The long awaited publication of Written In BLOOD, the 8th novel in the SF/vampire series Children of The Dragon by Theresa M. Moore, has been pushed back to Spring of 2010 due to delays and technical problems. All subsequent books in the series ha...

- About Me:
- Author of science fantasy adventure and nonfiction books on a variety of related subjects like history, mythology and science. I have been writing in the genres since 1966. I also write the Children of The Dragon series; a chronicle of the Xosan, living vampires from the planet Antellus who were once human but were transformed by a dragon's blood. These books are based on a series of short stories I wrote in the 1980's and 1990's and predate the current "Underworld", "Twilight", "True Blood" and "The Vampire Diaries" series of books and media, so they are by no means derivative. Titles include: Destiny's Forge, To Taste The Dragon's Blood, NAGRASANTI, Red Dragon, The Queen's Marksman, The Black Witch (a pirate story), and VIRUS. I am working on an 8th book, Written In BLOOD, since 2007 and expect to have it published by October of this year. I have also written a mystery-paranormal detective novel, The Mystery of Cranewood Manor, and 2 nonfiction books; one on the history and background of Miyamoto Musashi and the other on self-publishing. I am working on 4 more. I also design and create artisan made designer jewelry.

How to Improve Your Web Site Presentation
In the process of maintaining a web site for the purpose of promoting and selling my products (books, artwork and jewelry), I found that the code I was using was no longer adequate. I had been using the same version of "xhtml 1.0 transitional" for about two years, and I realized that some of the tags were either not helpful or actually hindered my access to browsers which were faster and more sophisticated. For example, some widgets employ xml, which is not really helpful in my case, but… Continue

On Vampire Fiction And The Strange Synergies Within
By synergies, I mean the odd coincidence of similarities among different writers of vampire fiction. I think that the only difference was expressed in the strange name Anne Rice picked for her quintessential vampire "Lestat", and Chelsea Yarbro's "St. Germain". But apart from those I have been frequently amazed at the sameness of both names and situations. It is not unusual for the vampire to be thematically paired with a fair damsel and a jealous lover. The eternal triangle must b… Continue

On the Valueless Notion of "Free"
Once upon a time there were people who produced things for barter or trade. It is an ancient and unsustainable system, because now people are expected to pay for things with something called money.
Before the internet and what is called the new "communism", where the state is expected to pay for everything, people had to pay for things they wanted. They had to pay their rent or their mortgage, for their utilities, for their modern conveniences, for clothing and food. They still do, but now t… Continue

Slides, Anyone?
I added a few slides of my books to my blogspot. I'm not sure yet if they should stay on or not.Do you have more trouble loading my blogspot with the slides up? Do you like them or are they too distracting?
A Christmas Tree Already
On the way home from work yesterday, I passed a house that already had a lighted and decorated Christmas tree up and showing by the window.Is it not too soon for that? In my mind, the day after Thanksgiving is when the Christmas Season starts. That's when it's fair game to put up a tree and decorations and start shopping. The way things are going this year, I'll be lucky if I get organized enough to decorate a few days before Christmas.
With our dog, Rascal, who lives up to her name, we'll probably go with a fiber optic small tree on top of an end table. One of these days I may pull put the larger tree from the box in the basement and set it up, but not until our doggy is a little more sedate. I don't feel like chasing her to get ornaments out of her mouth. I will be putting up knick knacks, lights inside and decorations on the walls, so it will still look Christmasy. No lights outside because for some reason we have no outlets outside.
While we're on the subject of Christmas trees and such, be sure to add holidays in your books. You can mention decorations and lights or Easter eggs and baskets, or even mattress sales in your descriptions to ground the reader as to the season.
Now, back to that tree I saw. What about you? When do you decorate for Christmas? What do you put up?
Winners and Losers at the CMAs and Life
I love country music and almost every country performer. While watching the CMAs, I enjoyed seeing the winners accept their awards. On the other hand, it was hard for me to see the losers do their best to appear gracious and for the most part succeeding.For every winner, there's a loser. In life and in books, it's the same way. How people react to their good and bad fortune shows what their characters are made of. You don't have to tell a reader who the good guy or bad guy is. Let their actions speak for themselves. The readers are smart enough to figure it out.
PS Can't finish this blog without saying - You Rock, Taylor Swift! You are one smart, talented teenager! Congrats on all your awards, especially, Entertainer of the Year!!!
CMA Awards Tonight and Twitter
One of my favorite shows is on tonight - the CMA Awards. If you're a country music fan, you're probably like me and will be glued to the TV 8pm EST, or in my case 7pm, in the flatlands of Illinois.Almost all my favorite performers will be there, except I hear that Rascal Flatts can't make it.
I'll be on Twitter during the show also. That's part of the fun of it - discussing and dissecting outfits, performers, songs and even commercials, kind of like I'm at a giant party with people who all go for the same thing and want to share.
What about you? What kind of music do you like? Do you tweet during a favorite show or event?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

Your books sound very interesting. Were would be the best place to find them?
My first novel (which I am still working on) is a the first in a series of fantasy novels (at least I hope it will be a series). I have not yet been published, but I am getting alot of advice from fellow authors. I have one idea for a science fiction novel, and then I am in the midst of writing a vampire novel/series. And I have written some short stories as well.
God Bless,
Shawn
