The Reformed Vampire Support Group

Do you want to turn on a teenager to a good vampire book, one that's highly recommended and reviewed.
How about one that made YALSA Top 10 Best Book for Young Adults for 2010?
( this is a list by American Library Association )

Are you a teen vampire who has been permanently fifteen ever since you got fanged in 1973? Do you still live with your mother, who has continued to age, and is now in her 70’s? Does the thought and sight of blood make you feel physically sick, and does your diet consist of the blood of guinea pigs, which you can barely keep down without throwing it up soon afterwards? No? And you think you have problems coping as a teenager? Just think what sorts of problems you might have if you’d answered “Yes!” to the questions I just posed, and your name was Nina Harrison, of Australia. You would have to attend weekly meetings of a reformed vampire support group, like in Catherine Jinks’s highly entertaining, funny, suspenseful, and memorable novel, The Reformed Vampire Support Group.

Nina is stuck in a time warp, her bedroom staying much as it was the night she attended a party (including her having a poster of David Bowie on the wall), walked outside, and got fanged by a vampire named Casimir. Casimir is responsible for most of the vampires in Australia. He is also a member of Nina’s support group of vampires who fight the temptation to drink human blood.

Vampire Diaries live from the Paley

7:04 PM - Tonight's archival clip is from the 2001 musical episode of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer." Hard to imagine "The Vampire Diaries" ever having Stefan and Damon break into song but Joss Whedon made it work so who knows!

7:08 PM - The Paley Center's Craig Hitchcock ushers in night seven of the festival and brings out TV Guide's Craig Tomashoff, who drops several vampire phrases in his depiction of the cultural phenomenon that is "The Vampire Diaries."

7:12 PM - After a few chuckles about how the show doesn't... wait for it... suck, Craig brings out series creator Kevin Williamson who doesn't waste any time in introducing the newest episode "A Few Good Men," which will air on March 25 on the CW. The audience isn't shy about showing their excitement to see the new episode.

Alexander Skarsgard is LA Times' Millennium Man


Alexander Skarsgard is heralded as the “Millennium Man” in the latest issue of the LA Times Magazine.

The 33-year-old True Blood actor talked about his ego-free personality. He shared, “I’m not a ‘Hollywood’ actor. I am a social guy, but I’m not one of those actors who will show up to a shoot with 15 agents and managers and publicists. An entourage like that just makes me uncomfortable.”

Watch the video below of Alex talking about growing into his own skin as an actor. And read the full interview at LATimesMagazine.com!

True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard: 'Fame scared me'

The True Blood vampire reveals all about the show as well as fame, nudity and Lady Gaga.

What’s the best thing about playing Eric, the 1000-year-old Viking vampire in True Blood?
"As an actor, the last thing I want to play is a typical handsome leading man. It’s always great when you play a complicated character like Eric."

So there’s more to him than just biting necks?
"In the first series, people thought he was just a bad guy, but there’s a lot more to him than meets the eye. We’re now seeing his loyal, caring and sensitive side. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still the same old Eric – there’s just more to him than being an evil vampire."

Why do you think True Blood is so successful?
"It’s over-the-top, wild, sexy and funny. Viewers can also look at the vampires and draw parallels with our society in terms of alienation and prejudice."

Do you have a problem with the show’s sex and violence?
"It’s pretty full-on and very graphic and gory, but sex and violence are always something that attracts an audience. I don’t have any problems with getting naked."

Q&A with True Blood author Charlaine Harris

AMERICAN author Charlaine Harris is best known for vampires-in-the-deep-south True Blood novels featuring heroine Sookie Stackhouse. On Wednesday, she's signing books in Nottingham.

What inspired you to start writing vampire/supernatural stories? Is the deep south really that spooky or did you grow up watching Hammer Horror films?

I had reached a crossroads in my career, and decided to write something different. It seemed interesting to write about a young woman who was dating a vampire. Any region of the US can seem creepy, I'm sure; I just specialise in the south.

You've created a world of "supes" although the fairies have gone. (I'll miss 'em, I love the way you gave them Irish names). Are there any new beings to come?

In the next book there's an incidental character who's of another race. And there are still some fairies hanging around. Hope you enjoy them.

What did you think of the True Blood TV version and were you able to have any input in the series? (They did seem to go overboard on the sex.)

Stephen Moyer talks wolves

Very cool - Many of you may remember that Dean the dog, the possum and Tina the cat all came from Boone's Animal http://www.boonesanimals.com actors from Los Angeles.

Their website doesn't show that they have wolf actors but here are a couple of other animal acting groups that show wolf pack actors. One of these might be providing the wolves for next years True Blood. How gorgeous they are...

Amazing Animals

We're a close knit family of Timber Wolves named Nova, Sierra, Dakota, Glacier, and Timber. Some people ask us why we have such great manners and social skills...well, we were raised by a pack of humans! Whether you want to practice your airbrush skills painting us howling at a full moon or place us in an Academy Award nominated feature film like Sean Penn's Into the Wild, we're the wolves for the job. We love being together, running in the open, long walks, and gazing into motion picture or HD cameras. Don't be fooled by hybrids or wolf look-a-likes, we're the real deal, as you can see in any of these fun projects we've worked on: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno My Super Sweet 16 Eco-Skin Clothing Nova starred in a History Channel special on were-wolves./

Animal Actors

We have a wonderful pack of wolves. Here are just some of their credits: Never Cry Wolf, LadyHawk, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Wolf, Road to Wellsville, Several Jungle Books, Out on a Limb, Frightnight, Clan of the Cave Bear, The Kindred, Peaceable Kingdom, Bring Em Back Alive, Manimal, Fantasy Island, Hulk, Mountain Family Robinson, Aviator, Kelly, Sea Gypsies, Starman, Shadow Chasers, Lucan, The Phoenix, Wizards, Wolf Boy, Quest For Fire, Phantom, Fire and Ice, Hambone and Hillie, House of Frankenstein, Panasonic commercial and Craftsman Tool commercial.
