There's an interesting piece over at B&N on the staying power of vampire fiction, I Vant to Suck Your Blood

It always fascinates me that the writers in SF & F (and sometimes horror) seem to have such disdain for vampire fiction (if they're not writing it themselves).
As you know, I love a good vampire novel (I've sold at least 200, and bought another 25 at RR). I believe you can never be too rich or too thin, or have too many vampire novels.
I'm reading the manuscript of WOMEN OF THE BITE edited by Cecilia Tan right now, and it just amazes me how fluid (pardon the pun there) the vampire mythos is.

7 Books Sold Since Lasted I Posted
I've been a bad girl (you'd think that would be the lead for my other blog). I've sold 7 books in the last three weeks, and failed to tell you about the sales.
To my utter amazement, these last three weeks have been extremely busy around here (and one of them I was on vacation), so I am hoping that this is a sign of the turn around for publishing.
I sold two horror novels at the beginning of the three week cycle, another horror anthology a week ago Friday, two reprints for Ravenous Romance (see details at ravenousromance.blogspot.com) and two erotica titles last Tuesday. This is what being a literary agent should be like!
This year, BEA was subdued. Many of the publishers either declined to show in booths (Kensington, F&W, Rodale) or reduced their presence. But everyone there was there to do business, so it was the best BEA I've ever been to. I am quite sure that I made a sale or two in pitches in meetings, and the RR business I was able to do was amazing. It's truly interesting to go to BEA as both an agent and an editor.
