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:
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!
