Everyone, FYI - my publisher is
offering a special on the first book in
the Demonborn series, Insatiable
Desire, for $1.99 ebook so you can
order it at any online store this month
for a bargain.

Kerri,
I found it but will have to get it to my
web mistress for her to post so check out
my site next week for it.

Hi, Louise,
Oh, goodness, I'm blushing! Now if I
could clone you a million times, you
and Roberta!

glad to see you here!

Kay,
How interesting. My mother
sometimes has "feelings" that come
true. And I've had repeated dreams of
my father after he passed.

You should keep a journal of all of
them. I've really been intrigued by
listening to a lot of stories from Sylvia
Browne and also people who ask her
questions on talk shows.

Roberta,
Thanks for letting me know about ID - I
so appreciate your support!

Kelli,
Oh, my goodness - I've read about a
bridge like that, and what a spooky
story about the sign.
I actually put the Cry Baby Bridge in
one of my proposals and my agent
thought it was too unreal! I may try it
again though.

Teresa,
I love that show, too. Have it on DVD and
a few more to watch!

Cherie,
I love Louisiana. My daughter is
moving to New Orleans in a couple of
weeks, and although I've been there
before, I'm looking forward to going
again and seeing the sites - I love the
old graveyards and voodoo!

Vicki,
I love KY - my best friend and critique
partner is from there and my sister-
in-law lives in LaGrange.
And I've been to Gatlingburg, too. I"m
a GA girl and there's actually several
small towns around me that have
haunted houses.

Re: Dark Hunger (4:19pm August 5, 2009):

Kerri,
Writing a series can be challenging. I
love series though and tend to think in
series concepts.
The Nighthawk Island series I did for
Intrigue was a little easier because the
books were very loosely connected,
mostly by this research center, so I
didn't have to lead one book into the
other all the time or keep up with too
many details.
I try to keep a Bible of characters,
places, etc. I use in a series to keep
details consistent. It's also easier if
you write the stories closer together as
sometimes after working on a project
in between, I forget.
Sometimes it's challenging to make
the heroes or characters or storyline
different enough, but that's also true
of writing different books.

I'm sure if the right premise strikes
you, you could do it. I actually do a
workshop on series writing and have
an article on it (I think it's on my
website. If not, I'll dig it up and post it
if you're really interested.

Crystal,
Ohh, gives me goosebumps and so many
ideas...Did you ever find out what
happened to him?
Rita

Re: Dark Hunger (4:13pm August 5, 2009):

Melissa,
Oh, my gosh. How cool. I'm actually
working on a series set around a
haunted mental hospital! My
inspiration - my twin sister and I were
actually born in one - LOL> They did
have wings for other patients but at
the time the hospital was known as
the state mental asylum.
Rita

Re: Dark Hunger (10:24am August 5, 2009):

Hi, Stacey,

How interesting -- and spooky! I love
to write about the paranormal but if
that had happened to me, I'd probably
be spooked!

Thanks for sharing.
Rita
