Today on the blog we have the distiguished honor of having the leading lady from The Vampire's Hope, Ms. Ellie Smith. She has agreed to do an (Character) interview. I hope you enjoy! 
Ellie, please tell us about your family.
Ellie Smith:There’s not a whole lot to tell. Usual sob story. Mom threw me on a porch the day I was born. And well, never knew my dad.
Some people used to laugh at me when I was in the system—but you know what? It never really bothered me. It’s a strange thing, but nothing really seems to bother me…at least not until I was turned Vamp. Then…well then, Ian opened up a whole new door to the world for me.
What one word best describes you?
Ellie: Savvy.
What was the scariest moment of your life?
Ellie: Most would think it was the day I was killed. But that didn't really bother me, hell I looked forward to death. The scariest moment of my mortal or immortal life had to be the moment I thought I would lose my Ian.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Ellie: I sure as hell never thought I would grow up and be a dancer. (She laughs and takes a sip of her steadily warming beer.)
I never really hoped for anything. I guess I just wanted to grow up.
What songs are most played on your Ipod?
Ellie: I'm a HUGE Godsmack fan. Here are my favorite three songs:
1. Godsmack—Voodoo (My all-time favorite song.)
2. Godsmack—Now Go Away
3. Godsmack--Vampire

Ellie: Have you seen that movie, Girl With the Dragon Tattoo? It would definitely be that chic.
Morning Person? Or Night Person? How do you know?
Ellie: I’m a frigging Vampire. Really? I guess my other name should be Mary-freaking-sunshine.
What would we find under your bed?
Ellie: You don’t want to look under my bed.
What is the next big thing?
Ellie: Ian and I have only just begun our story. Keep an eye out for us. We’ve had some bad-ass adventures that only need to be written down.You wouldn’t believe what we’ve been up to.
Ellie, thank you for the great interview!
Danica Winters: I want to take a moment and thank you for visiting the blog. It is greatly appreciated. And I had fun doing this interview.
Thank you for coming to meet Ellie!
