  <about><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Meet Jane Bled, award-winning author of GLBT speculative fiction.&amp;nbsp; Her penchant for prose and evocative imagery promises to provide readers with imaginative, titillating tales they won&amp;rsquo;t soon forget.&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Crimson&lt;/strong&gt;, the first book in her hit gay vampire series &lt;strong&gt;MASTER&lt;/strong&gt;, won Best E-book in the 2009 Hollywood Book Festival.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to penning dark stories of forbidden lust, homoeroticism, and the supernatural, Jane also sings and composes her own music.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;She often dreams of leading an accomplished writing career while entertaining audience members nationwide. During downtime, Jane spends quite evenings at home with her beloved, cozies up with a good novel, and acts in the occasional play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She loves vampires and chocolate, though not necessarily at the same time.&amp;nbsp; In the future,&amp;nbsp;Jane hopes to travel around the world with her other half while continuing to enjoy the wonders of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To learn more about Jane, and her creative projects, or to read free excerpts from her works, please visit &lt;a title=&quot;My website&quot; href=&quot;http://www.janebled.com&quot;&gt;http://www.janebled.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Jane's&amp;nbsp;also an avid &lt;a title=&quot;twitterer&quot; href=&quot;http://www.twitter.com/janebled&quot;&gt;twitterer&lt;/a&gt;, and&amp;nbsp;she's been known to make appearances on &lt;a title=&quot;livejournal&quot; href=&quot;http://jane-bled.livejournal.com&quot;&gt;livejournal&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title=&quot;myspace&quot; href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/janebled&quot;&gt;myspace&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a title=&quot;facebook&quot; href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/janebled&quot;&gt;facebook&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last, but never least,&amp;nbsp;she loves&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title=&quot;myspace karaoke&quot; href=&quot;http://ksolo.myspace.com/janebled&quot;&gt;myspace karaoke &lt;/a&gt;(and she's not bad at it--so she's been told).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
