Description:
LeKrista Scott survived three separate vampire attacks, almost drowned, and turned down her boyfriend's proposal. What else could possibly go wrong?
Apparently, if it's not one thing, it's another. Lizette, a brand new vampire with a grudge, blames LeKrista for being turned into a monster. In retaliation, she decides to go straight for the throat, so to speak, and attack LK's ailing mother at her rest home. LeKrista enlists the help of her "Vampire liason" Roman, but it could never be that easy. Not for her.
A daywalker, a born vampire who can walk in the sun, has been hired by the head of the Vampire Counsel to collect LeKrista and the debt she owes him. As payment, her great great aunt is taken. Once again, the Mages refuse to help, so what is a girl to do, but rescue her family herself?
With her back against the wall, LeKrista will rise up stronger and teach the preternatural world to fear the Vampire Hunted.
Reading the blurbs of the books is safe to presume that LeKrista is a kick ass heroine. But how is she for real? What is important for her and what did you do to make us love her?
MB's INTERVIEW
Thank you, Mrs. Tyffani Clark Kemp
First volume of the series LeKista Scott, Vampire Hunted was published in 2012 in a middle of… the vampire fever! How traditional or modern are your vampires, what differentiates them from the rest?
That's a good question. I tried to make them as traditionally vampirey as possible, but I do have some twists. For instance, I have three different types of vampires. The "originals", if we want to use that term, were cursed into what they are. All others were created from them. I call them "the bitten". Then, of course, you have the half human/half vampires, or dhampires. I also have born vampires, but they don't consider themselves really vampiric. They're better than that.
Reading the blurbs of the books is safe to presume that LeKrista is a kick ass heroine. But how is she for real? What is important for her and what did you do to make us love her?
LeKrista is so human. Lol I think that's what makes her easy to relate to. She's flawed. She jumps to conclusions. She's not perfect. As a matter of fact, she has epilepsy, which distinguishes her as the magical being that she learns that she is. She has family problems. She has a boyfriend. She doesn't just randomly fall in love with the vampire that walks into her life. That's not who she is.
You write also contemporary romance, even erotic romance, adult, new adult. How different is to write so many genre/categories? Where do you feel you have the biggest liberty to express yourself?
I think that with the paranormal, fantasy, and scifi I can create worlds and places and people that I couldn't do in the contemporary genre. That said, I put a little of myself into every heroine I write so I don't think I have much trouble expressing myself in, no matter what genre I'm writing in.
I must admit that are many series that I like even I love, but sometimes I’m looking for a standalone book, one story one book. What is your opinion about this trend of writing series instead of a single book? And what is your opinion about the novellas in a series?
I don't think that writing series is a trend. I've been reading series' since I could read. I love series', but I like a standalone too. I think it just depends on the mood of the reader. As for the novella in a series, I think that is a genious idea. I absolutely love it.
What we will find always in your books?
Real life. Lol Even if I'm writing about aliens (which I love to do, be on the lookout), I feel like they need to be relatable in some way. Otherwise, readers may not connect with the characters.
EXCERPT
Pierce laughed like he was trying to hold it in. "I promise I don't turn into any kind of bug, creepy crawly, or biting thing." He paused and his eyes flashed in that otherwordly way. "No, that's not true. I do bite."
"Pierce, I'm being serious."
"So am I. I do bite, but no bugs and no spiders. Look at me." He took my chin and forced my eyes to his. They were soft, amber orbs that smiled at me, full of love and tollerance. "You're special because I love you like I've never loved anyone ever before, and when you learn what it means for me to say that, you'll understand just how important it is that I can. You are my whole world, LeKrista Scott. You are everything to me. None of the other women in my life matter. Do you hear me? Well, except for my mother." He winked. "Gotta love mama."

Tyffani Clark Kemp has been writing since she discovered in the sixth grade that it wasn't enough just to read about fantastic places, but she could create her own. She weaves small bits of herself into everything she writes whether it be a science fiction piece about aliens or a dramatic romance fraught with conflict and love. In September 2012 Tyffani and a friend started SideStreet Publishing LLC. She lives in South Carolina with her family and her fluffy shii tzu-mix dog who thinks he's a Saint Bernard.
