Pete: Who the heck are you and why are you on my blog?
Emerian: I am Emerian Rich, horror writer, artist, and Horror Hostess of HorrorAddicts.net. I came to tell you and your readers about my new vampire book, Dusk’s Warriors.
Pete: Vampires have been done to death. What makes your book special?
Emerian: Dusk’s Warriors has the traditional kind of vampires who thirst for blood and then three other kinds. These other three vampires have different “elixirs” that grant them immortality. One is a dream vampire that feeds off the dream energy of mortals. I really enjoyed playing with the idea of an immortal elixir and how different emotions or mortal motivations could be fed upon.
Pete: They say writers are their characters. Is there any character that you identify especially?
Emerian: I guess they are all a little bit me, but two characters in particular reflect my personality at the time I first created this series. Kristine, the meek, mild, broken character was who I felt like I back then. And then there’s my hero Jespa, who I wanted to be. She’s tough, strong, and takes care of business. As I get older, I feel like I let my inner Jespa show more.
Pete: Do you have any Australian vampires?
Emerian: Funny you should ask. I have a fan who wrote me from Australia and wants me to write one. She has offered to be the voice on the audiobook. Currently, I have no Australian vampires. Mostly because the characters I have written from other cultures are based on or influenced by people I know and have spent a lot of time around. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the pleasure of knowing any Australians for a long length of time. But now we are friends that could change.
Pete: Slow it down. We aren’t friends yet, are we? What constitutes a friendship?
Emerian: Someone who doesn’t slam the door when I ask to guest blog?
Pete: You don’t have very high expectations, I guess we are friends then.
Emerian: I knew I’d win you over. 🙂
Pete: What is your response to this statement: You should be a writer who does it for the art, not the paycheck.
Emerian: True. You really do have to love it and not expect much. If you can make a living at it, that is awesome, but you can’t go into it thinking you will. After all, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Dusk’s Warriors by Emerian Rich
Heaven has opened up and welcomed the vampires of Night’s Knights into a new reality. As they struggle to find their place in their new world, trouble brews on Earth.
Demon servant, Ridge, is causing havoc by gathering up all the souls on Earth that have been touched by immortality. When he injures one of the Night’s Knights crew, he launches a war between the vampires of Heaven, the Big Bad in Hell, and a mortal street gang of vigilante misfits.
Will Julien, Markham, and Reidar be able to defeat the evil that’s returned, or will they once again need Jespa’s help?
