A V website EXCLUSIVEYou heard it here first ladies... I am SO THRILLED to announce I'm signing a second contract with my lovely, wonderful, fabulous editor at Berkley/Penguin to launch a *second* series next year. Are you sitting down? Wait for it.... I'm launching a young adult vampire series!!!! I am SO thrilled about it. I sat down one night on a whim to fiddle around with the idea, and it just barrelled out of me. The series will be told in the first person (!), and will follow one girl as she leaves her abusive home to train with other girls as an assassin/guard for a coven of male vampires living on an isle in the far north of Scotland. It'll be dark, and sexy (in a not-too-naughty YA sorta way), with lots of action and the requisite teenaged anguish. I pitched it as La Femme Nikita meets Mean Girls. I AM SO EXCITED! =)

That is so exciting!!!! You are going to have to give more more of an exclusive when I talk live with you on my show in about 2 weeks. I love young adult vampire novels very much and what you are planning to write it right on the money with what I really would enjoy reading. CONGRATS! I'm so happy for you and for us your readers who will enjoy getting our hands on this young adult series.

I am so excited for you V! I told my sister about your concept and she was like WHEN AND WHERE I'M ON BOARD! LOL. You know I love when you write a strong Heroine. They are my favorite kind. I would love a repeat of Haley! ;-)

Thanks, Gayle! I just handed the first one in, and am SO excited about it. (Let's just hope my editor ends up being *as* excited...LOL!)

We wouldn't be Veronica groupies if we didn't apply a little pressure and total faith! We are also here to bonk your editor over the head or use hidden messages in her cheerios to persuade her if she doesn't like it!
