30 Days of Vampires is here! The Kickoff with a Prize!

Welcome to day one of 30 Days of Vampires! We have a full calendar this year, so full I added a day. So technically 31 Days of Vampires this time around.

In case you are new to this event, here's the scoop. Every day from now until December 31st I'll be posting an article by various vampire-loving authors. Each new post is your chance to enter to win the 30 Days grand prize– a $100 gift card to the bookstore (bricks and mortar or online) of your choice. The only disclaimer for this is that I (located in Wisconsin) have to be able to get the gift card to you at a reasonable cost (not counting the $100 value) and effort. Grand prize winner will be announced in the first week of January 2012.

In addition to the grand prize (which as I said you only have to comment on the daily posts to enter) there will be some daily prizes and even one totally free download of a vampire story.

Plus, of course, there will be lots of great blog articles on vampires by lots of great authors!

Want to know who is posting when? Just visit the 30 Days of Vampires Google Calendar.

Want a direct link to all the 30 Days of Vampires fun?

Want a chance to win a bonus prize right now?

Post below your favorite vampire of all time. Dracula? Lestat? Count Chocula? And tell me why he/she is your favorite vampire.

I'll pick one winner to get a paperback copy of Jennifer Armintrout's The Turning and a fun vampire Pez.

(U.S/Canada mailing addresses only for this one, but even if you don't qualify for this prize, comment anyway for your chance at the $100 gift card. Winner announced first week of January 2012.)
