I just wrote a vampire book with dark erotic undertones called Blood Ties. It is a vampire revenge story that turns into a love story. I was told I did a fantastic job writing it, and the emotions are there, everything is just right, now how to reach my readers.

I have submitted it to a publisher and hope it will be released soon. Now how do I go about promoting the book? Any ideas?

Abstractive innocence

The descending leaves of my innocence
have long since swept away
to a place where I cannot find again-
Though the branches from which they grew
have continued to stay strong
so that my heart can forever be tainted

with the blood that followed soon after.

The waters seem calm before the storm
comes beating through to chase away
the dreams I once knew-
Forced to think of time passed until the clock
stops ticking and the seed planted
will carry on to bloom

The common men who abstracted my love
sailed the same path looking for
the falling leaves that seem to be trapped-
Though the world will breath again, my soul
will never lie to anyone who takes the key
to unravel a lock that broke

with the blood that stains my very existence.

I read The Shining from all of the fuzz about it, and how everyone said it's so terrifying and scary. No such thing. I didn't feel slightly scared but had a shiver once. What's so scary about it?? What is in the end the conclusion???

I brought this book around 15 years ago at a second-hand bookstore and can't find a publishing date in the book. The cover is white with a black and white drawing depicting a scene from Little Red Riding Hood, at the bottom of the cover it reads "With 211 Drawings, Etchings & Woodcuts by great European Illustrators". The book was published by Omega Books Ltd and was printed by Brepols, Turnhout, Belgium. ISBN 0-907853-27-7. A friend suggested that my book may be worth something and aroused my curiosity. Any help would be appreciated.

I like books like the Anne Rice trilogy on the Mayfair witches, (not the vampire stories) or the Hannibal stories by Thomas Harris ( the new one is out Hannibal rising, which I have reserved at the library) The past few books I have read have been predictable and were lacking . I need something that draws you in , keeps you spellbound and can't put down. Preferably a series/trilogy/saga. Any suggestions?

I am writing a story on line called Alondra Melody Anderson-Knowles: the second comming , some of you may know it but for thse who dont ; it's about a girl who is sixteen and has a baby named Alondra Melody and a boyfriend named Curtis.

So far, they are having a good realtionship and are close and Alondra is the one bringing them together even though they are already really close.

They go on vacation in Hawaii and are intimate there one time , the next day her legs are hurting like crazy , but she is managing.

They go swimming in the ocean and Curtis' sister Curstianna (a name I really like) is swimming and she gets bitten by a shark, and she loses so much blood and engery and hits her head on the way. Curtis alerts a lifeguard and she is taken to a hospital.

She has to get the leg amupated cause their is nothing she can do with it, if she keeps it. When she finally is concious again, she cant remeber a thing and they are told to enjoy the rest of the day. What should I add?

from a private collection, may i share with you the reader.
The littlest rose grow's up
To touch your nose.
what a special touch for little rose.
The one day it was given sight,
to look into the heavens.
It saw, the nose.
The nose must be heaven to the rose.
The birds and bee"s do not smell of the fragrance,
given the rose.
No, It was made special for the nose.A.M.H.
