		<description>Ah, but to say that I began writing an adult Vampire novel in 2003 and that I actually dreamed the story seems like I am trying to take away the imaginative writing of Stephanie Meyer but I am not.  My story is an adult novel of a Vampire romance.  However, I have decided not to bother continuing the novel after the Twilight series came out as I felt there was no way for me to compete with Mrs. Meyer.  Should the novel remain in my drawer collecting dust?  All I know is that I cannot get it out of my mind.  I am not getting any younger.  I am in my early 60&#039;s.  Still my dream book lingers in my thoughts.  So sad to watch it withering away in my desk.  One day perhaps, one day, I will continue my story.  I will probably never get it published thus it would just remain in my dreams.</description>

		<description>Uh, very good posting I guess. Not positive I agree with you 100% but I guess without unique views the planet would be a very boring place ;\</description>

		<description>I know I have what it takes to write a Vampire Novel because I just finished doing so. I just need a literary agent to help me get things moving.</description>

		<description>Dear Christina,

I myself am writing a novel though it is not about vampires. I am fascinated by vampires nd love reading vampire novels, your book sounds very good I think I will have to read it soon.

But I do have a question to ask you...

You managed to get your book recognised &amp; published, but how did you go about it? and was your book fully written when you went to publishers? 
I would love to get my book publoshed in a few years time.

Would love to know what you think,,

Tori.</description>

		<description>Hey there! 

I just wanted to let you know that I&#039;ve just published my first novel, Cat the Vamp, under the name Christina Martine. It&#039;s available on www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnobel.com just to name a few sites. On amazon, I have a few reviews already, so check them out for more info. You can also browse through my book on there! You can order the novel off my publisher&#039;s website. (http://bylightunseenmedia.com/ctv.htm) You can even order it into Chapters or any other book store near you if you find that easier! 

I appreciate all your support! Feel free to give me feedback on the book. My website will be up and running soon. 

Spread the word! If you know anyone who likes vampires, this book is dark, modern, fresh and nothing like you&#039;ve ever read! 

*If you&#039;re getting sick of vampires that sparkle, Cat the Vamp is for you! It deals with real vampirism, psi-vamps, and blood addiction. 

Beware! There are some drug references and sex! 

Have a fantastic day!

		<description>Writing a novel is easy, getting a publisher to notice, that is the hard part. For now I&#039;ve given up on looking for a publisher (mind you, that could change at a whim) and have been focusing on my own website to showcase my writing, including my novel. The way I see it I would rather it be read for free than not at all and if an interested publisher ever comes my way then yay for me.

A very useful tool for the aspiring writer is http://www.scribd.com/ it&#039;s a great site to showcase your work and it also allows you to embed your work into your own web pages. It&#039;s also a great way to &#039;meet&#039; other writers. You can also set the security level and copyright of your work.

Another useful site is http://www.triggerstreet.com/ which is Kevin Spacey&#039;s production company where members can post their works to be read and critiqued by other members. It is also a good way to gain exposure as a writer.

Both sites are free to join and all works are copyright protected.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve actually just finished my short story for Extended Project, and it&#039;s a story about a girl who becomes a vampire (Not as lame as it sounds). It&#039;s called &quot;Diary of a Pixie&quot; (Main character&#039;s called Pixie) I&#039;m just worried people will think I bastardized the Vampire Diaries title D;</description>
