  5. Dromo talks a good talk, but it is well known in Transylvania that this only applies to human friends. He is utterly susceptible to fur friends, and will often allow stray cats to sleep in his coffin. he is literally a push-over.

    • The dirtiest go-to-h/who-do-you-think-you-are look I ever got (including high school) was from a street cat in Cluj-Napoca I had the nerve to speak to. I’m quite sure Romanian cats would be fierce protectors. I, for one, would not care to get on the wrong side of one, just from that experience.

  7. What heroine for Dromeo’s crankiness and massive ego? 🙂 LOL…….. This continuing saga is so funny.

  9. A wonderful start to my day. Ripping throats as opposed to Ripper cushions. Who could ask for more. I think the poor guy has not left his coffin in centuries…the world has changed and he’s still ripping throats instead of bombing the hell out of those he disagrees with… and I am sure there are many. Tsk tsk, Domeo needs to discover Twitter and Facebook and YouTube. At least he has discovered email. See…you can teach an “old” vampire new tricks. Who knew?
    Hugs to his fangey (spell??) self. And to the Authorlords as well.

  10. I posted this on my website, but I also wanted to leave it here ;). My thoughts on Dromichaetes’s latest letter are bracketed for easier reading. For context, it seems that Dromichaetes just read the chapter where my heroine, Veritas is confronted by Cat, Bones, Mencheres and Spade (Ian’s vampire family) with their opinions on her new relationship with Ian. Let’s get to it!

    “To Jeaniene of the Frosts,

    When your prospective mate’s so-called friends raise doubts about your suitability as an unlife partner, there is a simple and practical way to resolve that disagreement. You rip out their throat. You see, one cannot voice an opinion without one’s vocal cords. [Jeaniene’s thoughts: This seems to check out.]

    Should they regenerate and fail to understand the point you are communicating, simply repeat the process several times until they resolve to forever hold their peace. [Jeaniene’s thoughts: Have you ever dealt with family, Dromichaetes? IF ONLY it were that easy!] Having one’s vocal cords removed is unpleasant and regeneration requires a lot of energy. [Jeaniene’s thoughts: Okay, that’s probably true, but I still don’t think it’s enough to shut certain family members up.] No need to thank me. [Jeaniene’s thoughts: Oh, Dromeo, thanking you was the last thing on my mind, heh.]

    PS. That demon said what to her? Does he know who she is?! [Jeaniene’s thoughts: I know, right?! Demons have NO sense of tact. Wait until you see what Veritas does to him at the end of the book, though. It’ll make even a creature such as yourself wince.]

    PPS. Your minions have been sending me email. [Jeaniene’s thoughts: Ha ha ha ha ha!] I feel compelled to let you know that every human in communication with me is considered as a potential food source. [Jeaniene’s thoughts: Now, Dromichaetes, you know the rule about eating too many humans – a minute on the lips equals a lifetime on the hips. Practice moderation and eat your humans responsibly ;).]

    Master of the Dark Coven
    [Jeaniene’s thoughts: Your letters make my day, Dromeo!]”

  12. Bahahahaha, thank you for the giggle today. That last sentence had me giggling and I definitely needed that today. Hope things are ok with the parental one. Some folks just have to complain, makes them feel useful.

  18. Thanks to the letters, I bought myself the books of the Night Prince Series and pre-ordered Shades of Wicked. This is so bad for my bank account. Maybe I should put the other series on my Sinterklaas wish list.

  19. Sounds like Master D is developing a little book crush on the heroine. Ready to rip out throats and all…..

  20. This was fun to read, particularly as I had just finished proof-checking a contract agreement addressed to “Mr. Blood”.
    (No relation to Dromi that I am aware of).
