Greetings, Mortal ...

I am the Vampiress Laura.

The fact that you�ve come to me means that you are very brave... or very stupid...

or that you seek the rare gift of Dark Immortality.

If the latter, then before you even request such beneficence, you should know what it means to become part of my world.

I have collected a memoire, the writings of various friends, mentors, associates and, yes, even victims....

Together, these tell the story of how, when still a mortal known as Laura Anne von Hoeffner, I followed my best friend, Belinda Phillips, to a special and secret place � a manor called �CRIMSON KISS� � where we were each in our own way seduced into the astounding and enchanting world of the Immortal Kindred.

So... feel free to peruse my memoire, which I call
