Let's listen to A Vampyre Rhapsody on #Thursday13 @Linda Nightingale

 About  #MFRWauthor  Linda Nightingale

I was born in South Carolina, have lived in England, Canada, Miami, Atlanta and now Houston. I’ve seen a lot of this country from the windshield of a truck pulling a horse trailer, having bred, trained and showed Andalusian horses for thirteen years.
With Cardinal Desires, a vampire paranormal to be released in 2013 by Double Dragon Publishing, I won the Georgia Romance Writers Magnolia Award. I retired from the legal field and have two wonderful sons. My passions are Andalusian and Lusitano horses, my snappy little sports car and my parlor grand piano.



          Morgan D'Arcy: A Vampyre Rhapsody
          



             Genre: Paranormal Romance 
             Publisher: The Wild Rose Press 

The greatest enemy of a vampire is boredom. Four centuries of existence have taught Lord Morgan Gabriel D'Arcy to fear nothing and no one. Humans and their weapons have little chance against his preternatural speed and arcane powers. Vampires are viral mutations of human DNA. Still, the Vampyre code requires secrecy, and he has learned to hide his nature from the world. The lure of mortality, of a life in the sun, puts Morgan again and again at the mercy of calculating human women though they fail to consider his charm and determination into the equation. However, even grooming a future bride from infancy proves to be fraught with heartbreak. And second chances are not always what they seem unless... you are Morgan. Immortality and beauty, aren’t they grand?

13 Sentences from Morgan D’Arcy: A Vampyre Rhapsody, a collection of short stories 



1     Devil’s Waltz:



a.       “At midnight, Lucien St. Albans had arrived with shocking news—there was no such thing as forever.” This sentence refers to the Vampyre’s immortality, which is now being threatened.

b.       “Beauty won battles that charm alone lost.”

c.        “At times, Amber looked as if she’d dissect me, given the chance.“

d.      “Her death washed through me on wave after wave, and I trembled in bliss.”



      Night Moves:



a.        “It was the night for a kill, and need burned in me—fever hot.”  Morgan is going hunting!

b.      “Perhaps, you’d like to try a cross?  Or a stake?”  I laughed, tossing the bullet at her.”

c.       “Beware those who walk the Battery late at night.  That stately old mansion with its face turned away from the sea, the beautiful one with a Greek portico, has dark secrets.”



      Sunrise, Sunset:

a.       You wish I'd come to your window, deep in the heart of night, and call you from your bed.” (Morgan places a romance ad and finds an unexpected result.)

b.       Boredom had caught me at the bottom of a bleak winter evening, and boredom in my hands was a time bomb that would explode.The question was merely where and when.”  

c.        ”Each of us, at some time, wishes to stand naked in passion’s temple and face deepest, darkest desire—to be an innocent victim to lust.” (Isn’t this true? Let me know your thoughts)


      Intermezzo:



a.        “Touching my piano was like fondling my mistress.”

b.      “I admire your taste in relatives, Mr. Thomas.” I extended my hand. (Morgan finds an ally in a deadly game—a pretty lawyer)

c.      “I thought my son would be born a bastard.  Now, he’ll be an aristocratic bastard like his dad.”
