A.V. being AFTER VAMPIRES!
Does the Twilight Trilogy mark the end of the Vampire Era, or just the beginning? Call me Old School or Old Fashioned but I associate vampire-driven romance with erotica and "highly-sensual" subject matter. Absolutely, 100% nothing wrong with that. Mind you, I think there's plenty of erotica and sensuality to go around in historical romance, too. I'm just wondering if there will be any romance left after the vampires have sucked the blood out of every romance genre today? What's next? I'm curious about where creative romantics will go next with their literary pens.
As I see it, right now with vampire romance, there's no such thing as writing a credible story, since, with vampire romance you are sent into a world of fantasy, asked to suspend belief at every turn of the page or press of the kindle cursor. Right now, this is what the market is selling and this is what the reading public is buying. No argument here. I'm looking forward to seeing ECLIPSE and suspending belief along with everybody else! My question is only that I wonder where this will next lead us.
Into the surreal future or back to the real past?
Food for thought ... for vampires and cave-dwellers, alike.

Hey Girlfriend!
I was just in Border's and saw your book on the shelf :-)
Interesting blog today. I have never been a vampire fan until recently when I picked up my first J.R. Ward book and started watching True Blood on Hobo. Holy vampires Bat Girl! I've been fanged! I LOVE it! Never thought I would but I do.
However, I LOVE a good old fashioned emotional blast-to-the-past romance. Nothing spells L-O-V-E better.
I am about to go to work on my own paranormal which will probably be more of a "with romantic elements" kind of book--I think. But it will be about Naiads. :-) Hope you will consider reading it if it is ever published.
Take care sweetness and would love to see you!
BTW, we lost our Spike on May 14th to a stroke. This past Sunday we acquired two new babies--Pilot and Max. We're so excited to have fur babies in the house again. :)))

Joanne, i think the 'Vampire Era' will certainly not end. I think there is a niche readers for the subject. Personally i really enjoy reading such stuff
