Also, this was my first free weekend since the end of October last year; yep, I finally got the fourth Vampire Apocalypse book finished and delivered to my publishers :-) Now we wait and see if they like it.

" well written and well thought out trilogy! "
Vampire Apocalypse by Derek Gunn
" An interesting take of the 'vampires take the world' idea i found the characters and the challenges they faced to be interesting. vampires felt a bit one sided and lacked depth in the few of them key to the story. "

My pleasure Carl! And yes, I also think it would make a great tv series but I could be accused of being a little biased!

Carl Don't know why I put Wolverine in there, lost it for a moment!!

Derek Yes, Kylee, VA: Descent into Chaos is due out late 2008/early 2009 followed by VA: Fallout.

At this stage, a movie adaptation of VA is in development (see IMDb).

KyleeJ I just discovered the VA is to be a series. Fantastic! I've already made notations in my calendar to look for "VA: Descent into Chaos" late this year.

ETA: And a movie for Torn Asunder, wow!
