It follows a fictional American blockade runner on a voyage to Jamaica, running the gauntlet pf privateers turned pirates by the peace. I'm amazed at how many of my guesses are supported by research-which means the forty-five years of seagoing were not entirely wasted.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03317057076872312926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-87840646226942705452009-05-06T20:11:00.000-04:002009-05-06T20:11:00.000-04:00Great interview, and your story sounds very intere...Great interview, and your story sounds very interesting.

I never equated vamps with sexiness or erotica. They just always scared the hell out of me! Bela Lugosi did such a great job with the role, no one following him ever came close. I guess you know he was buried in his vampire costume. <br /><br />Hi Emily,<br />Oh, yes, he's a hottie, all right!<br />I don't think you'll run into any vamps on the way to Bermuda. They prefer the Mediterranean & Black Sea. :)<br />Have a fabulous cruise. <br />Since this was my first blog guest spot, I'd like you to be my blog's first guest. We'll talk when you get back. Bon voyage!

(I guess they didn't have to be celibate in the old days.) But I did stay as close to her history as possible; she was allegedly a serial murderer and buried a few lovers. But of course in real life she wasn't a vampire, which she is in the book. :) No, I wasn't inhibited by her; I even tried to make her a sympathetic character, and I hope the reader will feel some pity for the poor old crone who wants her hot husband back, and one more simple thing--to remain immortal.<br />Hi Mari,<br />I loved McCullough's Adams book, and the TV series.<br />If you love the founding fathers, one of my favorites of late is Washington's Lady by Nancy Moser--it's told in 1st person by Martha--great blend of history & her relationship and private life with George.<br />Hi Penelope,<br />I read Peters's Curse of the Pharaos and Deeds of the Disturber, Die for Love, and The Murder of Richard III. I'm a huge Richard buff; a few of my historicals feature him.<br />MY blog is finally up and running--please stop by www.DianaRubinoAuthor.blogspot.com, leave a post about you, books, romance, anything at all!<br />Thanks again, Emily!
