Book Quotes:

"May you always know a vampire when you see one in the night." - QPK

Easy how-to make ghost lanterns and luminaries.

"Nearly witnessing a vampire’s evil intent to drain a mortal’s life blood, right in front of you, is a horror at worst and awkward at best (if he happens to be family); but, it pales in comparison to thinking that the same beloved soul of eternity might have hit a body bag instead of a castle for the eons." - Nebulizer Potion..

The Nebulizer Potion and the Electric Compass

15 Facts about The Vampire DeAngeliuson trilogy.

OBA Stress and a Prequel

I am, maybe, the dumbest entrant to the Oregon Book Awards.  I knew I was going to enter this year, long ago, yet I am battling the admission information and requirements to the very last.  Ho hum, I'm so dumb - is a little song I wrote this week.  So, I was thrilled when I learned about Kindle pre-orders.  About to finish the third book in my vampire trilogy.  I can upload without worries that there won't be a link to go with my effort like Painting the Castle for the cover - The Nebulizer Potion and the Electric Compass.

Another reason to smile: I now have books for sale at Smashwords.com.  Something I have thought about getting done for a while, now.  So, far, I have The Quill Pen Killer and The Faerie Ring Dance uploaded.  I like the site and all it offers me, as an author.  Please feel free to comment about your experience as a reader, reader-author, too.  Smashwords also offers pre-orders, so when all the hectic OBA duties are done, I will be able to upload more series books as the site distributes to Nook and popular book sellers - even libraries.

Wondering what my entry is going to be?  See its new Facebook page for information.  Page likes always appreciated.

A Cover Updates and an Introduction Videos Promote This Author's Middle Reader, Cyber-Punk, Vampire Book Series

Below is the cover illustration for The Quill Pen Killer, the first children's chapter novel I finished.  I had started The Faerie Ring Dance years ago, when my children were in their cribs.  I didn't finish that tale based on Irish Faerie legend until after The Quill Pen Killer, however.  This 11x17 image lives on the wall at my house.  I recently pulled it off the wall to update the e-book cover, shown here:


The DeAngeliuson Vampire Family Anthology book trailer - a sneak peek at all three e-books with a virtual family tree and images that are supposed to bring to mind a haunted mansion's hall of portraits which introduce characters to be found in the mysteries solved in the seperate books.

"Raven hurries home wondering if he'll stay friends with his childhood pal, Jessica, or if 'vampire'  is just 
too big of an obstacle."

These books are fun, humorous, and filled with mysteries which our heroine, Jessica, must solve. She doesn't much want to be involved in most of the mysteries, or even vampire life for that matter. She's bookish and smart, and simply gets to the matter of 'who did what' quicker than most, and for reasons like these, she ends up 'saving the day' (an oxymoron for an of-the-blood member of things that go bump in the night).
