While
Toni is gone with Lola on the book tour for Bound to Remember, I figured I’d hijack her blog to talk about
what’s really important this month (besides the book tour)… yep that’s right
March Madness. So I figured who better than to talk sports with than Ben, a
vampire who has been around since the beginning of the beloved sport. I bet he has
some crazy insight on who’s gonna win so let’s check Ben out.
DC Hall:
What’s up Ben? How are you?
Ben: I
am well.
DC:
Cool… so how are your brackets looking?
Ben:
Pardon?
DC: Your
brackets? I finished mine last night but I figured since you’re like 500 years
old you’d have all the March Madness statistics.
Ben: I
do not know of these brackets, nor why you are upset with the
month of March but I am only 28 years old.
DC: How
long have you been 28?
Ben:
*smiles* Since 1813.
DC: Wow
well since you don’t watch basketball tell me what about yourself.
Ben: I
have been around for about 200 years. The world has changed so much since I
was made vampire that I do not keep up with things such as sports.
DC: Oh,
made into a vampire. Was that cool?
Ben: You
watch too much television DC. Being made is… complex and your ‘cool’ cannot
begin to describe the process.
DC: Tell
me about it…
Ben:
Being made is very painful. I was fed on too much while visiting a brothel. I was in agony for hours as my bodied died and I became a
vampire.
DC: Man
you're a vampire and you lived in a brothel. What more can a guy
ask for?
Ben: I
was sired by the madam of the brothel so her morals were corrupt and
manipulative. My first years as a vampire were not… pleasant. Even after I was
freed from my maker’s clutches I wandered around unhappily until recently.
DC: This
sudden change wouldn’t have anything to do with a hot doctor would it?
Ben:
*laughs* yes. Antonia is…unlike anyone, human, or vampire that I’ve ever met.
DC: Wow
sounds like things get pretty intense for you guys. What’s the best thing about
Toni..er Antonia?
Ben: She
is strong, compassioned, and accepting of who I am. But there is something else
about her that I cannot put my finger on… she is truly my beautiful enigma. But
the best thing about Antonia… I cannot share that with you.
DC: Man
come on, it’s just us guys.
Ben: What
Antonia and I have is private. But I will tell you no wine can compare to her... to
her *coughs* sorry I forget myself.
DC: No
you’re okay. I’m not oppose to hot bloody human vampire sex –
Ben:
*Growl*
DC: Oh,
sorry… didn’t mean to make you mad. *nervous laugh* You’re not gonna eat me or
anything?
Ben: No,
but you will not talk about her in that manner.
DC:
Toni. Sex. Blood. Off limits. Gotcha….so what’s the best things about being a
vampire?
Ben:
Well besides the ability to kill intrusive authors. *laughs* The speed is
amazing. There is nothing like moving so fast that you disappear from human
eyesight. It’s one of the few times I truly feel alive aside from when I am
with Antonia.
DC:
Cool. So Lola told me a little bit about Unbound, but since you’re actually in
it what can we expect?
Ben:
Unbound picks up immediately after Bound to Remember. Readers are in for a few
surprises and new changes but one thing that remains steadfast is my love for
Antonia.
DC:
Changes huh? Can you give me any spoilers?
Ben: No,
you will have to read to discover them. But I can tell you things aren’t always
as they appear.
DC:
Cryptic much?
Ben:
Pardon?
DC:
Nevermind *laughs* So still no thoughts on who’s going to win March Madness?
Ben:
*shakes head, laughing* You humans are incorrigible.
DC: Thanks for the insight and telling us the reads a little about yourself.
Ben: Thank you DC.
Toni will be back next week. Thanks for having me!
