The New Vampire?

[alanajoli]

Egads, June is just flying by! I can't believe we're almost at the end of the month.

My mother and cousins were visiting last week, which was wonderful; we had a wonderful time at Chez Abbott, and also doing local things like taking a Thimble Island Cruise (always one of my favorite things to take guests on). Of course, having company is always problematic for keeping your regular schedule -- my family is so much more *interesting* than my to do list. So I'm catching up on e-mail and the new assignments that just came in (yay work!).

I did turn in an article for Flames Rising's Vampire Week celebration. More on that when it's been accepted, but in the mean time, you can check out vampire related interviews and reviews. This counts toward my Kaz Summer Camp reviews, which is a good thing, since I didn't make progress anywhere else this past week!

Of course, while we're celebrating vampires, The Onion says they're on the way out. Check out the article on what's going to be the "new" vampire.

Considering that urban fantasy / teen romance has now thoroughly mined the main oil well of Anne Rice's work (the vamps), I expect they'll be moving on to the oil shales of the Witches series, and the offshore repositories of The Mummy.

I shudder to think of the day someone turns to her Beauty stories for reference, though.

Err, except that you don't mine oil wells. Tapped them? Drilled for them?

Apologies for my incoherent exhaustion.

*shudder* indeed...
