Ashville N.C. Author Susan Blexrud Puts a New Bite in the Word Vampire

Susan Blexrud Pens Romance Novel with Orlando Setting

Asheville, NC…November 13, 2008…Susan Blexrud, former director of communications for the City of Orlando, has reinvented herself in Asheville, North Carolina.  Her first book, Love Fang, the humorous tale of a sexy vampire with an infected fang who falls in love with his dentist, was released by DCL Publishing today.

“The mountains in Asheville are inspiring,” said Blexrud.  “Add to that the support of a community of creative people, a top-notch library system, and terrific independent booksellers, and it’s a writer’s paradise.”

Raised and schooled in Orlando/Winter Park, Blexrud used her long-time home as the backdrop for her novel.  Familiar scenes, such as Winter Park’s Park Avenue, crop up frequently, and our inimitable vampire’s Victorian home was inspired by the Comstock residence on Bonita Drive in Winter Park.  

“Having my vampire assist Central Florida police departments was especially fun, and I envisioned my dentist’s office on Morse Boulevard in Winter Park as the location where my vampire first meets his love interest, Dr. Lauren Marsh,” Blexrud said.

Love Fang is the first in a series of three novels.  The second, Fang Shui, presents challenges as the Italian mob and an evil vampire threaten to thwart the good deeds of our Orlando “Vampire Vigilantes” (an Orlando Sentinel-provided moniker).

Love Fang is available online through DCL Publishing, www.thedarkcastlelords.com.
