Vampire Slayer Eugene

Eugene Vampire HunterEugene here. Cooling off from my slayer workout and training with he-who-will-not-be-named-until-I-learn-his-name. I see Harris Gray hasn’t packed it in, or upgraded their web security. They have lawyered up; yesterday I received a cease-and-desist letter from LegalZoom-dot-com. I guess this is the part where we stick our hands in each other’s pockets. They should know better than to raise the stakes against a vampire slayer, if you get my meaning.

Your e-mails have been flooding in, a sure sign that the vamp problem is only getting worse. And that you haven’t been reading Dear Abby. This next question is from a lady in Bismarck, ND.

Subject: Vermin, and stale love

Dear Eugene,

I really hope you rid the world of the vermin that have become an extreme nuisance on this planet. I have been following you for quite some time & find your tactics and your advice very helpful.
The issue I have is with my fiancé Walt. We have been together for 7 years now. The last three we have been engaged. We have no real plan on when we are to be married. When he first proposed, he had all these grandiose plans on where, when & how we would be married. But it has been three long engaged years. Walt keeps telling me it’s not time yet, that he wants our finances & our circumstances to be just right. Also, he never takes me out, his idea of a romantic evening is ordering in Dominoes pizza and playing HALO on-line. Never tells me he loves me. He stays out all night with his buddies. What should I do? I am at wits end!! I love him so much, but I feel like we are in a permanent holding pattern.

Your servant and admirer,

Jean

Jean,

Walt is playing you like a 3 dollar fiddle. He knows he can keep you around. Dangle the idea of getting married and keep you around even longer. Confront him, talk to him in very plain terms. “Walt, you know I love you & I know you love me, but we need to make a plan, a date to get married. If we wait for the perfect time, we will never be married.” I am sure that when Walt understands that you are not waiting for the perfect time, moment or finances; That you love him & want to be married; He will come to his senses and make a date, soon. As for the Dominos and the HALO. You are way off base, way off. Did you also mention that he stays out all night? He’s probably a vamp. Since you love him, a stake through the heart is the most painless death. But truly. Kill him, kill him now.

Yours,

Eugene > The Vampire Slayer <

p.s. You mentioned you have been following me for quite some time. Stop.

Got a problem with a vamp? Or your love life, finances, politicians, the undead, etc.? Email me, those that provide teaching moments will be answered here, whether the vamps’ stooges Harris Gray like it or not.

Vampire Slayer Eugene

Eugene Vampire Hunter So I guess by now you all know who I am. Eugene the vampire slayer. Ever since the vamps’ lackeys Harris Gray outed me as one of the most amazing slayers in the world, my life has not been the same. You people out there have inundated me with tons of questions. Phone calls, e-mails, texts, Skype, smoke signals, running me off the road. I can’t get any peace. So, I have given in and opened myself up to your questions about the undead, vamps, zombies, the world of finance, relationships. Whatever your query. I will answer. Like the e mail below from a dude in Boise, Idaho. I will not divulge his name. He lives on 8th & Vine.

From:Sent: Tues February 26, 3:38 p.m.To: Eugene TVS [EugeneTVS1@gmail.com]

Subject: Crazy dog lady, & my vampire neighbor

Eugene,

First, I must tell you what a big fan I am of you and your exploits. I am a big, big fan. I have an issue I would like to share & get some advice from you on how to handle it.

I live near a dog park. Let it be known that I like dogs, I have no problem with dogs. I don’t have one myself, but I think a responsible dog owner is welcome in my neighborhood. My issue is that a lot of people with dogs have to pass in front of my house in order to get to the said Dog Park. Most of the people who walk by are keeping to themselves, and are respectful, most. Although, there is one lady who makes it a point to have her dog defecate in my yard whenever she passes by my place. I have placed signs in my yard. KEEP OUT….NO POOPING ZONE. This has not helped. What should I do? Also, I think my neighbor across the street is a vampire. He never comes out until night & is always staring at my neck.

