Bringing The Dark Series To Television: An Interview With Author Christine Feehan
When Christine Feehan's Dark Series debuted in 1999 with 'Dark Prince,' the book took the reading community by storm. Though appealing to lovers of vampire romance, the books showed a different side of the undead, making them unappealing beings to be avoided.
