| Kim, you’re the author of over 20 novels and your newest book in the popular Anno Dracula series, Dracula Cha Cha Cha, is out this month! What can we look forward to in this installment, and what do you enjoy most about writing this series? This is the third book in the series – the second, The Bloody Red Baron, was set during World War I and was consequently fairly grim and bloody, so I wanted to relax a little in the third, which is set in Rome in 1959 at the height of the social whirl seen in La Dolce Vita. It has a murder mystery and a little more supernatural business than the earlier books, puts Dracula into a different role (exiled Prince) and picks up the stories of several of my continuing characters, at a later point in their careers. It’s also got Hamish Bond, vampire secret agent – who is enormous fun to write. To sweeten the package, there is an additional novella, ‘Aquarius’, set in swinging London in 1968, which fills in a historical gap in the series. I enjoy playing with other peoples’ toys in the series (mostly, Bram Stoker’s, but a slew of other pre-existing characters from history and fiction show up) and the challenge of creating an alternate, fantastical world which is still recognisably our own. |
