    Knights Vampire
    by Kryssie Fortune 
    The bucket list interview allows a hero or heroine to tell readers
    about himself or herself. Today’s list is from Harriet Mortlake.
    Age: 22
    Gender: Female
    Birthplace: Leeds
    Profession: Archivist
    Welcome to Romance Lives
    Forever. Your author introduced you. Now we’d like to get to know you better. Please
    tell us about yourself.
    I’m nothing much really. I’m tall, almost six foot, and sadly
    about ten pounds overweight. I don’t think there isn’t a diet I haven’t tried, or
    failed to stick to.
    I’ve got a bit of a temper too. My dad used to hit mum, and I’ve
    inherited my temper from him, I was twelve years old when I found him beating on
    her in the kitchen. I was so angry that I hit him on the head with a frying pan
    and dragged my mother off to a shelter. Mom’s convinced I saved her life that night,
    but I’ve never lost my temper like that since. I daren’t. It scared me.
    I have a first class degree in library studies. I was lucky to
    land this job at Whitborough Castle straight from university. If the last two archivists
    hadn’t vanished, and I could have shaken the “someone’s watching me” thing,
    it would have been my dream job.
    When someone dies, we
    say they “kicked the bucket.” Therefore, a list of things that a person
    wants to accomplish, places to go, situations to experience, and so on have become
    known as a “Bucket List.” We’d like to know yours, please. If you haven’t
    made one before, perhaps now would be a good time. Who knows? It might inspire another
    book. While you’re at it, how about telling us about some of your other favorite
    things? Here are the questions.
    What are two places you
    would like to visit before you die, and why?
    I want to sail up the Amazon and see pink dolphins. They sound
    amazing. Maybe that could my honeymoon trip.
    I’d like to visit Jerusalem too and follow in the steps of the
    crusaders. There’s something romantic about the Knights Templar or the Knights Hospitaller.
    My personal favorites are the Knights Defender though.
    Where is a place you would
    never like to return, and why?
    The hidden dungeon beneath Whitborough Castle. I can smell the
    stale urine and feces just thinking about it.
    I didn’t much like university life. I was too geeky to fit in.
    Shall I tell you a secret? I got angry when my one and only boyfriend told me I
    was frigid. I tossed his clothes out the window and shoved out into the dorm’s corridor
    stark naked.
    I suppose the worst place ever was my childhood home. Dad was
    a bully who liked to make me cry.
    Who is someone you would
    like to meet, and why?
    Can you imagine a real live knight defender let loose in the
    21st century. I don’t mean some geeky re-enactor. Imagine a genuine knight with
    the muscles to swing a broadsword and the courtly grace of Queen Eleanor’s courts.
    Wouldn’t that be something?
    Oh, did you mean someone real? I’m actually a bit of dreamer,
    but maybe Julian Richards. Never heard of him? I’m geeky, but he’s the archeologist
    come media presenter who did an in depth study of Stonehenge. Mum bought me his
    popup book of Stonehenge before she died as a spoof gift, but it’s one of my most
    treasured possessions.
    Who is someone you would
    like to avoid, and why?
    Real or fantasy? I wouldn’t care to meet Blaxton’s wicked cousin
    Rolf again. He’s got a vicious streak a mile wide. He wanted to create his own vampire
    army and take over the world. Human life means nothing to him.
    If you could time travel
    to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?
    I’d love to go back to the 1180’s when Peter de Ferrers built
    Whitborough Castle. He had three sons back then, and I’d love to meet all of them
    before Cousin Rolf murdered them.
    What is your birth order?
    I’m not sure I understand the question. I almost answered Sagittarius
    then it struck me you were asking about my family. I’m an only child, an orphan
    now, and I still miss my mum.
    I was born fully human. Obviously I’m different now.
    Tell us about your favorite
    toy as a child.
    I had this teddy but my dad through it out in a fit of temper.
    I never really got attached to anything else. It hurt too much. I was the kid who
    lived in the library and read every book they possessed.
    Describe your favorite
    food and how it’s prepared.
    Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. A rare steak with a
    mountain of freshly fried chips, fried onion rings and side salad sounds good too.
    Tell us about your best
    friend.
    Blaxton de Ferrers. He’s my everything. We talk for hours and
    never get bored. He was alone for centuries, but we’ve just discovered he has friends
    in Zurich. I just love to see him smile. Oh, did I say he’s a billionaire property
    developer with a philanthropic streak and a former Knight Defender?

    About the Author

    I could read before I could walk – or so my mother says. I definitely
    loved books, but at that stage I probably liked to look at the pictures. I do remember
    a lovely old-fashioned library with parquet floors and filing cabinets with a card
    index. I really loved that place.
    Jump forward to my adult years. Two children and happy marriage
    later, my heart valve collapsed. After a terrible prognosis and an amazing surgeon,
    I’m strong and tough again. However, it was time I reached for my dream and started
    to write that book I’d been going on about.
    Fortunately Loose ID liked it. I’m grateful for their support.
    Knights Vampire is my fifth book, and I’m really proud of it.
