I hope you'll try to fit The Loneliest Vampire in NYC into your reading list over the holidays. It's a fast paced entertaining read that I promise will entertain, if not astound and amaze.

Hi Starr, lovely to hear from you. It's a shame you've not been on Shelfari so much lately, but awesome that you've taken up writing. I know it can be mentally challenging and at times exhausting but I wish you lots of luck. Who knows we just might see your name across our Shelfari shelves in the very near future!

Anyway, Merry Christmas Starr and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year xxx

Hi Starr, Never been to Savannah, wrote about it in a play once called "Southern Exposure". My wife will totally perk up at the name Paula Deen! She loves watching her on tv. My son likes GA except for the heat. Here in central California it gets sweltering hot as high as 114 when we have major heat. But he says he would rather have 114 CA heat than 90 degree GA heat. What you described about Savannah sounds lovely! My wife and I want to move, we hate it here, California is not all movie stars and beachfront property...it's loaded with mean people sky high housing, taxes and highest gas in the country!

My book is now available in real print. here is the link on amazon for it in paperback.

Thanks for writing it's awesome to get to chat with you more. I'm on twitter and goodreads and facebook..anywhere i can promote my book I'm there! lol.

Awesome Starr, and thanks so much for the friend request! That made my day! My son lives in Atlanta. How do you like Savannah, I've often considered moving there.
In regards to my other two books, I don't know if you be interested in "Bob's Your Auntie" as it's a play and not really a book. "Silence" is available in paperback on Amazon or barnes and nobles. You can pretty much get it anywhere.
Look forward to getting to know you!
Thanks again for requesting me!
Cheers Tom

Oh I forgot to answer your question.
An Apple For Zoë is a trilogy. Book one is called The Forsaken
Coming next is "The Wicked"

I do have another book published but it is an adventure romance set in the 1920's during the silent film era and takes between Hollywood and England.
The book is on my shelf, it's titled "Silence" and it just went live on Amazon Kindle today. very reasonable priced at 0.99 cents.

Hi Starr! Thanks so much for writing back! I'm so glad the cover caught your eye! Looks all my hard work paid off! :) Well this one certain has plenty of weird and macabre things happening in it. The Kindle is for sale now, the physical version of the book will be available in about two weeks on Amazon.

If you read it, let me know what you think...even if you think it stinks, I still would love to know.

Hi Starr, I've missed our book chats too but I know how hard it can be juggling books and children etc. Still it's really nice to catch up every so often. I'm half way through reading Dark Flame right now starr and I totally get where you're coming from with regards to Haven. I also find myself exasperated by Ever as she seems to make one bad choice after another despite people warning her beforehand. Everytime she's in a mess it's down to her own doing. Is Night Star the last one do you think? I know there's a spin off series based on Riley.

I'll definately bring Fallen and Hush Hush up on my to read list. I've had a few books from the library that I have to return at some point but will read both series right after that. The Price by Alexandra Sokoloff sounds really intriguing I must say so please let me know how you find it when you've finished. I have Blood and Chocolate on my wish list too. As for the other books you've mentioned, I remember you recommending the Queen Betsy series before but I haven't managed to obtain them yet. The Dead Path sounds really scary and I have to confess to being scared of my own shadow even in broad daylight Starr so I'll let you read it first ok?!

Have you been watching the third season of Fringe? I've not gotten round to seeing it yet as Sky One were already seven episodes into it when I finished the second season. So I'm going to have to wait for it to be repeated now. I know that the real Olivia takes a while to return from the other dimension and Peter doesn't realise until after sleeping with the other Olivia that she's an imposter. Excellent series though Starr seriously.

Anyway I'll log off for now Starr as it's 01.15 in the morning here and I have to get up at seven. I was determined to finish all my notes today. Take care won't you? Bye! xxxx

Hi Starr! It's so nice to hear from you, how have you been? I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoyed Torment. I haven't gotten round to reading Lauren Kate's Fallen or Torment even though I purchased them both last year. I'm really looking forward to reading them though. I even own Becca Fitzgerald's Hush Hush and Crescent and not read those either. Other books keep getting in the way.

