I also very much enjoy Anne Rice, especially her earlier vampire novels. When I found out that "The Wolves of Midwinter" include references to Teilhard de Chardin I added it to my pre-order list. Looking forward to learning more.<br /><br />Peace,<br />W.

She solved the mystery. She told us how it started. No longer eternal, just long lived.And too much leather and lace 'Lord Byronism'... Contagion goes for brick layers too, you know. But she WAS the first contemporary to revive the genre. That, she did. thanks for sharing.

@Sumiko Yes, I do think that your...Wow, comments! <br /><br />@Sumiko Yes, I do think that your comparison with independently-owned coffee shops makes a lot of sense. Really, any independently-owned bookstore or coffee shop is comparable to self-publishing in that you are guaranteed to get much more passion and enthusiasm than an impersonally owned chain that grinds out the same store across a huge swath of land<br /><br />Also, corporations are really vulnerable to following fads like larger publishers. As much as I love some paranormal romance, there's just too much of the same type of story. With self-publishing, you get more variety and much more creativity. The editing is not always as polished, but the ideas are fresher and the stories are sometimes much more raw. I really love some of the self-published stuff that I've read. Good stories pretty much exist everywhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767924119613122471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561481.post-77127488988840751392013-02-13T22:36:21.339-05:002013-02-13T22:36:21.339-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767924119613122471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561481.post-90712347760367107212013-02-13T21:15:52.698-05:002013-02-13T21:15:52.698-05:00I think you've pretty much nailed it with your...I think you've pretty much nailed it with your review.

But it's risk - it's fun - it's unexpected. It involves taking a chance. That is what I think about self-publishing - it has a lot of DIY, indie cred from a long history of people who sold cassette tapes out of their car trunk and Xerox copied punk fan zines. I love self-publishing.Sumiko Saulsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16806258266098386510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561481.post-58692426653823468132012-12-29T11:34:12.033-05:002012-12-29T11:34:12.033-05:00Your welcome!

Intellectual and stimulating, Anne provides her theory on the "evolution" of the vampire (and her other supernaturals) and this would not be posssible without your structured, probing, and open-ended questions. Wonderfully insightful, especially for her fans where Anne Rice reigns supremely!

And part of Anne Rice Fan Month to boot! <br /><br />WoW!<br /><br />One certainly can't write any sort of vampire literature without being a fan of Anne Rice! I've never followed her more closely than when she made the bold decision to not write from her once atheistic views (or I think that's what she said.) <br /><br />As someone whose faith shapes the way they write, I can say I was completely supportive of this move (not that it really matters but it made me feel good. LOL) <br /><br />I was a bit disappointed when she shared with me once, in an e-mail response, that she'd never write vampire literature again (at least not the way she used to) because it took her to a very dark place that she didn't wish to revisit. <br /><br />I completely understand and respect that stance, again, not that it matters. But oh my! All this can wait for said interview. ;D<br /><br />Also, as a writer clinging to each rail of the publishing ladder as I climb it, I couldn't thank YOU more for your support. It's readers like you who make my dream look more like a reality every stinking day I breath!<br /><br />Ms. Rice has a wonderful fan in you as well. Again, I'm honored for the mention. Thank you so much.Author Sue Denthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15610585940904518767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561481.post-11167796999719845542012-07-30T12:59:38.406-04:002012-07-30T12:59:38.406-04:00Thank you for your review and for being a part of ...Thank you for your review and for being a part of my tour!!Amber Garrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420261264184467442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561481.post-50038964112015915092012-07-30T12:59:06.722-04:002012-07-30T12:59:06.722-04:00Thank you for your review and for being a part of ...Thank you for your review and for being a part of my tour!!Amber Garrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420261264184467442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561481.post-56544100414067702432012-07-19T14:28:58.771-04:002012-07-19T14:28:58.771-04:00I normally have a few grammar errors in my blog po...I normally have a few grammar errors in my blog posts, but thank you for pointing out that fact.

I think you have some really great things to say about the novel even with the flaws that distracted you and it is true that not everyone will enjoy the romantic elements of this book, even though some will. The other books in the series definitely have some more exciting developments and I hope will be less distracting for you. I hope you can enjoy the following books in the series, and I look forward to your review of them. Thank you for having me on the blog today.<br /><br />Mrs. DaleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13326547869296833342noreply@blogger.com
