On Moms & Vamps

I saw this Taylor Swift video last night and while it’s a bit sappy I think it’s a beautiful, touching dedication to her mother and family. They must be so proud of her!

Last week, I had dinner with my best friend, Z, and we discussed The Twilight Saga Collection (she’s yet to read them) and HBO’s True Blood and the whole vampire madness. She convinced me to read Vamped: A Novel by David Sosnowski and Little Deaths by Ellen Datlow. She also sent me a notice to be an extra on the show (woo hoo! I hope they call me).

In the spirit of that conversation, I am going to post a Q&A with contemporary fiction writer, Marta Acosta, author of Happy Hour at Casa Dracula, Midnight Brunch (Casa Dracula Series, Book 2) and The Bride of Casa Dracula (Casa Dracula, Book 3). If you have any questions for her, you would like me to ask please email them to me.
