Vampire: A Sensual Romance Novella is not the only romantic vampire book Captain ILL has seen come across the ILL desk. The Captain has fought several vampires in his superheroing career, and he has trouble understanding what the attraction is. Vampires are essentially walking corpses who feed on human blood, and booting one can only be described as "icky". Perhaps the whole "bad boy" image accounts for some of the fascination, but, as much as Captain ILL hates to admit it, any woman interested in a bad boy would be better served by an evil genius than a walking corpse. There don't seem to be any romance novels dealing with mad scientists though; probably the maniacal cackling is a turn-off. There is a huge ILL market for romance novels about doctors though, especially if they happen to be from Texas. If some enterprising romance author out there invented a character who was a gifted surgeon during the week, a cowboy on the weekends, but who is also secretly a vampire, they'd have a certain best-seller.

I've been trying to drum up enthusiasm for my new brilliant idea: to cash in on vampires AND those "1001 Places to See Before You Die" books, I came up with "1001 Places to See AFTER You Die", kind of a vampire tour guide.
It's like that Seinfeld episode where Costanza reinvented himself as "a bad man" and then the beautiful woman fell for him.
I'd like to think most women would draw the line at a vampire, but the number of girls and women who go for the "bad man" when there are decent alternatives out there will never cease to amaze me.
Bowlingwidow, fortunately did not fall for the tricks of the "bad men" (unless I'm one of them and I don't realize it). We have been married for 23 years on Sunday, after all.
Bowlingwidow can't believe she was smart enough at age 24 to recognize a good man when she found one.
Congratulations Bowlingjoe & Bowlingwidow on 23 years!
