First, I am so excited to have won the first mug in the Dax Harrison Giveaway!! If you haven't checked out this amazing project yet, you are seriously missing out. Here's a link to the video of the drawing (Tony will be doing a giveaway for every 10 orders he receives, so you have a great chance of winning!):

And here is a link to Dax's story:

Secondly, I have been doing a lot of thinking about the issue with declining populations in post-apocalyptic worlds (like the one in Talkers), and was feeling a bit overwhelmed with the endless possibilities....when I stumbled upon an amazing article about how quickly vampires would take over the world and run out of their food supply, even accounting for different vampire models. Awesome to say the least. People have actually done studies on this. If you're interested, here's a link:

Next, I realize how important social media is, and admit I have been really lax about it. I honestly didn't think Talkers had a chance, and now that it can definitely be published with the Quill option, I'm gonna start picking it up.  If you want to follow me on Twitter, I am posting updates and articles on writing under my literary magazine handle @LamplitUG and will be making pages etc soon.

Lastly, thank you, as always, for your incredible support. I have been writing away, but will possibly post another chapter soon. Don't want to give too much away =) 

Much love, 

Janna
