Bob is definitely the surprise entry here.  Not sure what else to say, so check out more of him in War of Nytefall: Lost.

Victoria Zigler asked: Do you have a favourite horse breed?

Nope.  I love all horses because each one has something unique.  There are fast ones, strong ones, cute ones, underwater ones, skeletal ones, flying ones, and the list keeps on going.  I can only make twelve at a time though.  Maybe I’ll get stronger one day and be able to make a stable filled with every type of horse.  That will be my dream.  Should probably start storing oats and apples then.

C.S. Boyack asked: Ponies or horses? Synthetic or steel horse shoes? Are horses afraid of the undead? Could it be the smell? How do you feel about other draft animals, like oxen or camels?

1. Yes!
2. Not sure what synthetic means.  Sounds naughty.  So, I have to go with metal.
3. Horses are scared of some undead like ghosts, zombies, and skeletons.  With vampires, it really depends on how hungry we are at the time or our aggression levels.  If you remain calm then the horses stay friendly.
4. I smell like apples and sugar cubes, so I would say yes.  The smell does attract them.
5. Inferior to horses, but still useful.  I can’t really turn them very well.  Oxen just don’t agree with me and I can only get a few days use out of a camel.  Antelope and other deer work with my powers, which is surprising.  Then again, it could be that I can vampirize any animals that are used as mounts.  Maybe I should try to get my hands on a pegasus or a unicorn to see what happens.  Titus wants me to try and make him an elephant mount, but I don’t find them appealing.  They’re loud, stinky, and smash all of the chairs during tea parties.
