The Waiting Game

No, this is not "The Dating Game" but the waiting game. I have queried several more agents in my quest for representation. Now all I can do is wait and hope that one of them will believe in my novel Immortal Obsession. I have begun my second novel in the series, presently titled Blood Kiss. Clues to who was given a blood kiss are apparent in the opening chapter; well, sort of apparent. I don't like to spell anything out too clearly and I do like to keep my vampires on their toes as well.

I am presentlly working on a page on MySpace.com as well as putting up a photo of myself here as well as on MySpace. A website is in the works as well so please keep checking in with me.

Vampire Novels

I went on vacation and took the entire Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris. I have almost finished it and I must say I really enjoyed it. I love Sookie Stackhouse; a character so real I feel like I know her! My favorite vampire is Eric of course, having a thing for tall blondes. His very humanness is what makes him so likable, despite being a centuries old vampire. I can't wait to tune into TruBlood, the series based on her writings, which starts in September on HBO!

Another novel I picked up is Let Me In by the Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist. I have not started it yet but the premise seems absolutely chilling. Definitely a darker vampire tale which has been made into a movie in Sweden. I am on the lookout for this one but meanwhile, I have the novel to sink my teeth into, pardon the expression!

Blood Kiss

I have begun my second novel, presently titled Blood Kiss. Michel may have more of a prominent role in this one; in fact, this story may be through his eyes as he wooes the beautiful but very much taken Josette Delacore, the married lover of his best friend, Christian. Though I allude to a love affair between Josette and Michel in Immortal Obsession, I did not explore it. Christian is still unable to come to terms with the possible reality of his best friend and his woman being lovers. I have finished the Prologue and anticipate watching their romance unfold, set against the backdrop of eighteenth century France.
