Vale isn't immortal, but he is longer lived than your average human. If Bludmen can live to 300, I'm guessing Vale would hit 150, maybe, since he's half human. And as for Cherie... what happened to her is a reflection of the child sex trade, and her time there was a nightmare. In Wicked Ever After, I mention that she finally got her happily ever after, though. As a rape victim myself, I can't imagine a world in which women weren't weighed down by past abuse, but I also want to see them move past it and triumph on the other side, like I feel I did.(less)

Star Wars writers have a lot of freedom to tell our stories within the guidelines provided by our editors. We know what SW is trying to achieve, and it's our job to tell a story in that framework. There's an extensive pitching and outlining process to make sure everyone is happy with the direction of the book and that it doesn't interfere with or contradict other storylines. It's an organic and fun process where we rarely feel trapped or ramrodded. Hope that helps!(less)

How to Write IP. Yes, like Star Wars

IP stands for Intellectual Property. It refers to any world you didn’t create— Star Wars, Star Trek, even worlds by other fiction authors, like Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse books. Legally, you can’t write in these worlds and get paid for it, so the only way to officially write in your favorite IP sandbox is to get an invite.

But how?

First of all, writing IP isn’t about who loves the proper

“I would burn down the world for you," he whispered fiercely. "Your world or my own. I would rip down the entire city with my bare hands without a second thought. I don't need to taste anything else, I don't need a comparison.”
Delilah S. Dawson, Wicked as They Come

“Time to beat back the bunny hordes," he said gallantly,knowing that any blood-hungry animals in the area would be waiting outside for me.
He threw open the door, shouting, "Bunnies, prepare to meet your doom!”
Delilah S. Dawson, Wicked as They Come

“Dammit, woman! You're scent, your stupid bloody delicious scent lingering in every crevice of my body and my wardrobe, driving me nearly mad. Do you know what it's like to want something so badly, to have it so close, and still feel that it's out of your reach? Out of control?”

Liv Chanin Thanks for accepting my friend request! I've always only had three favorite fictional characters: Hannibal Lecter, Dolores Claiborne, and Lestat. I have officially added Criminy Stain to that list. He is absolutely delicious!

Sophia Thank you for accepting my friend request, Delilah. I only just finished catching up on your fabulous series yesterday. Talented lady!

VampireNovelFan Thanks for friending, Delilah! And thanks for dropping by my blog the other day. I was totally not expecting that so it was a huge pleasant surprise! I can't wait until the giveaway is over so that I can talk about it with even more friends. You're doing a stellar job!

Oh and FYI, when you reply to comments made here on your profile, the other user won't receive an alert that you've posted. You have to post over on their profile comments for them to know. It's a weird Goodreads quirk that they have yet to fix.

Delilah Dawson Thanks, Bri! Random shoe love is always welcome. =) Those are one of my fav pair, from Iron Fist. The skull eyes are crystals.

They asked how they knew I was Delilah, and I told them I was wearing Delilah's underpants. I guess that was good enough. =)

I'm kind of a late adopter, as you can tell by my camera-less flip phone with collies as one of 4 available wallpapers. =) But if you're here, it must be cool.
