No Longer Updating the Site

Dear Vampire Friends,

I've had such a blast bringing you interviews, giveaways, and vampire news over the past 5 1/2 years, but I'm afraid this will be my last post for the blog. I'm swamped with preparations for my upcoming book release, as well as my new writing projects and a new blog I just launched for YA and middle-grade historical fiction.

I will try to keep my Upcoming Vampire Movies & Series list up-to-date, but that will probably be the only signs of life you'll see over here. However, my archives will remain available, so feel free to peruse past posts. I've had so many wonderful authors, filmmakers, musicians, and actors stop by to visit over the years that I'd hate to bury their words for good.

Thank you for hanging out with me here in the burbs!

IN THE SHADOW OF BLACKBIRDS Cover Reveal

To explain why I've been abandoning Suburban Vampire, I'll share one of the primary reasons I've been busy:

 

In 1918, the world seems on the verge of apocalypse. Americans roam the streets in gauze masks to ward off the deadly Spanish influenza, and the government ships young men to the front lines of a brutal war, creating an atmosphere of fear and confusion. Sixteen-year-old Mary Shelley Black watches as desperate mourners flock to séances and spirit photographers for comfort, but she herself has never believed in ghosts. During her bleakest moment, however, she’s forced to rethink her entire way of looking at life and death, for her first love—a boy who died in battle—returns in spirit form. But what does he want from her?

Featuring haunting archival early-twentieth-century photographs, this is a tense, romantic story set in a past that is eerily like our own time.

Coming April 2013 from Amulet Books/Abrams.
