My book, Dead Walkers The Protectorate, will be a book club feature at the BloodTies-BloodLines Bookclub forum. The five authors whose books will be read and discussed in the bookclub are Tanya Huff, Rosemary Laurey, Amanda Ashley, Angelique Armae (me), and Michele Hauf.
The Protectorate will be September’s selection.
I’ve been invited to join AuthorMBA as a guest blogger every other Friday starting in May. I’ll be talking about author websites and giving tips on design. (web design is my day job). Until then, here’s the link to my design site: http://www.glassslipperwebdesign.com
I watched the new vampire tv series based on Tanya Huff’s books. It was great! So glad to see a new vampire series on television. I’m a huge fan of the new Dark Shadows and Forever Knight and was very disappointed when both shows ended. Blood Ties looks promising.
I’m currently working on the cover for my upcoming book BLOOD SWORD, a Dead Walkers novel and thought I’d ask readers what they like and dislike about book covers. Blood Sword is a Regency era vampire novel set in Ireland. So, my dilemma is this - do readers prefer a cover reflecting the vampire/paranormal side of the book, the historical aspect, or a combination of both?
I’ve seen some great covers for historical paranormals using photographs that don’t have anything to do with the time period. But I also like the ones that are very historical in looks but also reflect the paranormal plot.
So what catches a readers attention?
Well, I’ve been thinking about my upcoming workshops at DragonCon and decided to write a couple of articles based on what will be discussed. If you take a look at the schedule below and have any questions, please email me at: aarmae@angeliquearmae.com I’ll answer questions and post an article after the conference. For those of you who will be attending DragonCon and have any questions, please email me and I’ll try to put together a handout for the workshops pertaining to the topics discussed.
I have a schedule for DragonCon! I’ll be taking part in three panels at follows:
Friday, Sept. 1, 2006 - time to be announced:
Impending Doom: An Introduction;Welcome to Gothic Shadows 2006! - a meet and greet panel featuring various authors, muscians, artists, etc.
Friday, Sept. 1, 2006 - 8:30pm:
The Little Death;A no-holds-barred look at the way in which authors
combine erotica with the supernatural to cast a spell which both seduces and
terrifies readers. (featuring Rosemary Laurey, L.A. Banks, Angelique Armae)
Sunday, Sept. 3, 2009 - 11:30 am:
Speak of the Devil!;Demons, devils, and fallen angels are among the
oldest characters in fantastic literature. But how can creatures that are
universally considered to be evil incarnate be presented as
three-dimensional characters? This hour will show the ways in which
contemporary authors use humanity’s oldest enemies as the basis for engaging
fiction. (featuring: Angelique Armae, L.A. Banks, Mike
Lee and Lilith Saintcrow)
More details to follow!
Well, I finally decided to get a blog! I’m in the process of settling my new writing office and trying to be a bit more organized, so I figured it was time for me to get into blogging. This will be the place to learn the latest info on my books and upcoming appearances. I’ll still post to my website, but my blog will probably have the info first.
Thanks for stopping by!
