Upcoming Vampfam Appearances!

I may not get out much, but when it comes to The Vampire Family, I am virtual busy bee. Here's a list of chats, loops, and guest blogs I'll
be doing this month. If you have something special going on and would like to visit with The Vampire Family, drop me a line!

Sadistic? Check. Domination? Check. Happiness? Not for all. Antonio Welshire accepts the mysterious Mestiphles' offer for vampiric power, but fails to consider that not all in his family desires evil. Daughter Victoria revels in the debauchery, but eldest daughter Samantha loathes the darkness. Enemies are in no short supply when the family turns to darkness. Charismatic rebel Gaston turns up to rival for Antonio's power; the vampire lover Jean can destroy them once and for all, and henchwoman Lilith seeks to supplant Antonio as Mestiphles' favorite. Who will be declared the victor? And in the end, though they've survived coven wars and persecutions since the 12th century, can The Vampire Family survive each other? Killing his abusive parents isn't enough for Antonio Welshire. Rape and death follow him through his youth in the 12th Century-until a stranger named Mestiphles give Antonio unimaginable vampire powers. Fearful yet captivated by his allure, Antonio's adopted sisters Ann and Elizabeth share this gift with him and their children-Victoria, James, Samantha, and Stephen. Antonio is a cruel ruler , and after his defeat of the young rebel Gaston, Antonio struggles with Lilith-another magical pet also created by Mestiphles. Antonio's vampire family grows over the centuries, each vampire loving and losing vampire fledglings over time. Wars, persecutions come adn go, but the family's troubles always stem from within. Elizabeth may be his wife, but Ann supplants her as Antonio's mistress. By the 20th century, Elizabeth has found love again-unfortunately her fledgling Jean share's Samantha's disdain for the vampire life. Will The Vampire Family self destruct before the 21st Century?

A Message From Victoria

A Final Message from Victoria Welshire, beloved daughter of The Vampire Family...

WTF is this sh*t! Yadda, yadda, you can't expect me to be posting all the time now. Just because I spent the week with Ginger Simpson that does not mean I want to be with you people all the time; day in, day out. Well, rather I should say night in or night out. I know you may want to spend all your time with me, but it's not going to happen. You'll just have to get over my darling little old self and move on with your life.

But...I do have a badge of honor for my efforts, at least. I will leave that here for you to enjoy.



If you can't take the pain of separation, stop by here and see what my webmaster Kristin is up to. Ah, yes, she insists I give you these damn links.
