Hello my Darklings!


It feels like it’s been quite a while since I last wrote a newsletter! So much has happened in the past month or so that my head is still reeling. The 2009 ETERNAL VIGILANCE book tour is well underway and, so far, has been incredibly successful. I can’t thank you all enough for your continued support of myself and my work. I certainly could not do it without you!


There are a few things I would like to tell you about. First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has purchased one of the ETERNAL VIGILANCE Vampire Vineyards packages! Apparently, the promotions are selling rapidly and Vampire Vineyards is thrilled! Because of you, the EV promotions are some of the most successful they have sold this year! Both promotions, one for each of the first two books, are available online via the links below:


First Promo: http://www.wickedwinesonline.com/product.php?productid=16323&cat=0&page=1


Second Promo: http://www.wickedwinesonline.com/product.php?productid=16325&cat=0&page=1


And, speaking of Vampire Vineyards, don’t miss your opportunity to enter the current online giveaway I am running on the Eternal Vigilance website! The prize for the May giveaway is one of the Vampire Vineyards ETERNAL VIGILANCE packages (your choice as to which one you receive)! There are four, very simple ways you can enter the contest and there is no limit on how many times you can enter! More details can be found on my website via the link below:

The giveaway ends May31st and a winner will be announced on June 1st so be sure to get your entries in while you can! I will be creating an exciting giveaway competition each month this year with prizes ranging from free copies of ETERNAL VIGILANCE to box sets of such shows as TRUE BLOOD and BLOOD TIES, gift certificates, Steampunk & Gothic jewelery, plus much more so be sure to check the Eternal Vigilance website each month for details!


Fabulous news arrived in my inbox this morning from the Vampire Film Festival! They have asked me to be on their Board of Directors for the upcoming festivities in New Orleans! I, of course, happily accepted. The dates for the festival are scheduled for October 23-26 and October 28-30. I will be in New Orleans for the second half of the festival, which coincides with the Anne Rice Vampire Ball, which I am already scheduled to participate in again this year. Rumor has it that the Vampire Film Festival will be bringing in several actors from both the TWILIGHT and NEW MOON movies. I will keep everyone posted as things begin to solidify. Truly, October is going to be a wickedly magical time in New Orleans! More info about the Vampire Film Festival and the Anne Rice Vampire Ball can be found via the below links:

June is proving to be a very exciting month and it’s just around the corner! I will be flying out to Burbank, California for the 2009 Bram Stoker convention and banquet (June 12-15)! On June 11th, beginning at 7pm, I will be participating in the large group signing of horror authors from the Horror Writers Association at the legendary Dark Delicacies bookstore! I have always dreamed of doing a signing at this particular store and look forward to the memorable experience amongst my horror peers. If you are located in California, please help me to spread the word about this unique night!


After returning from California, I will be traveling to Houston, Texas for this year’s Apollocon convention. I will be in the Author’s Row signing & selling from the 26th through the 28th. I believe I will also be speaking on panels that weekend, but as of right now, I have not been told which ones. My publisher Seraphemera Books may also be in attendance, setting up shop in the Dealer’s Room where you will be able to purchase all of the Seraphemera Books titles, etc. If you’re in the Houston area that weekend, please stop by and say hello!


That wraps up June! As always, a full list of the 2009 book tour dates can be found on my website at www.gabriellefaust.com/events.


Beginning this summer, I will be taking over for Christopher Fulbright as head of the Texas chapter of the Horror Writers Association! I am absolutely thrilled about this new position and am looking forward to working with the chapter members in 2009-2010! I will have more information about this transition in the next EV newsletter…


I have written a few new reviews & interviews this month that are now available online:


Star Trek Review: http://www.gabriellefaust.com/archives/1995


Wolverine Review: http://www.gabriellefaust.com/archives/2038


Gary Kent’s “Shadow & Light: Journeys With Outlaws in Revolutionary Hollywood”: http://fearzone.com/blog/kim-valley


I also contributed to a commentary on the “Best Blood Suckers” for the website Horror Blips: http://horrorblips.dailyradar.com/story/best_blood_suckers/


Back to ETERNAL VIGILANCE news…I recently finished the first draft of the ETERNAL VIGILANCE screenplay and will be pitching the film concept at the Bram Stoker weekend in a couple of weeks. Keep your fingers crossed that I return to Texas with good news to share with you all! There is also quite a bit of other exciting developments surrounding EV in the works, as well as several vampire festivals and balls in New Orleans in October, which I hope to be able to announce in the coming months!


Until next time…adieu!


Bites & Kisses & Best Wishes,
Gabrielle S. Faust
