Lorna Dale from Krystal Lawrence's 'Risen II: The Progeny'
We’re thrilled to
be talking to Lorna Dale from Krystal Lawrence’s newest novel, Risen II: The Progeny. It is a
pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character!
Thank you for your
interview, Lorna. Can you tell us your
story?
Well, a long time
ago, when I was two years old this really old vampire named Francis
Can you tell us
about one of your most distinguishable features?
My fangs pop out
when I get testy.
What would I love
the most about you?
I have quite
dazzling blue eyes that glow in the dark.
What would I hate
the most about you?
Probably being
bitten. I’m still learning how to do that without causing dire consequences.
Do you think the
author portrayed you accurately?
Oh, definitely. She
may have been a little hard on my daddy though.
What is your idea
of a perfect day?
One where nobody
that I bites ends up dead.
If you could change
one physical thing about yourself, what would that be?
Probably the
glowing eyes. I don’t know why, but they seem to scare people.
Are you a loner or
do you prefer to surround yourself with friends?
I love to be around
my friends, but there are just some things a vampire has to do solo——if you
know what I mean.
What’s your idea of
a perfect meal?
B-Positive.
What is your most
treasured possession?
A figurine of a
vampire dog named Samantha that my blood-father, Francis gave me.

About the Book:
Producers
take note! Francis Barclay is back and he’s ready for prime time.
Fans
of horror/suspense masters Stephen King and Dean Koontz are sure to delight in
the return of Francis Barclay, the vengeful and bloodthirsty vampire
resurrected from the dead after 200 years, in RISEN, by the “Mistress of Macabre,” Krystal Lawrence. Barclay,
cremated at the end of RISEN, has
once again returned from the ashes -- and this time he’s not alone!
In
Lawrence’s riveting sequel, RISEN II: THE PROGENY, Barclay is working his slow and agonizing
way back to Alder Lake, determined to save the
child he accidentally sired.
RISEN began the tale of Francis
Barclay’s return to Alder Lake to avenge the centuries old
murder of his family. In this
spellbinding sequel, Barclay is determined to save his progeny. When last we left Alder Lake, seven year-old Lorna was
waiting patiently by the window for her blood-father’s return. Her wait is now
over. She has inherited Francis Barclay’s luminous glowing eyes as well as his
taste for blood.
Alder Lake is once again plagued by
murder. Only this time, the suspect will surprise everyone!
The
“Risen” books may remind readers of the
SOOKIE STACKHOUSE NOVELS by Charlaine Harris or Stephenie Meyer’s TWILIGHT series, but Lawrence reaches farther back for
inspiration in the undead genre. She calls her novels “vampires for grownups,”
in the manner of Bram Stoker’s DRACULA, the
most famous bloodsucker of them all.
The main similarity of the RISEN novels to Harris’ and Meyer’s
books lies in their rich potential to be adapted into the kind of theatrical or
television films that can’t miss in attracting hordes of dedicated fans.
