Over ten years ago, when I was not sleeping well. I dreamed about a tall man introducing himself to me in a technical school. He towered over me, and I knew he was a vampire, but I was not frightened.
I woke up and wrote down a few notes about the dream. But I got to thinking about this vampire. Who was he? Over the next few years, he came to life. As did the other characters. But it has taken me this long to find the story that needed to be told about them.
