  1. I love your work! House of Wizards drew me in so much, I was wondering if you considered a full book for it? Each character was so interesting. I am mighty curious to see how Rudelle and her new family come together, aren’t you?

  2. I think the stories Those who seek forgiveness and the girl who seeks forgiveness, beauty , dancing wounded and shut down should be all in one book.
    However I know shut down is being released

  3. When is the wedding and can their be a book more about Anita and Jean Claude, him showing just how powerful he is since he is the master of U.S.A. He rescue her while their love grows and they kick butts.

    1. I keep thinking this…..
      A baby would be great lol twin girls all Jean claude’s looks mixed with Anitas and all that power combined everyone would want those babies

      Lol ahhhh Anita Blake dreams ?

  4. I have been looking for 20 min, What number is this book in the series?!? I love your work and Anita Blake is my NUMNER ONE in my life! I can not find where ” Strange Candy” fits into the series.

  5. This was neat and professionally presented: I am pondering around ye olde tavern story Celandine feeling like someone has stolen the candy-the candy has been taken away from me.
    It’s a bit of a fantasy rollick-i love how tough and pragmatic the protagonists are-i bought the novel thinking it might be good for a quick thrill-and-chill like Steven King used to do. He’s moving into crime novels now, or something. Sea Monsters-Deadly Babes-Uncanny Childlike Vampires. It’s great.
    I actually did a bit of research into a hilariously plasticised “Vampire Tourism” trend in New Orleans, complete with a genuine voodoo souvenir shop I found to be more funny than breathing. It’s great, there are bunch of vampire theme bars and nightclubs in the city proper and Halloween is this epic spectacle that’s a bit like history class and bit like a bar crawl all at the same time.
    . I found a lot of churches built with no windows in and St Louis cemetery which was grand and full of statues like La Recoleta in Buenos Aires. There’s a little town called Slaughter. They’re Baptists.
    Over the state line in Arkansas there’s a town called Smackover. Which is worse? Did you find any vampires during your trips to California? When I was young the vampires of Anaheim were the most feared in the YA novel department. At Disney there’s a little plane painted with a nazi cross. They’re clearly evil incarnate.
    Looking forward to reading the rest, thanks.
