Topic: RE: Dose anyone else like Vampire Books?
I just finished "A Discovery of Witches" by Deborah Harkness. It's about witches, vampires, and daemons, oh my! It's the first of a trilogy. Book 2 won't be out until 2012 unfortunately.

Lyndia,
Not anything specific as far as series in Fantasy. hehe Just if something catchs my eye then I pick it up. I have read the whole Dune series (even those written by his son), and they are fab. Melanie Rawn is a wonderful author that a friend suggested to me too. I like the Jane Auel "Earth's Children" series too. That's caveman/prehistoric though. So I like a LOT of different genres as you can tell. hehe
Bravo for you and your writting! I have written since I was 12. It's a wonderful outlet for me.

Lyndia,
It's not a hard and fast rule (the 27 days), but generally it's the one that is used as a starting point. At the LEAST 27 days to change a habit. The best way to elimentate a habit is to replace it with a GOOD habit. EX: late afternoon eating for me was HORRIBLE to break! I now pop in my stick of sugar free gum and go to town chewing it instead of food.

Lynda,
I was able to understand most of it. It is a hard read, but well worth the effort! Dickins is a wonderful writer. I'm now hunting for Bleak House as suggested by another poster.

Topic: RE: Nora Roberts
She is very good...and very prolific. I think she churns out something like four novels a year. Which is something considering that some authors take years to write their novels.
Her stories are all kind of the same: protagonist is running away from his or her past and comes to a new town. There is a murder mystery and the main character finds love. There you have it.
But she writes the books so well and the mysteries are so engaging, you can't help but get drawn in to them. I think I liked Carolina Moon the best. The whole psychic angle was cool.

What kinds of fantasy? Dungeons and Dragons type? You should check out Holly Lisle. She writes a lot of fantasy. I actually discovered her when I was trying to learn to write. Now, I'm enrolled in a year-long writing course that she offers. She really has a lot to offer, both in her fiction, and in her writing articles. Go check her out. You can read excerpts from her novels right on her site: www.hollylisle.com.

Don't forget Anne Rice! You know, Interview with the Vampire? She's written a ton of vampire books.
