Diary of a Vampire: Michele

Violet eyes with piercing sight.
Mane of gold in pale moonlight.
Skin so hard and lily white.
Voice so soft, yet filled with might.

He comes to me in the dark of night.
Flash of teeth, smile so slight.
There is no fear, no need to fight.
In his embrace, I crave his bite.

Michele, or Shelly to those closest to her, is a typical 21 yr old, trying to find her way in life. She has a good family, a close circle of friends. She's outgoing and friendly, and a bit reckless and impulsive sometimes. And she has certain gifts...when she touches things, she can see into the past, she can feel what was felt by others, and she can sense things before they happen. Ok, so maybe she's not so typical. An impromptu trip to New Orleans, a party on Bourbon Street, and an attempted assault in a dark alley lead her into a world she didn't know existed...but one she's not afraid of. She doesn't know if the violet-eyed stranger that comes to her rescue, and follows her home, is a friend or a foe - and honestly, she doesn't care. Once you've had a taste of the darkness, it's hard to pull away...

****This book was written in the late 1990's - early 2000's, and originally published in 2004, under the title: Diary of a Vampire by S.M. Royston. It was my first book, and it wasn't long until I absolutely came to hate it! (Please, don't look it up - I promise you, it's terrible) So here we are, all these years later, and I've decided to throw out my original work, and completely re-write it. Because I'm the author, and I can do that. For the most part, the story, the characters, and the settings are the same - but the writing style is different, and in my opinion, much, much better. I hope you enjoy it. ****
