An Avalanche of Undead News

During the past two months I've been revising and polishing two separate manuscripts, which I've now turned in to my agent. Therefore, I desperately need to catch up on the avalanche of vampire news cascading into my inbox. Here are some of the items that have been coming my way:

Comic-Con

San Diego's annual festival of all things dark, fantastic, and—yes—even geeky is now in full swing and runs through the weekend (the final day is July 24). Highlights for vampire fans include a preview of Underworld: Awakening, a True Blood panel, and a Q&A session called "Vampires and Others: How do you make a relationship work when you or your significant other lack a pulse or face other mortal-challenged issues?" For full details, head to www.comic-con.org.

Bloodletting.org

Bloodletting.org is a new text-based, role-playing game with a vampire theme, played by people from across the globe. Players develop personalities for their characters through interaction with other players in various forums. Stories are told, shared, role played, and expanded upon. 

Rebirth by Sophie Littlefield

I interviewed Littlefield about her young adult novel, Banished, last fall, and Rebirth, the second installment of her apocalyptic zombie series for adults, is now available from Luna Books. All Things Urban Fantasy says of the novel, "Rebirth is part The Walking Dead, part The Road, and part something totally new and engrossing... You need to read this book. You will be disturbed, you will be compelled, and you will not be the same."  Check out SophieLittlefield.com.
