i love this!
"there will be pain"! haha!
and i love the promise of greek mythology. and the vampire...! very cool.
What a cool meme. I've always liked the name Allegra - from the poem The Children's Hour.
I have to say that this sounds like one kickass book :D
JP Hee. Glad you liked it. Actually, I like it too. Haha! I have no shame.
It is virtually impossible for me to write anything without a vampire in it.
Indigo Thanks. I actually did name one of the characters in a half-written story "Allegra" Perhaps I should go back to finish writing that story.
Nymeth I think so too. Now I just have to actually finish writing it. And then there's editing. :p
What a great book DO! I would so pick this up in a second...seriously..pick that pen up and start writing again!!
This sounds awesome! I love that it's an epistolary novel -- there aren't enough of those in the world I think. I wish I'd thought of that for mine ...
Chris Well, as you know, Chris, I have a problem finishing the stuff I write. ;p
Dorothy I always enjoyed the old 19th century gothic novels that work on the epistolary structure. And I always believe we can never truly see the whole picture, only the parts we think we know.
It's time for a revival, but hopefully a good one.
Please hurry and write this book, Dark Orpheus!
Bybee I want to. I just need to find the diligence. And the talent!
