His name was David Blackwell. He wasn't a Count nor a Prince, but noble "being" nonetheless. He was considered the "Vampire Saint" among a small, relatively new and unknown order of Vampires, called the Unwilling.

Inspiration for novel: |
The 80s cult vampire movies, Fright Night and The Lost Boys . After watching these over and over again as a teenager, I wanted to write my own piece of vampire fiction. One that was very different from those and other traditional tales I've seen and read. A less gory, more romantic story between vampire and mortal. |
| Fun Fact: | Emily's cat, Sir Galahad, is based on my late cat, Boomer. |
| Fun Fact: | After completing this story's outline, I felt it was too sad, too tragic to publish and I nearly abandoned it. For several months, I toyed with the idea of changing the ending, but realized it just wouldn't deliver the "punch" I had wanted. Ultimately, I decided to proceed and write Forever David's as I originally envisioned. |
| Trivia: | The current neighborhood of Hyde Park, Chicago was the location of the World's Fair of 1893. |
| Trivia: | One of the major attractions of the World's Fair was the Great Ferris Wheel. It had 21 cars that were 24 feet long, 13 feet wide, 10 feet high and could carry 38-60 passengers at a time. |
