RWA Report: Sandi Shilhanek | RWA….Thus Far
Guests , News / July 29, 2010

This is my first time to be “attending” RWA from start to finish. My trip started at the of dawn on Sunday…well ok, 7:00 AMish at a McDonalds very close to my home. There I met Sara, Pat, Gwen, Rosemary Clement-Moore and Daniel, who was just helping us to load and not actually coming on our exciting road trip. Follow me on Twitter We drove to Georgia where we spent the night. The next day we picked up Faye and continued into Florida and Disney World. The entire road trip was so exciting because I’ve never before been to Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, or yes even Disney in Florida! Since we stopped in each of these states I can now officially add them to the places I’ve visited. Lovely rooms here at the Boardwalk Resort, lovely, wonderful friends to share a once in a lifetime experience with, and the opportunity to meet so many wonderful authors I can’t possibly name them all here. I do have to mention meeting Tara Taylor Quinn, Sharon Sala and of course I had my first face to face with Robyn Carr! Ok… time to go have more great once in a lifetime experiences. Until Sunday…

Jocelynn Drake | Discover “Dark Days”
Author Guest / July 29, 2010

The Dark Days series follows a vampire named Mira with a fiery disposition and a vampire hunter named Danaus as they are forced to work together to thwart a dark race from its attempts to wipe out mankind.  Over the length of several books, Mira and Danaus have come to respect each other and see each other as comrades in arms.  They’ve even become reluctant friends, even though there is a lot of mistrust on both sides.  PRAY FOR DAWN is the fourth book in the series and was just released at the end of June.  I really enjoyed writing this book because it gave me the chance for the first time to tell the story from Danaus’s point of view.  This was an interesting struggle because it was the first time that I had ever tried to tell anything from a guy’s point of view.  However, I enjoyed it because it was the first time that I was able to dig deeper into this mysterious guy’s past and do a little exploring as to why he acts the way he does.  Oddly enough, the book even delves a little into Mira’s own past and looks at how fragile her…
