Yeratel: Oh my goodness.  That would be so cool...yet I worry I'd fall behind!  I disappear from other forums for months at a time. I'd feel horrible doing that to my own forum.  Maybe it'd give me incentive to be diligent, though.
Heh! By the time you've got a dozen or so published books out there, you should be able to have someone set up and run the website for you. Pat Elrod updates her's every couple of months, or when she has a new book coming out, like Jim does when he posts sample chapters here.

 What you need is a fan with the knowledge to run it.  I'm most definitely not that tech-type person!  MSD... though???  :-)  I think her calendar is full though. 


Heh - I'd be flattered, but yeah... just a little full... what with my country's 500th anniversary to plan, so many to torture, and others to frame for it...I'm just swamped!  ;)
If you are up to no good, please do no good for me too, okay?   ;D

As long as you are "peeking" in now and then....

I'm a fan of Succabus Blues BUT wow--your preview for the new series sounds like something I'll like even more!  Your writing is always sharp, witty, exciting & fresh.   Can you get us more samples????
Wait... what?  A new series?  Oh, man, my TBR pile just grew...   :P

Sample chapter in back of On Top.  I'll check my copy at home and get you the title and the date...  Meg

I just found out that a German underground/ goth publisher will have a translation soon

(I don't know about the rules for links here - if you are at work or offended by pictures of breasts or something, you might not want to follow that link)

I only read the British editions of Dresden Files, so I am half a year behind concerning the plot.
I also only read them when I travel.

You are correct...not sure I think of them as 'underground,' but yup!   :D They're doing a translation that'll be out in 2009, so I'm pretty excited.  That same company is doing a translation of Vampire Academy too.  There are also eventually going to be French, Spanish, and Russian translations eventually.

And for those asking about the new series, the first book in it is called Storm Born, and its first chapter is online on over at my website.  Also, if you're fast, I have a contest ending tonight on my blog where you can win a copy of Storm Born by coming up with the worst thing to say on a first date.

Missed your cut off--but the worst I've ever heard a friend report was "Do you have a younger sister?"

OUCH!  Will anxiously look for Storm Born  (Great name!)

They published the diary of a 15 year old prostitute, that's certainly not mainstream.
OK, maybe not underground in the home-made copies sense.

I'm this close to making a joke about Germany, but I love the Germans too much.   :P

Afraid not.  That one's on my website too, but I can't give away any more than that! :)  It's only a few weeks away, though. After that, I have rapidfire releases.  An anthology in August, next succubus book in October, and Vampire Academy 3 in November!

Um, Ms. Mead?

I have a question regarding Georgina's John Cusack look-a-like demon boss.

Is his name pronounced Jer-roam or like Jeremy?

My friend pointed out that the old Christian pronunciation of that spelling is like Jeremy, but i thought the Jer-roam pronouncement was more butch, so i kinda took mental liberty, however, i would like your honest input on the intended pronunciation of the name.  Thank you.
