Vampire.com helps you out..
Here at Vampires.com we have a lot of first time authors contact us to either review or feature their book (something we are always happy to do), and with them I have learned a few dos and don’ts – which brings you today’s post. Here are a few pointers that may help you guys out with your publishing dreams.
1. E-Books: E-books are incredibly popular nowadays, especially with self-publishing authors. I understand that printing books is expensive, but, not everyone owns an e-book reader and few people enjoy reading an entire book off of their computer. Only having a PDF file is going to make it VERY hard to find someone to review your book. Personally, I refuse to read them. Yes, I want to review your book, but there’s no way I’m going to sit at my computer for hours to do so. So keep this in mind when you’re getting ready to publish your novel.

The 10 Most Disturbing ‘True Blood’ Sex Scenes
#1 Bill and Lorena in the 1920s
In the 1920s Bill and his maker, Lorena, found a rich couple, murdered them, drank their blood, then made love on the blood-soaked sheets with the fresh corpses right beside them. It was a scene so horrific and explicit that, like the bloody sheets, my memory is forever stained. Wall Street Journal thinks maybe Sookie is a mermaid :‘True Blood’ Season 3, Episode 9: ‘Everything is Broken’
Early on in this week’s ‘True Blood,’ Sookie admonishes Bill that normal couples don’t stumble upon dead bodies in their houses. Normal couples sit on the sofa and watch TV, Bill retorts. In its own way, “Everything is Broken” wrestles with the constraints of normalcy in a hyper-real setting.
True Blood continues to try our patience — Must we get hit over the head every single time Jason has a line? But after last week’s amped up senselessness, this episode was more quietly paced, and mixed in a few human moments against some camp vamp escapades.
Sookie and Bill: The sensuous blood-and-water sequence that opens the episode reminds us of ‘Silkwood’ meets ‘Red Shoe Diaries’. Cue the ‘Psycho’ reference: Bill’s hand reaching for Sookie’s neck startles her, and blood swirls down the drain. They find a dead were body, and Bill goes for a tarp.
They bicker over what’s normal for them. Keeping a file on your girlfriend? Not cool, Sooks says. But I just wanted to protect you. I’m not a thing to be protected, she says, finally sounding like season one Sookie.

'True Blood': Finally, a 24-hour news channel I'd watch
I think it's now official. I would vote for Russell Edgington for president.
Sure, he'd probably place me under the subjugation of a race of vampire overlords, but, man, he's one charismatic dude, and he sure knows a way to make his point in a memorable fashion. Indeed, the last scene of this episode was one of the best the show has ever done, and that was almost all due to Denis O'Hare's performance as Russell. Sure, the speech he was handed was well-written, and the moment as conceived was such a brutally shocking one, but O'Hare had to make all of this come together, and he reminded me of just why he's become the most fascinating "True Blood" villain to date. This was the kind of shocking TV moment people will be talking about for years to come, and everyone involved carried it off with absolute aplomb.
American Vampire League spokeswoman Nan Flanagan is in her limo, driving on her way to the airport to head for Oregon to try and drum up support for a vampire rights bill. She's been in Bon Temps to try to suss out why, exactly, Eric killed Talbot and try to bring him back under the sway of the Authority. After she finally lays the problem of what to do with Russell at Eric's feet and tries to wash her hands of the whole mess, it seemingly becomes obvious that Russell is going to make Nan the next target of his campaign of terror, after killing the Magister a few weeks ago. It certainly helps that she's in the midst of a romantic moment with a lovely young lady, all the more unlikely to be ready should Russell somehow invade the limousine. Above her, the TV babbles on about the rights amendment and how Oregon is the latest battleground, the anchor distilling the story as much for the people of the world of "True Blood" as for the viewers at home.

Go ask Andy ? On True Blood last night who was the newscaster that Russell killed on air ?
This is the email they sent ..
I quickly looked up the actor in question.
His name is John Burke, and he's credited in TWO episodes as Jerry
McCafferty
- Everything Is Broken <http://www.imdb.com/title/- I Got a Right to Sing the Blues <http://www.imdb.com/title/
His credit list includes numerous appearances on other TV shows ...as a
newscaster! LOL
http://www.imdb.com/name/
Brian and I know him best from an amazing show called "America's Pshychic
Challenge" that was on Lifetime network:
http://www.mylifetime.com/
Too bad that Anderson Cooper didn't do it. ;)
Here was the casting call
Casting call:
[FAMOUS NEWSCASTER] Male, 40s – 50s. Seen on TV, “the most famous newscaster we can get”. 1 speech, 1 scene.
True Blood star, Stephen Moyer bares all
One might consider, with all that excitement, their off-screen relationship, presumably devoid of blood-drinking, vampire killing or supernatural sex, would seem comparably dull.
Not necessarily so. If you ask Moyer, 40, who appreciates the everyday minutia of life with his betrothed, even the milestone many men fear - meeting one's future mother-in-law - was approached with enthusiasm.
"It was late last year," he said. "I flew to Wellington to meet her mum for the first time. Without Anna."

Sweet and Deadly by Charlaine Harris
..Sweet and Deadlywas the debut novel of Charlaine Harris, so I now feel like I have read her backwards. It is nice to find the starting point and to see how her writing has changed over the years. It is almost 30 years since this was first published, and it is vastly different from the Southern Vampire Mysteries for which she is best known.
Catherine Linton returned home after the death of both her parents in a car accident. Except, it wasn’t an accident as someone had tampered with their car, and, although she hasn’t realized it yet, Catherine won’t rest until the person responsible has had what is due to them.

True Blood' Saturdays: 'You killed my Cooter!' LA Times
Wow.
Some of you REALLY disagreed with me that last week's "True Blood" episode was stuck in the mud and not going anywhere. I heard from you in comments, in e-mail and every other possible way. One of you even wrote a blog post about how stupid I was!
I'm not complaining; I love this kind of response. And it must be said that it's fun to argue like this about the show, about what it is and what it should be. Keep sending me those thoughts because you guys are smart and passionate fans of this show, and it's always fun to read just what it is that you think, even when you fiercely disagree with me. That said, let's toss it to you guys and see if you can change my mind on the ultimate worth of last week's episode.

True Blood’s Marshall " Tommy" Allman on Alan Ball
As Tommy, the impoverished younger brother to Sam (Sam Trammell) on True Blood, Marshall Allman plays a shapeshifting character who’s still licking wounds from a family that forced him into dogfighting. Talking to Allman himself, however, is the furthest thing from a grim experience. The hilarious 26-year-old called up Movieline this week to chat about getting in shape, the tabloid treatment of his former Prison Break costar Wentworth Miller, and the lengths Mad Men showrunner Matthew Weiner went to during Allman’s guest appearance.
You’ve been done with shooting this season for a while now, right?
Oh yeah, man. I’ve got a beard and long hair and everything.
