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!

Is it spring yet?
Don't have a lot to report this week. My FB friends already know I got into an accident on Valentine's Day, of all days. Not my fault but my car will be out of commission for awhile. What a drag!
Did see a movie I enjoyed last weekend, though..The Descendants. Clooney at his best.
And apropos to nothing, been watching reruns of The Rifleman (with Chuck Connors) What a sweet show--the relationship between Lucas and his son keeps me coming back for more even though I didn't watch the show when it first aired all those years ago.
What a great face! If you're curious, here's a website to check out. He died in 1992. Wikipedia has a bio here
He played baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers, among others. Always had those great cheekbones.
From MTV.com
"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" reveals the untold story of honest Abe's nighttime hobby: vampire slaying. The first trailer for the film, starring Benjamin Walker as Abraham Lincoln, has arrived online.

So here we are half-way through February. Sick of cold. Sick of snow. As my good pal Betty Harper said on her Valentine, "I'm thinking the perfect gift would be a week in the sun and our toes in the sand. I'm guessing, however, that we might have to settle for chocolate..."
And I'm guessing, we did...
And I'm guessing, we did...Labels: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Chuck Connors, Poisoned Pen Press
