This.

Listed above Katniss from The Hunger Games, Kayla Porter was listed in the “Top Three of 2010: Best Female Characters” by YAVampireBooks, as one of three honorable mentions.

YAVampireBooks reviews hundreds of vampire and similar books annually, and gave This. a flattering review a few months after publication.

Sorry for not posting this news here sooner, and thanks, Sara, for the great reviews!!

The carnival came to town last weekend, and my professional filmmaker friends and I decided to take advantage and shoot a movie there. We wrote the script Friday night and shot it Saturday afternoon. Some of the footage is quite stunning and the props cooperated very nicely.

We rounded up an actress who worked out extremely well, and since we couldn’t find an actor in time, I got to be the star. There’s even a kissing scene (well, a kiss on the cheek).

It didn’t end up being about vampires but something else paranormal and I think you’ll like it anyway. I’ll post it here as soon as it gets all edited up!

Last month was our best sales month ever, thanks in part to the Kindle price drop, and so far we’re on track to beat that record by 50% this month. Thanks so much to anybody out there spreading the word!

One common question is when I’ll finish the sequel. The answer, of course, is when there’s enough demand for it. So please keep telling others about This. via your book club, your blog, facebook, and even f2f.

Also, we’ve got a fun little surprise arriving June 1…I’d tell you what it is, but then it wouldn’t be a surprise, would it?! Here’s a tiny little indecipherable hint: vampires are really coming to Utah Valley!

Kind of.

Just for you, Suzy!

This. is now available on Barnes & Noble Nook ereader. Same great .99 cent price as Amazon’s Kindle. Enjoy!

Thanks to the great response to our Kindle price drop for 2011 to 2.99, we decided to go all the way and drop the price to NINETY NINE CENTS. We’re excited about how many more readers we expect to check us out now – thanks for spreading the word to your friends who love vampire books – or any insightful action/adventure/romance books for that matter.

Even if you don’t have a Kindle, you can get a free Kindle reader for your computer. Click here, then look on the right side of the page to download Kindle reader for your PC, Iphone, Blackberry, Ipad, or Android – it’s FREE!

We jumped up to page 2 for our target vampire books Google search with 74,000 searches per month. Thanks so much to everyone who has mentioned us on your blogs or added links!! We hope to reach page 1 sometime this spring.

I’ve been selling as many or more ebook copies of This. as paper copies for months – I get the message! You love your Kindles.

I love how easy that makes distribution. So I just dropped the price from $7.38 on Kindle in hopes that you’ll tell your vampire-books-loving friends. You can now get This. for just $2.99! (it may take 24 hours for the price drop to get processed.)

Enjoy!

Through February 2011, you can save 10% off the normal low price of $7.77 for This., plus you still get a free novel with every book ordered from ThisVampire.com – now only $6.99! That’s the lowest price ever. Lucky you!

Here’s a quick little video introduction I made for This. with lots of scenes from Utah Valley where all the vampire action takes place. Let me know if you like it and I’ll make more!

This. isn’t like other vampire books. It’s written so you can relate to it, and even more so if you’ve ever floated the Provo River from Deer Creek to Vivian Park; walked, run, or biked on the River Trail, boated on Utah Lake, been to Timpanogos High School, hiked or looked up at the foothills, and experienced the many other stunning scenes that appear in the book.