I've just finished reading the excellent Shifter series by Rachel Vincent. They are a present-day urban fantasy series about a female werecat named Faythe Sanders, the world’s only female werecat enforcer, as she fights to define her own role in her family and to claim a place in her Pride. It's gritty, full of action, graphic (not for the faint hearted) and quite tragic at times.

I'm currently reading the fifth book in Alyson Noel's The Immortals called Dark Flame, have you read them by any chance Starr?

What have you been reading and what are you currently reading?

Hi Starr, Happy Birthday to you! I hope you had a wonderful day. I know exactly what you mean about each birthady seeming a little less exciting every year. It's because we know we are another year older! It's nice when the kids are grown up and make a fuss though. I turned 41 - yes 41! in September but the kids made it nice.

I'm so pleased that you ordered some of the books I mentioned and am really looking forward to hearing your views on them. I'm a bit of a wimp where horror books are concerned so perhaps you won't find them very scary. I read them at night before going to sleep and couldn't shake them off - arms and legs tucked under the blankets, I looked like a mummy!

I've got the Pretty Little Liars series on my wishlist Starr as I've heard good things about them. Are you enjoying them? I understand there's a TV show based on the books but I've not seen it. I've not seen the Dexter series but I've heard of it. They are currently showing season 4 in the UK so I shall have to catch up the next time they show it from the beginning again.

I'm on the first season finale of Fringe and they are showing the first fourteen episodes of season 2 as well, so it's going to be great to not have to wait after the season 1 cliffhanger. I'm dying to ask you stuff about it but it ruins the surprise element don't you think? I promise we will discuss it soon. Incidently how far ahead are you? Are you on Season Three? Have you seen Eleventh Hour? It sounds similar to Fringe.

The Vampire Diaries started last week and got off to a smashing start. The actress who plays the role of both Katherine and Elena does a great job separating the two roles. I can't wait for the second episode tonight.

I've read the Blue Bloods, Starr but haven't read The Keys to the Repository yet. You're right, I should try to get this book as it would be a great way to recap on all thats happened in time for Misguided Angel. Unfortunately the library doesn't have it so I shall have to buy it.

Anyway, my tummy is rumbling and the youngest is nagging me for the PC so I'll log off now. Take care won't you Starr?

Your Best Book Buddy too,
Nis xxxxx

Hi Starr, it's so nice to hear from you. I've almost caught up with Season one of Fringe as I've only got three more episodes to go. The new series starts next week annd I can't wait. The plots really intriguing and I love Walter. I love the banter between both father and son. We haven't learnt much about Peter's past and I hope this improves in the second season. The actress who plays Olivia is brilliant I think.

I totally agree with your L J Smith analysis. I've also noticed she has a penchant for happy endings - not that I'm complaining as I hate sad endings. Like you I also enjoy her Vampire Diaries more and think they are superior to her other stuff.

Starr it's so strange but I'm a bit burned out on books in general at the moment. I totally overdosed on reading last month ( I read 18) and am a bit fed up of books. I keep forcing myself to read as I don't want to fall behind in my target but it's difficult. I hope it's only temporary!

Good luck with you horror books Starr and let me know how you get on with your Richard Layman work. I'm scared of my own shadow personally especially if I've read a horror book before bedtime. The last scary books I read at bedtime were by Barbara Erskine called House of Echoes, Midnight is a Lonely Place and Hiding From The Light. I think you would like these so I'm writing a quick synopsis:

House of Echoes
When Joss Grant, adopted at birth, inherits Belheddon Hall – a beautiful old house on the East Anglian coast – it is like a dream come true. Eager to begin a new life there with Luke, her husband, and Tom, her small son, she is also impatient to find out about her newly discovered family who lived there for generations. But not long after they move in, Tom wakes screaming at night. Joss hears echoing voices and senses an invisible presence, watching her from the shadows. Are they spirits from the past? Or is she imagining them? As she learns, with mounting horror, of Belheddon's tragic and dramatic history, her fear grows very real, for she realises that both her family and her own sanity are at the mercy of a violent and powerful energy which seems beyond anyone's control.

