Or the newer ones that have orgys and sex with animals...

And it's not that I have a problem with the sex but it's BAD sex...

I'll dig it out and stick it up

Got my copy ready to rock and the first 50 pages are very interesting.

To be honest I much prefer funny horror and characters like Anita. In my experience humour in a tough situation is one of the best coping methods. Thanks for answering the questions. I'll actually read one of your books tomorrow and have more Q's W

She wrote something on her blog in reply to someone moaning in her chatroom and some emails she'd been sent Dear Negative Reader. I find it quite annoying that she says I'm not a proper fan because I don't like the sex scenes. The thing is I love her earlier books but I find it hard to read some of the 85 page long sex scenes in her newer ones. As Anita once said "I don't date vampires, I kill them" now she doesn't kill anything or date, just does the wild thing. Would you say LKH inspired you?

Thanks for your answer. My main reason for asking was some vampire authors seem to take everything to heart. Anne Rice had her famous rant on Amazon because someone gave her a negative review and my favourite author Laurell K Hamilton basicly said the opposite of what you just said. Thanks, W

Hi Raven, I read alot of vampire books but the question I wanted to ask is how do you react to feedback from your readers? If, for example, they say they don't like something one of your characters is doing or they think you could improve your books by doing something? Would you take on board what they've said or would you carry on doing it? Cheers, Wraith.

From what Laurell said in her email it will be someone who's been in several books so that would count Olaf out. You'll be able to read the book in July.

As I am a person in the know on some of these subjects. Olaf and Edward will be back in the next book, along with a young Peter in training. Edward is, sadly in my opinion, still in his relationship with Donna. Also in the next book a HUMAN will be killed off at the end (it won't be Edward) but I'm guessing one of the police. Anita gets to meet the Mother of All Darkness. Anita is going on to develop lots of new skills and powers until it's revealed she is the second coming of Christ... Sadly the sex scenes will continue but the next book will have more of a "traditional" Anita Blake feel to it (police investigations and actually killing monsters). Anita also gets a new gun, or two...

Some more of Anita's "Nothing helps you sleep at night so much as being absolutely certain that you're right, and everyone else is evil. " "There's no one so self-righteous as someone policing someone else's morality." [Talking to friend Veronica, Anita Blake worries she may be pregnant.] Ronnie: I could ask, who's the father, but that's just creepy. If you are, then it's this little tiny, microscopic lump of cells. It's not a baby. It's not a person, not yet. Anita: We'll have to disagree on that one. Ronnie: You're pro-choice. Anita: Yep, I am, but I also believe that abortion is taking a life. I agree women have the right to choose, but I also think that it's still taking a life. Ronnie: That's like saying you're pro-choice and pro-life. You can't be both. Anita: I'm pro-choice because I've never been a fourteen-year-old incest victim pregnant by her father, or a woman who's going to die if the pregnancy continues, or a rape victim, or even a teenager who made a mistake. I want women to have choices, but I also believe that it's a life, especially once it's big enough to live outside the womb.

Quite like this show but I'm more looking forward to Primevil, some kind of ITV version of Torchwood

"Can the sarcasm Anita" "Please, I never use canned sarcasm. Always fresh" Anita Blake - Vampire Hunter

I guess it can be a bit hard to get into. But once you start immersing yourself in it I think it's great Might stick it on the TBR pile.

When I was 10 I'd read the Hobbit and LOTR all of the time, don't know if it's a bit wordy for your sprogs but it's always worth a try

It's true whenever I'm around SKs nieces and nephew I break out in bad cases of brokeness... Is there anything you can't handmake??

Sorry to be thick but what's the difference between a trade hardback and a normal one>?

Edward - Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series. Wiki Says: He reminds me of me and we've seen his personality develop so much over the books. Can't wait for his return int he next one.

Everyone would know that wasn't true as I'm allergic to children. Hmmm bookmark shopping this afternoon methinks. And it's nearly payday too I really want a Wraith bookmark

Some kind of emotional blackmail. Hmm the strikethrough HTML tags don't seem to work :odd:

I need an actual bookmark. Can one just get them from Smiths? I've seen them in Waterstones but I begrudge paying £5.99 for something like that.

I believe I whacked "Book Club Forum" into Google and ended up here. Shock horror. Pretty glad I did. Have been reading alot of books that I wouldn't have normally touched otherwise. And some of you have forced me to made me want to start writing for myself

My expired ID card is jammed in my current book at the moment lol

I actually only own around 8 CDs but the last one I bought was NME Best Bands 2006. Got all my favourites on there
