Holly: Hi Jennifer! :) Would
you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Jennifer Malone: Hi! *waves* I am an author,
but first and foremost I am the mother of five children ages 16, 10, 8, 4 and
2. I’ve been married to a great man for almost 12 years now and we live in the
beautiful mountains of northern Idaho
Holly: Your life is an action/suspense
novel; your stuck on a ship and it’s about to blow. If it was just you, you
would jump overboard and get away fast, but there are a few people that were
being held captive on the ship too. What do you do?
Jennifer Malone: Oh, I would totally have to
save the people that were being held captive. I could never just leave them. I
would free them and we would have to escape together. Hopefully we could find
dingy boat that hadn’t been used yet and get away in that, if not I guess we
would have to wait in the water until the ship blew and use pieces of wood to
float on.
Holly: Can you tell us a little bit
about your book, The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter?
Jennifer Malone: Of course, The Vampire
Hunter’s Daughter is a short story series, but I have compiled all the parts
into a book and its about
72,000 words which is about the same as a full length novel. So yay! Its all in one book called “The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter: The Complete Collection.”
72,000 words which is about the same as a full length novel. So yay! Its all in one book called “The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter: The Complete Collection.”
It’s about a teenage girl
who witnesses her mother being killed by vampires. She is almost taken but is
suddenly saved by a bunch of vampire hunters. They take her to their community
where she discovers the family she has never known and her heritage, that she
is a vampire hunter as well, it’s in her bloodline which descends from angels
and demi-gods.
Holly: Which came first for you,
the characters or the plot?
Jennifer Malone: For this particular book,
The Vampire Hunter’s daughter, it was the characters. I was working on a back
story for a character in another story I was writing and that is how I came up
with Chloe. Normally though, it’s the plot that I think of first.
Holly: Are you working on anything
at the moment?
Jennifer Malone: Right now, I’m working on a
few things. I’m working on the continuation of The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter in
a series called The Arcadia Falls Chronicles. I am also working on the second
novel in The Birth of Jaiden series, as well as a couple of shorter things. So,
we should have something coming out fairly soon for you.
Holly: Are you reading anything
interesting at the moment? If so, what is it?
Jennifer Malone: I’ve just started The Black
Dagger Brotherhood. I know I should have already read this, but I’m excited to
read it because I’ve heard good things about it.
Holly: Do you think you may ever go
into another genre?
Jennifer Malone: Actually, I think about this
all the time, there are several romance stories up my sleeve, but they would
still be paranormal just now YA. I also have some childrens fairy tale type
stuff that I wanted to work on.
Holly: Do you have anything you
would like to say to your readers?
Jennifer Malone: I always like to tell my
readers, first off, thank you!! And
second, that you can always accomplish your dreams. So, don’t let anyone
tell you that you can’t do what you want to do. With hard work and determination,
it’s always possible.
Holly: Is this the first novel you
ever wrote or just the first published?
Jennifer Malone: Neither, this is the second
I’ve written and published. My first novel is called The Birth of Jaiden, it’s
a really great story about a child who is the fate of humanity. It has
vampires, angels, fallen angels, witches and so much more!

Excerpt:
I took the first book off
the stack and examined the cover. It was titled Vampires throughout History.
The cover was leather and so old it was stiff and cracked in spots. The pages
showed signs of age too, yellowing and stiff to the touch. There was no table
of contents, so it looked like I was going to have to scan the entire book for
what I was wanting. I flipped the pages carefully, so as not to tear any of
them.
After an hour of scanning
and about half way through the book, I found something referring to vampire
children.
~~~
Although extremely rare,
the natural-born offspring of vampires exist throughout the world. These rare
beings are called the dhampir. Dhampir are usually the product of a vampire and
mortal. The most common of these unions is a male vampire impregnating a mortal
woman. Vampires, both male and female, are seductive in nature and some mortals
came willingly to these unions. However, the majority of dhampir born were
produced through an act of rape.
Solitary by nature, it is
uncommon for a vampire to settle with any one mate for long. The children of
vampires, the dhampir, more often than not exhibit all the characteristics of
their vampire parent. The strength, speed and agility are the usual hereditary
traits that the children develop. They are not always born with these traits
but develop them as they grow into adulthood.
The dhampir are day
walkers. Some of these children are sensitive to the sunlight but will not
perish in the direct rays. Most have no sensitivity at all. Drinking the fresh
blood of mortals is also not usually required of the dhampir; however, some
have a liking for it. Very few actually need it to survive.
Most dhampir are rejected
by the vampire species because of their mortality and weaknesses. Mortals often
reject the dhampir, as well, due to their vampirism, so they frequently remain
outcast.
Dhampir are known for
becoming vampire killers. Their closeness to the vampires and their vampire
characteristics make them powerful vampire hunters. The unique ability to track
and kill vampires is specific to only the dhampir and the mythological race of
vampire hunters.
Historically, dhampir
became vampire hunters as a trade. Towns and villages became plagued by
vampires who were terrorizing their homes and killing their people. The dhampir
accepted contracts in exchange for monetary payment and used their likeness to
their vampire counterparts to exterminate the vampires.
~~~
Holy crap, that was a lot to
process. The more I read the passages, the more I understood that my being a
hunter was more than my heritage; it was my history and my future. Everything
about my bloodlines had hunters involved.
