What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Filthy Rich Vampire? I’ve always been a sucker (no pun intended) for vampires. A few years back I started dreaming up a steamy, decadent world of magic and forbidden romance. Recently I was enjoying some regency romance and thought ‘I bet vampires’ still have balls, social seasons, and arranged marriages. It was the final piece of the puzzle for my vampire world: a vampire heir trying to avoid marriage. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Filthy Rich Vampire, what would they be?

The monkeypox virus may have been spreading at low levels in the United Kingdom for years now, only becoming detectable in the last month, according to health officials.This is the first time the smallpox-related virus has spread locally outside of West and Central Africa, where it is endemic, as all known past cases outside Africa were related to foreign travel. As of May 25, more than 200 people across 20 countries are confirmed to have monkeypox, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (opens in new tab) (ECDC) reported. Currently, about 106 cases are people in the U.K., according…
I am a spring/summer girl through and through. It’s that magical time when we get to rip off the restrictive opaque tights that have been glued to our legs for the last six months and finally get to wear our favourite lightweight dresses that have been collecting dust in our wardrobes through what felt like a never-ending winter. Most dresses will work with a pair of tights, but it’s always my favourites (usually lighter boho dresses or more vibrant pieces) that just don’t sit well.From barbecues to weddings, there always seems to be buzz and excitement for the months ahead and, of course, more than enough reasons to showcase some…

When Top Gun: Maverick became a runaway hit in movie theaters last weekend, it wasn’t just the best opening for a Tom Cruise film in history, more than doubling his previous personal best. Maverick’s $156 million over the four-day weekend also became the biggest opening ever for a Memorial Day release, topping the previous mark set in 2007 by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.But that’s still not all. Those numbers also give Cruise another impressive (and kind of shocking) achievement. With Top Gun: Maverick, Cruise has had a number one movie at the U.S. box office in five consecutive decades starting in the 1980s, and continuing through…

Despite being a lifelong book lover, I’ve only recently began to develop a solid reading routine. I always intended to be the kind of person who reads for an hour before bed, but it never seemed to work out that way. It turned out there were two things holding me back: an unrealistic expectation of how much time I had to put aside for reading before bed and not having a bedside lamp. The best reading lamps make reading in bed comfortable and easy — much more relaxing than having to roll our of bed to turn the light switch…

As a confessed Francophile, I’m always looking for new ways to bestow my own looks with some Gallic charm. On the cusp of spring, I was particularly interested in finding out which spring shoes French girls are most likely to wear. It’s a tricky time to make footwear decisions—one minute it’s raining, and the next it’s glorious blue skies, so I’m always looking for inspiration and guidance when selecting shoes between seasons.In the name of research, I scrolled through dozens of profiles belonging to fashionable French influencers, and after looking at the imagery I amassed during this deep dive, I…

Astronomers will have to wait a while to celebrate the first complete orbit of Pluto since its discovery.Pluto was discovered on Feb. 18, 1930, using the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh found a moving object clearly beyond the orbit of Neptune. That object was later called Pluto, the ruler of the Greek underworld in that culture’s mythology.There’s a long-running debate about whether Pluto is a planet or a dwarf planet. Concerning its orbit, however, astronomers don’t disagree that the world has yet to complete a single orbit since Tombaugh first spotted Pluto in imagery.It takes Pluto…

