Interview with Edmond Chancellor
Tell us about yourself. What are you like?
Edmond:
I’m what’s called a rogue vampire, one who has broken ties with my family. I dislike
being told what to do and I dislike judging others based on their species or being
judged on mine.

What do you think is your strongest point?
Edmond:
My ability to break away from my vampire family. It was one of the hardest things
I’ve ever had to do. Contrary to popular belief, vampires aren’t solitary and I’ve
been quite lonely living as a rogue.

Edmond:
For me money isn’t an object and I’ve chosen to live in what I believe is the best

Tell us a secret about your significant other.
Edmond:
Tobias is the most beautiful, enticing, stubborn man I’ve ever met. He’s a cat shifter

pledge his heart solely to me, but I’m willing to wait and see.