Midnight Is A Lonely Place
"May the Gods of all eternity curse you, Marcus Severus Secundus and bring your putrid body and your rotten soul to judgement for what you have done here this day."

Having just broken up with her boyfriend, Kate Kennedy lets a cottage in remote North Essex in order to lick her wounds and concentrate on finishing her biography of Lord Byron. When strange things begin to happen, she at first dismisses the odd and sometimes frightening events as attempts by the cottage's former occupant to scare her away. It rapidly becomes clear, however, that a recently disturbed Roman grave has unleashed dangerous-and evil-supernatural forces. As the reult of the excavation of an ancient burial site has awoken the ghosts of Marcus Severus Secundus and his wife Claudia and her lover Nion, a druid priest. Marcus was cursed by Claudia after he had Nion killed, and shortly after he murdered her. Marcus is determined to safeguard a centuries-old secret at the gravesite, while Claudia is equally set on exposing her husband's evil deed. It is this tragedy that now haunts the present.

Hiding From The Light
Across the peninsular the mist rolled in, its icy fingers curling up the cliffs. Inside their houses people stirred in their sleep and children cried in the dark. The parish of Manningtree and Mistley has a dark history. In 1644, with England in the grip of a Puritan government, Matthew Hopkins, Cromwell's Witchfinder General, tortured scores of women there, including Liza, the herbalist, whose cottage still stands in Mistley, and Sarah Paxman, the daughter of the manor. And today the spirits of Hopkins and his victims haunt the old shop in the High Street, they say. Emma Dickson has given up her high-flying career to live in Liza's cottage, but now she is being driven half-mad by visions of the past; of Sarah's battle to save herself and Liza from the Witchfinder. In despair, Emma turns to the local rector for help, but he, too, is in the grip of something inexplicable - something which threatens Emma. And, as the feast of Halloween approaches, Emma is caught up in a struggle that has been raging for centuries, as old enemies reach out across the years for their revenge. Can she stop the forces unleashed from the past wreaking their devastation in the present?

If you are into ghosts/apparitions, past and present overlapping, witchcraft, good v evil etc then these books are your cup of tea. My personal Erskine favourites though are Lady of Hay, Kingdom of Shadows, Child of the Phoenix and The Warrior Princess.

I've read the first four books in the Sweep series Starr and have since acquired others in the series but need to re read the first four again at some point. They were quite good. I managed to buy the first 8 books as a 2 in 1 book series at a good price at The Book Depository. They have some good offers sometimes. Have you read her Balefire series? They sound good but I've not read them yet.

Anyway starr, I've taken up loads of your time. Take care won't you?

Your friend
Nis xx

Hi Starr, how are you? I haven't heard from you in a while but I thought of you the other day when they started to show Fringe back to back from the beginning on TV Choice on Demand. I remembered you had recommended the show to me. I have so far seen five episodes and am hooked. Happily Sky One is going to show Season 2 from the 11th Octber so hopefully I will have seen the whole of Season One by then.

They are also going to show the second season of the Vampire Diaries from next week too!

What have you been reading lately? September for me was L J Smith month. I read her Forbidden Games trilogy followed by her Dark Visions trilogy. Then I read all nine books of her Night World series. I can honestly say I need a break from her now so I've started Alyxandra Harvey's Drake Chronicles now. Have you heard of them?

Anyway take care Starr, chat soon I hope. Bye xxx

I've been in Savannah for a little over two years. It was the perfect place to set the witch series I always wanted to write! Nice to have a local as a friend on here. I hope you do get a chance to read it and let me know what you think.
Have a good weekend!--Suza

I'm more into Adventures, Sci-fi, and fantasy. Those books that aside from exercising your imagination, you can learn something that can be essential to build your character for instance. ツ
