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!

Release Day + One

There’s still time to enter the Legacy give away at Patricia’s Vampire Notes. Pop on over and leave a comment and who knows? You might just be the winner of a signed book and a set of four book cover magnets. If you mention Biting Edge, I may just throw in a Devil Duck, too!!! Deadline is midnight tonight, Wednesday.

This was interesting, the author of “100 Things to Do Before You Die”—died. He was only 47. Evidently, he died in a fall at his home. Weird. Think it’s a karma thing? He did all the things he wanted and then….

Here’s a clip from Terminator-the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Season One is out now on DVD. I think I read in season two, John will not be such a wuss… It’s about time.

Do you write poetry? Info on Writers Digest Poetry contest here. Cash prizes (the best kind of all.)

Also, just signed on at BookTour. A good way to keep track of appearances.

Now, on to a subject near and dear to my heart. This from Elaine Bergstrom who got to see the first four or five episodes of True Blood. Take it away Elaine:

Oh yes. I will be watching this big time. Spilling is problematic because I have taken a pledge to not spill (my job) but I thought Anna Paquin as Sookie is marvelous. Bill is interesting, really seems older, as he should, and I am finding him, over time, to be the most sympathetic character in the series, other than her. I am really enjoying the southern decadence of the setting and characters. Since Alan Ball (6 Feet Under) is doing it, it has a lot of different subplots; I would suspect even more than the books. Of course, it's already had a few murders, so it's a kind of whodunit. I'm glad I never read the books.

Erik just has a few minutes so far, but it's a killer scene. I think you'll all like it.

Yippee Skippie!!

Thanks to all my pals who have pimped Legacy this week. It’s much appreciated.

Laugh of the day--Weird headline numero dos:
