We publish, primarily in ebook format for the same reasons we use hostpapa.co.uk as our web hosts, we are both committed to being green businesses. Everything about Vamplit Publishing is set up to be as energy efficient as possible. We all work in virtual offices avoiding the need to travel to a workplace and individually reduce the need to use any form of transport in order to earn a living. As individuals at Vamplit Publishing we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and we believe that epublishing is the natural choice for our beliefs. Most households now have computers and most people now have mobile phones and other ways of downloading our ebooks, so by buying ebooks each customer is becoming a part of a green publishing revolution. The production of ebooks is friendlier to the environment, and their distribution removes the need for transportation and therefore further reducing this companies, its customers carbon footprint and also the authors by choosing to publish in the way.
As the digital age moves forward ebooks will become as accessible as the paperback novel and just as popular. Already recognised bestselling authors, such as Stephen King are now publishing their novels as ebooks and established publishing houses now make their back catalogues available as ebooks. Ebooks offer the author and reader a chance to connect in a more immediate way. Authors can submit their manuscripts digitally to publishers, who can edit online and publish. Readers can now browse the thousands of ebooks out there and download to read immediately without having to pay for postage or wait for delivery.
The most advantagous thing for many people who read regularly, is that ebooks are easily stored on your computer or digital reader, instead of having piles of paperbacks covering every surface in you home. No more trips to the paper bank with heavy carrier bags full of paperbacks covered in dust. For any avid, older reader the ability to change font size makes choosing ebooks the sensible option, as large print books are often only available in hard back at three times the price and limited in availability. I recently tried to get a copy of a Zane Grey novel for my father in large print, the price was extortionate. I paid such a large sum because it was a gift, but I can understand why many older people only read books that are given to them or in their local library. As an older generation, who are becoming more internet aware, find their way to ebooks a whole new world and market will open up.
As the demand increases for ebook reader the price is coming down drastically. The BeBook reader allows books to be downloaded from any site and is not tied to just one bookshop. The price is a very realistic £199 and it is as versatile as the more expensive models available on the market at the moment. Whether you choose to buy a palm held device or just download and read from your laptop or computer, ebooks make sense. Ebooks can be made accessible to the blind, or those who wish to read whilst away from home; just imagine being able to take your whole library with you on 
planes, train or automobiles.

“I am a drinker of human blood and an eater of human flesh, a monster dressed in the skin of a man.” So states Charles, the main character of the novel, after being infected with a virus transmitted by an insect vector.
The Pumpkin Seed opens in India near the Nepal border in the late 17th century. A commissioned officer of the East India Company is seeking a profitable new trade route into China. Indian bandits of the Thuggie clan attempt to stop this further invasion by the British and release a plague of insects, which carry a unique virus. This organism not only infects humans, it transforms the chemical and physical nature of the host’s body. Longevity, resilience and the need to feed on human blood and flesh make the host an efficient killing machine, especially in regard to the human race. The novel follows the characters through 17th and 18th century England and India, culminating in present day Austin, Texas.
Set in the orphanages of London and in the vile trade of body snatching, a list of characters, who are as despicable as their deeds, search for the truth and a cure for their malady. The Pumpkin Seed takes us through the vices of greed, hate, love and despair and creates a modern novel that puts colonialism in the spotlight and asks difficult questions about this generation’s guilt for the crimes of its ancestors.
The Dancing Undead by Grace Mahoney is an anthology of vampire poetry written over the last ten years. Each poem has been lovingly crafted from a deep and abiding interest in the literary vampire.
“Forever.”
That’s the response Ben Gongliewski receives, when he asks Miranda Dandridge how long she’s been a vampire. He doesn’t expect the word “forever” in her reply, but then again, Ben never imagined meeting vampires, let alone demons and werewolves, during his time in the Polish Resistance during World War II. Far from being horrified, Ben discovers that Miranda and her friends have very useful … talents … especially when it comes to saving children from concentration camps. After all, in these desperate times, while the line between good and evil is clear, the one between heroes and monsters is very, very blurred.
The last thing Miranda wants at this point in her immortal life is a human lover, but as she and Ben perform rescue after daring rescue, she can’t help but be drawn to his passion to save his fellow Jews. As the War draws to a close Miranda must choose her love for Ben or her duty to her race. Ben is blindsided by a betrayal that no one sees coming, which leads to a danger where all hell is about to break loose … literally.
