BBB: What inspired me you to write Vampire World?
RD: I have always wanted to write a good YA novel, especially since they are so popular these days with readers of all ages. I was questioned why I would spend the time and effort to write a novel on what some said was a washed up genre: vampires. However, I didn’t believe it was washed up, as there are many readers that still would love to read about these fascinating creatures of the un-dead. I felt it just needed a new twist: a new world completely controlled, populated and ruled by vampires. Now I’ve got your attention?

RD: Janice FreeCut lives in Vampire World. She can’t remember anything about her past because she was involved in an accident. All she knows is that her parents were killed and she survived, but has lost her memory.
She feels like she has lived somewhere else many years ago, though but can’t recall where. One thing is for sure though, she loves drinking blood!
