Here’s what the Village Voice has to say about the TV show I’m taping on Sunday, March 18th:

Romance, Vampires & Sexual Freedom
Vampires in love don’t have it easy: They can only hook-up at night, they can’t go out for anything too garlicky, and those fangs are only sexy if you’re into BDSM. We’re not even sure how they’re going to survive during this daytime taping of Romance, Vampires & Sexual Freedom on Fruta Extraña TV’s “Caliente con Dr. Charley Ferrer,” but apparently “real vampires” will be joining Caridad Piñeiro (author of Death Calls) and ANoN (creator of the erotic vampire role-playing game Midnight Seduction) to discuss relationships among the undead. And they need a live studio audience. Maybe it’s a trap, but at least you’ll get fed too by Havana Central restaurant. (Ashman)

So what’s this all about? Is it really a trap to get you unsuspecting readers in for a bite or are we really filming a TV show?

What wicked things do I have for you today? It could be a deleted bit from a novel or a never-seen-before wickedly new scene. It could also be something wicked which tickles my funny bone, like this totally fun link that Deb Maher, one of my NJRW buddies, was kind enough to pass on.

What’s this link all about? Does this give you a clue?

As I mentioned yesterday, Tuesdays will be Tip Tuesdays! Every Tuesday, look for tips on writing, cooking or whatever else may strike my fancy or yours. Have something you’d like to see? Maybe a tip about websites or other things? Feel free to let me know.

For today, a special blog for my Edison B&N Writing Group who is sweating the query letter (don’t we all?) Thanks to my friend and fellow author — Lois Winston — for contributing these tips.

My sister and I headed to Philly for the annual Flower Show today. We took a friend with us who had never been there and we had a great time. The show was very busy today, though. More people than in the past few years.

We toured the displays and they were mobbed. The theme this year was Legends of Irelend as you may be able to guess from these photos. We walked around for a few hours, grabbed a quick bite in Reading Terminal and then returned to the show to buy a few things.

If you love gardens and flowers and are in the area, you really should try to get to the show.

So I was busy surfing the net and ran across an entry by Alex Valente about his appearance on the cover of BLOOD CALLS. Here’s a link to his site (http://www.alexvalente.com) and one of the pictures on the site down below. Pretty hunky, don’t you think? Plus, he’s really nice. I e-mailed about using the picture and he answered right away and was quite nice.

Is this how you pictured Diego (originally in TEMPTATION CALLS, now the hero in BLOOD CALLS)?
