The people who drive through Chiriaco Summit at night are shady. Vampire Trailertrash? If only... Maybe listening to too much OOTC. Thx (for) the Podcast... It's helping time go by faster... Sad only have 30 min left." Then just before midnight on July 31st, he added, "@DanS42 hey it's still July sometime... You promised!!!"

So at long last, the podcast audio adaptation of LILITH'S LOVE is complete! Is it perfect? No, of course not. I may go back and remaster some parts of it. I am always of the mind that a novel, and now any production based on one, is never finished.

I would like to thank Evo Terra for encouraging me to produce a podcast version, giving it a home on Podiobooks.com, as well as providing one of the many voices in the cast.

So what's next, besides an eventual remastered edition? Well, naturally there's the sequels. Yes, two. LILITH'S LIGHT and LILITH'S PEACE. Neither is complete. I dare say these projects alone will keep me busy for a while to come.

But that's not enough; I am also writing prequels. Prequels featuring characters that appear in the sequels but NOT in LILITH'S LOVE. Yes. I'm insane. Certifiable. And you wouldn't have me any other way.

In the meantime, if you enjoyed the podcast version and feel like donating, please do visit Podiobooks.com and leave the donation there. You'll be supporting them AND my part of the donation will go directly to the American Cancer Society.

Finally, this means Michelle and I have some free time now so we will be back to more regular episodes there. Huzzah!

In fact, we're going to go see Vampire Suck this weekend and we will return with a review of the flick then!

Hey everyone, I hope all is well with you all. I just wanted to let you know that there's not going to be a July episode for Out Of The Coffin. Besides trying to wrap up LILITH'S LOVE, Michelle's work and my work are draining our free time like Dracula on a bender.

So, we hope to catch up with you all in early August. The only good news here is that this means we'll have a LOT to chat about!

Hasta,
Dan

Her new novel GEIST comes out this October from ACE, and next summer we'll have THE MINISTRY OF PECULIAR OCCURENCES: Phoenix Rising with Tee Morris which was picked up by Eos/Harper-Collins.

Folks, we do apologize for the delay in not only episodes here but over at Liliths-Love.com. Computer problems, summer vacations, and random octopus incursions are keeping us busy. We are still planning at least a June episode with another awesome interview. Hang with us. We're getting everything in order, we promise!

Check out this promo for David Hansen's vampire play, "On The Dark Side of Twilight". David even used a blurb from our podcast when we raved about the script.
