Before Twilight: How Vampires Got to Be So Hot
Think you know vampires? You’re in for some surprises! Come hear how it all got started, from eighteenth century folklore to torrid vampire romance. From fangs and coffins to stakes and sparkles, you’ll learn where everything you associate with vampires originates. You can ask questions, hear an excerpt from the vampire novel Mortal Touch, and have an opportunity to get a complimentary Tarot reading!
Mayra Calvani, of The Dark Phantom Review, interviewed Inanna Arthen as part of her Halloween series for October. You can read the interview on Blogcritics.

I will be appearing at Readercon 19 this weekend, beginning Thursday evening, July 17th, through Sunday, July 20th, at the Boston Marriott Burlington in Burlington, Massachusetts. The Boston Marriott Burlington is on Route 128 northwest of Boston, off exit 33B (Route 3A). There are about 600 parking spots, with 300 in an overflow lot downhill, and an MBTA bus from Boston stops at the hotel. Go here for more details.
I’ll be participating in the Broad Universe Rapid Fire Reading at Readercon on Saturday, July 19th at 11:00 a.m., along with Broad Universe members Roxanne Bland, Justine Graykin, Elaine Isaak, Elissa Malcohn, Sarah Micklem, Trisha J. Wooldridge, Phoebe Wray and Jennifer Pelland (emcee). We’re all going to have to pick really juicy excerpts because we only have five minutes each–you definitely won’t be bored!
During the rest of the convention, I will be assisting with the Broad Universe table in the Readercon Bookshop, attending programming, and generally circulating. I’ll be offering a Readercon Special: buy a copy of Mortal Touch from the Broad Universe Table or from Withywindle Books, and you can request a free, five-minute Tarot reading! (The reading is optional, of course, the offer is only good until the end of the convention, and it is transferrable–I’ll give a reading to anyone you choose for each copy of Mortal Touch you buy.)
Readercon 19 is open to the general public on Thursday evening. I’ll be there, along with many great authors and serious readers of genre fiction. If you’re in the area, you’re welcome–see here for details.
