FrostBite, Twilight, and Disco Fright


AUTHORS & BOOKS

Carolyn Jean reviewed my first novel, Happy Hour at Casa Dracula. "It’s more like a quirky, very clever and fresh take on the genre I'd shelve with favorite authors like Evanovich or Josh Lanyon." Not bad company! (The Trillionth Page)

Interview with Richelle Mead about her Vampire Academy series and her new novel, FrostBite. "And, at the same time, I like to think that it’s funny, too. There’s a lot of off-the-wall humor. I really enjoy throwing in random wacky things, like the vampire who’s on a low-carb diet, that I just feel make it fun. " (Media Blvd.)

Read an excerpt from Richelle Mead's FrostBite. "I opened my senses and allowed myself to truly feel her through our psychic bond. She had been telling the truth. She was calm and happy this morning, nothing to worry about. But, far back in her mind, I sensed a knot of uneasy, dark feelings." (Richelle Mead)

Review of Mary Janice Davidson's Swimming Without a Net. "Kind of done in a 'chick lit' style with a very snarky female lead narrator. It is also the second in her Fred, the mermaid, series." (Sharty Rant)

Review of Michelle Rowen's Bitten & Smitten. "Vampirism by blind date. Not a good end to your evening." (What Women Read)

Review of My Big, Fat Supernatural Honeymoon, an anthology by Jim Butcher, Kelley Armstrong, Katie MacAlister, etc. "Personally, I love anthologies because you’re able to read stories from your favorite authors that you usually won’t find anywhere else (this sometimes bothers me if they’re from a series though) as well as meet new authors that are similar to your favorites." (Reviews of Things)


MOVIES & DVDS

New video from MTV with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson hoping that "Twilight" will popularize vampires.

TELEVISION

What happens when your favorite series takes a wrong turn?
"Okay, one of the hardest things to come to grips with in fandom is that your series will eventually break your heart. No, really." (Firefox News)


GRATUITOUS VIDEO OF THE DAY

I warned you about the bad disco. (Gerri Halliwell's version of "It's Raining Men" is rather eh, which is what makes this bad disco.)
