I have ordered it, and hope to be able to enjoy reading it very soon...

[EbonySilvers]

Thank you, Pixie! ;D ;D I just hope you enjoy it!

Hey, PM me your address and I'll send you an autographed book mark for it!

[Pixie]

*goofy grin* thank you! Have PM'd you my addy. ;D

[marilyn]

Well, I ordered my copy, too....almost did the download thingy, but this stupid computer can barely make it here, much less let me get a book on it! I'm looking forward to reading it, Ebs!

[EbonySilvers]

Cool! Thank you both. Please be sure and let me know what you think of it. I'm working on the sequel so feedback could make a difference!

Ok I admit Im thick. I've checked the link and it says order trade paperback,(Though there is no link to buy) I thought it wasnt available this way. I just cannot read a book online nor can I read one printed out (I know its supposed to be the same, but it doesnt work for me) so is it available in paperback or will it ever be?

[EbonySilvers]

Yes, HobbitAZ, it is a paperback book. If you do the one that says Trade Size paperback you will get a real paperback book (Mine just came yesterday). Click the "BookSurge" button. It is also available on Amazon.com. The easiest way is to do a name search for T. D. McKinney. Again, order the one from BookSurge through Amazon rather than Amazon alone - it's cheaper and you get it faster (BookSurge is the printer, btw).

Darn cant order from UK amazon would of given a % to the HMS charity of it did, but never mind I order it from the US anyway. The book sounds good and wanted to support you on this.

If any other UK person is intrested dont panic its still isntthat expensive it only cost £13.00 in total. Bit more than we would pay for a paperback ,but it is one of us so its worth it

[EbonySilvers]

HobbitAZ, thank you so much for the support. I really appreciate it!

[Ditto]

It's on it's way...

[nightnurse]

Just ordered mine too...can't wait ;D

Well, you guys can make more room on your shelves --

I sold a novel to eXtasy Books Tuesday night! It's titled "Vampire Encounters: Second Chances." Grin along with me here - it's the story of Samantha Bailey's search for real love. And I use the word "real" with great intent. Sam is a programmer in Odessa, Texas with a life that's going nowhere really fast. She's cut herself off from almost everyone and everything but the romance novels she reads. Her best friend Lurleen (who won't allow Sam to push her away) advises her to quit dreaming of fictional heroes, especially one very nice vampire named Cole Grayson, and find herself a real man. As if that's not bad enough, the author of the vampire novel series Sam loves just killed off Cole - permanently! Sam is heartbroken until she's thrown into the world of the novel, meets Cole, and well, you all can imagine! If she can just get use to having a telepathic bond with her vampire lover, manage not to get killed by his murderous ex-girlfriend, and convince herself that it's okay to love a fictional guy, she may be alright.

Yes, darlings, I have turned the classic Mary-Sue scenario into a pro book. I love doing that sort of thing!

[Ditto]

Where the heck did you get the name Lurleen? So, can we buy that too then? Can I have an autographed bookmark Ebs please?

[Pixie]

Dancing in the dark has arrived, but, silly bint that I am, I forgot to bring it home, so it's still in its packing at my parents' house. When I'll get around to reading it I don't know... I'll prolly have your next one lined up before I get round to it, lol!

[EbonySilvers]

Anybody who wants an autographed bookmark just needs to email or IM me their address and I'll send them one. Ditto - I have your addy, dear, of course.

The new one, Vampire Encounters will be released only as an e-book. Sorry, Dit. You'll have to download it. The one in December will be a paperback. LOL - I have a group of cousins whose names all end in the "-een" sound. Katrine, Viveen, Lurleen, Maxine. When the youngest girl was born, one of the family wits quipped, "So are you going to name this one Vasaline or Kerosen?" They named her Valeere.

Marilyn, I'm trying to find a weekend to fly down to NO - I had hoped it would be this month but it looks like it will be Dec.

LMAO at Pixie!

[EbonySilvers]

As soon as the bookmarks come from the printer, I'll send them out.

Hey - look what I found about the first e-book, "In the Lonely Dead of Midnight" on LoveRomances.com:

"Another in eXtasy’s Tarot series, this story is inspired by the Knight of Cups. This is the Knight of love: dreamy, sensitive and moody. On the negative side, he should be watched for depression. He’s fiercely loyal to anyone he loves, including family.

Love at first sight, this is what Chance Dubois felt as he lay dying and looked into the eyes of a woman who found him after he had been shot. Receiving a vampire’s kiss, he returned to this world. But his soul found no rest and continued to haunt the place of his death. A demon had possessed his body in the meantime. When hearing of hauntings, Chance and his new-found family go to investigate, and find Chance’s ghost still looking for his love. And his love is the wife of the vampire that changed him.

This story will remain with you long after you have read it. Vividly haunting, wonderfully written, T. D. McKinney explores the love that survives even death and the hereafter. Some readers may find the relationship between Chance and his brother Julian distasteful, but there is nothing at all graphic about it. The only sex scenes are between the ghost and his love, and they are very sensual and romantic. The reader will be drawn into the story from the very first page. Good characterization and a good plot will keep the reader turning the pages. Although a short story, Ms. McKinney has packed a lot in and the story is well rounded and complete. This reviewer enjoyed this remarkable story very much and highly recommends it.

I love feedback!

*grin* looking forward to this!

I just found out I have been inducted into the North Texas Professional Writers Association. This is not as easy as it sounds - you have to submit an application/questionaire with a sample of your writing. Then you have to pass their board of officers, then you have to be voted on by the general membership -- and the vote to accept you must be unanimous! If you aren't accepted you have to wait at least 6 months before you can reapply. This is my second try. I am member number 13! I like that number. It's so me.

Seriously, it's a good group to be in. Several published authors and editors, all in different genres. So the pros think I'm a pro! Am happy! ;D ;D

[Pixie]

Congrats, Ebs! That's really great news! ;D
Have started reading DitD - liking it so far. Definitely my kind of thing... I like detective fiction, I like vampires... match made in heaven
