      Hi Wanda –

      I would have to say Anne Rice was the one who inspired me to write. I used to LOVE her vampire chronicles and when the books weren’t coming out fast enough, I wanted to write my own… 🙂

            Haha I was about to reply to my comment and take back what I said. haha 🙂

            I’m still not getting anywhere with that anthology I’m planning. *sigh* Can I anthology be a combination of poetry and flash fiction?

          2. Arianne March 4, 2012 at 9:56 pm

            “an” not “I” *sigh* my typing and my brain don’t agree today.

          3. Lisa Kessler March 5, 2012 at 10:26 pm

            You can put together a story and poetry collection… Just be sure you make it clear that’s what it is… 🙂

      Hi Nikki –

      I’m still finishing up the Night Walker series so I still have a few more immortals up my sleeve. I’m also finishing up a novella more along the lines of Across the Veil… I’m having lots of fun with it! (the magic)

      I also have a werewolf series I need to get sold. I have the first two novels completed and the third underway…

      Glad you enjoyed the blog party! Thanks for entering and for the great questions! 🙂
