The "Mother of all Vampires" Theme Week

By -
As mentioned last week, today kicks off a new theme week here at the League. My fellow conspirators and I wanted to do something not only tied in with Michele B.'s new release, but (and I can't believe I forgot this!) also celebrates May 10th.

What's May 10th, this coming Sunday? Mother's Day (USA), folks!

So let's celebrate/commiserate Mom in all her forms where our favorite vampires are concerned (books, movies, TV, etc...)!

I loved Esme in the Twilight series. She is a wonderful mom and vampire to boot.

I didn't realize it was this Sunday for Mother's Day until I saw them talking on TV about it and realized its this week. Mine goes quietly here but I get an extra kiss and hugs and thanks from my kids that day and its worth it!

I don't watch much TV or books, but I did love Moonlight the short time it was on and Mick and Beth. I remember one episode and they were involved with dealing with a child of Mick's past. They'd make wonderful parents too!

The only other vamp moms I can think of are:
Blades Mom (but he dusted her),
Spike's Mom (but with the whole buffy and angel thing it does get a bit sordid after all are you talking birth moms or are we talking blood moms.)
Oh and Vampire Lestats mom. Thats as far as I get on that front though.

Dracula's Brides in Van Helsing were hilarious vampire moms, as was Jason Patrick's mom in Lost Boys, and Marguerite A. (I don't want to butcher the spelling of her last name) in Lynsay Sands' books. I'm trying to think of wacky vampire moms, but my brain is still snuggled up in bed.

My favorite vampire mom? Probably any of Michele's heroines from the Broken Hearts series. Or maybe Anne Rice's Queen of Darkness. Guess it depends on my mood. :D

Aw, thanks Jackie. Other than my own sexy vampires, I love Dakota's Nina and Mark's Gil. And Molly's vamps are awesome, too.

Hah! Gotcha all beat...my real mom is Arla Yvonne, vampire sheriff of area 2 in Louisisana (courtesy of Charlaine Harris). Top that! :-P

Gotta love those blood-sucking Mamas!

It's Mother's Day this Sunday in Australia also.

I guess my vampire knowledge isn't as good as I like to think it is because I couldn't think of a single vampire mum. Or a vampire with a mum. Not one.

Oh, the shame!

Vamps that are Moms? Hmmm

Selene of Underworld. Hey, Kate Beckensale is a mother. Close enough for me, besides I LOVE her sexy English accent.

I'm pretty fond of Cat Crawfield's mom, Justina, in the Night Huntress books. She's developed into such an interesting character over the course of the series.

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin

Excerpt time!

Since I missed my regular posting day--argh!--I'm popping in to steal Kari's day. Well, okay, Kari has a power outage so I'm taking her day, but believe me, I would totally steal it otherwise. And, because I'm just in that kind of mood, I'm going to post an excerpt from the fourth Downside book, SACRIFICIAL MAGIC, which will be released on March 27, 2012. (And wait till you guys see the cover!) The blurb: READING, WRITING, AND RAISING THE DEAD When Chess Putnam is ordered by an infamous crime boss—who also happens to be her drug dealer—to use her powers as a witch to solve a grisly murder involving dark magic, she knows she must rise to the challenge. Adding to the intensity: Chess’s boyfriend, Terrible, doesn’t trust her, and Lex, the son of a rival crime lord, is trying to reignite the sparks between him and Chess. Plus there’s the little matter of Chess’s real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth, investigating reports of a haunting

Heeeyyy, everyone! For those who have no clue who I am, I'll keep this short. My name's Dakota Cassidy, and I write fluffy (like lightly whipped fluffy), humorous paranormals for Berkley Sensation. Mark Henry invited me to join the League after I threatened heinous acts of violence against his person, involving my stilettos and an old can of Aqua Net. After much resistance, and the utter ruination of a sassy pair of red pumps, here I am :) In celebration of my forced entry... er, induction to the League--I got booty for ya :) Here's what I'm in for, and this is what ya gotta do--post in the comments section. Just say hello--that's it :) That enters you in the contest for... A signed copy of the second book in my Accidental series,   Accidentally Dead , but that's not it. I'll buy TWO books--winner's choice--written by any of the authors here on the League. That means you could win books by Caitlin Kittredge, Jaye Wells, that meanie-butt Mark Henry, Miche
