Back in 2004, I started a novel, called The Conservatory. It's about a girl, Cristina, looking for the truth about her father's death. She goes to his old music school (the titular conservatory) and find that things are way more complicated than she thinks, because her father most probably wasn't even human. With the help of Diego, a overly cheerful vampire, she tries to get to the bottom of it.

I'm firmly decided to not try to adapt The Conservatory into comics (again, as it was more or less the basis for My Little Nocturne), but I'm pretty sure that I'll eventually draw a few things with Cristina and Diego. I love those two. Bram & Vlad was created when I was working at the third version of the Conservatory draft, so the boys take a lot from that book.
