I am super excited today to be part of this massive Anthology Tour Extravaganza for Seventh Star Press and am featuring one of the books that I just can't wait to read, 'Vampires Don't Sparkle', edited by Michael West.
Editor Bio

A member of the Horror Writers Association and Indiana Horror Writers,
where he serves as President, West earned a degree in Telecommunications and
Film Theory from Indiana University, and since that time, he has written a
multitude of short stories, articles, and reviews for various on-line and print
publications. He lives and works in the Indianapolis area with his wife, their
two children, their bird, Rodan, their turtle, Gamera, and their dog, King
Seesar.
His children are convinced that spirits move through the woods
near their home.
Vampires Don’t Sparkle! (editor Michael West): What would you do if
you had unlimited power and eternal life?
Would you…go back to high
school? Attend the same classes year after year, going through the pomp and
circumstance of one graduation after another, until you found the perfect date
to take to prom? Would you…spend your days moping and brooding, finding your
only joy in a game of baseball on a stormy day? Or would you…do something else?
Anything else?
The authors of this
collection have a few ideas; some fanciful, some humorous, and some as dark as
an endless night. Join us, and discover what it truly means to be “vampyre.”
