I want to say “Thank you” for all those who prayed or sent their good wishes to Victor, or who asked about his health. It has a been terrible ordeal for my poor little yellow Lab. He almost died. He is a constant forager for food in any condition when on walks and when off the leash has gotten into some pretty nasty stuff. (Which is why he only went through the first nine steps for becoming a ten-step Guide Dog for the Blind; if he can smell food he pays attention to nothing else.) Howev...

I wonder if, just for once, my blog will let me type in a message to you without me having to go through Admin. Fingers crossed. So far it's working. I want everyone to know that I am on a writing SPREE and that this is the reason I have been late recently in answering emails or getting on the Forum. I hope to be able to multitask soon, but right now I am riding the wave, because times like this are special and what I really figure you people want is for me to giv...

I’ve been sick for several days (sorry to anybody I was snippy to on Forum—I feel like you-know-what.) But then I saw this article on CNN.com: http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/31/world/asia/afghanistan-strangulation/index.html, that is about a man who, with the help of his mother, beat and strangled his wife, Storay Mohammed, for bearing him a daughter rather than a son. The cowardly guy is on the run but he left Mom behind to take the heat . . . and to say, unbelievably, that her...

Today marks the five-year anniversary of my mother’s death, and it is, as it should be, a sad day for me. But also it is at the beginning of a new year, which I take as time to look back at the previous twelve months and meditate on them. The last year has been a very good one. I have had the amazing fortune to get a sympathetic, brilliant, dynamic agent, and I’m everlastingly grateful for his insights, his tenacity, and his gentle sense of humor. I’ve made progress on my manuscripts. ST...

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am back from my holiday vacation in southern California. Victor was an absolute angel on both the trip down and the trip up. He was rather depressed over the holidays, and I think he believed that he was once again being moved to a new house. When, after a seven-hour drive he began to recognize landmarks he started to dance in the car and once we got inside the house he tore up and down the stairs like a crazy dog. I had to take him into the backya...

. . . about which of the Midnight Jewel Boxes you like best, and second best, and third best, etc.. You can just click on the little pictures to see the names of the boxes. The reason you might want to do this is that on June 15, at some hour unknown even to me at this point, the winners (both USA and foreign) will be notified in this blog, and possibly elsewhere (I'll make it clearer than mud come the day).. If you happen to see your name and the location you've used to...

Today (well, tonight) a fan wrote to me. She said, more or less, "Is Elena going to become a vampire again? I'd really like that. Could you tell the ghostwriter to put it into her books?"
I may seriously lose my mind. I can't tell the ghostwriter anything. First, I'm not allowed to. Second, if I were allowed to speak to her, what would I say? I know who she is. I knew her before I chose her as the person to carry the series on after I had written either three or six more books...

Grand Prize Winner Says:
"Oh my gosh I can't believe it! I have never won anything EVER! First Thank you! Not just for choosing me, but for sharing your gift with all of your fans. I have been a Vampire Diaries fan since the beginning. You are the main source of my inspiration to write. I have read everything you have written and will continue to do so as long as you choose to write.
(You can use that for the quote if you would like :-) I am frankly just screaming my head...
