Music Monday: The Suburban Vampire 4th-Anniversary Edition!!!

I first tiptoed into the world of blogging four years ago today with a timid little post titled "Blogger Newbie."  At the time I was finishing up a manuscript about a vampire who tries to fit into Southern California suburbia.

The manuscript found an agent but didn't land a publishing contract.  Meanwhile, the Vampire Film Festival published an excerpt of the book, and I kept blogging and writing.

Fast forward four years: Suburban Vampire now has a lovely following, I'm still with my agent, and another one of my manuscripts will soon make the rounds to publishers (very soon, actually).

To celebrate my four-year anniversary in the blogosphere, I'm heading back to the very first vampire song I ever shared on Suburban Vampire: "Vampire" by Antsy Pants.  The tune gained some fame in the closing credits of Juno in 2007. I enjoy the song because it's peppy—not your typical mood for vampire music—even though the lyrics entail a vampire who's lost his fangs.



Thanks to everyone who's joined me during the past four years! I'll keep playing in vampire suburbia until you or I become tired of the undead.

I wish you luck on your manuscript and hope a publisher picks it up!

Now I am the newbie to the blogosphere...at least at having a personal blog anyway.

Thank, Aislinn! The fun thing about being a newbie is anything is possible.
