The Parade Keeps Marching On...

Happy Wednesday All,

Congratulations to Tess on being the winner of yesterday's C.C. Hunter giveaway! Thank you to everyone who participated in the drawing and a special thank you to C.C. for donating a copy of Born At Midnight for that drawing.

So...here's the scoop...

We got some awesome, awesome stuff in the works. C.C. Hunter's Born At Midnight and Kerrelyn Sparks' Vampire Mine both come out on March 29th.

April is going to see another official review (can't reveal just yet the author or the novel) and another author interview (not revealing that author's name on here, yet, either). Plus I'm going to be plugging a new website, and gearing up for a huge give away for probably some time in May (this give away is massive!)

I'm working on my own novels, of course. Buffing, polishing, writing, brainstorming.

Okay, today's question: (in light of yesterday's review) which do you prefer: shape shifters or vampires?

Have A Whimsical Wednesday!

Personally, I generally prefer a shape-shifter, as I believe that (most?) werewolves are under a curse and don't relish it. Vampires seem to either ask to be turned, embrace their fate or become extremely jaded...my 2 cents, anyway!

Aliraluna,

Thank you for dropping by.

There's several people in the world who feel the same way as you.

Personally, I think some reinventions are very clever and inventive--but that's the cool thing about the paranormal genre--there's pretty much something for everyone :-)

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

Good Evening One & All, Shakespeare wrote in Romeo & Juliet, "What's in a name?...A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Disney talked about names in Aladdin in the lyrics, "Better get a nom de plume ." (the song, "One Jump"). So, for a writer, what does a nom de plume (or, pen name) say about the author? It could be a different spelling of the author's name, it could be a name that has a significance. They could keep their first name, but change the last, or change both. A pen name is also the name a writer will write under for his or her books. The name that his or her readers will recognize them. The name on the autographs and the one where people will say, "Oh yes, that's so and so, they wrote..." Some authors write under their own names. Others, for a variety of reasons, choose a pen name. What about you? Are you considering a pen name? What have you looked at when thinking of your nom de plume ? For myself, I...
