Eight years ago, slayer Tuck
Houston lost two of her closest friends to a Damned vampire named Josef
Dragos—a beast who traded the sun for darkness and blood. She’s been hunting
him since the day she walked into the carnage he created. But Josef has hidden
himself well in the underground, from both slayers and other vampires.
When slayers around the globe start
disappearing in a familiar pattern—Josef’s pattern—she’s put on the hunt. And
despite the painful memories and very real threat to her future that come with
tracking him down, Tuck is certain of one thing: she is going to make Josef Dragos wish he’d never been born.

Interview
Please welcome The Damned author October Weeks to Diane’s Book Blog.
Thank you for having
me on your blog, Diane!
How long did it take you to write The Damned?
The Damned took two months to complete, then a little over six years to get
to where it is today. Originally, there were two POVs. After several rounds of
revisions and a beta read-through, I changed the book to one POV. I loved the
story too much to give up on it J
If you were stranded
on a desert island which of your characters do you want by your side?
My main character,
Tuck Houston!
Who or what inspired
you to be a writer?
I love to read, and
that love of reading led to my love of writing. Without that voracious love of
books, I don’t think I’d be a writer.
What books have most
influenced your life?
Salem’s Lot by Stephen
King led to my love of vampires and the paranormal.
I reread both at least
twice a year.
How do you overcome
writer’s block?
Writer’s block only
happens to me if I’ve steered the book in the wrong direction. The only way to
get the words to flow again are to go back to the beginning of the book and
read through until I hit the point that things went wrong.
What do you prefer
paperback, hardcover, or ebooks?
I prefer paperback.
While I don’t mind hardcover or ebooks, there’s just something about the feel
of a paperback in my hands that I love.
Do you have anything
specific that you want to say to your readers?
Thank you for giving
Tuck a chance! I’ve waited a long time for this book to be published, and I
hope you love reading it as much as I loved writing it J
