Since beginning my new life path, VAMPIRE KISSES, TEENAGE MERMAID, and MY MOTHER, THE CLOWN have been published by Facet in Belgium and JOHNNY LIGHTNING has been published in Germany by Ravensburger. In 2001 HarperCollins made me an offer I couldn’t refuse! Not only was HarperCollins going to publish TEENAGE MERMAID, but it was in a language I could read and book stores I could walk into! HarperCollins also bought VAMPIRE KISSES and COMEDY GIRL.
He was kind enough to send the manuscript to his publisher in Belgium-Facet-and they published it! In Dutch! Mark, my writing mentor, edited JL for me. I returned from LA, and instead of moving there, I wrote my story about the rock star as a young adult novel and called it JOHNNY LIGHTNING. On a plane to LA to decide my fate- “to move to LA or not to move to LA” that is the question, my big bro, Mark, coincidentally with the same last name as mine (author of PRINCES IN EXILE, DREAMS OF THE SOLO TRAPEZE and STARCROSSED) handed me a young adult book he found at the library he thought I’d like to read during the flight.Īs I read the book, I thought, ‘I can do this!’ It was during this time I began to write an adult novel about a rock star-I had always enjoyed writing.įast forward a couple of years along with a move home where I was performing “stand-up” at comedy clubs in the area. There, I graduated from the Second City Training Center and performed improv, Shakespeare, comedies and dramas-I even sang and danced on a cruise boat-without falling in Lake Michigan! A classmate of mine from Second City and I created and performed a two woman show for a year before I braved it alone doing stand-up comedy. When I returned from London, I relocated to Chicago where I lived for five years. I attended a local university majoring in theatre and spent a summer in London at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts where I learned about the “Old Bard” from amazingly talented teachers. But one day, she encounters the attractive yet mysterious Alexander Sterling that lives in the mansion, and feels like he is the only person that actually understands her.Before I took pen to paper, I was an actress. Even Raven, who has always loved vampires since she was little, believes the rumors. Everyone in the small town, which Raven refers to as “Dullsville”, believes that the new neighbors are actually secret bloodthirsty vampires. When an old abandoned mansion finally gets new residents, the rumors start to spread.
Vampire Kisses is about a 16-year-old girl named Raven Madison who is a goth misfit in her polo-wearing, ordinary, town. Vampire Kisses is a series of books written by Ellen Schreiber.
