Local author taps into the blood of the undead in ‘V-Life’.
Honey Parker’s new book is a departure from her last series
Jul 12, 2024 - Scott Iwasaki
Author, podcaster and part-time Parkite Honey Parker took a literal and figurative detour from her coronavirus-lockdown-inspired “Careful-ish” novel trilogy with a new adventure.
“V-Life: So it begins,” currently available at Amazon and honeyparkerbooks.com, is about a newly turned vampire who lives in an RV — a setting far separated from the comedic and poignant antics of six characters who are in COVID-19 lockdown in New York City, Parker said.
“This is the tale of Sugar Bernstein as she attempts to outrun evil and Jewish guilt by taking on van life,” Parker said. “It’s in a totally different universe than ‘Careful-ish.'”...

I loved them all and knew each one so well that it was easy-ish to write. In truth, I’d had the idea for V-Life first. Mr. Parker and I were traveling the country in an RV for a podcast we were doing. I’d thought, van life would be a smart move for vampires. Traveling from place to place like that, no one would notice that they weren’t aging. Then a close friend’s husband died.
