Next up on our Great Vampire Dispute expedition is Dan Shaurette, author of Lilith's Love. I read Dan's book several years ago when we��first met. I loved the way he combined his wiccan/magick world...

Writing technique poll time!
Rate on a scale of 1(Great) to 5(Hate it)
A. Head-hopping First-person point of view

C. Flashbacks (in chapter or as whole chapters themselves)
D. Strict or mostly chronological order to the story
E. Less chronological order, or weaving multiple storylines together

I'm curious as to what readers think of these? Which do you like, tolerate, or despise. I'd also like to know what my fellow authors choose to use in their stories.

Emerian Rich is putting together a new anthology, but this is mostly DIY projects and ideas. I'll be adding my Morbid Meals. If you would like to submit for it, here's the details.

Submissions call for: Horror Addicts Guide to Life Hey horror addicts we are ready to start work on our third anthology which we are going to call: The Horror Addicts Guide To Life. The idea for this book is for it to be like a self-help book for people… [ 556 more words. ]

So May has already seen some writing mojo on my two secret sci-fi projects. Today, however, has brought forth a new story that bridges BLACK MAGIC to LILITH'S LOVE (and its sequels). That story is called BLACK MASS and it is "based on a true story". Yup, the Harvard Black Mass happening tonight. *evil cackle*

I have a question for all of my readers, and book readers in general. I am thinking about offering a tiered price structure for my next book. 99 cents for a Y/A version vs $3.99 for an "R-rated" version. Both would be versions of a Victorian murder mystery. The Y/A version wouldn't pull any punches, however, the other version would show all of the gore and violence and go into the serial killer's head.

I can't add a poll apparently, so please leave a comment or like to let me know what you think. Also, is anyone aware of an author who has already attempted something like this?

BLACK MAGIC is now available for download at LeanPub.com as a PDF, ePub, and Mobi/Kindle, or you can also grab the eBook with the MP3 of the serialized full cast audio! A (large) part of the proceeds will be donated to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. https://leanpub.com/blackmagic
