Two rival species come together to search for answers to the Blood Memory that has been passed down to all Hammerthynn and Jameson werewolves, the Alpha’s Pipers. Vampires Simon Huntington and his partner Ellis Duban are the subject of this memory of intense betrayal and deception, yet no one has any recollection of what they did. Not the werewolves or the vampires.

Commas, my nemesis.
http://www.dailywritingtips.com/7-cases-for-inserting-or-omitting-commas/
I hate commas. They are literally the bane of my existence. With that being said, a well placed comma can make a BIG difference on what you’re trying to say.
I wish they had internet memes when I was in high school =(
This one I take personally.
And let’s end with a classic.

Writing gender specific dialogue – Writer’s Digest repost
I’ve mentioned this before, but it bothers me to NO END when I read the female point of view from a male author who has ZERO clue how a woman thinks. Some interesting tips:
http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/writing-gender-specific-dialogue
In an excerpt from On Writing Romance by Leigh Michaels,
GENDER-SPECIFIC DIALOGUE
It’s difficult for a writer to create completely convincing dialogue for a character of the opposite gender. But you can make your dialogue more realistic by checking your dialogue against a list of the ways in which most writers go wrong.
If You’re a Woman

What I think makes a strong character
If you read my last post from Jeff Gerke – “How to write a character from start to finish” – well, I’d be really surprised, because to be honest, I didn’t even read it. I will, eventually, but one thing kept standing out in my mind. How do you make a strong character?
You either make the reader love or hate him, then…
You kill them.
That’s always worked for me, at least. I write in the supernatural genre, so no one ever really stays dead. However, the build up is always the best part, and a wondrously outrageous death.

How to write a character – written by Jeff Gerke, reposted by Brian Klems/Writer’s Digest

The career ladder climber learns to cut back on his hours to enjoy his family. The bitter old crone learns to let others in. The independent pilot of the Millennium Falcon learns to care about a cause. The owner of Rick’s Café Américain decides he will stick his neck out for somebody after all.

Black Dagger Brotherhood – Book 2-6…meh
Black Dagger Brotherhood – Books 2-6
Well…I got to book 6 and had to stop. Let me be clear here when I say these books were interesting, but for as good as some parts of the first 6 books had, there were just as many things wrong.
The vampire brothers in the series have incredibly fascinating back stories. They are good men, but flawed in their 200+ years of living. Vampire males who are intrusted with the safekeeping of their race by fighting their polar opposites, the Lesser Society. Each brother,
