nationally bestselling Author Michele Bardsley! Michele is the ubercool author of tons of riveting stories, including the Broken Heart, Oklahoma series, in which, according to Two Lips Reviews ““Michele Bardsley created vampires that are completely outside the stereotype we expect, they are hilarious, lovable, hot … you will love reading about them.” Much foot-stomping, screaming, [...]
This week and next I’ll be putting the final touches on Bitten in Two. I’ve finished the second draft and am now in the cleaning phase, during which I jump to different parts of the manuscript and sharpen the rough edges before giving it two more read-overs. One for fact-checking. One for readability. Then it [...]

Yup, I was inspired to write this while driving for three hours, one-way, on a construction-infested interstate when (thank you, IPod!) this song came rolling through the speakers!

Woot! Our very own Vayl has made the Bitten by Books shortlist for #1 Sexiest Male Vampire in Literature. And your vote could get him to the top! Have at it, my friends! (And thanks a million to Vale for giving me the high sign about this whole deal. How cool, yeah?)
Naw, unfortunately this isn’t one for the XBox, but I think it’ll still be fun. It’s called Caption This. I imagine most of you have heard of it, but if not . . . the picture below needs a caption–from you. I took it this weekend while exploring southern Indiana with my hubby. I’m assuming [...]
