Jevron -
It is already on my list, and have it up in the running.

I believe I won it at Nicole's blog? Vamplit/EbookUndead has kindly offered to let me enjoy and review any book at the site. Wonderful I would say.

As for Charlie hes not a vampire guy... zombie guy, or werewolf guy and makes it well known. But we love him any way... and occasionally ignore his rants as well.

Additionally, since you are now a reader - I dislike the word follower - you will also be included in the author link up page here on Layers of Thought. Which should be coming soon.

Welcome!

Okay, that's funny! I came here to ask the kind ...

Okay, that's funny!

I came here to ask the kind owner of this blog to review my book 'Swan Song' and it's previewed here! I can only assume the lovely Nicole Hadaway had a hand in this, or the delightful Gwen at Vamplit Publishing.

I can totally sympathise Charlie, and I totally agree. The vampire trend is rocketing out of control, but you see for most of us, this is not a bandwagon we are jumping on. I've been obsessed with vamps and writing them since I was fifteen (I am now thirty) and it's got bugger all to do with 'Twilight' (which I think sucks by the way! Lol! It's a girl's diary, not a real vampire story).

'Swan Song' was designed as the antidote to 'Twilight' and is intentionally very gritty.

Ahem, so will I be able to submit it here for review? Kind mistress of the blog?

Charlie - I know you don't like vampires, zombies...

I know you don't like vampires, zombies, or werewolves...and a lot of people feel that way too. We shall see if its a fad or not... lots of people are counting on it not to die. And I think there will always be a sub culture around it.

Vamplit - Gaynor opened submissions from writers and received so many that she will have her hands full for months or more - I imagine they are all vampire based.

I am not one to focus on this sub-genre much - so don't worry we are not going to turn into "slayers of the throat".

Damn John's good - his word smithing.. lol

Charlie - I have some horror you may be really interested in...

I will be doing a guest post for him and an ebook giveaway. His last two books have been nominated for the Bram Stoker... not a vampire related award.

Jeremy Shipp - His style is twisted and funny and dark.. real. With some deep psychological quirks... I think you would love it.

I think ghosts and hauntings are much more paranor...

I think ghosts and hauntings are much more paranormal because they are ethereal--and can scare the crap outta ya.

The vampire thing has gotten out of hand, IMO, but people must be reading vamp lit. Hopefully, it will slow down to a dull roar.

Charlie - You know I did not read anything vampire...

Charlie -
You know I did not read anything vampire until I started the Twilight series, which my best friend harassed me until I did. A couple of years ago. I refused to read Anne Rice's Vampire stuff in the 80s - just like I've only read one Stephen King, Dean Koontz... and Clive Barker.

Now I've finished Dracula and Nicole's book Release, and then Soulless by Gail Carriger. So this is a new genre for me. So many variations on the theme.

I am not sure what the fascination with vampires is? I'm thinking its a fascination with the paranormal... anything beyond reality perhaps?

Vampires. Again. Some more. How many things can you do with a vampire, other than for a long time?
