Are you a sucker for tall, dark and dead?  Tips for seducing a vampire, choosing to live the vampire lifestyle or not, the ups and downs of being a blood-sucking creature of the night, and more.

Bella Swan and Sookie Stackhouse are fortunate to have vampire boyfriends. But what the heroines of Twilight and “True Blood” don’t have—and could use—is some advice on getting along with them. Everything they and every other red-blooded American girl wants to know about finding a dreamy blood-drinker and making him hers is within How to Catch and Keep a Vampire: A Step-by-Step Guide to Loving The Bad and the Beautiful.

And who better to introduce readers to the desires of the 21st century vampire than a few irresistible immortals? Let author Diana Laurence introduce them: Ethan, with his aquamarine eyes and supernaturally seductive piano playing. Gunnar, with his rich, golden hair, and dastardly but delightful knack for getting his way. The experienced and fascinating Colin, with his exquisite latté-colored skin and exotic beauty. Mordred, classically cruel, dark, and handsome, with a thing for black leather gloves. His entrancingly cute carrot-topped friend Adam, as sweet as Mordred is scary. The eccentric but gorgeous Aidan, purveyor of ancient magic. And enigmatic Conner, with his deep, dark eyes and protective soul. These undead charmers will win the hearts and minds of readers everywhere, and the advice of their new-found friend Diana will be their guide.
