I am a mixed writer, meaning I rite all kinds of things, but my preference in writing is poetry, and short stories, mainly dealing in Vampires, Romance, and Mystery. I do not write for others, in the sense that I write for the public I write for my own enjoyment, but if others wish to read what I have written and they enjoy it as well then that is fantastic.

I am a wandering chef in the greater Miami area...the mother of a pre-teen with a full blown teen attitude; a closet novelist/screenwriter and copletely obssessed with vampires...

I m a married 30 something who loves my husband and 2 dogs. I love reading and writing. I m obsessed with social networking and vampires. (Quite a combo, I know) I am constantly amazed by this world we live in and the people in it.

Anne Mercado is the quirky author behind the Green Eggs & Moms blog which offers clever parenting tips and news to keep moms with young kids sane. When she s not hunched over the computer working, you can find her either counting down to ten to get her kiddo to move faster, or reading a horror book. She also loves vampires and zombies.

I began to write out of boredom. My parents used to drag me to the bowling alley two nights a week. They would bowl with friends while I sat at a table, bored out of my mind. Instead of getting into trouble like my brother, I started writing. It made the time go faster, and I can block out any noise now no matter how loud. I have a few books published with Harlequin, and a few published with Amazon including Crushed and Vampires Rule.

I am a 46-year-old, single mother of a 21-year-old and an 11-year-old. I was married to their father for 22 years. We met in high school and dated for 5 years. We divorced about 2 1/2 years ago. I have worked at home over the internet as a medical transcriptionist since 2006. I really enjoy it but I am worried that voice recognition software is taking my place so I am also currently enrolled at Kaplan University Online in their Medical Assisting program. I hope to graduate in June 2012. We live in the country, in the house my mother grew up in. We have 4 dogs and 3 cats, much to the chagrin of my mother and my daughter. You see, I am not much of a housekeeper. I will be the first to tell anyone that. Anyway, they keep me company during the day when everyone else is at work or school. My family is very close. My parents live right down the road and we usually all travel together on vacations, parents, us, aunts and uncles, cousins, etcs. The more the merrier! We are all great readers at my house. My son is interested in medieval stories. My daughter is into vampires and Pride and Prejudice. I read murder mysteries, supernatural mysteries, and romance mysteries. See the connection?? I also like biographies of my childhood heroes and people I find interesting today. I just got Elizabeth the Queen by Sally Bedell Smith. I have always wanted to write stories but I never had any idea how to get started. I guess this will be my chance.

I am a lover of romance and vampires but not Twilight. I have always be inspired by Ann Rice.

Just like anyone else, I'd like to think that I'm something extraordinary, someone to be looked up to. I haven't quite gotten there yet, but I'm on my way. I don't care if I ever actually get there or not, but I do plan on trying my hardest. I may do it unconventionally, but as long as I stay true to myself and my beliefs, a path will reveal itself. In the meantime, I enjoy Switchfoot immensely, witty repartee, REAL vampires (not the glittery ones in Twilight), TWLOHA, Italian soda, Donald Miller, nail polish, reading while using exercise equipment (I'm all about multi-tasking), singing, Canadians, John Perkins, screenwriting, Andy Barron, Twitter (to a possibly unhealthy level), aromatherapy, movies, and lots of other random things. My favorite thing, though, is helping people whenever I can. It puts everything else in the world to shame, because I know that I've gotten someone back on their feet, or shown someone that they really are beautiful inside and out.

hey my name is daysha and i wanted to creat a club for the teens who believe in vampires and creatures like that.this is a club(coven) were a unique teen would fit in.

My name is Alex Theisen. I am twenty-six years old and live in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have cooked for several years now in high volume, fine dining, banquet, and bar and grill settings. I have lived in Sandusky, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the majority of my adult life. Living in Sandusky is great in the summer. The tourism is phenomenal due to the proximity of Cedar Point. There is also a very large boating community present in the summer that bring a lot of money with them. I attended culinary school in Pittsburgh and lived (and currently live) around the corner from it, downtown. I work at a local restaurant here and live with my girlfriend girlfreind of about a year. she is an employee at a fancy kitchen retail store. ' Most of my life i have spent working in a kitchen but in my free time I have had snowboarding, rock climbing and skateboarding as hobbies, though work and a girlfreind affords little time for those now. I cook a lot at home, and have just started to dabble in baking. I watch more movies than television now, anything with sarcasm and sattire are my favorites. I do watch the history channel, national geographic and discovery channel. I have read countless books, from Vampires to the history of Zen philosophy. I do some culinary reading, trying to stay up to date with recent technology and cuisine. I also like reading about the history of dishes I currenty make or have made in the past at work. Knowledge is power, it's true. I have always had an interest in chemistry, and someday I hope to get in to culinary chemistry. Working with food on a molecular level would be a great career for me, combing the two things I am most interested in into one job.

Hi. My name's Andrea, and right now I am happy living in Brooklyn, Michigan. I've been writing for over 15 years. I like writing ghost stories/supernatural themed books as much as I like reading them. Though I'll admit, I do write other books too. They aren't all about vampires, ghosts, werewolves, and fairies. My current favorite authors are: P.C. Cast, Richelle Mead, and Kelley Armstrong. I have a lot of favorites when it comes to music. Goo Goo Dolls is an old fave, but I also like Breaking Benjamin, Dead by Sunrise, We Are the Fallen, etc. Too many to list.

I am an ameteur witch doctor and hybrid vampire currently researching an effective pranic substitute for prana vampires using metaphysics and herbalism.

Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions or have any requests for future articles. I can also be contacted via email at Naty_Help@yahoo.com.

I absolutely love to read. My favorite genre is paranormal romance; vampires, shifters, the occasional demon series... I also enjoy romance supsense and will occasionally venture into historic romance.
