Title: Scarlett Ambrosia Blood if the Nectar of Life
Author: David Gittlin
Release Date: 5th November 2014
BLURB supplied by the author
How
does a nice Jewish accountant tell his parents he’s become a
vampire? If only that were his biggest problem.
A
one night stand, an error in judgment, a wrong turn—words can barely describe
the events that thrust Devon Furst into the arms of a beautiful vampire lover.
The violent aftermath of that fateful night threatens to burn
Devon’s eternal life down to ashes and endangers the lives of everyone close to
him.
Everything
in Devon’s life changes in the span of a few hours. When he asks Mathilde
de Roche one too many questions, the troubled vampiress has no choice but to
offer Devon two terrible alternatives: Death or life as a vampire. For a
man aged twenty-eight and in perfect health, death is not an option.
Mathilde’s alluring beauty makes the decision and her vampire blood easier to
swallow.
Devon
must leave behind everyone and everything he holds dear to face a future
full of uncertainty, and a five-hundred-year-old enemy endowed with super-human
powers.

What David Gittlin say's about his book now . . .
“A year after writing ‘Scarlet Ambrosia,’ I see the
story through a different pair of eyes,” Gittlin says. “At the core of the novel is a young man’s struggle
with darkness and light. The vampire
archetype, I now realize, is a metaphor for my heart’s dream to realize its
divine nature. The supernatural powers
and ramped up energy level Devon acquires as a vampire make him half-human and
half-god, something like the mythological Greek gods. He can choose to use his new powers for good
or evil purposes.
“Please don’t think I have a God complex. I believe everyone has the potential to
become a divinely human being. I’ve been
a ‘spiritual seeker’ for most of my adult life.
Awakening isn’t easy, but I’ve found it’s worth the effort. What happens for Devon is happening for me,
sadly without the super-human powers, but happily, minus the need to drink
human blood.”
