Dear Diary - Monday, February 6, 2012

Yesterday, while most humans were eating, drinking and watching men chase each other up and down some field surrounded by shouting and screaming people, I was busy discovering I’m not alone in the world of cat vamps.

This photo was sent to me by author, Carole Gill, and I wanted to share it with you.  I wonder where I can get a pair of wings like that!

Life has been a little cat nip crazy lately.  I helped T.K. Millin finish and submit their short story for consideration in Angelic Knight Press'  third Satan’s Toybox Anthology, Terrifying Teddies.  It was a scary good time putting paw to paper!

Then there’s been Flash Fiction Fridays, cat napping while T.K. writes her blog, The Unknown Author (I give her space to write that on her own, makes her feel important!), and outlining my next big adventure, a middle-grade novel that combines historical fiction with science fiction!  (Okay, it’s really T.K. Millin’s project, but I know I’ll have a chance to add my four paws worth)  

I hope you have a killer week and don’t forget to stop by again on Friday to sink your teeth into some scary good flash fiction.  Vamplit Publishing's  theme this week is Antique Scientific Oddities.

REFLECTIONS...

Dear Diary,

This week I felt compelled to do some self-reflection, and since I’m always looking at myself in the mirror I found it to be quite easy. 

Knowing I am Efi Loo, The Cat Vamp, I knew my keen feline vision would see nothing but purrfection; however, much to my surprise I discovered I’ve been a little self-centered these past couple weeks. (Okay, actually T.K. Millin had to point it out) But in my defense it’s been a little easy letting my paws get a little too big for my litter box. I mean how many cats can claw out a flash fiction every week, maintain two blogs and sleep through numerous edits? 

But since I’m reflecting this week I would like to take full responsibility for the one thing I’ve been neglecting lately and it’s a very big one thing. Okay enough pussy footin’ around, I have neglected something that’s very important in a writer’s life and that’s paying if forward.

Meew, now that I’ve gotten my one short coming out of the bag I’d like to shine a spotlight on fellow authors who have been so supportive of my feline adventures and I’d like to let them know I am meowfully grateful.

Over the next few weeks I will share their sites and stories with you and I know you will find them just as interesting as I do. Each of them also welcome new friends with open paws!

This week I’d like to thank Carole Gill, author of The House on Blackstone Moor, and several anthologies and sci-fi stories. It doesn’t take a bright light to make Carole shine. Since I made a promise not to talk about myself I’d have to admit Carole Gill is one of the hardest working “human” authors I know. 

Her work is timeless, classical and SCARY! If you like all things vampires, demons or gothic then Carole Gill is the author for you. Carole also writes Friday Flash Fiction, in fact, she was very open to helping a feline ghost writer join in on the fun.

I’ve provided links below to her two blogs (okay so maybe I’m not all that of a cat) where you can better get to know Carole Gill and her writings. I hope you find a little time to visit, because if you don’t, remember, I am Efi Loo, The Cat Vamp!