Dr. Bashir “Bash” Hamed (Hamza Haq) needs some help to figure out a way to help his newest patients, especially since one of the things he could really use — lab results — isn’t an option in TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek from the June 4 episode of Transplant. (The medical drama has moved to a new time slot, Saturdays at 8/7c, on NBC.) “Anyone have time for a differential?” Bash asks as Dr. Theo Hunter (Jim Watson) walks into the lounge. The other man is out, needing to shower since “the rental guys demolished the kitchen in my new…
In a proof-of-concept study, researchers have created self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can perform simple logic functions. The work demonstrates that it is possible to create stable digital circuits that take advantage of an electron’s properties at quantum scales. One of the stumbling blocks in creating molecular circuits is that as the circuit size decreases the circuits become unreliable. This is because the electrons needed to create current behave like waves, not particles, at the quantum scale. For example, on a circuit with two wires that are one nanometer apart, the electron can “tunnel” between the two wires and effectively be…
Although it’s completely true that there’s nothing we love more than a full-blown Jennifer Lopez look (we’re talking about her iconic Versace jungle dress and, more recently, her bridal minidress by Giambattista Valli), it would be wrong for us to discount the Hustlers star’s more laid-back outfits. After all, whether it be a sundress or joggers, J.Lo really can make anything look good. Her latest one is no exception. While out and about in L.A., Lopez was spotted wearing the easygoing denim look that French girls have been donning for decades. Specifically, she combined a basic white T-shirt with high-rise, wide-leg jeans à la Jane Birkin back in the 1970s. Keeping…
NSO Group and its powerful Pegasus malware have dominated the debate over commercial spyware vendors who sell their hacking tools to governments, but researchers and tech companies are increasingly sounding the alarm about activity in the wider surveillance-for-hire industry. As part of this effort, Google’s Threat Analysis Group is publishing details on Thursday of three campaigns that used the popular Predator spyware, developed by the North Macedonian firm Cytrox, to target Android users.In line with findings on Cytrox published in December by researchers at University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab, TAG saw evidence that state-sponsored actors who bought the Android exploits…
Pussy Riot’s Masha Alyokhina has fled Russia amid President Vladimir V. Putin’s war on Ukraine and crackdown on dissidents. In the past year, Alyokhina was jailed multiple times for short stints—attempts to stifle her activism when she was arrested, for example, at an anti-Putin rally. In April, when authorities announced that her house arrest would turn into 21 days in a penal colony, she decided to exit the country. A new report from The New York Times outlines the punk activist’s efforts to evade Russian authorities and find her way across the border.Alyokhina had been staying at a friend’s apartment…

It’s easy to see the sudden appeal of a maxi dress. For the most part, they keep you covered, which is ideal for the changeable weather we’re currently experiencing. Still, the attraction goes way beyond practicality—there’s something downright fabulous about wearing a maxi dress. My guess is all the swooshing potential. After a couple of years spent dressing for comfort and very little else, I’m all for wanting to feel fancy in my clothes again. Read The Full Article Here
Stewart says public interest in spiders and scorpions has exploded as people realize they are actually low-maintenance pets that don’t need walking three times a day and can be kept in apartments or small homes without a backyard. “They’re fascinating creatures, and they’re beautiful,” says Stewart, who has been collecting them for the past 20 years.That said, he agrees that international spider trading can be a problem because unethical collectors can decimate wild populations. “We don’t just like tarantulas because they look cool,” Stewart says. “We’re more fascinated by them and want to preserve them in the wild, so you…
Dave Navarro revealed in a since-deleted Instagram post that he’s been “sick since December” due to the longterm effects of COVID-19. “So yeah, I’m one of the ones who came down with the ‘long haul covid,’” Navarro said (via Ultimate Classic Rock).. “Been sick since December and supposedly will be back to my old self in… nobody knows how long.” Long COVID refers to symptoms felt long after the initial contraction of COVID-19, including fatigue, cough and difficulty breathing, and brain fog.

Quentin Tarantino is finally making a foray into published criticism. After a long career in film, this seems like a good move. Tarantino famously said he was going to be done directing films after ten movies. His reasons for that vary, from the fact that it’s a nice round number to the fact that he just wants to make ten great films and then get out.He has a great track record so far, but he’s definitely nearing that ten film count. Maybe this is his way of pivoting over to a new field. Tarantino also famously said he “didn’t go to film school, he went to…
Scientists recently discovered something about male mice that’s utterly bananas: The distinctive scent of a banana stresses them out.Researchers from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, learned about this unusual fruit aversion while analyzing spiking stress hormones in male mice when the males were close to pregnant or lactating females. The scientists reported in a new study that the males’ hormonal shifts were triggered by the presence of a compound called n-pentyl acetate in the females’ urine. It also happens to be the compound that gives bananas their distinctive smell.”The whole thing came as a surprise, since we were not looking…
