I am the author of THE ABSENCE OF DEATH...a sweet little contemporary novel of death, vampire violence and seduction in a small town. It is being completed and I hope it will be appearing soon in a bookstore near you. I would love to meet anyone interested in my book, in writing or in vampires in general. I have posted some excerpts from the book in my blog and will be posting more from time to time. My thanks to all who take the time to read them and comment. All are welcome and appreciated. ******************************************************** Yes, this is Rick and this is the return of my former page, THE ABSENCE OF DEATH: A MODERN VAMPIRE NOVEL. Many people will, at least I hope, remember my former page. I was forced to delete it because of MYSPACE drama and foolishness, some of it my own doing. I lost focus back then, drifted from the original purpose of the page, which was..and is..to promote my writing and my (hopefully) soon-to-be-finished-and-published novel. I had so many friends here, including a group of loyal people who read and commented on all my blogs and postings. I hope to find...or be found by...most of you/them again. I have saved many of my blogs from before and will be adding them here gradually, as time and health allow. In the interest of honesty and full disclosure, I am fighting an illness right now and will not be here every single day, at least I don't think so and at least not for a while. I won't bore you with details. That is my problem, just as it is with any others facing such challenges. I only mention it as a pre-emptive explanation for any who would send angry letters saying, "you don't comment every day".I will post and leave comments as I can, maybe once or twice a week. So if that bothers you, well, you know what to do. ********************************************************* I am here to promote my book and writings, not for drama or MYSPACE nonsense..not this time. I will reply to personal comments about my writing and postings, of course, because that is, after all, why I am here. All are welcome and I hope you will read and enjoy my work. Some I especially hope will return here. And a few will NEVER be allowed here. You know who you are, I know how you are so don't even bother. Hopefully, you will have the decency not to embarrass either yourself or me. ******************************************************** So here I am one more time. Still finishing my lovely little tale of vampirism and mayhem in a small town somewhere in America. But then all good things take time, don't they? I hope you will join me here, read my work and comment. I thrive on the feedback and have really missed it. On a personal note, this page will always honor the memory of my friend, BLOODBATH. I wish I could add your page, sweet Misty, but that is impossible. I am sorry my leaving caused me to lose your page, but though you are gone, you are not forgotten.

Perhaps the rain that falls on me will wash away my sins Showing where the darkness ends and where the light begins Or maybe some sins can't be cleansed and are what they must be Threads in a larger tapestry that few are meant to see The hunger burning in me now has never been this strong I leave it to the world outside to call it right or wrong As every thing that walks the earth, I do what I must do The trail of blood and tears I've walked has led me here to you So give yourself to me this night, there is no need to fear Make mine the only touch you crave, my voice all that you hear Forget the stories you've been told of things beneath your bed Rest in my arms and bare your flesh, free yourself instead Time blurs the lines once so defined that divide wrong from right There is no life, there is no death...we own them both this night Some things are written in the blood and always meant to be So cast away your childhood fears and take your place with me. I am life..I am death..I am pleasure..I am pain..I am eternity. I am Vampire!****************************************************************************************
