Happy St. Patrick's Day! In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I'm sharing a little teaser from Venom, featuring my Irish vamp Harvey... and Nicholas, of course. v--v Nicholas' POV  I speed the entire way home, where I practically jump out of the car and rush in through the front door. I find Harvey sitting in the living room, reading a book. Once he hears me, he puts the book down. “What is wrong with you?” he asks. “Where is Sarah?” “Sleeping.” “We have a problem.” He laughs. “I don’t have a problem. You might. In fact, you have more than just one problem, but please, go on.” “Man, just… I’m not in the mood, okay?” I guess at that point, he realizes I’m serious and that something really is wrong. “What happened?” “We have to move and I need you to do something for me.” His tone changes immediately. “Why the hell do we have to move and what do you need?” “I kind of bit someone and couldn’t compel her into forgetting it.” “Why the hell not?” “It doesn’t m...

Hi everyone, I'm currently updating my blog. It's been far too long! I really do miss blogging, but it's just been a crazy year. I'm back though and I will be here more often. :) For now, I will leave you with a quick update on new releases since last time I was here. The Vampires are back!  You know... the non-sparkling ones. v--v Venom , the first novel in the Imprinted Souls Series spin-off, featuring Nicholas, Harvey, and Sarah, is now available. So if you missed my favorite sarcastic vamp, you won't want to miss this! Synopsis: Things have always been complicated for Sarah. She was one of the few forbidden vampires who were turned as a child. She was a vampire for over 300 years, until the day she was given angel blood. She is now mortal, but her life is far from normal. Sarah lives with two vampires: Harvey, and her brother Nicholas. Together, they do what they can to keep her hidden from their kind. But between her desire to live a normal human...

Yesterday, I ran into this website called Blingee.com .  I don't even remember how I got there, but once I did, I couldn't leave. If you are not familiar with the website, you can use it to combine images (uploaded by you or from the website itself) and add quotes & other things to them.  Once you find your way around the website, it is pretty easy and they also have videos showing how to 'make a blingee'. I had so much fun with the website that I decided to make a contest out of it! Make a Blingee inspired by any of my book series:  Mermaid's Curse, Imprinted Souls, or Academy of the Fallen and you will be entered to win a signed copy of any of my books (paperback - winner's choice). Blingees must be shared on any of my Facebook pages or Twitter (@ DaniLanzarotta ) to make sure I see it. I will be accepting entries until April 15th. Have fun! :)

I loved writing this entry!  This one goes to all readers who enjoyed the water scene in Shattered Souls.  Although I've been told that if you love Nicholas, you might feel torn about Tyler once again. *evil grin* Here is my writing song for this one ( minus the parts about breathing and beating heart. *laughs* ) Imprinted Souls - The Missing Journals Tyler POV – Lexi’s choice – Part II It didn't take long for Loren's full attention to be on Nicholas instead of me, and I wanted things to stay that way.   There was only one person who Loren trusted, and that was Adrianne.   He confided in her, and because of that, I knew mostly everything that he had heard about Nicholas and Lexi.   Loren knew where they were all along.   His plan was to allow some time to pass before going after them.   He wanted Nicholas to feel confident that the chase was over.   He would then make his move when Nicholas least exp...

Hi everyone, Sorry it took so long to post this.  I've been working on Sins of the Fallen during my official writing times.  I do miss the imprinted souls characters terribly and I'm so glad I get to write these bonus chapters.  I hope you are enjoying them! Here is my writing song for this one: Imprinted Souls - The Missing Journals      Lexi’s Choice – Tyler’s POV – Part I I was at Travis’ house for what felt like an eternity.   I just sat there, staring at the box that I had given Lexi, as I waited for her text.   I wasn’t sure what she was up to, but our deal was that if this plan of hers didn’t work, I would be going after Loren.   Her text never came. Travis felt the tension in the room and claimed that he had errands to run.   Eventually, Adrianne came back to pick me up so that we could go after Loren.   I hesitated in leaving before I heard from Lexi, but I knew that the sooner we were don...

A friend texted me the other day to say that she was watching the news and they were saying that thanks to TV series and books like True Blood and Twilight, they are seeing an increase in occult-related crimes… REALLY?! Honestly, at first I was trying to imagine how they got to that conclusion, I couldn’t help but to image them interviewing people who got arrested lately and asking, “So, what books or movies have you been into lately?” or “Hey, weren’t you wearing a coat like Edward Cullen’s when you were picked up?” * shakes head * Just for how long should one blame video games, TV shows, and now, novels, before getting to the bottom line of the problem... parents needing to be parents! As far as the news go... I wish they would devote a couple of minutes everyday to focus on good news, and there are plenty of those coming from some of our favorite vampires , and vampire related books and movies. Many authors and actors have been helping on blood drives, charities...
