Thanks for doing this, Joe. We discovered your work when I was at Cru Cafe in Newport and you kindly gave me one of your books, RoseBlood, which we have reprinted at the end. Tell us about RoseBlood please. RoseBlood is the first book I’ve written for a new venture that I call: the ArtHelps project. I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed by the state of the world and was taking inventory of my skills to see if there was any way I could help.

PROVIDENCE – Its creation took four years and involved input from many sources. And since it went live late last year, the new website for the Samaritans of Rhode Island has drawn praise for its welcoming appearance, resources, and links to help for those who live with mental health challenges or might be contemplating suicide. The site also offers guidance for caregivers.

Raina, congratulations on publication of your latest novel, The Vampire – A Covenant for Peace. We’ll dig into it momentarily, but let’s start with your background. Where did you grow up and what schools did you attend? I grew up in North Scituate, not far from the Scituate Reservoir (largest freshwater body in the state of RI), in a peaceful country setting.

Thanks for agreeing to do this, Alan. There is a lot to discuss. Let’s start by getting into some of your pursuits since leaving The Providence Journal, where during a long career you rose to the title of Executive Editor. You are an editor at SlashGear.com. Tell us about that. I hadn’t thought about how much fun it would be to edit stories about cars, planes, ships, and other tech stuff before I got the job as a news editor with SlashGear.
