So, this is the last time I’ll ever use my State of the Fandom banner. That makes me sad. In all reality, though, I don’t have a clue what to say. MVF has been a huge part of my life for almost two-and-a-half years. Some of my best friends are my fellow co-owners and some of my biggest supporters are our awesome staff...
read moreThis song comes to mind as I write this, my final post for My Vamp Fiction. The first line of the chorus is “Time to say goodbye”. Indeed, it is time to bid all of you, my wonderful friends, a bittersweet farewell. It is not only the lyric of the chorus that makes this song sentimental to me, and poignant for this blog....
read moreIt’s hard to believe this is the last column I will write for MVF. I’ve been trying to think of how to say all I want to communicate within the bounds of one blog post, but I still can’t come up with a way to express in a few how much this site, its co-owners, staff and readers have meant to me over the past three years. ...
read moreIt’s hard to believe it’s all coming to an end. I’ve been with MVF since the beginning, starting as a VB in the dungeon when the lovely ladies who own this amazing site invited me to join just as they were opening the site and post my work with them. Over the past two and (nearly) a half years I’ve come to...

Parting is such sweet sorrow… A line from the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Juliet is saying goodnight to Romeo. Their sorrowful parting is also “sweet” because it makes them think about the next time they will see each other. And that is how I will forever think of my time here at My Vamp...

I Love My Life, Really or How I Had to Postpone the Novel. Again. by Sandi Layne My goal this year is to finish for the final time the historical romance with which I started my career as a novelist. That sounds either remarkably grandiose or deliberately obscure – depending upon how well you know me – but I assure you it’s...

My Tattered Bonds Book 4 of The Bloodstone Saga by Courtney Cole reviewed by Megsly It is always darkest before the dawn. Harmonia has certainly found this to be true. She has faced more than any one person, goddess or mortal, should ever have to face. She has lost her soul mate time after time, lies and deceit have surrounded her...

Once Upon a Time…many a story begins with that very phrase and takes us away into a world of fantasy that we sometimes are hesitant to leave again. ABC finally jumped on board the supernatural / fantasy / paranormal train and has created an entire show that combines our world with that of the fairy tale universe. I...

What do an early twentieth-century California tuberculosis camp, airships, and immortals in Egypt have in common? I’m still not really sure…only they all came together in the selection I am covering for this month’s “Beyond Retro.” I came across Marie Corelli, a late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century writer a few...

I can still remember as a 14 yr old girl laying on my bed and staring up at a wall filled with posters of Shaun Cassidy, Andy Gibb, Leif Garrett, and Peter Frampton. And when Cheap Trick appeared on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, I sat fixated in front of the family’s 19 inch TV imagining myself married to...

If your 2011 was anything like mine, it’s sucked pretty hard core. There were certainly some high points, but for the majority of the 365 last days, it was low after low after low. But, life is one big series of peaks and valleys and I’m pretty sure a peak is in sight. I hate making resolutions because I...
