This and That

This one is for Patti since she asked a few posts back about why everyone was so fascinated with vampires. The essay by Jeaniene Frost is called "Why Women Find Vampires Hot" http://edition.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/06/30/why.women.love.vampires/index.html?fbid=6ApMBfqHgHU And no, plastic fangs and a black cape won't cut it, guys. ;-)

The Johnny Boggs interview is up over at Book Life Now http://booklifenow.com/

newpages.com has their July call for submissions pages up http://www.newpages.com/literary/submissions.htm One thing I noticed about this anthology call for stories about animals that was listed http://theanimalanthologyproject.yolasite.com/ is that there is no mention of pay but there doesn't seem to be a publisher attached as it states on the site that there's only a possibility of publication. And if I read the about page right this is a teenage girl putting this together, so please proceed with caution if you decide to participate in this project.

And Anthologies Online http://www.anthologiesonline.com/ has posted their July calls also. Among the anthologies there are also various contests including one for a screen writing contest. Lots of interesting calls over there this month.

Great. I will go read it. I guess if you equate an insatiable thirst with blood for one for sex you might have an answer but I will hop over and find out.

Vampires are the new bad boys, Patti. You know, the boys your mother told you to stay away from ;-) I expect if Marlan Brando and James Dean were around today (in their younger versions) they'd be playing vampires!
