Today's guest is Jennifer Malone Wright, author of
The Vampire Hunter's Daughter. Jennifer Malone Wright resides in the beautiful mountains of northern Idaho with her husband and five children. Between the craziness of taking care of her children, whose ages range from fourteen all the way down to six months, and being a homemaker, Jennifer has little time left for herself. The time she does have left, usually leading far into the night, is spent working on freelance work or her beloved fiction.
When she grew up, Jennifer always had her nose in a book. She has been writing stories and poems since grade school. This love of the written word and her strong interest in the paranormal is what has led to her first novel “The Birth of Jaiden.”
In addition to being a mother and homemaker, Jennifer is also a very proud military wife. Moving around the country for the last ten years has made her a bit of a nomad and she finds it difficult to be in one place for too long.
Jennifer is also the author of The Birth of Jaiden, a paranormal novel filled with action, suspense, and even a love story.

And here is an excerpt from the book:
I took the first book
off the stack and examined the cover. It was titled
Vampires throughout
History. The cover was leather and so old it was stiff and cracked in
spots. The pages showed signs of age too, yellowing and stiff to the touch.
There was no table of contents, so it looked like I was going to have to scan
the entire book for what I was wanting. I flipped the pages carefully, so as
not to tear any of them.
After an hour of
scanning and about half way through the book, I found something referring to
vampire children.
~~~
Although extremely
rare, the natural-born offspring of vampires exist throughout the world. These
rare beings are called the dhampir. Dhampir are usually the product of a
vampire and mortal. The most common of these unions is a male vampire
impregnating a mortal woman. Vampires, both male and female, are seductive in
nature and some mortals came willingly to these unions. However, the majority of
dhampir born were produced through an act of rape.
Solitary by nature,
it is uncommon for a vampire to settle with any one mate for long. The children
of vampires, the dhampir, more often than not exhibit all the characteristics
of their vampire parent. The strength, speed and agility are the usual
hereditary traits that the children develop. They are not always born with
these traits but develop them as they grow into adulthood.
The dhampir are day
walkers. Some of these children are sensitive to the sunlight but will not
perish in the direct rays. Most have no sensitivity at all. Drinking the fresh
blood of mortals is also not usually required of the dhampir; however, some
have a liking for it. Very few actually need it to survive.
Most dhampir are
rejected by the vampire species because of their mortality and weaknesses.
Mortals often reject the dhampir, as well, due to their vampirism, so they
frequently remain outcast.
Dhampir are known
for becoming vampire killers. Their closeness to the vampires and their vampire
characteristics make them powerful vampire hunters. The unique ability to track
and kill vampires is specific to only the dhampir and the mythological race of
vampire hunters.
Historically,
dhampir became vampire hunters as a trade. Towns and villages became plagued by
vampires who were terrorizing their homes and killing their people. The dhampir
accepted contracts in exchange for monetary payment and used their likeness to
their vampire counterparts to exterminate the vampires.

Holy crap, that was a lot to process.
The more I read the passages, the more I understood that my being a hunter was
more than my heritage; it was my history and my future. Everything about my
bloodlines had hunters involved.
