More Changes in the Dream - Jan. 17, 2025

 Ophelia Kee Speaks More Changes in the Dream - Jan. 17, 2025 Dear Reader, The first week back at the day job after two weeks of vacation was draining. I have gotten little accomplished on the writing front, but behind the scenes, stuff is happening. I believe it is the way of Januaries. Clean up the files, update the blog sites, update the website, and reorganize for the year to come. I also dealt with far too many issues with YouTube.

  The Thirst, a term used by vampires to describe their need to ingest blood to keep their immortal existence. Some feed on animals, others on humans, and still others feed on their own kind and other immortals. -Excerpt from A Treatise on the Vampire's Nature, Duncan O' Sullivan Vampires: Villains, Heroes, and Bloodlust  Essays from Draoithe Vampires have long enthralled audiences with their dark allure and insatiable appetite for blood, and represent a complex mixture of seduction, danger, and moral ambiguity. The Draoithe Saga often portrays vampires as unlikely heroes, antiheroes, and tragic victims. As dark urban fantasy and steamy paranormal romances, the stories set in the dream usually offer sexy vampires as main characters who find love and ultimately join the fight to balance the magic of the dream and preserve their eternal existence.
