Its title was changed after advice from a publisher, recommending that the subject matter of ‘vampire’ should be put into the title.The original version was revisited in 2013 and subsequently published as an e-book, closely followed by the second and third instalments that year also.Nael attributes much of his fervent imagination to watching many old Hammer Horror movies and comic books as a child, culminating in his own publication of comic books with his grammar-school classmates.Each book generally takes Nael a month to actually write, but several months to research.All of the characters are derived from Nael’s own personality, however the names of the characters are derived from associates’ feline friends.Books 2 and 3 of the Communicator/Vampire Chronicles were based in Durham, a city which he still visits to this day.view less
