Welcome to Biting-Edge, a blog shared by authors Mario Acevedo and Jeanne Stein. We're fiction writers who've written vampire novels, so we'll ramble on about our books, events, and related topics. Why vampires? We thought there were altogether too many books about killer clowns, teenage truck stop prostitution, and tough guy former addicts. After extensive research, we learned that there had never been a fictional vampire who wore a clown suit, solicited customers at diners, or read Dickens in a prison cell to someone named Brisket.

  That Woody
Mario here:

Got my revision letter for book four. It's madness here at rewrite city.

Old Man Winter may be in retreat but doesn't mean that Mother Nature won't have her way with us. My sister sent this picture of the aftermath of an Austin, TX, storm. Her poor Prius. All the car wanted to do was reduce its carbon footprint and look what happened.


Here in Denver, my time at the keyboard was interrupted by a loud drumming in the ductwork. It would start in the morning and occur at odd times during the day. Figured out it was a crazy woodpecker banging on a pipe sticking out from the roof. My son and I chased it away with a volley of high-tech rocks.

Meanwhile, my books keep popping up all over. (Thanks, everybody) Tez Miller, a most beloved Australian book lover, posted this pic of my books in the Melbourne Central Borders.


I've got my meager fortune hanging on making this writing-novels-for-a-living gig work. But as a fallback, I had this incredible job offer come to me:
Brify Design Compnay©: Introduces the position of offshore financial
manager, you being our offshore manager your Responsible is to
processing payments from customers and clients, you did not did not need to
travel to meet our client or Customer all payment will be delivered to
you at home.

The requirements for the candidates are:

-Being energetic, responsible, honest and industrious
-Being under 18-90 years old
-Having a few (1-2 hrs a day) to check your email

And I get to keep 10% of the money that is processed through my bank account. What a windfall. I like that the company isn't at all uptight about punctuation or spelling.
 
Comments:
I don't know, sounds like your dream job, Mario-- and you meet all the criteria-- especially the "being under 18 - 90 years old" part. :-)

PS -- Glad your sis wasn't IN the Prius at the time-- she's all right, I presume...

My sister is okay. The carport collapsed during the middle of the night. Now if I could only get a carport to collapse on the woodpecker. He's back!
 
Woodpeckers have to rank just above turkeys in the intelligence dept. We have one that keeps pecking at satellite dishes. You'd think he'd get a headache.

Hi guys :)
I think the Prius actually died. Did you notice the Orb in the pic?!

Glad your sister is fine!
 
This Brify Design Company is completely fraudulant! I can't believe Mario is trying to push this company. If you receive one of these checks, google the bank or go to FDIC website.
