Introduce yourself here ... because otherwise you know me and I don't know you and that's not fair!

Awww good one, Vic.
I'm Raven and I'm a Zodiac-aholic and mini-pimp. I first discovered Vicki's books while shelving at my book store job. Early one morning in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section, the words of 2 authors I already liked (Charlaine Harris & Kim Harrison) encouraged me to try this new chick. The books looked interesting enough, so I gave them a try. I was hooked instantly. I have another message board where we talk about books in this genre and through that board and my day job, I've spread the word of this new author that grabs you and makes you luv her books. Along the way, I've nagged Vicki to give us readers a place to come together permanently to talk about her work. She agreed and this place was born.

Hi Vicki and Raven!
It's me again.
I found Vicki's Zodiac series at my local Borders, I picked up the first and absolutely loved it, lucky for me, the 2nd came out very soon after I read the first. Shortly after that , I ran into Vicki at the Romantic Times Book Lovers Convention in Houston and literally chased her and Richelle Mead down a hallway to tell them both how much I enjoyed their books. After that, I saw her everywhere, I swear, tell the woman you like her work and she follows you all over. <EG>
IRL I am a mammographer by day and at night when the moon is full, I turn into a continuity editor for Charlaine Harris (for the Sookie Stackhouse series). I also moderate Charlaine's board..I'm the mean one. <hehehe>It's a fun job....
Now that this board is up and running, I will have another place to make more imaginary internet friends.
Hey, where is Vampire?

Hi Vicki! Hi everyone! I "met" Vicki online when SOS was just about to come out, and Kim Harrison introduced her to her Yahoo Group. I loved reading it and TON, and had told Vicki I was interested in joining her forum if she ever had one. When to my delight I had an email this evening from her announcing this board, I ran over here to join. In the real world, I substitute teach and just started a job at a department store. I like to sing in choir, and drum in a drum circle. Hmmm.. not sure what else to put in my intro, but there'll be plenty time to expand later.

Hi Debi and Aleta and Scraggles!
Yippee! So glad you guys popped over to say hi! As you can see, the place is a little sparse yet, but I think we can spiff it up a bit -- a throw rug over there, some lava lamps to set the mood. {snort}
And Debi, I only stalk people I really, really like! It was a compliment. Vampy-Doodles hasn't shown yet, but I hope he'll be by before long. He's a sweetie...er, really tough vampire. {koff}
Aleta, I want to ask what you thought of ODW, but I guess we should start a thread in the appropriate spot. (Psst...I loved it!)
Scraggles, wassup at B&N? Everyone behaving over there? I hear Mario Acevedo is there right now -- he's a hoot! Looking at your reply...are you a Firefly fan? If so, we're kindred spirits.

...are you a Firefly fan? If so, we're kindred spirits. Definitely! I'm a fan of most things Whedonesque, but am kinda wondering about this upcoming Dr. Horrible thing, though it does sound intriguing. Sometimes I think I'm a bit out of my element with this new technology. I haven't quite caught up with the blogging world yet. Editing to add: I haven't been on the B&N boards much lately, I'm having to choose my entertainments a bit more sparingly these days, but such is life. So many books, so little time.

Hello all,
I found Vicki's books through Kim Harrison as well. Since I am another LasVegas girl, I was sucked in immediately. Then I met her at the Mysterious Galaxy signing and later drug her out to dive bars for 'research'. I'm a small time scribbler myself when I can. I'm a Sci Fi geek...my husband calls me Queen of the Nerds, a banner I where proudly. I loved Farscape (I write fan fic for it) and Firefly and Buffy, a little luke warm on Stargate, Battlestar rocks. I love Kim Harrison's series and let's see...um.... all things Vegas. I guess that's it for now.
cheers to all
stacey

Scraggles, I know nothing of the Dr. Horrible thing you mention. What gives? No matter... I rather have faith that anything Joss touches will turn to gold (the first time someone said S/F cowboys I ran the other way ). Stacey! Yep...if anyone happens to see the slideshow on my myspace page, Stacey is the hot blonde in the middle of the impromptu kickline. Onstage. At a dive bar. Downtown. Oh, and the 'drunk of the month' shot. That was the same night. ;D Awesome to see so many friendly faces over here...and to get to know a bit more about you all too!

Raven, are you the Raven at Hunters Havens? Nope, 'fraid not. That doesn't sound familiar. I was on the B&N boards though.

Hey! The one day I leave the house you go and start a forum. Cool! I'm Vampyre and am a Vicki-holic. I am so happy this place has finally came into being. I've been nagging Showgirl off and on for her to start a forum every since her appearance in the B&N forums. Kim Harrison is the one who pointed me towards Vicki. I'm so happy she did. Not only is Vicki an excellent author, she is a lot of fun to hang out with on line. Of course y'all already know that, you're here right. You will often see me refer to Vicki as "Showgirl". It's one of my nick names for her, Like most everything else, it started in the B&N forums. As we all get to know each other, you will see here call me a few things to. Some are even good. But enough of this, ge3t out there and pre-order the new book THE TOUCH OF TWILIGHT
