Blog tour, Vampire Vic

Vampire Vic, Blog tourSo this is what the rock’n’roll lifestyle feels like. Harris Gray has been partying non-stop, at home, since May 6th. We’ve got it up, and we’re going to keep it up (full credit for that rockin’ line to fellow hardcore tourers, Loverboy), at least until July 26. You want to party (at your home) with us (while we stay at our home)? Let’s do this thing.

It’s called a blog tour, which is just rock’n’roll by a different name. Our tour organizer and virtual bus driver, Tracee Gleichner at Pump Up Your Book, has booked gigs for us with various book bloggers and online mags. You’ll see us interviewed, excerpted, spotlighted, featured and revealed – basically everything short of exposed.

You know what’s extra-ultra-super-sweet about a blog tour? You can finally be that rock’n’roll groupie, in the comfort and safety of your home. Just point, swig and click. Perhaps you own a power phone or e-pad? Then you can even leave the house, touring with us while waiting in queue to pick up the kids from school or dipping your biscotti at the local coffeeshop. Hair metal, grunge or pop rockers, think of us as you like, just jump on our e-bandwagon and join the tour.

Or, maybe you’re the type who doesn’t care to rock, but would like to win a Kindle. Then this is also the tour for you.

Vampire Slayer Eugene

Eugene Vampire SlayerAs you can imagine I’ve been up to my eyeballs after all hell broke loose on the Extreme Makeover set. Who were the marketing geniuses who thought a “Re-Vamp” show would be harmless good fun? Maybe it was a wake-up call, to bump the vamps off the entertainment section and back to the obits where they belong.

Speaking of which, I hear Harris Gray took the hint and moved on to writing about something they know. Or at least, not about vamps. I’m still going to use their site to answer your questions, while I haggle with GoDaddy for my own domain. This one’s from a nice young couple in the wrong line of work.

Eugene,

My girlfriend & I are taking a cross-country trip. We are part-time ghost hunters hoping to make it “full time” soon. We are traveling from Iowa to California. We can’t wait to hit the haunted Queen Anne Hotel in Frisco, the Hearst Castle, & Disneyland out west. Is there anywhere else you can recommend? We would like to stop by some other places on the way there to do some Ghost Hunting, like the Stanley Hotel in Colorado. We have about three weeks total on our vacation. Any other places we should go on the way to Cali? We are so excited. Also, I am going to propose to my girlfriend at the Winchester Mansion. Talk about a -shotgun- wedding…ha ha ha.

Regards, big fans,

Tim Gravel [last name deleted to protect privacy]

Timmy,

Sounds nice. Have you thought about taking the train? You should really take the California Zephyr. There is a great little train station in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. It will take you all the way out to San Francisco. Really a quality, relaxing ride. Super romantic. Your girlfriend will really appreciate the time together & you can truly decide if marriage is right for you. The San Diego Zoo & Sea World are both a MUST see. Stop by Manresa restaurant in Los Gatos just outside San Francisco. Amazing food & atmosphere. It is such a beautiful restaurant & a great place to propose, should you decide she is Ms. Right.

A word to the wise. Don’t call California “Cali”, the locals hate that, almost as much as they despise using “Frisco” instead on San Francisco. Don’t do that, you look like a stooge. Good luck out there & have a splendid trip.

All my best,

Eugene, VS

P.S. Ghost Hunting is for chumps. Don’t get sucked into the hype. Total sham. Except for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. Something not right about those puppets.

Vamps are everywhere, but I can’t be, so email me, I have the answers, like WebMD for everything WebMD doesn’t cover, and some that it does. For instance did you know that vamp saliva is not gluten free? One more reason to hate them.

Vampire Vic Free for Kindle!

Kindle Freebie, Vampire Vic

Vampire Vic by Harris GrayFree VV, Free VV! That’s the cry on the street, the virtual street, the two-lane info highway connecting the cortex of Harris Gray. We know Tibet and Mumia have dibs, but we just can’t wait any longer. In Vampire Vic, “free VV” would refer to releasing Vic’s inner vampire. But right now we’re talking money, Vampire Vic free for Kindle, today (April 30) through Thursday (May 2). And then $0.99 through Sunday May 12. Woe to you who have already paid bigger, better money for VV, your timing was terrible, but we love you for it.

Review VV, Review VV! That is Harris Gray you hear, crying for reviews of Vampire Vic on Amazon. It would mean the world to Harris Gray. We couldn’t love you any more than we already do, just more intensely.

Vampire Slayer Eugene

Eugene Vampire Hunter

Eugene the Vampire Slayer here, digging into the mailbag while my garlic mud mask dries. I get lots of compliments on the garlic exuding from my pores, but that’s like a leaky radiator, this should plug those holes.

Meanwhile Gus from Detroit, Michigan has quite a quandary.

Mr. Slayer,

You have quite the reputation, I really think I have a job / problem right up your alley. As you know, the outskirts of Detroit are over-run with the un dead. Vampires seem to be everywhere. They are unchecked and killing with reckless abandon. With all the foreclosures & abandoned homes, they have free reign. I have lost countless friends & several family members. Can you help? I need a Slayer out here immediately. Please help.

Your faithful servant,

Gus

Gus,

I feel your pain. With all the foreclosures & abandoned homes our country is a mess. It takes a monstrous effort from all of us to make it better. Good thing is that with the interest rates so low & Fannie Mae willing to work with you, buying & flipping those homes is a great option. I happen to co-own a consulting firm that can help walk you through the process. 1.800.overran. Or slayerinvestments.com. It really is easy, & super practical. With the market the way it is, this country is ripe for these kind of solutions. It’s up to us to get the country back on its financial feet.

Good luck,

Eugene > The Vampire Slayer <

Don’t fall prey, email me on your predator problems, I’ve got the right stake for the job.

DJ Emn8, DJ Farallon

Team VVThe Vampire Vic party room has closed, but the party isn’t over. For one thing we will be contacting the winners of the book launch giveaway, very soon. For another, the original song Drinkin’ Blood Ain’t Easy by the DJs Farallon and Emn8 is still playing in our heads, and so we want that tune in your noggin too, as you picture Vic looking like Johnny Cash on top of the world and behind the wheel of his ’59 Eldorado, top down and cruising the Pacific Coast Highway. That’s what this tune is all about, Victor Thetherson feeling his oats as the vampirism transforms him. Vic lives in Houston, so you’ll have to pretend the smoke belching from the refineries is fog cloaking the California cliffs, which should be easy if you are actually able to pretend Victor in black cords and maroon windbreaker bobbing his head to Bananarama behind the wheel of his Subaru wagon is Johnny Cash.

Check out the Harris Gray video too, just not while the music is playing – the two go together nicely, but not directly.
