Tiffany Allee | Sticking Vampires in Weird Places

twitterfacebookblog
Weird settings, that is. What were you thinking? Earlier this week, my book DON'T BLACKMAIL THE VAMPIRE was released from Entangled's Covet line. It is the sequel to DON'T BITE THE BRIDESMAID (although it can be read as a stand-alone story). The series is a lighthearted take on paranormal romance, something even contemporary romance lovers might enjoy. And one of the ways I've found to make vampires a little funnier, and their stories a little more lighthearted, is to take them out of their comfort zones and watch the awkward fun unfold. DON'T BITE THE BRIDESMAID took a vampire and made him ride around on a cruise ship for the majority of the story (that's a lot of rays for a sun-challenged man!), and in keeping with this tradition, I set DON'T BLACKMAIL THE VAMPIRE in a place where you wouldn't necessarily expect a vampire story to be set—a ski resort.

Did you know vampires can ski?

Well they totally can. And they can ice skate. Yep. I was surprised, too.

Not only can they ski and ice skate, Charles proves that they can also be nice,
charming guys, who are only sort of obsessed with blood.

But the setting still creates some awkward situations for Charles. It's bad
enough that he's stuck in (cloudy) daylight quite a bit, which makes him a
little ill and a lot hungry, but he's constantly having to rescue the heroine
from her own terribly awkward moments. Vampires might be able to ski and ice
skate (this one, at least), but the heroine, Rachel, is human, and not super
athletic.

Not that being rescued by a hot vampire is necessarily a bad thing. I can't say I'd object. ;) Are you a tiny bit mean like I am—grinning while your favorite characters are stuck places where they just don't totally fit in? One commenter will win a copy of DON'T BITE THE BRIDESMAID (ebook)

Ice skating vampires sounds very amusing. Looking forward to checking that out.

(Barbara Studer 12:17pm May 1, 2014)

Oh this sounds really interesting... you have me very curious about their stories!
(Colleen Conklin 1:04pm May 1, 2014)

I bought it yesterday. It really sounds fun ! I didn't know there was one
before ! (a bit busy, lol). Your vampires sound cool !
(Monique Daoust 9:49pm May 1, 2014)

I do like to see characters out of their comfort zone but only
if it fits in the story, it lets me see a different side to
them I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
(Jen Barnard 11:05pm May 1, 2014)

Oh, yeah! That's what makes an interesting story. This one
sounds fun, too.
(Janie McGaugh 11:06pm May 1, 2014)

Oh yeah. Make them work a bit harder for their HEA. :-)
(Glenda Martillotti 11:26pm May 1, 2014)

hahahaha yeah i love when the characters end in the most
difficult and awkward situations. it gives a little humor to
the story. but the book shouldn't have ALL awkward moments but
also some adventure and danger and romance. :D
(Sarah Hansrote 1:36am May 2, 2014)

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks so much for all the great comments! And Monique, I hope you enjoy the book! While both books do include a lot of the same characters and such, you can definitely read the second book without having read the first. :)

sounds like a great book and i think that they are around so long that they learn how to do lot's of things.
(Jennifer Beck 7:56pm May 2, 2014)

Having a vampire stuck on a cruise, skiing, and heaven forbid as part of a wedding sounds really mean and very, very interesting! Read a number of you books and loved them.
(Annetta Sweetko 9:10pm May 2, 2014)

love vampires :)
(Tami Bates 8:01pm May 3, 2014)

What a great series! I love a little humor with my vampires.
