1). Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m an indie author and owner of MVmedia, LLC, a publishing company specializing in science fiction and fantasy based on African/African Diaspora culture, history and traditions. I’ve written and published 21 novels and edited/co-edited seven anthologies.
2). Who is your favorite vampire author?
Actually, I don’t have one. But I must mention L. A. Banks for everything she did for the genre and others.
3). If you had the choice, would you be a vampire?
No. I don’t think I would like the taste of blood.
4). Who is your favorite vampire?
Blade, hands down.
5). What do you like the most about Slay?
I’m always a fan of anthologies and books that feature Black main characters and support Black authors. I’m also a fan of Nicole Smith. Who can say no to her?
6). What inspired you to write Bloodlines ?
I was inspired by my author friends. A lot of them are horror authors, so I decided to try my hand at it. I wanted to see if I could add a different spin on the vampire mythology.
7). Tell us a bit about your story.
Bloodlines is a story about a genetically engineered vampire who discovers what being a ‘true’ vampire really means.
8). What do you hope accomplish with Bloodlines?
I hope it entertains readers first and foremost, and I hope it adds a different spin to vampire mythos.
9). Will there be more stories about Telisa?
There could be. If there is a Slay II and I’m invited, then yes.
10). How do we keep up with all things Milton Davis?
You can check me out on Instagram at @obadoro, twitter as @Thegriot, and I’m on Facebook as well. I also have an author website (www.miltonjdavis.com), and there’s my publishing website, www.mvmediaatl.com

I really enjoyed seeing how open Milton Davis was about the creative process behind Bloodlines and how he’s grounding his vampire mythology in something fresh — that bit about a genetically engineered vampire digging into what being “true” actually means made me smile because it’s a clever twist on a trope we think we know. It got me thinking about how, for anyone juggling multiple projects or deadlines, sometimes you have to get curious about your own motivations to keep the momentum going. I noticed how much he values community and support from fellow authors, and that made me reflect on how many people these days turn to different kinds of support, whether that’s a casual peer chat or even…
A hidden leak can cause serious damage if it’s not fixed early. I learned this the hard way when water started damaging our flooring. Since then I’ve been reading about leak detection services and your post gives great insights into why professional detection matters.
While searching online forums, I noticed many people discussing service options in Tesla Dubai UAE, which shows how important professional care has become.
What an inspiring interview with Milton Davis! His dedication to building a publishing house rooted in African and African Diaspora culture is truly remarkable — it's the kind of passion that reminds us all why storytelling matters so deeply. The way he juggles writing, publishing, and uplifting other authors is honestly goals. As someone who's always believed that representation in speculative fiction changes lives, reading about his journey feels like a motivational push to keep creating. It also makes me think about how much effort goes into mastering any craft — whether writing novels or tackling academic work. When things feel overwhelming, finding the Best Assignment Help or the right mentor, like Milton clearly has been for so many authors,…
I really enjoyed reading your interview and learning about your journey as an indie author—it’s inspiring how you blend African diaspora culture with sci-fi and fantasy.
