Here is a "preview" poem from my third vampire book "There Be Vampires".

Please check out my new Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/GrandpasChair... I am looking for pictures inspired by the poems in my three, children's, Smashwords books ("Grandpa's Chair", "Herman's Store", and "Tails From the 'Hood".

The world is full of hate and pain
Must words be hateful too? Debby Feo

"I am but a dot in the larger book of the world." by Debby Feo, from her second, historical, vampire novel called "There Be Vampires" (a future publication).

I was assured by an editor the other day that my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th historical, vampire novels will be published.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all my ISF Book Club Friends!

THE BEAR (by Debby Feo, from the book “Grandpa’s Chair”)

“Don’t go in there” said Grandpa
“There is a bear in there!”
We stayed out of that closet
For fear of that old bear

The years went by and then
I decided to
See that mean, old bear
See what he would do

I gathered up my courage
And slowly climbed the stairs
Walked quietly down the hall
Turned the corner, and was there

Would that old bear eat me?
He must be really starved
Living in the closet
Instead of in the yard

I opened up the door
Carefully, I was prepared
To run away so quickly
If that bear was really there

So dark, I could see little
So I reached up for the string
No bear was in the closet
It was full of wondrous things

Boxes full of treasures
Glassware on the shelves
Discarded childhood toys
Fragile Christmas bells

All my Grandma’s memories
Had long been stored up there
Safe from little fingers
Guarded by that bear

My first vampire book is also here

I have a haiku in the Nov. 2012 edition of "Scifaikuest". I am also in the current "Hungur" and "Beyond Centauri" magazines: http://sdpbookstore.com/recentrelease...

Haven't been doing much reading lately, been in "writing mode", and also trying to help one of the causes I support, a small business called Built of Barnwood ("Reclaimed by the Somerhalders") started by Bob and Ian Somerhalder and Bob's son Peyton. A % of BOB's sales goes to another cause that I support.

Reading the third book in the "Oldest Living Vampire" series. Didn't like the second book as much as the first, because it is too graphic in parts. Since I do like the parts where Gon, the vampire is in the past, and I had already downloaded the third, am reading now. Still enjoying Gon in the past (not "present").

Just added a mention of this page to my author's page (for "Grandpa's Chair") on Amazon.com

Big News: my first, historical, vampire novel is out! Here's the link for the announcement from Sam's Dot Publishing. I'm mentioned twice in the November "At the Dot": http://samsdotpublishing.com/atthedot...

One of my sci fi series, "Encounter in Egypt" has been appearing in "Beyond Centauri".

Just had a scifaiku (science fiction haiku) accepted for January "Beyond Centauri" (Sam's Dot Publishing: http://sdpbookstore.com/beyondcentaur...

Another poem accepted for January "Beyond Centauri". Just sent in bio, back cover info. and dedication for "A Vow of Blood", my historical vampire novel coming out in November. This is the first of four in a series. Others are being considered.

I've added some new quotes from Ian Somerhalder to my favorite quotes.

The November issue of "Hungur" will have one of my short stories and one of my poems in it. The poem is actually taken from my third (not published) vampire book and was "written" by my main vampire Gaius. "Hungur" magazine is now available on Smashwords.

Two more poems accepted for April "Beyond Centauri".

Just had a short story accepted for the January issue of "Cosmic Crime Stories".

I'm keeping my Smashwords edition of "On the Edge" for free, until after the holidays, as holidays can be very hard if one is depressed!

Release Date for my historical, vampire novel "A Vow of Blood" pushed back to November. Cover artist is working on the cover.
