Some of my favorite vampires!

I had the privilege of meeting and interviewing the guys from 100 Monkeys last Wednesday night and they were awesome! One of the most generous bands I’ve ever met. Read my article on the concert HERE.

Me with the band!

 Vampire mania seems to have taken over the last two years and appears to  only be growing stronger as new movies, books and television shows pop up all around us.  What is it that has us enthralled with vampires?  Is it the forbidden issue or the fact that they’re so darn irresistible?

  Surprise!

I have a new book coming out. It’s called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. Well, it’s more of a novella than an actual book—my version of a short story.

Actually, this has been a surprise to me, too. The reason why it’s a surprise was that I never intended to publish this story as a stand-alone book. I began this story a long time ago—before Twilight was even released. Back then I was just editing Eclipse, and in the thick of my vampire world. I was thinking a lot about the newborns, imagining their side of the story, and one thing led to another. I started writing from Bree’s perspective about those final days, and what it was like to be a newborn.

This story was something that I worked on off and on for a while, just for fun, in between the times I was writing or editing other Twilight novels. Later, when the concept for The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide came up, I thought that might be a good place for Bree. Her story is a nice complement to Eclipse; it explains a lot of the things that Bella never knew. So I dusted it off and finished it up for placement in the Guide.

TwilightMania will be giving five of our readers a chance to win a copy of Rachel Vincent’s My Soul To Save  book. Contest begins Saturday February 27th and will run through Saturday March 13th.

Book 1 of The Soul Screamers series — My Soul to Take — was released this past summer, and readers found out why Kaylee Cavanaugh screams bloody murder when someone’s about to die.

In Book 2 – My Soul to Save – when teen pop star Eden croaks on stage and Kaylee doesn’t wail, she knows something is dead wrong. She can’t cry for someone who has no soul.

The last thing Kaylee needs right now is to be skipping school, breaking her dad’s ironclad curfew and putting her too-hot-to-be-real boyfriend’s loyalty to the test. But starry-eyed teens are trading their souls for a flickering lifetime of fame and fortune in exchange for eternity in the Netherworld—a consequence they can’t possibly understand.

Kaylee can’t let that happen, even if trying to save their souls means putting her own at risk.

Soul Screamers: The last thing you hear before you die.

The third book in the series will be released in June.

The Prequel: You can learn more about Kaylee by downloading the free Soul Screamers prequel My Soul to Lose here!
