Cold ground and with cold blooded love to heat up this story even more.
Vamps roaming seems to be a hint of what is to come. Nothing runs smoothly in love or battle. Well done with this
cheers,

What a wonderfully horrifying way to spend my eve. I brought my wine (red, of course) to my chair beside my fire... I read... and find my old college friend is the
little vixen about whom they fight! (Her name is Mirela!)
This is the stuff of wonderful dreams or nightmares...and Haiku is my favorite!!!!
Wonderful, you two!!!!

Hello, Loanna Lois, you are very kind to review our haiku in such unique way LOL you make my haiku, or our book, sound like an evening affair. LoL I love it!

Dean and I are grateful to you for reading Mirela's gothic tales of passion and horror in good old Romanian style.

Me thinks there's a bit more word play going on here than meets the eye, dear Gypsy.

Oh sure, your haiku is beautifully laid out and well composed.
That's always a given.

What makes me think this is that one word you've used so deftly here.
"Vamps".
Simple word, really, when you get right down to it.
Vamps are known in one of two ways.
1) Women of ill repute with loose morals and very few scruples who roam the streets at night in search of a little... (how do I put this delicately?)...action. OR...
2) As an abbreviated word for Vampires, or creatures of the night, who feed on the blood of humans.
In reality, and if you think about it, there really isn't that much difference between the two definitions, heh-heh.
Well, you and I BOTH know how much I enjoy good word play.

Also, vampires being dead they have no heartbeat, no body heat, so naturally if they were capable of loving it would be "cold-blooded" in nature.
An excellent beginning to the continuing saga that is Hora Haiku, darlin'.
Oh, and whomever it was that designed your book cover is a freakin' genius!
LOL...

LoL hahaha, yeah, he is a freaking something, all right. LoL

Of course, you would get the double meaning of my haiku. I would not expect any less from you.

Last night I started putting our book together for publication. How awesome is that? I don't mind saying that we are a fabulous duo. There, I said it. Aren't you excited? Well, you knew about our book publication, but I like to brag a little. I love our project, darlin. And as people say around here, I couldn't have found someone better. ;) my mama always said, "you have excellent taste, my baby gypsy."

Thank you for the review and kind words sweetie pie.

Good luck with the project.

Can not go wrong having Dean as a writing partner.

There are reasons why he is recognized as the best Horror writer on FanStory.

We start the second book with Mirela and Claudiu, lovers and vampires, now alone in Bran Castle, having banished Varcolac after he and Claudiu fought over Mirela's love.
Will the werewolf return to reclaim his territory?

Great imagery--emphasis death's frigid chill, like the stone of Bran Castle. What other kind of love would two vamp have besides cold-blooded? haha

Right, cold blooded love is all they can have. LoL They look like they are having fun, though. As you know, it's Dean's turn to write the next haiku and I never know what he is going to write. I do know he wants that darn wolf back. He is very fond of them. We'll see ....
Thank you very much, sweetie pie, I appreciate your review and kind words. Have a nice day.

Hola Gitana, como estas? This is another fine haiku in the tale. Great satori, the aha moment which in this case tells us what to expect.
I want to congratulate you with your new book release. I'm definitely going to buy it. And congratulations that you are now an instructor with Fanstory. I'm so pleased for you. Un abrazo de tu amiga Ulla:)))

Good work on this continuation of the story. I enjoyed the story summaries especially.

Mirela and Claudiu began their eternal union on a dark and heartbreaking note that caused remorse and friction between the lovers, Mirela and Claudiu.--Since this is the same sentence, no need to reference there names again at the end.

Take care,
Russell

Gypsy,

You did a great job with this haiku for the new book. Your few words give a great start to the setting. I like the art. It is perfect for your words. I really like the word 'vamps' as you have used it here, too.

I know this will be a great 2nd book.

Thanks for sharing & teaching readers about haiku. Jan

Gypsy!

I totally get this one! The lovers have begun their love in a sad way, on the death of the brothers love/relationship. (Thus the 'cold-blooded' I think.) Great job! And congratulations!
