Q1. Is your book going to keep the title "Vampires Don't Exist" (VDE)?
A1. It did for a while. But after I revamped the story I decided, with the help of some friends, that the story would do better with a fresh title. Some people might think "Vampires Don't Exist" is a little immature, but those same people might be willing to give "Dead Seed" a look and find it's a story they're interested in. For more information as to why I rewrote VDE, scroll down to the newest additions to the FAQ.

Q2. When will your book(s) be available to buy?
A2. "Dead Seed" is available now in the forms of download, paperback, and hardcover. Other works now available include: Dies Irae (fantasy series with a unique twist); Bad Customers: A Guide to Customer Etiquette (self explanatory).

Q3. Do you have anything else published?
A3. Yes. See "book categories" for more information

Q4. Will your books be available overseas?
A4.Yes. My works are published with Lulu and they ship worldwide. All you need is a credit card or pay pal account.

Q6. How do you get a copyright?
A6. One way I found was at this web site "http://www.copyright.gov/register/literary.html".

Q7. Why did you remove "[Dead Seed]" and its sequel "Rise and Fall of Grace" from quizillla?
A7. Because it's now published and, well, that wouldn't be very smart to have a published book available to read on the internet for free (a girl's gotta eat, ya'll!). Another reason is plagiarists. VDE (Dead Seed) has been stolen at least once and that was enough for me. However, to those would-be thief's I'd like to say: "VDE (Dead Seed) is legally copyrighted material (I have a real certificate saying so). If you steal it, it could mean prison time for you. Some people might find plagiarism flattering...not this girl.

"Rise and Fall of Grace" has been put back on quizilla. Please read the memo in the first installment before reading the story as it is not a real sequel.

Q8. How much does "[Dead Seed] " cost?
A8. Dead Seed is only available online.

-- From Lulu: Download ($1.50*); Paperback ($15.38); Hardcover ($19.99)

-- From Amazon: Paperback ($18.33)

-- From Kindle: ($1.99)

Q9. Why did you make Aralyn so weak?
A9. What you have to remember here is that Aralyn is not a woman against men. She's a human against vampires. Aimeric is terrifying; he tortures people if she disobeys, and it's impossible for her to escape. I didn't make Aralyn weak, I made Aimeric strong. And please remember, if it were a human male in Aralyn's place, he would be just as "weak."

Q10. Why did you rewrite VDE ("Vampires Don't Exist")? And why did you change the title?
A 10. I was flipping through my own copy of VDE a few months ago, right after Dollar Week, and I was appalled with the writing. The story is good, I'm willing to give myself credit for thinking up a decent, exciting, sexy, disgusting story. But I found a lot of problems with the original version: plot holes, spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Plus, there were some things I wanted to do better--add or delete to make more sense.

So, with that said, the new "Vampires Don't Exist" is now called "Dead Seed." The book is complete with a prologue, a fresh first chapter and epilogue, new scenes, deleted scenes, better (stronger) character development, and better rules explaining the reason for the vampires' existence. It's essentially the same story, just better written. I don't guarantee it to be perfect (whose writing is?), especially since I can't afford a real editor/proofer, but I can guarantee it's a lot better than the first version I put out. I'm sure you're all going to love it even more.

For my reason for changing the title, please see Question 1 (Q1) at the top of the page.

And remember, "Dead Seed" is not a sequel; it's a remake.

Q11. Why do I use Adobe to format my stories and poems?
A11. One word: Plagiarism. Although Adobe does not completely secure the document, it does provide more protection than just using MS Word or the like. I'm sorry the world is not more of a trusting place.

Q12. Why write about vampires? Why follow the trend that's become annoyingly popular, especially since "Twilight" came on the scene?


A12. I've actually only been asked this once, but it's turned into such an enlightening conversation that I thought I would put it in the FAQ in order to educate others on why I sometimes write about vampires. Here is the response I gave to the young man who asked me this question:
