are slowing energy down so we can observe it based on the way we believe it should be observed.” - Richard

Richard is married with three sons, Anthony, Nicholas and Michael. He lives with his wife Elaine in San Diego, California

Richard’s son, Anthony Montemarano, inspired the concept of Vampiro. Anthony was involved with a

series of Buzzfeed produced videos depicting a vampire in Los Angeles who dated a video producer for Buzzfeed.

The series took place in Hollywood and appeared on both Buzzfeed and Youtube.

The videos received several million views and led to a call from an LA production company

interested in using Anthony in a pilot for a Vampire series. Richard, inspired by his son's success,

had an idea for a story about a vampire who lived in LA and was recruited by the C.I.A.

That was all it took for father and son to dream up Vampiro over a couple of bottles of great cabernet!

Anthony lives and works in Hollywood, California, under the alias SHOCKTHEMONSTER.

He is an Art Director for film and television, writes and performs original music

and collaborates with an array of creative and eccentric Los Angeles characters.

In the city of Los Angeles, a Russian plot of industrial espionage quickly turns into an

international incident involving the entire underworld organization of Vampires.

The Vampiros are the head of six worldwide Vampire covens and are the targets of betrayal.

Over hundreds of years they’ve gained control of the international

blood supply and the viral D.N.A. technology that controls the side effects

and enhancements of the Vampirian virus; an ancient menace to the Catholic Church.

Jimmy Vampiro is the eldest son and finds himself suddenly thrown

back into his role as the ‘Enforcer’ after years of peace within the covens,

brought on by the strategic brilliance of his father Peter. He and the rest of the

family are tasked with preventing the world from falling into chaos

from Peter’s long time rival, Igor Leninov, head of the Russian coven.

Vampiro is an adventure that spans centuries and continents as it unfolds into

a tale of betrayal, romance and intrigue. The Vampiro’s emerge from the shadows

to reveal themselves as one of the United States’ most important allies.
