It’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...

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...

Goodbye 2011 Another year has almost passed us by, and my what a year it has been. The MVF family has grown to include a host of talented new contributors with diverging opinions and fresh views on everything vampire, paranormal and more.

Last year at this time I wrote about my personal New Year’s resolutions for MVF in 2011. I thought it would be a good idea to look back and see how well I did in meeting my goals. 1. My goal is to read and review fifty books. It might be a lofty goal, but I think I can achieve it. By my count, I read and reviewed 49 books...
