"I first had the idea for this book back in the summer of 2004. I wanted to write a "realistic" story about a vampire as he might live today in the 21st century, while possessing a very unique and tangible backstory. The title is pronounced vawm-peer, the old world European way to say it. The 2000 is not a year, it represents the 21st century. And that was the idea, something old and traditional meets something new and contemporary, here and now. It is a brief look into a vampire's life, this story is modern, realistic, set in a major American metropolis, there are no bats or clouds of mist, the vampire has a unique origin, the bad guy is bad and people die. Early on, the original title of the book was "You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You" and that was the initial premise of how vampires would blend in and "live" amongst us unknowingly everyday. In the short time that the story follows Cornelius, the main character, we see his transformation from a lonely killer into a creature that once again appreciates life. This long awaited journey is forced upon him by the re-emergence of his nemesis of over one hundred and forty years, also his very serendipitous meeting of the woman who would change his life. VAMPYRE 2000: Life to the Lifeless isn't a story about young, model type vampires that walk in the daylight and experience soap opera lives. This story is about something completely different. I have been telling people that this is a new vampire story, but actually it isn't. It's more of a return to the characteristics that we imagine when we think about vampires. Within this story is drama, action, suspense and romance, I very much enjoyed getting it out of my head and onto the paper. I honestly believe that this is a very good story. One that is well thought out and well written. I also think you will enjoy it."
