Oh, I hope she loves it! Raphael is very cool (IMHO_LOL!)

Re: Detour to Dusk (10:32pm April 28, 2013):

Sorry- I was gone for a while watching Game of Thrones! Talk about your dark fantasy!
Anyway- I really want to thank everyone who stopped by today~ and I would love to introduce you to all of my characters! There is Naomi, in Story Time and, Sara, in The War of Odds. Last, but not least, I hope you have a chance to meet Onio- my quarter/human Sasquatch!
All of my novels can be found on Amazon... and if you're bored and lonely come over to the SS Wordsmyth (a discussion thread in the Meet Our Authors Forum, on Amazon) There are wonderful readers and writers of the paranormal, science fiction and fantasy!
Thanks again! Linell Jeppsen

Thank you so much! Now I'm all red-LOL!

Re: Detour to Dusk (6:00pm April 28, 2013):

Thanks so much! I have always loved fantasy and vampires appeal to my darker, mystical side.
I also love to camp, and one of my favorite places to camp out is Swan Lake here in the Northeast mountains of Washington State!
I am gaining a fan base here in my hometown, but some folks are ticked at me because every time they head up to the lake to fish and swim, they feel the need to check the trees for vampires... Mwuhahahahaha!

Re: Detour to Dusk (4:50pm April 28, 2013):

Yes- for sure- Actually, although I tease about no sparkles on my vamps, I really did enjoy the Twilight novels... and The Vampire Diaries- and The Brotherhood books!

Re: Detour to Dusk (3:31pm April 28, 2013):

Thank you! Like I mentioned earlier, this novel was written over 20 years ago (before Twilight), right after I finished reading most of Anne Rice's books.
There is a more traditional approach going on with Detour that you might find refreshing.

I so appreciate your enthusiastic comments and wish everyone well!

Re: Detour to Dusk (2:22pm April 28, 2013):

Thank you! You know what- more mature readers (and men, surprisingly) really seem to like this novel. The people in the campground are just like you and me... normal, everyday folks who get caught up in an epic conflict. There is a lot of magic, and spirituality that drive the plot-line but the people are merely human... and sadly, no match for the power and majesty of these ancient beings.
If you have the time- go to my book page and read some of the many 4 and 5 star reviews. Also, check out the art...if you look closely, you can see the wings on Raul's back.

Hi everyone! I was out of town visiting family and just got back home- I wanted to thank you for your comments! I wrote this novel over 20 years ago and, honestly, it never occurred to me that my vampires might sparkle, or that vampires might become sex symbols... this is traditional folklore with a twist! No, my vamps don't sleep in coffins, or burn up in the sun but they DO like their blood! LOL!
