Welcome to Biting-Edge, a blog shared by authors and vampire experts, Mario Acevedo and Jeanne Stein. We’ll cover urban fantasy, vampires, pop culture, and all things Joss Whedon. Unlike other fantasy blogs, we don’t insist on body cavity searches (unless you ask politely). Snarkiness is most welcome...though we won't promise not to bite back!

Some cool things to start the New Year—


Congratulations to Boulder author Carrie Vaughn whose new book Kitty and the Silver Bullet debuted #23 on the NYT bestseller list!

Follow the link for a teaser to the new movie National Treasure, Book of Secrets. There is a beer truck in the scene—a Fuller’s beer truck—which is one of the brands represented by Distinguished Brands, the company I do a beer newsletter for.













Then, here are pics of my friend Patty Millsap who is probably the San Diego Chargers biggest fan. In fact, she’s on her way to Indy this week for the playoff. She’s one of the Charger Backers head honchos. She said these were taken on her birthday and the way the Chargers are playing, she got one mighty nice present.



The top 10 most "literate" cities were ranked and there’s Denver at #4. The criteria were support for and commitment to reading. Snow days probably contribute to that.

1 Minneapolis
2 Seattle
3 St. Paul
4 Denver
5 Washington, D.C.
6 St. Louis
7 San Francisco
8 Atlanta
9 Pittsburgh
10 Boston

A pretty cool real estate website—Haunted House listings! For real...

Chuck Norris is suing Penguin over a book called “The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 facts about the World's Greatest Human." Evidently he has issue with “facts” like his tears cure cancer or he can charge a cell phone by rubbing it against his beard. The suit, filed in Manhattan federal court, seeks unspecified monetary damages for trademark infringement, unjust enrichment and privacy rights.

And a gentle reminder, I’m being featured on Marta Acosta’s blogspot this week and all month at the Barnes & Noble Paranormal/Urban Fantasy online book club. Stop by and ask a question or post a comment if the spirit moves you.

Wow! Carrie's cover reminds me a whole lot of yours! Congratulations to her, and she's doing a signing this weekend @ Denver Book Mall with Lynda Hilburn (author of "The Vampire Shrink").

Cool .... Denver's literate!

Ok, Chuck Norris is an ICON at our house (Alex is almost ridiculously giddy at the mention of his name). I knew eventually Chuck had to eventually object to being immortalized as much as he is. My personal favorite is his chapter in "The Book of Manliness" ... He IS the chapter on the letter N.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
 
Hi,
Jeanne's covers have a real mystical look about them. The artist is very good at capturing that feeling.
