Celebrating the Absurd
As I’ve said, my aim in “Dark Love” was to poke a little fun at the whole paranormal/supernatural genre. I thought substituting semen for blood would make for a good twist. After all, wouldn’t the seed of life have more power than blood? It is certainly more fun to come by. I also wanted my main character to believe that magic was absurd and then have that absurdity bitch slap him.
A little wacky and wierd.
"Dark Love" started out as an attempt to poke a bit of respectful fun at the paranormal romance genre. You know the whole sparkly vampire thing. Then the characters took over and things got a bit more serious. There is still wacky humor and weirdness, that’s just how I tell a story. However, it turned out to be a proper love story, a story about finding your love in the here and now and a story about love that transcends time. It is a story about love wanting to live in the light and be dark no more.