Thanks, and I appreciate the work you do,

S&ev* Jo%es

Well, Mr. ^on$s,

Not exactly my best question, but I have the answers you seek. First, dogs are great to have around. They always know when a Vamp or Vampire-like creature is sulking about. Second, when things get tough and they will. I mean really tough, they are a great source of sustenance. Myself, I have no need or want for mangy mutts. For some reason dogs have never took to me. But I digress.

I would take a direct approach, never assume that the lady is being malicious. Maybe she is just oblivious. A lot of well meaning people don’t have self awareness. It’s a gift that few people have. I have it in spades, but you would be surprised by the amount of clueless, dumb-ass people there are out there. I would meet her at the edge of your yard, but stay in your yard. I can’t stress this enough. Always stay in your yard. Ask her kindly, gently. “Ma’am, I have noticed that your dog makes in my yard. Could you have your dog refrain from making in my yard?” I am sure she will see the error of her ways & have her dog do its business at the park. If not, lodge a complaint with your Covenant Controlled Community. No one wants a covenant violation. As for your neighbor across the street. Take no chances, kill him. Kill him now.

Thanks for the questions, yours,

Eugene > The Vampire Slayer <

Email me your questions, and I’ll reply on this website; the vamp Victor Thetherson isn’t the only one who can stick his hand up inside and make Harris Gray’s lips move.

Vampire Vic

Birthing the Vampire

And so it began….

Harris Gray finished their third pint and mulled over their next writing project, simultaneously deciding on a vampire book. Because the women in their lives eat up every vampire story on the shelves. And for the gratuitous T&A. But hunky, smoldering vampires were beyond their grasp; and dammit, T&A should mean something. Deciding to write what they know, Harris Gray returned to their wheelhouse: An aging, uncomfortable man, not so happy with his lot in life. A man bitten by a vampire, unsure what to do with his new…skillset. Vampire Vic – VV – was born. Perfect.

And now it’s time to party with the vampire. Vampire Vic hits Amazon.com today! Enter the Vampire Vic Party Room hosted by Harris Gray. Giveaways (including a Kindle Paperwhite)! Party favors – you know, free downloads, including an original song created for Vampire Vic by DJs Farallon and Emn8! And a world-premiere vlog from Harris Gray, who should stay away from the camera and stick to writing, but won’t.

The Party Room (click image to enter) will be open through March 31st!

cover reveal

Harris Gray hopes you’re hungry. VV is. Here’s the cover, a taste of what’s to come. Vampire Vic will be unleashed Friday March 8th, in e-book and in print, followed by a big bash blowout at Crowfoot Valley Coffee & Crowbar in Castle Rock, Colorado on Saturday March 9th. And with a sweet contest giveaway for our online launch party which begins March 8th!

Vampire Vic by Harris Gray — Release Date: March 8, 2013 / CreateSpace

Vampire Vic by Harris Gray

Would you give up donuts…for blood?

Fat, balding accountant Victor Thetherson hoped becoming a vampire would turn his life around. But Victor can’t stomach confrontation and gets queasy at the sight of blood. Instead he gets it from the blood bank, diluted in bloody Bloody Marys. The result: a vampire who doesn’t bite, and a man who gets no respect.

Victor’s slacking staff mockingly calls him Vampire Vic. Victor’s boss amuses his wife by intimidating Victor on video. His ex makes him stay out late while she entertains boyfriends in the house she insists they continue to share. One night it finally boils over, and Victor bites someone. And then another…and very soon, he’s no longer visiting the blood bank.

Muscle replaces fat, and his comb-forward widow’s peak takes root. Victor basks in newfound attention and respect, at the office and at home. But real vampires get hunted, and as the transformation reaches the tipping point, Victor must decide how much he’s willing to sacrifice for the power of the vampire.

Add Vampire Vic to your Goodreads TBR!
