The Scene (Dylan Hart #1)
Irreverent twenty-something, Dylan Hart, has her little black heart set to cash-in on the blood-drained bodies of seven prostitutes scattered throughout southern California.
In search of the culprit of the media-dubbed Vampire Massacres, journalist Dylan Hart dives head first into L.A.’s sanguinary ‘vampire’ subculture, in an attempt to write her first best-selling novel and pay off her ever growing student debt.
Dylan drinks whiskey, smokes like a chimney, and possesses a mouth she wouldn’t kiss her mama with and with the aid of her statuesque hetero-life-mate Tatum Price, Dylan takes the case head-on, slicing her way through the absurd, the ethereal and the deadly serious, of the underground ‘vampire’ community. But lies and skepticism keep Dylan from the facts hidden within fiction and the danger lurking right under her nose. It’s all shits and giggles until a dead body pops up at your back door.

Unicorns with fangs
The unicorn is one of the most fabled mythological
creatures. Beautiful, stunning masterpiece of nature. Or what would be nature
if unicorns weren’t a work of fiction. The epitome of innocence according to Legend. Images of free, running horses
adorned with a single horn is the classic media version of the mythical
unicorn. The classic white mane flowing the wind, whipping around a shimmering
gold-hued single horn atop the head of a regal stallion. What if unicorns had
fangs?
There are many different types of fangs in the word – real
and fictional – but for posterity sake we’ll cover the three we are all most
familiar with. Predatory fangs, like those of lions and tigers and bears. The
type that tear flesh and spill viscera from its prey. Serpent style fangs –
snakes. No other explanation here. And finally vampiric fangs. The classic,
non-retractable version. Not the click-ity-click True Blood type.
Predatory variety – such as canines and felines. Carnivores.
Unicorns as carnivores – quite the terrifying thought. Especially if unicorns
mastered the art of closing their mouth around their fangs so as to not be
seen. Many a maiden would have likely been eaten on the spot should that be the
case. And what of the horn? The single aspect that ascends a horse into the
fairy tale realm of unicorn-dom. A weapon of mass destruction? A smart unicorn
could spear small to medium sized prey and utilize the horn as a skewer perfect
for roasting over an open fire.
Serpent variety – venomous? If unicorns possessed not only a
sweet horn and long flowing locks, but also a set a retractable fangs capable
of injecting flesh eating (Unicorns would have bad ass toxins, duh) venom into
its prey, the world as we know it would implode upon itself and the universe
would become a sea of seedless fruit. Don’t ask, it just would. So, let’s just
assume that snake-like unicorn fangs are non-venomous. No slithering, no
scales, just a fancy white horse with a horn and some fangs. Not so bad right?
Wanna find out?
Vampire variety. Let us assume for a moment that unicorns
are also vampires. As if this amazing creature wasn’t bad ass enough – let’s
add fangs and eternal life. Is your head
exploding yet?

Interview with the Author...
(Thank you so much for taking the time to answer our questions!)
Do you base your
characters off of real people? (Yourself, friends, family)
Dylan Hart is a character based mostly on me and
loosely my friends and people I’ve
encountered in my life. Her friends, Tatum,
Mike, Cyrus, and even others in the series are
bits and pieces of my friends
and family – Detective Mike Petersen is named after my late
grandfather and the
description of his eyes are my grandfathers. It’s odd to think of this
character as a love interest and my grandfather, but as far as good men go my
grandpa is a
good model.
Who was your favorite character to write about?
Dylan is easy because she’s basically me. But I
love to write bad guys. Dominika – though
really not a bad guy – she’s a bitch
and I love to imagine her snotty attitude, her mannerisms
when she’s talking.
Her Hungarian accent is my favorite and the cadence in her speech is
pulled
from a family member of mine (yes, she’s Hungarian) I wish others could hear it
how
it’s spoken. It’s great. Azelie, baddie introduced in book two and coming
back in book three,
is a killer character to write. Her thought process is so
wicked and devious I feel I have to
pull back sometimes for fear she’s coming
across downright evil.
What inspired you to become an Author?
I was drunk one night…the best stories always begin
that way. The idea of Dylan Hart was
planted. I started writing, I think it was
’07, and tinkered with it for years. It wasn’t until
mid-2010 I let someone
read what I had. They pushed me to finish it – refusing to speak to
me until I
did. It really didn’t sink in until six months after I decided to go indie that
I
figured I could do this author thing. I actually think about writing every
day and couldn’t
imagine a future without books.
What is the toughest part about being an Author?
It changes depending on the current challenge, but
for the most part it’s always promoting. I
hate trying to promote my books and
in this game you have to get your name out there –
EVERYWHERE – or no one has
any clue who you are. That’s a shitty place to be.
If you could describe yourself with one word... what would it be and why?
Cynic – cyn –ic : a faultfinding captious critic ;
especially : one who believes that human
conduct is motivated wholly by
self-interest
Naming only three…Who are your favorite Authors currently?
I get asked
this a lot and I feel like it changes all the time so I’m glad you specified
‘currently’. Ann Charles, Juliann Whicker, Diane Castle. I’ve read plenty in
the last year and
these are the three that popped in my head first.
