Not only is she "author exceptionale" but such a wonderfully nice person. <br /><br />I"m very fortunate Cecelia chose my story The Sin Eater's Prince for her upcoming Vampire Anthology (male/male) "BOYS OF THE BITE." Watch for it coming soon.<br /><br />I already have a copy of Mind Games, a fab story, so I guess you don't need to include me in the contest.<br /><br />WTG, Ceclia,<br /><br />Keta Diablo<br />follow me on twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ketadiabloKeta Diablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484163956613926483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246595.post-29939187544119079882009-07-08T11:46:24.274-04:002009-07-08T11:46:24.274-04:00This looks fun!

A new one, with all lesbian stories called Women of the Bite, will be launching later this week! I'll be sure to send a copy to Patricia, along with Bites of Passion!<br /><br />@Chris -- So true! And it's probably not totally a coincidence that my partner of 17 years is nicknamed "corwin"....<br /><br />@Susan -- I do need time off to re-charge. But I'm not good at "just relaxing." I have to have something to do--I can't *just* sit on a beach. Well, maybe for a day, but then I need to stimulate my brain again, go to a museum, or do a puzzle, or something. My boyfriend says the trick is to find things that are fun for me and that are like work for other people, but which aren't anything like MY work. For example, doing "pick your own strawberries" recently made for a very relaxing trip to a farm! I don't have the urge to check my email while I'm out there doing something! <br /><br />@Vickie -- I often have it quiet while I'm writing, sometimes I put on the "Spa" channel on XM Satellite Radio (which is all new age music, very placid). But for MIND GAMES actually I ended up making a kind of "soundtrack" for myself in my iTunes on my computer. Something about certain pieces of music just put me in the mood for writing these characters. The songs included some anime soundtracks (Gankutsuou and Mushishi) which featured a lot of piano, some ambient piano from Brood XIV (much of which you can download free), and some Richard Schulman solo piano. I have no idea what it was about the piano... there's no piano in the book!<br /><br />@MJ -- I've actually written a couple of things I'd consider were written more of less just for literary value. Um, of course they didn't sell to publishers, so... I can't point you to them! Maybe I'll self-publish them one day.Cecilia Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097995728806706940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246595.post-21676586341020923582009-07-07T20:47:21.771-04:002009-07-07T20:47:21.771-04:00I'm excited to share a book I read that I thin...I'm excited to share a book I read that I think you would like, called <b>Predatoress</b>, by <i>Emma Gabor</i>.<br />The main character falls in love and works with her new love to eradicate the disease of <a href="http://predatoress.com" rel="nofollow">vampirism</a> forever. It seems that it could be made into a movie. Almost reminds me a bit of the movie called I am Legend, which I really enjoyed.<br />Check it out, and feel free to share more books...I'm falling head over heals for this genre and would love to read more about it, starting with Cecilia's book you shared with me!Chrisyhttp://twitter.com/ChrissysKornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246595.post-5717660094768869162009-07-07T20:36:12.671-04:002009-07-07T20:36:12.671-04:00I'm so jealous of your home office.
