  1. This is a great idea! I'm excited to read your entire series. A spin-off Wizard of Oz musical and Vampires? What's not to love.

    1. Hey Cathy! Thanks so much for your good wishes! Biting Oz has some new things--a few entr'actes from Glynn's point of view, and the first-ever meeting of the v-spouses of Meiers Corners. It was fun to sit them all down at the same table and play them off each other :)

    1. Hey, Joanne! Thanks for your kind words!

      More in the series--yes, absolutely. As the matter of fact, I had a breakthrough yesterday on Beauty Bites, slated to be Biting Love Book 6. That's the story of Twyla's cousin Synnove and Ric, which also has a rather spectacular vampire-fact reveal in it, and also gives me a vehicle for Twyla finally getting her Happily-Ever-After with Nikos. I'd finished the first draft and wasn't completely satisfied with the ending. With much of my time going toward launching Biting Oz, I didn't think I'd make any progress. Oh, I kept trying. My whiteboard is edge-to-edge writing and I have pages and pages of notes scattered around the house.

      Then I realized I was going a little too by-the-book, switched things up a bit, and boom! the lead-in to the climax unblocked. Then I realized why I wasn't happy with the end--because it *wasn't* the end. Synnove's internal dilemma was solved but Ric's external one was only half-solved. So now Synnove drags the baddie off for a final comeuppance.

      After that, I finally get back to Rocky's story. Poor Rocky, she's been waiting around since 2010 for her vampire :)
