Alec Murray, the Scottish vampire with a kiss to die for

Alec Murray, from Dracula's Kiss, is at my blog today...with a kiss to die for! So pucker up!

Dracula's Kiss Recipe:

1. Coat the bottom of a glass with grenadine.
2. Add ice and the black cherry vodka
3. Fill with cola
4. Garnish with maraschino cherries.

And here is the man himself, well, the man who inspired Alec Murray--it always amazes me how talented folks are in youtube with their music video editing skills. This is one of my favorite tributes to Stuart Townsend's Lestat.

I mean, what would your reaction be if you came across this man during a ball held in castle ruins connected to Bram Stoker's Dracula?

Oh, and he's dressed as Dracula. I guess he might look something like this but with a top hat and those funky-cool glasses.

Would you cease the opportunity? Cathela, the female lead in Dracula's Kiss, is suitably hesitant considering she's already involved. But how long can one resist his beauty? What finally sends her over the edge? What would it take for you to sweep back your hair and invite a Dracula's Kiss, or two?

--------------------------

This is the deleted scene that inspired the whole story of Dracula's Kiss, and the reason why Lestat played a huge roll in creating Alec Murray. QOFTD is a favorite movie of mine. Not for it's plot, yes I get that it's full of holes and the ending made no sense, but the whole 'feel' of the movie, the atmosphere from music and clothes to the cinematography and goth essence throughout. It's one of those movies that invokes all that I love about vampires. It's a shame they deleted this extending flying sequence, because it adds that little bit of extra connection between Lestat and Jessie, and might have made that ending seem less redonkulas.

Dracula's Kiss

Dracula's Kiss, a 1NightStand book set in Cruden Bay, and Slains Castle (ruins with actual connections to Bram Stoker's Dracula) Scotland, is OUT NOW!

Blurb:

Cathela's Office Halloween Ball is a complete bust. She spills out her Dracula's Bride costume, and her vamp fetish chases away her boyfriend. Only redeeming feature to the night? Necking multiple shots of Dracula's Kiss—a lush Black Cherry Vodka cocktail—and an interlude with a gorgeous man dressed Gary Oldman style.

No one comes close to satisfying Alec Murray's needs until he meets Cathela during some lame-ass party for bankers. One taste of her blood, sweet yet darkly dangerous, he knows she's perfect for him.

A night of goth bondage is planned for one. For the other, a night of sexual control is a must. A perfect fit. Alec is compelled to reveal his true nature, but can their relationship survive his dark secret?

Shaun Bell has stopped by...come drool, erm, I mean say hello!

It's been long since known that my inspiration for Shaun Bell in Sweet Irish Kiss came directly from the gorgeous Farrell, that sexy irishman who has dark eyes to die for, to get lost in, to give you that perfect come-to-bed wink. *sigh*

But Colin Farrell is also responsible for the absolute cheeky and crass Devlin McKinney, Shaun's bessie mate and full time bar-tender in Sweet Irish Kiss. Devlin's story is actually sitting on my computer, waiting for many rounds of edits and then it's fingers crossed that my editor still loves him as much as she did in Sweet Irish Kiss :)
Meantime, I thought I'd take my hat of to the man responsible for my Irish pub tales...so let's hear it for Colin Farrell.

And if you haven't brought Sweet Irish Kiss yet, an ARe and BookStrand bestseller, well, Shaun is impatiently tapping his foot, waiting to jump into your eReader to give you one of his infamous Sweet Irish Kisses.

BLURB... Shaun Bell, a divorced workaholic, spends all his time tending bar in his Irish Pub. He's ready to love again, but the women who visit his bar are only after his infamous Irish cocktails. At the advice of his darts team over a tanker or two of Beamish, he applies to 1Night Stand to get back into the swing of things and enjoy the company of a woman specially selected for him by Madame Evangeline.

Rachel Taylor has issues. Her father broke her mother’s heart with his cheating and Rachel swore never to let that happen to her, but one ruined relationship after another and she’s realized she's got to get over being closed off to men. Perhaps a one-night stand is just the baby step she needs to begin to build trust again.

A match seemingly made in heaven...until morning rolls around and Shaun can't bring himself to say good-bye. Can he win her over with his secret weapon, a Sweet Irish Kiss, or is Rachel still too scared to love?
