To all my friends, future friends, readers, family, and just those stopping by the blog

I am so absolutely flattered to get two great reviews from Bitten by Books! It’s made my day!

First, for Michael, the reviewer says:
“A fantastic new e-book series kicks off with its first entry. Angela Cameron is a relatively new author, and I expect great things from her – this novel was wonderful!…“

I was so happy to read that, but it was the review for Jonas that made me laugh out loud. The reviewer says of Jonas’s alter, Luciano:
“…Tempering his more prosaic half is Luciano, a harder-edged personality much less likely to be gentle and caring…and who ends up being quite a bit hotter.“

Jonas haunted me during the time I wrote Blood & Sex, Vol. 1 and continued through the third story. If he’d had his choice, I think he’d have taken all three books to himself. And I had to worry about my own sanity at times when I thought Luciano was hot, too. I mean, who starts crushing on a fictional vampire’s alternate personality of their own creation?

The reviews wrap up with:
“This series comes with a very positive recommendation. Cameron is a talented author with a lot to offer readers, and her gritty vampire world is seductive, tempting.”

A big thank you to Jennifer, the reviewer, for taking the time to review my stories. I’m honored to be among the reviewed authors at Bitten by Books and look forward to reading more of Jennifer’s reviews.

Ok, here’s a cool new movie that I’m dying to see. It’s a Blair Witch style haunting movie. Low budget and indie that Paramount bought. People are leaving the theater early because they’re too scared to watch the whole thing. Yes, it will probably be on DVD–at noon–next to hubby…but I can’t wait to see it!

So, anyone already watched it? I’d love to hear more

If you’re a regular to the blog, you’re probably wondering where the heck I’ve been since June. Well, it’s been the summer from HELL! Murphy’s Law was in full effect. I had a heat stroke, hubby a light heart attack (and he’s only 35 and in great health otherwise), my daughter had a random and seemingly causeless seizure, and so on.
Then, in August, I found out that I’m pregnant!

Yep. Pregnant.

Baby at 12 wk sonar

And I found out the week that my only other baby started high school!!!!

Unlike my first pregnancy, this one kept me nauseous from the time I woke up until the time I went to sleep. Dizzy every time I stood up, and I could only eat potatoes. There were a lot of concerns because of my particular genetics, problems with the first pregnancy, and the fact that I was sterile for 15 years because of PCOS. But, it’s So, here I am, 16 weeks today. The exhaustion has faded in the last week or so. The nausea is gone, and I’m ready to kick some fiction ass!

Look for some awesome updates coming soon. I’m back ba-by! Atleast until March…I’m due the 22nd…hubby’s birthday. (And yeah, that’s my little grinning alien in the 4D sonar pic at 12 weeks.)

Okay, so I took one of those fun little quizzes the other day to find out which crazy writer I am. The results of the quiz from http://roflquiz.com/r/134337/ are in (and they’re hilarious!)…

Hunter S. Thompson

Well hot damn. You are a hard-drinking, hard-living adrenaline junkie with a taste for fast vehicles, altered perception, and dangerous firearms. You also have a remarkably strong sense of justice, and a very distinct moral compass. Good god, man, people keep expecting you to meet a grisly, messy end, but we all know damn well that you’re not going out unless it’s on your own terms… you simply won’t take any guff from these swine! Mahalo.

I’m so completely honored and flattered to be included on the list at Romance Junkies, compiled by their book club, of the “Debut Titles That Rock!”

Blood & Sex, Vol. 1 is among such great titles as Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, Mark of the Demon by Diana Rowland, My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult, and Eve of Darkness by S. J. Day.

Will the Alleanza survive the modern pressures of the vampiro cosca?

Will Blane be able to break through the guarded reserve of Christiana, the beautiful woman the vampiro leader has sent to educate the newest vampires?

Or will her sense of duty be stronger than the passion that threatens to sweep her away?

A wonderful and flattering new review is up at http://www.lisabetsarai.com/michaelreview.html

Here’s a clip of what the reviewer has to say about my book Blood & Sex, Vol. 1: Michael.

“I have scant patience with vampire romance. Forgive me the pun if I say that the genre has been done to death. It’s rare to find a treatment of vampires with any original aspects. Equally unusual are vampires who are convincingly dark or who demonstrate the complexity one would expect of creatures who have lived for centuries. These days, vampires are the new rock stars. (In fact, a distressingly large number of books actually feature bands composed of the undead.) Romance vampires are trendy, sharp, sexy and as shallow as a kid’s swimming pool.

Angela Cameron’s vampires are an exception. In Michael, Ms. Cameron offers a vampire society with echos of the Mafia: a society based on authority, loyalty, kinship and honor, threaded with the tensions of power struggles and possible betrayal. The vampires have reached an accord promising mutual co-existence with mortals. They own the night, cavorting in their fetish clubs and feeding from willing humans seduced by their glamor, but they supposedly no longer hunt mortal prey…”
