Coming Soon and Coming Out
So I ran out of interviews and that was the end of this blog...for a while. I've done some editing, done some reviewing, and now that it's 2008, I'm ready to come back. The City, sequel to Red Sky, will be released sometime in the next few months. I wrote this one when I was 14, so it's fully two years more mature and readable than Red Sky (lucky you, huh?) Subscribe to this blog to get a notice when it's available online.
The City is the story of a girl who wakes up in a cage in the basement with no recollection of her identity or life. She's assigned a name by her captors and sold into a den of vampires. As she comes to terms with herself, a friend opens her eyes to her true identity and she is introduced to a secret that could end the newly blossoming undead society: vampirism is a virus with deadly consequences to its victims. In order to save herself and the friends she comes to love, she'll have to accept all the facets of herself and remember what happened on the other side of the river.
Also, I've been out to my friends for a few months, so it's probably a good time to out myself here--I'm b.isexual. Surprise, everyone.
I'm looking for volunteers to help me market The City. It's easy to do--just browse Xanga and find ten or a dozen bloggers who might be interested in my book and link them back here. With any luck, they'll be doing the same. After The City is released, I'll make up some free business cards on VistaPrint and try to convince some people to help me distribute them It's all going toward next semester's tuition, kids.
Also, I'm looking for more writers to feature on my blog, more books to review, and more causes to support. I don't expect reciprocity, but if you help me, I'll usually help you.

I'm bi too so WELCOME TO THE CLUB! lol :P
I went to your website and I loved this part...
"The cool blue sky turned purple, then red. Blood began to mist down from the cloudless sky, and the drops striking her body were cold. The grass blackened and died beneath her feet, but she paid it little attention. She'd known it would happen. Black flames began to spurt spontaneously from the house where she'd spent most of her life, but the house did not crumble as it had before. There was no roar of burning wood, of breaking timbers, of dying children. Everything was silent except the splatter of blood on the ground."
GENIUS! ;)
I plan on reading that book you talked about on June 2nd, I think it was...called, "I Will Rise" by Michael Louis Calvillo. It sounds pretty good...considering that I'm kinda odd and an outcast myself. :P Maybe they have it at my library? Dunno, but if they don't I'ma buy it off Amazon. -smirk-
Have a good day...I'm subbing. :)
