Back in 1992, I won a book in a drawing...it was Vampire: The Masquerade from White Wolf Publishing. It was a beautiful book...amazing images and story ideas in it. Anyway...some time after that I was sort of stuck in my songwriting. So, as a lyric exercise, I decided to try writing a song from a vampire's point of view. That song..."The One Who Waits"...led me to write other songs. Eventually, I saw a storyline emerging from them and decided to try and record the songs. I spent the better part of two years recording the CD.
