Vampires - Myth? or Plausible Reality?

ORIGIN is Released July 2013

Prior to writing Origin I was what I would describe as being a 'traditionalist Vampire fan', Bram Stoker being the benchmark, although I enjoyed Blade as a good action romp I was always left feeling a little unsatisfied.

For me as a romantic but factual person, basing my life on scientific theories and beliefs I was always slightly unable to commit to say 'Twilight', it just seemed all too male 'Dominated' and non-factual and non-scientific and shaky  But you have to commend the series itself for its blistering success.

But for me, I always wanted to delve into the possible plausible science behind the Vampire's abilities. And hence Origin was born, over a cup of coffee.

Scientifically Origin explains properly the abilities of Vampires, how they fly, why they live so long, why they are so resistant to death and why they need to feed on human blood. No scientific stone or explanation is left untouched.

The key for me, is it possible for vampires to exist? Yes! is it possible for the species to have the powers suggested? Yes!

That is when the shiver went down my spine, for all the hype and fantasy around Vampires the one thing I did not expect was that I would actually become more afraid of them as I wrote my book about them. An unexpected side effect of proving that such creatures could exist but probably actually do, possibly.

Science Fiction Vs Future Fiction

Science Fiction has been the familiar and somewhat inappropriate term for many of the books classified as such for the book publishing business. Editors and Publishers alike love their labels, but does the Label Science Fiction do justice to the quality or content of a book about the future.

A more appropriate term for books that are not solely based on a theory of a new science theory should be 'Future Fiction'. This Label would better describe some works that are a human story just based on the future.

There is significant snobbery with regard Science Fiction, in may ways editors and publishers completely ignore the genre completely as if it were a plague. But in reality they are missing out on some brilliantly written books with excellent characters and interesting plot lines that would put some popular 'Fiction' books to shame.

So do you think there should be a rename of 'Science Fiction' to 'Future Fiction' or perhaps a whole new genre for those books not solely based on a new science but based on brilliant characters and plots set in the future.

You decide, share and debate.

I think yes and its long, long overdue!
