I&#8217;m also up for Best Blog of 2007 at <a href="http://romancebooks.splinder.com/">Isn&#8217;t it Romantic</a>!</p>
<p>So please take a moment to vote for me at those wonderful sites.  Here&#8217;s the links to the voting areas:</p>
<p><a href="http://fantasmawards.blogspot.com/2008/02/voting-is-now-open.html">FANTASM Awards</a> - Best Vampire Romance<br />
<a href="http://romancebooks.splinder.com/?from=0">BEST BLOG award</a> at <a href="http://romancebooks.splinder.com/?from=0">Isn&#8217;t It Romantic</a>. (Way down at the bottom of the post)</p>
<p>The FANTASM Award nominee, <a href="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/blood-calls">BLOOD CALLS</a>,  is now sold out in print format, but is still available as an e-book.  Don&#8217;t miss out on this tastefully erotic story about Diego, who you first met in <a href="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/temptation-calls">TEMPTATION CALLS</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/fate-calls-in-holiday-with-a-vampire/">HOLIDAY WITH A VAMPIRE</a>, which features <a href="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/fate-calls-in-holiday-with-a-vampire/">FATE CALLS</a> is almost off the shelves.  The reviews so far have been great and I hope you&#8217;ll love this sexy, but totally uplifting holiday story.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/fate-calls-in-holiday-with-a-vampire/"><img id="image174" alt="FATE CALLS in Holiday with a Vampire"src="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/vampholiday.jpg" height=325 align=left vspace=5 hspace=5 /></a>Click here for an excerpt from <a href="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/fate-calls-in-holiday-with-a-vampire/">FATE CALLS (Holiday with a Vampire)</a> and also, check <a href="http://caridad.com/blog/2007/08/08/wicked-wednesday-fate-calls-from-holiday-with-a-vampire/">out this sneak peek </a>of the first encounter between the hero, Hadrian, and Connie, the bell-ringing Santa that is driving him to drink . . . blood.</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t give you a clue, but after <a href="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/fate-calls-in-holiday-with-a-vampire/">FATE CALLS (Holiday with a Vampire)</a> is off the shelves, I&#8217;ll be posting a new twist in the mythology to the list of <a href="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/vampire-rules/">Vampire Rules in THE CALLING mythology</a>.  This twist will have implications for the future, including possibly a big change for Diana and Ryder (who you may see again in book 10 of THE CALLING!)  Many of you have been asking for this special event to happen and so I did my best to give you what you asked for by laying the groundwork in FATE CALLS!</p>
<p>In <a href="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/fate-calls-in-holiday-with-a-vampire/">FATE CALLS</a>, you&#8217;ll meet two totally new characters and you&#8217;ll find out a little more about Stacia, who gets her own book next year as well.</p>
<p>Also check out the <a href="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/vampire-rules/">Vampire Rules</a> section for info on one of the different vampires you&#8217;ll be meeting in FURY CALLS.  It&#8217;s a Chinese vampire called a Kiang-shi!  FURY CALLS is finished and is expected to be released in the Spring of 2008.  To get a sneak peek at the next three novels which will be out in 2008 and 2009, visit <a href="http://www.thecallingvampirenovels.com/works-in-progress">Works in Progress</a>.</p>
