lights, but it was hard to follow when I couldn’t take my eyes off his mouth. His lips. His voice was a strong rhythm mesmerizing my brain. He stopped talking and I watched as a slow smile formed. I blinked and looked into his amazing eyes. “We could get out of here and explore the Strip.”

I shook my head, mumbling, “Sure.”

“Let’s go, then.” He finished the rest of his martini. I just left the rest of my drink. We moved out of the seating area. He stopped at the bar, dropping a bill onto the counter. It must have been a big bill, because the guy gave him a big thank you. My Bond-like date waved at him.

As I walked next to him, I realized I still didn’t know his name. As if he read my mind, he answered, “By the way, my name is Dante.”

“I’m Cassandra. Cassie for short.”

“Glad to know you, Cassie.”

He put his arm around my waist and guided me up the stairs to the front doors. I felt the pressure of his hand on my back. All of a sudden, I wanted him. I felt the pounding of my heart. My legs were moving almost as if I had no will over them, and all I wanted was to be with Dante. We walked out the door, and he gave a ticket to the valet.

He turned to me, saying, “Now my dear, we’ll take in the best sight in Vegas: my hotel room.” He kissed me, slowly, deliciously, and all I wanted to do was be with him. My brain focused on nothing else. I even didn’t mind the cheesy line of being taken to his hotel room. The valet pulled up in his black Lamborghini, and he helped me get in. I leaned back in the leather seats, shaking my head for a minute as he broke contact with my arm. But it only lasted for a minute, because I felt his hand caressing my hand after he got into the driver’s seat. “Lean back and relax Cassie. It’s not a long drive.”

That’s when I felt my eyes starting to close slowly. Outside the car, someone was calling my name, but I didn’t see who because everything went dark.

Interview with Marilyn Vix

Do your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have the reigns of the story?

Marilyn Vix: My characters are always hijacking the story. I just wait in the wings and watch like a voyeur, writing down what they are doing. They surprise me all the time. I pants most of my character driven stories, meaning I have an idea what may happen, but when I wait and watch what my characters do, it doesn’t always turn out how I think it will. I let them guide me.

Convince us why you feel your book is a must read.

Marilyn Vix: Las Vegas and Vampires. You can’t go wrong with that combination. Toss in the secret, paranormal underground world, and bam, my poor Cassie doesn’t have a chance. She’s found herself in the middle of a vampire tornado. Should be fun.

Have you written any other books that are not published?

Marilyn Vix: Yes. I have been working on a kpop romance and should have it published soon. I will announce everything through my website and newsletter. Hint. Hint. Please sign up. You’ll get all the inside looks and any goodies I send out to my readers too.

Pen or typewriter or computer?

Marilyn Vix: I started writing in the early nineties with pen and the occasional typewriter. I later moved to word processor, and am happily now using a laptop computer for all my writing. It’s like being in heaven. I wanted a real computer so bad when I worked on the word processor, but I miss those days sometimes. There was no Internet or social media to distract me.

Anything you would like to say to your readers and fans?

Marilyn Vix: I am so thankful for your reading support and interest. I feel so lucky that you enjoy reading what I’ve put on the pages, and humble that I’m blessed to do something I love to do, write. Thank you.
