It details their lives, loves, views feelings and some hilarious confusing adventures as she the author views them, or as they tell her.The story follows the development of various romances and as with all the best stories it has a happy, but for some characters, a very surprising end! following the lives of the women and their empowering into relationships both successful and not . a true romance with elements of the chick lit style and based on true stories regaled to the author directly over a number of years, by real women who have lived the experiences.

Vampires exist amongst the human population. They have not existed for three hundred years as depicted in stories and legends. They have lived secretly amongst humanity, constantly feeding off them, using them as a food source for thousands of years.They are not an anomaly born of Vlad the Impaler, nor are they the progeny of Count Dracula, but an alternative creation brought into existence by nature as mankind also flourished. They filled a gap in the development of intelligent life on the planet, a divergent pathway from the evolution of mankind.They cannot change humans to vampire by their bite that is a fallacy created by the minds of writers attempting to describe a story. They progress their nation by breeding much as their food source breeds, using those rare genetically matched few that are suitable as hosts.The older they become the more powerful they are. The elders, the six original surviving creatures have roamed the world for eons untold, and as such are near perfect in their abilities, and evil beyond contemplation in their desires.Sunlight is no barrier to the older vampires; it has little effect and does not kill them. The cross of God means nothing to them as most consider themselves almost Gods in their own right. Silver does kill them turning their bodies to burnt cinder; the story tellers got that right.Why this story exists: In the seventeen hundreds, four of twenty new vampires fought against their natural tendency. As they aged and developed passing through the centuries growing stronger they learned and developed both in abilities and disgust at how their race had degenerated. They rebelled and so were born the first aid to mankind, creatures from a dark past brought into the light. The age of the vampiric protector was born.Death followed until of the four there was only one. He decreed that the race as it was should end, but that entailed the destruction of the Elders, that the progenitors of the race, the oldest of them all should be consigned to history.They decreed that he should join his rebellious comrades and so the battle for the lives and souls of all commenced. The hunts were instigated. The end of the human rule was instigated as the war between races moved forward from the shadows, into the light.

A Brief Introduction To The Story Thus Far.Three of the six vampire Elders, the self-appointed vampire gods, have been killed by the renegade known as Four, and those who accompanied him. The cavern of the late Count Dracula was invaded. The Elders found there were killed.The hunt is now on for the remaining Elders. The vampire war has been slowed, but not halted. The risk of humanity losing has been reduced slightly by the renegades actions.The group of four vampires, fighting for the freedom of the world, are preparing to exit the cavern and continue the hunt. The world is moving forward. The days slowly passing as the fear level reaches its highest threat to humanity and also to the vampire nation.The world, as both races knew it previously, is changing.To whose benefit is currently unknown.

This is the life story of a geek from a small town, who accidentally discovers, he believes, that by holding his nose tightly, screwing up his eyes into tiny slits and blowing trapped air against his tightly closed nose, he can if he gets it just right, merge and blur the universe around him, just enough to be able to slip from one plane of existence into another.He then discovers that the further he moves away from his start existence, the more time has split and different pathways have opened up within society.Little does he realize that he has discovered nothing, that he is being sought and maneuvered by an alien She, to another place, there to become the saviour of a different world called Earth.This is the story of his adventures, and the enlightening road down which his life meanders. This is the story of a dedicated Trainspotter who battles a despicable malignant horror that threatens all life and how he becomes an unknown hero to millions, whilst learning a thing or two about himself along the way.
